Metal Gear Solid Hints
How do I escape from the cell?
1 of 10: Is there someone on the base who could help you out?
2 of 10: Give Otacon a call, and he will come and help you after a bout of torture or two.
3 of 10: After a while, Otacon will come and give you a ration, a security card, a handkerchief, and some tomato ketchup.
4 of 10: You need to think carefully about how to use the ketchup.
5 of 10: When the guard rushes off the bathroom, you can use the ketchup to fake an injury.
6 of 10: Lie down on the ground and use the ketchup.
7 of 10: When the guard comes back he will open the door to see what happened.
8 of 10: Wait until he has opened the door, then get up and knock him out.
9 of 10: If he locks you in, wait until he goes to the bathroom again and hide under the bed. When he comes back he will come in again.
10 of 10: If you still can't escape, keep enduring the torture, and eventually the Ninja will come and bust you out.
