1. The Blast Furnace & Molten Metal Ledge
Enter through warehouse door NA-1 to access the facility's roaring Blast Furnace:
Catwalk Above the Smelter- Lower Sentry: Use the PSG-1 sniper rifle to drop the soldier patrolling the lower walkway before he raises an alarm.
- Molten Metal Ledge: Press your back against the western wall to shimmy across the narrow catwalk ledge over the vat of bubbling molten steel.
- Swinging Crane: A motorized crane sweeps back and forth. Duck down as it approaches to let it pass safely overhead, or fire a single Nikita missile to blow it off its tracks.
Pick off the guard on the far landing with the PSG-1, then enter the boiler control room: crawl through the low western vent to discover a secret cache containing Body Armor and Stinger missiles.

2. Cargo Elevators & Descent Ambush
Make your way to the heavy freight elevator platform to descend toward the underground base:
- First Elevator Ambush: During the descent, three heavily armed Genome Soldiers rappel onto the platform. Circle the elevator perimeter while firing continuous FA-MAS rifle bursts.
- Exiting the elevator, equip Thermal Goggles to navigate around concealed landmines in the corridor.
- Step onto the second freight elevator: a murder of crows circles overhead in the darkness as Campbell radios in, revealing that Dr. Naomi Hunter has been placed under arrest by the Pentagon on suspicion of treason and espionage.

3. Boss Battle: Vulcan Raven
You arrive in a massive sub-zero refrigerated storage warehouse. At the far end, the giant shaman Vulcan Raven steps out, hefting a 20mm rotary aircraft autocannon.
Frozen Rations HazardThe warehouse's extreme freezing temperatures will freeze your stored field rations if you linger too long, preventing them from being consumed for health.
Vulcan Raven
Boss · HardFOXHOUND Shaman Commander.
Strategy- Weak against: Rear attacks using the Stinger missile launcher, Claymore mines, and C-4.
- NEVER step in front of his rotary autocannon: his 20mm rounds will tear Snake to ribbons in two seconds.
- Constantly track the Soliton Radar to anticipate his patrol routes between the shipping crates.
- Plant Claymore mines or C-4 blocks at corridor intersections along his path.
- Exploit his slow turning speed to circle behind him, firing Stinger missiles into his back. In his final phase he speeds up: keep distance and finish him off with guided Stinger rockets.
Defeated, Raven surrenders the Level 7 Keycard and reveals that the Donald Anderson who died earlier was actually disguise specialist Decoy Octopus, before raven flocks consume his body.
