So this is how the first act begins. After the cutscene and a talk with the Otacon you will be able to use OctoCamo. Now you only have to lean on the wall, or lay on the ground, to make your suit imitate it's surface.

Turn back and look at the alley. On your left-hand side there is a body [A]. Approach it. The icon pointing dragging the body would appear, so press the triangle button on the joypad. As usual - some item should be dropped from the body, ammo or ration for example. Sometimes you can drag body twice and each time you would be rewarded with some bonus. Deeper in the alley you should find rations and ammo. After you take it return you starting position and go on. On the left side of the street you can find a bottle [D] and there is a PMC patrol ahead [E]. When you go to pick up the bottle, an armoured car should block the way in the distance.

So - there is and vehicle blocking the way [A]. Take the bottle, cross the street and get inside the room [B]. Inside it you should find a ration and a passage, where you can crawl to get into the other room [D]. There is another ration on the other side, but instead going outside - return.

Wait till your way is clear and once again cross the street. Get inside the room [A]. Keep your guard, because there is an enemy patrol wandering nearby. Hide inside a room [C].

If the patrol get near your location - use OctoCamo. Snake can pretend to be dead, so use it if necessary. In the wardrobe [A] you can find Instant Noodles. Get to the corridor and head towards the opposite direction PMC patrol is going.

Wait till your way is clear and crawl nearby the vehicle [A]. You should notice an entrance to the inside of the destroyed building [B].

Cautiously search the room [A] and the bodies you find inside. Then start to move slowly below the debris [B]. Wait for the soldiers to pass by [C] and keep moving along.

Search the nearby are, but watch out for the patrolling soldier. Go through the hole to progress [A]. Turn right then - you should notice an exit from the ruins [B].

After you abandon the building run across the street into the next zone.

Under the stairway [A] you can find the cardboard box. You can also try to get on the sculpture and press the triangle button a few time to watch a funny cutscene.

Jump of the sculpture. Go to your right [A]. When you get inside check the cabinets and move along [C]. Don't forget to search all of the nooks..

When you get on the streets again you should spot some ruins to your left. You can try to penetrate it. There is a Playboy magazine, which is useful when you want to drag the guards' attention. Cautiously, watching out for the patrols, get to the [B]. Use the ladder to get to the top side [C].

Avoid the guard walking below you and jump down.

Move along avoiding the enemy patrols. When you get to the church ruins - get inside it. You should contact Otacon and get some fine items: Operator pistol, Mk. 2 tranqualizer gun, the Solid Eye and Metal Geara MG Mk. II.

After the cutscene go deeper inside the church and turn left. Wait for the PMC patrol to pass by and take the ammo scattered on the ground. Then - return to the place where you last time talked with Otacon.

Go upstairs using the ladder [A] and find a way above the street. Run on the other side.

Use the Mk. 2 gun and eliminate the guards shooting them in their heads. They will fall asleep immediately. Run around the building and pick up the ammo. Don't forget to search the soldiers. Return to the stone platform and jump down.

Get on the street - there should be lot of shooting. Use the MG and turn it's camo on by pressing the X button. Drive to the three PMC soldiers and press R1 button while holding the L1. You should stun them. Take their weapons and go on, hiding behind the sand bags. There are some rebels, but you don't have to be afraid of them . In the dark are [A] you can find the RPG-7 and you can use it to destroy the armoured vehicle [B].
