    1. The Torture Rack & Branching Endings

    Snake awakens strapped to an electric shock table facing Revolver Ocelot and Liquid Snake:

    Pivotal Choice: Endure or Submit to the Torture?

    Story Branch
    Endure the Torture (Mash Circle Rapidly)
    Meryl survives the story's climax. Unlocks the GOOD ENDING and rewards Snake with the Infinite Ammo Bandana for New Game+.
    Submit / Surrender (Press the Select Button)
    Snake gives up and Meryl dies in the REX hangar. Unlocks OTACON'S ENDING and rewards Snake with Stealth Camouflage (Invisibility) for New Game+.
    Circle Button Mashing Difficulty

    If you choose to resist, you must mash the Circle button with intense speed to prevent your health meter from emptying completely, which results in a fatal Game Over.

    2. The Cell & Otacon's Covert Delivery

    Following the initial torture round, Snake is tossed into a holding cell:

    • Inspect the corner: find the rotting corpse of the real Donald Anderson (the man who died earlier was the disguise master Decoy Octopus).
    • Codec with Naomi and Campbell regarding genetic cloning and Les Enfants Terribles.
    • When sentry Johnny Sasaki dashes to the latrine with severe stomach cramps, Otacon appears in optical camouflage to deliver: - A bottle of Ketchup. - Sniper Wolf's Perfumed Handkerchief (makes wolf-dogs friendly). - A combat ration. - The Level 6 Keycard.

    3. Escape Plans & The Bomb Trap

    Choose one of three methods to break out before the guard returns:

    Breakout Techniques
    • Method 1 (Ketchup Trick): Lie prone on the floor and use the Ketchup bottle to simulate a pool of blood. When the panicked guard unlocks the door to check on you, stand up and knock him out.
    • Method 2 (Under the Bed): Crawl under the cot. When the guard enters the cell in shock finding it empty, emerge and neutralize him.
    • Method 3 (Ninja Rescue): If you are caught or hesitate too long, after another torture session the Cyborg Ninja will slice open the cell door.
    Beware the Time Bomb in Your Gear!

    Step into the adjoining torture room and open the box containing your belongings. Ocelot has planted a live Time Bomb inside. Open your inventory screen immediately, select the bomb, and toss it away before the countdown expires.

    Before heading to the towers, backtrack to Hangar Basement B2: collect Cold Medicine (if Snake is sneezing and alerting guards) and the Body Armor behind the Level 6 door.
