Walk toward the door and face him toward it. The door will open and you must drag him into the doorway and choke him 2 to 3 times to knock him out. While he is dazed, run in and pick up the items you need.

Confuse The Guards

Naked Soldier
After you save the DARPA Chief you'll have to get out of the cell. But how? Well, during the scene you should've seen a lady doing her exercises. Who was that lady? You'll find out later. Anyway, just wait a few seconds and you'll hear punching and kicking. Then a guard will open your door. Why would the enemy do that? Well, you don't have time to think now. Just go out the door. During the scene, the soldier will sound like...A GIRL!! The girl from the other cell must have got out of her cell and knock out the guard. Then she must've put the uniform on to make it look like she's one of the terrorists! You can see the naked soldier after you fight the other terrorists.

Trick The Guard
After you submit at the torture round with Ocelot, you'll find your self in the Medi Room, locked in a cell with the corpse of the DARPA Cheif. How are you going to get out of there? Well, when the soldier outside the cell goes to the bathroom, Otacon will appear in front of the door. He'll give you KETCHUP and a RATION. The KETCHUP is a useful item. After Otacon leaves, equip the KETCHUP and lay down and press the CIRCLE button. Snake will dump the KETCHUP all over him to make it look like he's dead. Once the guard comes back, he'll unlock the door and investigate the cell. Now's your chance to escape. Quickly get up and run out of the cell. The guard will follow you but strangle him using the SQUARE button. If you fail this trick there is another trick. Once the guard is sleeping or in the bathroom, crawl and hide under the bed that's very visable. Once the guard wakes up or comes out of the bathroom, he'll unlock the cell door. Now you can escape. If you fail the first time, keep trying! Also if you want to annoy the guard, go up the the wall and press the CIRCLE button. Snake will punch and kick the wall. The guard will keep telling Snake to shut up. If you continue doing this, the guard will get annoyed.

Once you're on the 1st floor, the Colonel will contact you. He'll say you'll need to use your Mine Detector to find the key (the PAL Key should come up on the radar as a blinking red dot). Equip the Mine Detector and go into the ditch located on the left side of the base enterance. If you see a camera, then you're headed in the right direction. Now go in the ditch and look at the radar to look for the PAL Key. Once you find it, go a little further and you'll see another blinking red dot. This is a bomb! Get the bomb. Notice that it is on a 12- second countdown. If you don't throw the bomb within 12 seconds, Snake will explode and it's GAME OVER! However, go to the Items Menu and look for the bomb.

Find Out Where The DARPA Chief Is Located
This tip is mostly for beginners but if you wanna see a short scene, follow my directions. When you get inside the Tanker Hangar for the first time in the game, go up the ladder and crawl through the duct. Once you see a vent on the bottom, a scene will begin. Snake will over hear the guards' conversation. They'll mention that they moved the DARPA Chief into the 1st Floor Basement of the Tanker Hangar. They'll also mention about a women and an intruder using Stealth that has killed 3 people already. Who's this women and this intruder? No time to think. Just turn back and rescue the DARPA Chief (now that you know where he's located).
