Navigate Part 29 of Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2. Learn stealth tactics for the Ship's Bow, strategies for the Command Center, and how to defeat Screaming Mantis.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Ship's Bow:
    1. Equip the Mk2 and crawl east.
  2. 2
    Shoot the two Haven Troopers approaching you. Aim for the one behind to avoid suspicion.
  3. 3
    Continue down the side of the ship.
  4. 4
    Take out the next pair of Haven Troopers that jump down from the second floor.
  5. 5
    Continue until you reach the bodies of the previous two Troopers.
  6. 6
    Quickly knock out the approaching Haven Trooper with a headshot.
  7. 7
    Wait for two more patrolling Troopers to move away and sneak by.
  8. 8
    As you approach the last body, another Haven Trooper will appear; knock her out.
  9. 9
    To avoid the Gekko roaming the south end, stand up and hug the tank labeled "R1" to squeeze between crates and the tank.
  10. 10
    Crawl south, keeping an eye on the radar.
  11. 11
    Take out two more Haven Troopers that jump down from the second floor with the Mk2.
  12. 12
    Crawl around the corner and hide behind a crate east of the exit door.
  13. 13
    Wait for the second Gekko to be destroyed by Mei Ling's ship cannon.
  14. 14
    Wait for the remaining Gekko to walk away, then run to the door and turn the handle several times to open it.
  15. 15
    Enter the door and grab items before entering the elevator.
  • Command Center:
    1. Grab ammo in the first room.
    2. Head through the door to trigger a cinematic.
    3. Upon regaining control, eliminate visible Haven Troopers while moving out of the center circle.
    4. Run to the highest level behind the last row of computers and hide in the entrance for cover.
    5. Use the Solid Eye to track Haven Troopers on the stairway to your left.
    6. Knock them out with the Mk2 as they approach.
    7. Be prepared for Troopers attacking from the side, which should be visible on the radar.
    8. After the first wave, more Troopers will appear on the balcony above; continue to pick them off from the doorway with the SVD or Mosin Nagant.
    9. Once the balcony Troopers are eliminated, another small team will jump down from the second floor; knock them out.
    10. Prepare for the boss fight.
  • Boss: Screaming Mantis
    1. Meryl and Haven Troopers will be under Mantis' control; run from the center and use computers for cover.
    2. Attempting to shoot Mantis directly will result in the crosshairs not focusing on her.
    3. Call Otacon.
    • Tips
    • Stick to stealth in the Ship's Bow; panicking and shooting everything will alert enemies.
    • The Mk2 is effective for stealth knockouts.
    • Use the environment for cover, especially the crates and tanks in the Ship's Bow.
    • In the Command Center, using the doorway on the highest level provides excellent cover against multiple enemy approaches.
    • The SVD or Mosin Nagant are recommended for picking off enemies on the Command Center balcony.
    • Screaming Mantis' fight is a gimmick; focus on figuring out the correct method of attack rather than direct confrontation.
