Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. "Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater" Which of these actions will not result in a time paradox?

Answer: Killing The End before the anticipated battle with him

There is a brief scene after the battle with The Pain showing The End being wheeled outside of a warehouse to a dock. After the scene ends, he is still in view for a moment before being taken back inside. If the player went ahead and found a sniper rifle before this scene, one can shoot The End from a distance, averting the battle with him later on.

In the HD remake, this results in a trophy/achievement for PS3/Xbox 360.
2. "Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater" Which camo has a bonus effect of doubling the rate at which health regenerates?

Answer: DPM

The DPM was originally a purchasable download for the "Subsistence" update of "Metal Gear Solid 3", a sort of director's cut. In the HD remaster, it is now a default part of Snake's wardrobe.
3. "Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater" There are several ways to confuse or otherwise hamper Volgin during the first battle with him. Which of these is not one?

Answer: Shooting Ocelot on the catwalk

One is able to shoot Ocelot, however this harms the player rather than helping. Ocelot may shoot back, or if he is killed, it results in an instant game over, due to a time paradox. Wearing the mask will cause Volgin to hesitate for a few moments, but he will eventually attack even more ferociously. Wearing the Cold War camo and showing him the side with the USSR flag will stall him in a similar manner.

The mushroom will draw in his lightning based attacks.
4. "Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops" In the beginning part of the game, Snake and his men are afflicted with what disease?

Answer: Malaria

As a result, an early game mission is to head to the hospital area to find medicine. There are also many good bonuses in this area, such as high skill medical staff to recruit, and very commonly placed claymore mines to retrieve.
5. "Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops" Which area is unlocked directly after defeating Python?

Answer: The airport

The immediate objective after the mission involving Python is to interrogate an official at the airport. Curiously, the mission ends directly after interrogating him, presumably with Snake just walking away.
6. "Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops" "Snake! Look out!" Who said this?

Answer: Jonathan

After defeating Metal Gear RAXA, there is a dramatic scene where Gene causes mass hysteria among Snake's soldiers using his psychic abilities. He manages to push the soldiers into a full panic, all massacring each other. Jonathan, the first soldier Snake recruited in the San Hieronymo Peninsula, takes a bullet for Snake, dying in the process. Snake mourns his death by shouting in rage to the sky.
7. "Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker" What is the technical name of The Boss AI, commonly called the Mammal Pod?

Answer: BS-Imago

All of the AI pods, save for BS-Imago, are named after the initials of one of America's four founding fathers and the name of the weapon to which it is attached. The "BS" is most likely short for "Boss", and "imago" is the final stage of an insect's development, both relating to the butterfly motif of Peace Walker and the fact that BS-Imago is the ultimate result of Strangelove's AI experiments.
8. "Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker" Snake and Kaz hold an argument over the existence of whom?

Answer: Santa Claus

Humorously, Snake still holds onto a genuine belief of Santa Claus by his late 30's, and cites the "NORAD Tracks Santa" program as proof of his existence, though he acknowledges there is no direct proof. This is not the only supernatural belief Snake holds though, as he does have a phobia of vampires.
9. "Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker" Customizing Metal Gear ZEKE with Peace Walker's legs will allow it to use what weapon?

Answer: S-mines

By defeating the optional boss battle against Peace Walker Mk II without damaging its legs, there is a small chance that they may be retrieved and used for ZEKE. Unlike Peace Walker's S-mines, which fly upward, then rain down, ZEKE's will fly out to the side, then shoot at the player horizontally.
10. "Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes" What is the exact date of the main story of this game?

Answer: March 16, 1975

This is shown in the menu of the game, in which there is an option to remind the player of the events of "Peace Walker", then inform them of what went on between then and "Ground Zeroes". This is the date that the UN is ostensibly investigating Mother Base for nuclear weapons.
11. "Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes" There are three types of handguns in "Ground Zeroes" - a tranquilizer, a standard pistol, and a sub-machine gun.

Answer: True

Big Boss starts the game with the tranquilizer gun equipped, while the standard pistol and the sub-machine gun are found in armories around the area. When carrying prisoners or unconscious/dead soldiers, Big Boss is forced to equip whichever of these weapons is possessed.
12. "Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes" Which of Chico's cassette tapes documents his first days as a prisoner in Camp Omega?

Answer: Tape 2

There are 7 of Chico's cassette tapes in total to be found around the area, one of which is given upon rescuing him. All of them are his recordings of his failed mission to rescue Paz all the way up to his rescue.
13. "Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain" After recovering from a nine year long coma, what does Big Boss find out about his health?

Answer: He has lost a limb

Big Boss opens his eye for the first time in nine years to see a hook over where his left hand once was, lost as a result of a helicopter crash at the end of "Ground Zeroes". It is eventually replaced by a robotic arm similar to one used by Zadornov in "Peace Walker".
14. "Metal Gear" Solid Snake's mission is to infiltrate Outer Heaven, a base in a fictional location of Africa, and do what?

Answer: Rescue Grey Fox

Outer Heaven is a jungle fortress in Galzburg, South Africa. Foxhound agent Grey Fox was sent to investigate reports of a Metal Gear being developed, but he was captured by the mercenary nation. Days later, the rookie Solid Snake was sent to rescue Fox, and then took up the mission of investigating Metal Gear.
15. "Metal Gear" To quickly get around Outer Heaven, Snake must enter a truck, then equip a cardboard box.

Answer: False

The only purpose of the box in "Metal Gear" is to avoid being seen by cameras. One may simply walk into a truck to be transported around. There are four in total, which go in a set route around the base.
16. "Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake" Who does Solid Snake fight on the 30th floor of the tower?

Answer: Red Blaster

Red Blaster was a Russian mercenary hired by Big Boss in Zanzibar Land. His method of fighting involves trapping his targets and bombarding them with grenades. To defeat him, Snake must break through the wires holding him in small, boxed in areas, then throw grenades of his own at Red Blaster.
17. "Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes" Which of these weapons has absolutely no use in the battle with Grey Fox?

Answer: Socom

Trying to shoot Fox with any weapons will only result in him blocking them with his sword, however hand to hand combat will work. Equipping the FAMAS will replace Snake's punches with using the butt of the gun, which does slightly more damage. When equipping the Nikita, Snake will slam the missile launcher into him, dealing a large amount of damage. Chaff grenades will disrupt Fox's cybernetic suit, freezing him momentarily. Equipping the socom while attacking will change nothing.
18. "Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes" Which of these games will Psycho Mantis not read off the player's Gamecube memory card?

Answer: "Luigi's Mansion"

Due to the remake being on Gamecube rather than the Playstation, Mantis now has a whole plethora of new games to read. However, he will only read four - "Super Mario Sunshine", "Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem", "The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker" and "Super Smash Bros Melee".
19. "Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes" During the first fight with Metal Gear REX, which of these areas cannot be targeted by the stinger?

Answer: Its legs

The purpose of the first battle is to use the stinger to shoot the radome, which will force Liquid to open the cockpit so he may be directly attacked. Shooting other areas will stun REX for a few seconds, though hardly enough to focus on another target and fire.
20. "Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty" What is the name of the tanker in the first chapter?

Answer: USS Discovery

The same name was used for the submarine seen in the intro of "The Twin Snakes", though it is unknown why. The Discovery is housing Metal Gear RAY, hidden in the lower holds.
21. "Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty" How many dog tags must be collected, across any difficulty level, to unlock Wig B for Raiden in the Plant Chapter?

Answer: 170

170 dog tags is approximately 70% of the dog tags in the Plant Chapter. Wig B is orange, and equipping it will allow Raiden to infinitely hang onto edges, keeping the grip gauge at a maximum.
22. "Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots" A field of mist is seen when contacting whom by codec?

Answer: Raiden

The mist is used to emphasize the mysteriousness of the call when it is first heard, as Raiden's identity, though quickly discovered, is unknown at the time. It might also subtly reference his artificial white blood.
23. "Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots" Laughing Octopus's weapons are based on those of Dead Cell member Fortune.

Answer: False

It is actually Crying Wolf who takes Fortune's rail gun. Laughing Octopus actually takes the armament of Solidus Snake, who used a P-90 sub-machine gun and tentacle-like "snake arms".
24. "Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots" Complete this quote - "The spirit of the ______ will always be with you."

Answer: Warrior

This is spoken by The Sorrow, after banishing the spirit of Psycho Mantis back to the afterlife. The audio is actually directly lifted from "Metal Gear Solid 3".
25. "Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance" Which weapon offers the benefit of longer reach, at the penalty of being 10% slower than the default weapon?

Answer: HF Long Sword

The HF Long Sword is arguably not worth using, due to its slow swinging speed and high rate of energy consumption, combined with the low rate of energy restoration. It is obtained by getting the top score in all VR missions.
