Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons Of Liberty Dog Tags Guide (PAL) By Dark Angel (dark_angel13uk@hotmail.com) This is only for the PAL version of the game as the American and I think the Japanese versions have less Dog Tags than the PAL version, and have different names etc. This document is copyrighted by Dark Angel (13/03/2002).

HOW TO GET DOG TAGS-------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Firstly, to obtain dog tags from guards you need to hold them up. To do this, approach a guard from behind and get close to them, and pull out a gun, usually the M9, USP or SOCOM will do. Using First Person View Mode (FPV) is particularly useful. Your character will shout FREEZE! and the guard will put up his hands. Now slowly release the Square button to put your gun away without firing or just unleash a shot away from the guard so you don't hit him. Go around to the front of the guard and raise your gun again. In FPV, aim your gun at the guard's head or genital area. He will whimper and shake, making his dog tags fall to the ground. For some guards, they won't give up their tags so easily. For guards who go "Are you really going to shoot me?" just equip the USP (in the tanker) or SOCOM (in the Plant) and shoot them in the foot or hand, then aim at their head again. You can even use the Nikita or RGB6 to hold guards up. They should now give up their tags. Also, if you get one the "tough" guards and try holding them up with an empty gun they will notice the "click" when you need to shoot them and grab their gun. Some guards aren't very easy to get around the front of. For these, I like to walk "through" them, making them step backwards and you can now move in front of them. Also, if you can't remember if you got a Dog Tag from a certain guard, take your Scope, Camera or Digital Camera. Look at the guard and press Triangle, and if you have his Tag, his/her name will appear above the guard. If the date on the tag is the same as the date on your Playstation 2, you'll get a Happy Birthday!! message. --------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------3. DOG TAG GUIDE ON TANKER EPISODE------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Right now to the nitty gritty, the location of every dog tag, the name on the tag, their date of birth, and blood type. On some, I'll give extra info about how to get the tag. There are 394 Dog Tags in the PAL version, split over the Tanker and Plant levels and on different difficulties. By the way, the Date of Births are set out UK fashion, so that's day then month. The information will be set out in the following way: Name - Date of Birth - Blood Type - Location - (Note Number - See below) The notes will be given below each difficulty list with number allocations. -----------------------------3.1 VERY EASY--------------------------- 24 Tags Olga Gurlukovich - 23/9 - A - Navigational Deck, Wing - (1) Ross E Bowman - 16/6 - B - Aft Deck Abraham Carrillo - 4/7 - ? - Aft Deck Kaissar Ag Agnouche - 20/1 - O - Aft Deck Arnaud Delaunay - 30/4 - O - Navigational Deck, Wing - (2) Ryoji Makimura - 6/12 - B - Deck A, crew's quarters Kumi Sato - 13/5 - B - Deck B, crew's quarters Kevin S Purvis - 14/11 - B - Deck A, crew's lounge Yasuhiro Miyamoto - 25/2 - AB - Deck A, crew's lounge Michael C Anthony - 7/3 - O - Deck A, crew's lounge Carlos Garci Garcie - 30/2 - A - Deck D, crew's quarters Mineshi Kimura - 18/06 - AB - Deck D, crew's quarters - (3) Jonathan Hancock - 28/2 - AB - Deck 2, port Bryn T Kershaw - 4/3 - O - Deck 2, port Michael Hurkmans - 5/12 - B - Deck 2, port Ken Ogasawara - 30/6 - B - Engine Room Petro Kyrylenko - 18/2 - ? - Engine Room Aaron F Kopt - 24/6 - AB - Engine Room James P Fitzgibbons - 13/5 - ? - Engine Room Alexander Strigi - 3/4 - A - Engine Room - (4) Dave Cox - 3/8 - O - Hold No.1 - (5) Cory A Noll - 6/4 - AB - Hold No.1 - (6) Andreas Ebeler - 23/3 - AB - Hold No.3 - (7) Gary J Davidson - 12/7 - O - Hold No.3 - (8) (1) Pick Olga up and drop her to make the tag fall off (2) After defeating Olga, go right, past the stairs leading up to the Radar Mast.

AFTER GETTING ALL DOG TAGS------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- After getting all 394 Dog Tags, you will get a Clear Code, like when you complete an episode. Go to www.konamijpn.com/mgs2/alldogtags and input the clear code and you will be rewarded with wallpapers, icons, sounds etc to download for your PC. --------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------6. SPECIAL ITEMS------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- By obtaining a certain number of Dog Tags, you can get special items. When you complete an episode (Tanker, Plant or both) you can save your game and continue with the Dog Tag you have collected on that difficulty. Eg: If you got 20 Dog Tags on the Easy difficulty of the Tanker episode, then saved at the end and continued the Tanker episode on Easy difficulty again, you would still have the 20 tags in your equipment and the tags left on guards would only be the ones you have missed. The items effects will only happened when the item is equipped. To get the special items, you must have got the right number of tags (which will have to come from more than one difficulty, as for Stealth on the Tanker you can't get 78 tags from one difficulty). On the Tanker episode: Bandana (infinite ammo) - 46 Tags Stealth (invisible to enemies) - 78 Tags On the Plant episode: Infinity Wig (gives infinite ammo) - 73 Tags Stealth (invisible to enemies) - 121 Tags Wig B (gives infinite grip) - 170 Tags Wig A (gives infinite o2) - 218 Tags --------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------7.
