Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 Part 27 guide covers defeating Crying Wolf, navigating the Blast Furnace, and reaching the Underground Base.
Walkthrough
- 1To defeat Crying Wolf, stay upwind and use the Solid Eye's (a type of HUD (heads-up display — the on-screen icons showing health, ammo and the minimap) element) night vision to spot her heat signature. Avoid staying downwind, as she can track you by scent.
- 2Engage Crying Wolf from a distance using a long-range weapon with a scope, such as the SVD or Mosin Nagant. Damage can only be inflicted when her exposed body is visible as she prepares to fire her rail gun.
- 3Initially, Crying Wolf is located on the opposite side of the Communications Tower. Crawl and use the camera to search the area thoroughly.
- 4Once Crying Wolf is spotted, check for any nearby Haven Troopers and eliminate her. Her subsequent location will be easier to track.
- 5After defeating Crying Wolf, she becomes Crying Beauty. Maintain distance, as her grab attack causes damage until you can break free.
- 6In the Blast Furnace area, head west along the first catwalk and shimmy across a narrow ledge.
- 7Proceed down the stairs and check the locked door in the northeast corner. The exit is in the northwest corner.
- 8Return to the third floor and drop to ground level, avoiding Scarabs (small, rolling enemies).
- 9Use the elevator to descend to the B5 basement. Consider using a chaff grenade (an item that disrupts enemy sensors) if you encounter difficulties.
- 10In the Casting Facility, stay inside the elevator to avoid detection by Gekkos (robotic enemies).
- 11Follow the south wall east, then cross to the western side before entering the northern portion, keeping track of the Gekko's position. A second Gekko may be present on the east side in more difficult games.
- 12In the northern half, navigate past Gekkos and Scarabs. Stay on the west side and use mechanical equipment as cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects).
- 13Wait for patrolling Scarabs to finish scanning the west wall and move away, then quickly run across and dive behind equipment for cover. A ration (healing item) is located between a piece of equipment and the wall.
- 14Cross back to the eastern side, waiting for the Gekko in the center to move south before climbing onto conveyor belts. Avoid being seen by Scarabs on the other side.
- 15When the Scarabs are facing away, jump down and run to the exit. Climb down the ladder and proceed through the door to the Underground Base.
- 16In the Underground Base hallway, crawl through a broken gate.
- 17Follow behind a Scarab rolling on the catwalk, waiting for it to move away from the entrance to Rex's holding area.
- 18Duck under a Gekko on the wall to avoid detection. The door to the elevator will not open if you are in an alert phase (detected by enemies), which also triggers an endless swarm of Scarabs.
- 19If the area is clear, enter the Underground Base to prepare to fight Vamp.
