Unlockables/Collectables

Secret Weapon & Items

Tanegashima

This gun can be bought from Drebin for 1,000,000 DP, 800,000 DP on Wednesdays or Sundays in Acts 1 through 4, or 500,000 DP in Act 5. When fired outdoors or a headshot is scored, there is a chance that a vicious wind will blow. The wind kills anyone in its path except Snake, and countless items drop from the wind. The gun only carries one shot, and takes a significant amount of time to reload. The wind effect will also not happen on Act 4 (Shadow Moses) despite it being very windy (blizzard) outside.

Once the trophy patch is downloaded, the player will receive the trophy "Divine Wind" upon managing to summon said wind.

Bandana

The Bandana can be obtained by finishing the game without killing any humans (beast forms are allowed to be killed but not beauty forms during boss fights) or by buying it from Drebin for 5,000,000 Drebin Points (4,000,000 DP on Wednesdays or Sundays) or 2,500,000 DP in Act 5 (no discount on Wednesdays or Sundays though). When worn, Snake will have infinite ammo. Using it will count against your "Special Items" score.

Once the Bandana is obtained, the player will unlock the trophy "Infinite Ammo."

Stealth Camouflage

The Stealth Camouflage can be obtained by finishing the game without entering an alert phase (cautions are allowed) or by buying it from Drebin for 5,000,000 Drebin Points (4,000,000 DP on Wednesdays or Sundays) or 2,500,000 DP during Act 5. When worn, Snake's camo index will always be 100%. However, Gekkos will still be able to see Snake and PMC soldiers will still hear his footsteps. Also, during an alert phase and bossfights, the camo index will be 95%, allowing PMC soldiers to see Snake. Like the Bandana, using it will count against your "Special Items" score.

Digital Camera

See Main Article

The Digital Camera can be found behind Sunny's desk during Act One, Two or Three's mission briefing, or in the kitchen during Act Four's Mission Briefing. The camera allows you to take pictures in-game and access them from the photo album in the main menu which can then be exported to the PS3s HDD. If you pick it up during Act 4, you will find pictures of Sunny and Naomi on the camera.

Scanning Plug S.

After clocking up 10 hours of play time on Metal Gear Online, the scanning plug can be purchased from Drebin. Used the same way as the syringe, injecting an enemy soldier with the plug hacks into the SOP system and reveals the location of all soldiers. If you had not played for 10 hours prior to MGO's shutdown, you can enter the password on the Extras menu skynytktjp.

It's a different matter when speaking about the Big Boss's FaceCamo on FROGS, as they immediately faint after seeing Snake.

iPod Songs

Main article: iPod

Dolls

There are five dolls that can be obtained in the game. Each is obtained by defeating a respective boss non-lethally (for the Beauty and the Beast unit, specifically the Beast form). When all 5 dolls are collected, the player will unlock the Solar Gun.

The dolls that you have collected can be seen in the Nomad's kitchen.

Misc

Name How to unlock The Boss Extreme (difficulty level) Complete the game once. New Combat Vests Complete the game once.

Mk. III Gekko Destruction

After getting the power to work in Shadow Moses, where the player has to enter a series of numbers for Otacon, approaching the exit that leads to the electric floored hallway will cause a Gekko to appear inevitably. The player can use the Mk. III to activate the power board near the entrance of the elevator to completely destroy the Gekko, assuming that they get there fast enough to leave the Gekko on the electric part of the floor. Approach the power board and when prompted with an icon denoting an image of the Mk. III's action, press triangle. The Gekko will be electrocuted and will be instantly destroyed, and the player will get extra Drebin Points.

This is easier to do if they player causes the Gekko to collapse by shooting both of its legs.

Easter eggs

Boss fights

Name Details The White Room During the "Beauty" phase of every fight with a BB member, going roughly two or three minutes without defeating the Beauty will send you to a "White Room", where they will continue to pursue you and you cannot use the codec. Whilst in this room, pointing a camera at the Beauties will cause them to pose for you, and playing "Oishii Two-han Seikatsu" on the iPod will make them dance. Running out of time means instant death for the beauty, however. This does not count as a kill, but you won't get the FaceCamo if you let her die. If you also want the FaceCamo you have to use tranquilizer or other form of non lethal combat on them. Psycho Mantis The conclusion of the Psycho Mantis battle is slightly different depending on whether or not you have a DualShock controller. If you have a Sixaxis, then Mantis will go mad over the fact that the vibration is gone. With a DualShock 3, Mantis will cheer as he finds out that the controller's vibration is back before disappearing. You can also hear his Sixaxis conclusion by turning off the DualShock. A Present from Liquid Ocelot During the final battle with Liquid Ocelot, when he does his signature gesture, press and hold triangle to replenish Snake's life gauge. Be careful, though, as Liquid's life gauge will also be replenished (though not quite as much). You're pretty good During the final battle with Liquid Ocelot, when Liquid gets Snake in a headlock, press nothing. He will kiss Snake on the cheek. This will unlock the "You're Pretty Good" trophy. Snake hesitation to fire During Act 4 when Raiden and Vamp are fighting on top of REX, if you try to shoot the railgun up at REX's head Snake won't do it and say things like "it's no good!" and "I can't do it!" Just like in Metal Gear Solid. Codec fun with Mantis Calling Rose or Otacon during the Screaming Mantis battle will allow you to enjoy a number of Codec conversations referencing the Psycho Mantis battle in Metal Gear Solid (see "Codec" below). The Sorrow Try pressing X after seeing Psycho Mantis in the battle with Screaming Mantis, or L1 when The Sorrow's voice is heard.

The Nomad

On board the Nomad, there are many easter eggs that can be seen during the Briefing segments.

A PlayStation 3 console can be seen in the kitchen and a PlayStation Portable can also be seen during the Act 2 Briefing. Sunny will pick it up and play Penguin Adventure, the first game Hideo Kojima ever worked on.

A model of Metal Gear REX and some Policenauts artwork can be seen on Otacon's desktop.

An artwork of Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner can also been seen on one of Otacon's monitors.

While in control of the Mk. II, the tendril can be used to mess around with various objects. Pressing the remote control in the cargo hold will change the viewscreen to a photo slideshow of Akina Minami. Pressing the dial of the radio in the kitchen will play random songs. The songs are different in each briefing segment. The player can tease the chicken in their cages. Their names are Solid, Solidus, and Liquid.



If the internal clock of the PlayStation 3 is set to 12/25, a Christmas tree can be seen in the center of the cargo hold when the game is paused.

If the internal clock of the PlayStation 3 is set to 10/31, a pumpkin can be seen on the table in the cargo hold when the game is paused.

During Act 4 briefing, Naomi's necklace hangs on the leftmost monitor of Sunny's workstation. A picture of Gray Fox is in it.

During the Act 3 intermission, when Raiden is injured, one of Sunny's monitors is blue as if it has no input. In the top right corner of this monitor, it reads "Hideo" instead of "Video."

Codec

Main article: Metal Gear Solid 4 conversations

Otacon

When in the canyon before entering the Warhead Storage Building on Shadow Moses, the player can call Otacon to hear a somewhat funny conversation. It starts out with Otacon asking Snake how he defeated Raven and his tank during the first Metal Gear Solid. After Snake responds with "Grenades," Otacon says he asked an officer in the Army what you had to do if you were a single infantryman and you had to take out a tank. The Army officer responded with "Don't." It is then that Otacon professes what a badass Snake is, going so far as to call him "the shit."

Before heading into the Blast Furnace, Snake receives a funny Codec call from Otacon.

Otacon: Hold it Snake. Time to change the disc. I know, I know… It's a pain. But you need to swap Disc 1 for Disc 2. You see the disc labeled “2”?

Snake: Uhh..no.

Otacon: Huh? Oh, wait! We’re on PS3™ system! It’s a Blu-ray Disc. Dual-layered too—no need to swap.

Snake: Damn it, Otacon, get a grip!

Otacon: Yeah, what an age we live in, huh Snake? Wonder what they’ll think of next!

After encountering the rats in the vents on Shadow Moses, call Otacon to hear Snake talk about how they helped him in Metal Gear Solid .

. During the battle with Screaming Mantis, change the controller settings to another port to hear a Codec conversation between Snake and Otacon about Snake's inability to move.

Otacon has a story about virtually every room in Act 4 that Snake encountered in the original Metal Gear Solid . Sometimes the player will have to call him twice to hear it.

. Sometimes the player will have to call him twice to hear it. After beating Crying Beauty, a pack of wolves will appear. If the player hurts one of them and call Otacon, he will be disgusted.

In Act 3 kill the resistance members one by one and call Otacon each time and see how he goes nuts. Be warned, however, that doing this too many times will result in game over.

In Act 4 call Otacon before walking up to the hibernating Gekko. He will tell the player that he's never seen this kind of operational mode from a Gekko. Next, walk up to it and let it jump up. Run away then call Otacon again. Snake will be surprised and say he almost had a heart attack. Then they will joke about the creator of the Gekko being a real bastard.

If you kill the ravens in one of the rooms that contains Dwarf Gekkos, Otacon will tell you to stop hurting them.

During Codec calls Otacon will still push his glasses up even when he isn't wearing any.

During the Laughing Octopus battle, she will disguise herself as the Mk. II, and call the player over; instead of following the "Mk II", and setting off the octobombs that she drops, call Otacon on the Codec and a conversation will initiate between the two on why Otacon is calling him over. Call him after setting off the bombs and Snake will yell at Otacon for leading him into a trap.

Rosemary

Shaking the controller during a call with Rose will cause her breasts to bounce, depending on how the player shakes the controller.

After defeating Crying Wolf, use CQC or shoot at one of the wolf dogs and call Rose. She will then tell Snake that antisocial behavior and animal cruelty has been linked for a long time, and warns him that he will go through a thorough psychological evaluation if Snake ever tries to harm any animals again.

During the battle with Screaming Mantis, Campbell (through Rosemary's codec) calls Snake to tell him to change controllers like in Metal Gear Solid . However, Rosemary then tells Campbell that it will not work.

. However, Rosemary then tells Campbell that it will not work. While fighting Screaming Mantis, call Rosemary to hear Colonel Campbell's suggestion to shoot the Psycho Mantis bust.

When Psycho Mantis tries to show the player his abilities, if he fails to both read their memory card and vibrate their controller, a female voice over appears, saying, "No more massages for you, then." This is a reference to the original Metal Gear Solid , when Snake was put in captivity, Naomi helped the player by making them put the controller against their arm, and vibrate, giving them a massage.

, when Snake was put in captivity, Naomi helped the player by making them put the controller against their arm, and vibrate, giving them a massage. If the player calls Rosemary several times, they will hear a funny story between Rose and Campbell about how terrible Rosemary's food is.

Call Rose after dying and continue. Snake will tell Rose about how he keeps having dreams about dying. The player can do this multiple times, and get different responses. If the player does this after drowning or being strangled, Snake will say he is suddenly more aware of his O2 gauge.

Call Rosemary too many times and she will ask Snake "What has gotten into you?"

Each day the player plays the game, Rosemary wears different sweaters.

Ghosts

As with some Metal Gear Solid games, there are 49 ghosts that can be seen in certain places using the in-game camera. Some are characters from Metal Gear Solid, whilst some are members of the Metal Gear Solid 4 development team. In order to see the ghosts, unlike in Metal Gear Solid, a photo does not need to be taken in order to see the ghost; they can be seen through the camera's viewfinder, as long as the "Sorrow" doll is equipped.

For a comprehensive lists of all the ghosts, see the Ghost page.

Audio flashbacks

In certain situations during normal gameplay, dialogue audio from previous titles will playback. Many of these occur at Shadow Moses Island, where audio from Metal Gear Solid will playback, in the form of Snake's memories. Note: these flashbacks will not occur during Caution mode. If the player listens to whole of the flashback (which can be canceled by using the Codec, the START menu, or by moving too far away), Snake will be awarded Drebin Points. Activating most of the flashbacks unlock trophies.

What to do What happens Kill 100 people during Acts 1, 2, or 5. Flashback to Liquid's voice insisting that Snake "enjoy[s] all the killing". Doing this will unlock the trophy "You enjoy all the killing, that's why". (Note: if this is heard, Snake will vomit and the Psyche Gauge will become greatly depleted, with no Drebin Points being awarded) (Note: You can actually pause to stop Snake from vomiting) Find the crop circle in South America near the river while tracking Naomi in Act 2. Flashback to one of the AI Colonel's conversations about being abducted by aliens from Metal Gear Solid 2. When the flashback ends, the player will be awarded 1,000 Drebin Points. Doing this will unlock the trophy "Crop Circle". Walk up to the elevator at the Helipad. Flashback to Snake's conversation after coming up the elevator. Walk up to the middle of the Helipad. Flashback to Mei Ling's introduction. Walk up to a security camera near the Helipad and press X. Flashback to "A surveillance camera?" Only works if music is still playing. Enter through either the vent on the ground level or the vent on the second level in the Helipad rather than entering through the door. Flashback to "Master Miller's" introduction. Walk up to the cargo door exiting the Tank Hangar. Flashback to Snake calling Meryl after meeting President Baker. Walk down the hallway to Otacon's office. Flashback to the screams of the soldiers being killed by Gray Fox. Walk up to the locker in Otacon's office. Flashback to Gray Fox's second introduction.

Go down the Service Elevator in the Blast Furnace after Otacon tells you to do so. Flashback of Master Miller telling Snake that Naomi is a spy and Naomi telling Snake she vowed revenge on Snake over Gray Fox. Stand near the cargo door in the underground base leading to REX's hangar. Flashback of Raven's final speech to Snake. Aim the Mk.23 (SOCOM) after acquiring it. Snake will comment, "Just like old times." Move the camera directly overhead and move around. Snake will say, "Overhead view - just like old times. Now we're talking." Stand next to the center of the path after just entering the Canyon from the Tank Hangar. Flashback to "Deepthroat's" first CODEC call warning of mines.

Hidden First-Person Views

Some cutscenes allow Snake to look in first-person view even if the L1 icon does not appear in the corner of the screen, while others have little hidden scenes that happen quickly when the L1 icon is displayed.

Cutscene What Snake Sees When you hold L1 to see Screaming Mantis in the Middle East. ..Move the camera to the left, and Snake can see the ghost of Psycho Mantis in the sky mind-controlling Screaming Mantis. During one of the L1 sequences when Snake first meets Naomi.. ..Laughing Octopus quickly leaps away outside a window. When Naomi is talking to Snake and when he drops his cigarette.. ..Snake tries to get an upskirt shot of Naomi. However, Naomi quickly realizes this and closes her legs completely. When Naomi tells Snake how long he has to live in in Act 2.. ..Snake will look at Naomi's chest. This will refill Snake's psyche gauge. When the disguised Scarabs are seen during Snake's first meeting with EVA in the church in Act 3.. ..You will see the robot's point of view, spying on Snake.

Misc

Name Details Screaming Mantis' Strings If you die, look closely and you will see the gossamer strings attached to Snake. Akina Minami Posters Akina posters appear in the Vista Mansion in Act 2. Two Akina posters can also be found in Act 3, the first one in Midtown S Sector and the other one is in Midtown Central Sector near a bridge. If you aim at the posters or view them in first person, Snake will say "Akina!", "It's Akina!" If the player viewed all model posters, they will obtain the trophy "Are you an Otaku too?" Distracted Resistance Member If you wear any of the 4 Beauty & The Beast Face Camos and run up to a Resistance member in Act 3, he will try to examine you closely, talk dirty to you and hearts will dangle over his head. Strange enough, putting on the Raiden, Campbell or Otacon Face Camo will trigger a similar response, minus the hearts and flirtatious talk. Refill Psyche During Cut-Scenes If during a cut-scene something causes Snake's psyche gauge to decrease, press X rapidly to replenish it. Show Me Your Motions When a character is introduced and their name comes up onscreen, press R2 to see the motion capture artist's name rather than the voice actors. Statue in Act 1 When disguising Snake as a statue in Act 1, Snake can break the other statue's penis by repeatedly pressing on it, blowing his cover if he's seen by a PMC soldier. Doing so after the trophy patch unlocks the "Handle with Caution" trophy. Changing the channel When starting a new game, you will see a variety of commercials and shows playing. You can press buttons to change the channels. There are seven in total, five showing different shows, fictional advertisements, two blank extras which simply say "HIDEO1" and "HIDEO2", and one featuring David Hayter wearing the Solid Eye, one talking about survival cooking, one talking about sea creatures, a game show and some workout commercial by someone called the Sergeant. After each program, a commercial will be shown for one of the PMCs owned by Liquid Ocelot, depending on which channel you are on. Also, the channel numbers are Hurley's lottery numbers from the TV show, LOST. Hand Camo On the Mountain Trail, when you encounter a soldier laying a claymore mine, take the North-East path(there should also be a set of handprints on the ground, visible with the NVG). The metal plate you find in a clearing contains signatures and handprints of several MGS4 crew members. By lying on it, you can acquire the unique "Hand Camo". Calling Campbell During any briefing in which Roy Campbell calls over the viewscreen, use the Mk II/III to "attack" the remote control sitting on a table in front of the screen. Shooting Gallery Shoot at or knock over glass bottles almost anywhere to recover psych. You can also recover psych by shooting other kinds of objects, such as the flower pots in Naomi's lab. Otacon's Secret Webcam In Act 3, Mission Briefing, if you look at Otacon's laptop, you'll see that he is viewing Naomi's breasts from a secret webcam, but she blocks out her arms to cancel the view. The webcam can be seen between Otacon's computer monitors. Being followed In Act 3 you can see dwarf gekko following you through the stage. Just after meeting the resistance member in the corner before the first two PMC soldiers look where you came from and you will see its hat. Also in the park after the resistance member takes a pee in the statue, look towards the fountain and you'll see the scarabs behind the bush. It appears as well under the bridge next to the sewer before the resistance member enters in the tunnel. If you try to confront the scarabs, they will vanish. Bringing out a soldier's true feelings Equip Solid Eye and examine a soldier. In the soldier's information should be a lightly colored icon which displays which emotion they carry into battle. Assaulting them with CQC or non-lethally shooting them will fill out the icon until it is fully colored. You can also hold them up on the ground and keep shooting a loud weapon near them. When this happens, the soldiers emotions take over their actions until they pass out. Otacon's Codec Moments Otacon always seems to have a conversation no matter what the situation. You can literally go through hundreds of bonus conversations by calling him in different stages (see "Codec" above for some notable examples) Female denial After holding up one of the FROGS, you can do a body search while they're standing.
