This FAQ aims to give you the locations of the monkeys in each stage, along with a walkthrough to get you the highscore. This is also tailored toward the PAL game, covering the additional two levels that were included. I'll also give you a low down on the winnings too. I hope you enjoy using the guide and that it helps you out. - Reyn =============================================================================== --------------------- TABLE OF CONTENTS --------------------- =============================================================================== 1.

VERSION HISTORY ---------------------- =============================================================================== +--------------------------+ | Version 1.0 - 28/03/2005 | +--------------------------+ The first version of the FAQ, with fall walkthroughs and monkey locations for all stages. Expect maps of each stage in the near future! =============================================================================== ------------------------------------ 2. WHAT IS SNAKE VS MONKEY MODE? ------------------------------------ =============================================================================== Snake vs Monkey is a fun minigame where Snake has to capture all the monkeys within an area. First you must stun them with either the Monkey Shaker or Stun Grenades, then capture them before they awaken. There are seven stages which are taken from the game, with the apes being hidden and placed in some tricky spots. You have some other items to aid you, such as the Thermal Goggles, Active Sonar, Directional Microphone and the Digital Camera. You will find these items in different stages and to unlock them so you can use them elsewhere, find them in that stage and finish the stage. Locations of them are- Thermal Goggles - Dawn Of The Apes Active Sonar - Dragnet Of The Apes Directional Microphone - Escape From The Jungle Digital Camera - Gone With The Apes Also note that you only start with the first three of the stages unlocked; completing the game allows you to access the other stages. Although this is mainly a fun side part of the game but you can also net some rewards from it too. Simply completing all the stages nets you the Monkey Mask item, whereas beating the highscores set out for you gets you to Banana camo. Within each stage I had noted a list of all the monkey locations (if you want to simply complete the stages or if you are missing any) as well as a high score walkthrough. This is a walkthrough of monkeys to get in a certain order so you can get the high score and thus unlock the Banana camo. I've tested out many ways and I have found these here to be the best, however I'm doubt if they ARE the best. Email me if you can do better! Here are several tips to help you - - Try not to alarm the apes whenever you can. Although in certain circumstances you cannot avoid it, don't be an idiot and remain stealthy where ever you can. If you do alarm them then the siren on their heads will go red and the alert music will go off. Stun them quickly before they barrage you with attacks or alarm others, but they will go back to caution after a short amount of time. - Use stun grenades for multiple apes. - If you cannot find apes, use the active sonar. - The Thermal Goggles are very helpful in the outside stages. - Play the stage over and over until you get a good order of apes and their patterns. Experiment to see what happens when you take a different route. - Punching or rolling into apes don't stun them. They just make them more angry. At a guess. =============================================================================== ------------- 3. STAGES ------------- =============================================================================== =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 3.01. Escape From The Jungle =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Location - Dremuchij South (first area) Monkeys - 9 Times - 1. 01:20:36 2. 01:20:36 3. 01:50:36 Items - Directional Microphone; just to the left of where you begin ---------------- Monkey Locations ---------------- 1.

South of the tall central moss tree ---------------------- High Score Walkthrough ---------------------- Go left and shoot the lone ape (1) then the one of the log to the left (2). Climb up the log and if you look in first person, a monkey will crawl from the right; shoot and catch (3). Head back over the log and traverse over to the right, taking a detour to the ape on the edge on the right side (4). Begin to head up the western grass hill and shoot and catch the ape as you go (5) as well as the one at the top (6) - hopefully this one won't fall down below and alarm the others; if he does, restart. From the edge here look up and shoot the ape on top of the central tall moss tree (7) as well as one on a lower branch (8). Slide down here and grab them as they land, then shoot the final ape to the south of here (he will be alarmed, but you should have enough time to cap his ass) (9). =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 3.02. Dragnet Of The Apes =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Location - Dremuchij North (first guarded area) Monkeys - 15 Times - 1. 01:45:36 2. 02:15:36 3. 03:00:36 Items - Active Sonar; just to the north east of where you start ---------------- Monkey Locations ---------------- 1.

Head west and take out the ape hanging off the moss tree (1). As he falls quickly stun grenade the three dancing apes (2-4) nearby so you can catch all four at once. Catch the monkey by the log to the south here (5) then head over to the east grassy area. Catch the patrolling ape (6) then the one hiding inside the log (7). Now look to the west, toward the mount and use your weapon to zoom in. You should see the head of a monkey on there. Shoot him (8) then the ape on the tree just on the right (9) then head to the tree where they will both fall at. An ape patrols just north here (10) then head north east to where the exit should be. An ape is by the sign post (11) and another will be located just in front (12) so shoot them both then catch together. Head west now; catch the patrolling ape (13), the one of the rock (14) and the final one in the log just south of here (15). =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 3.03.

Capture the hanging ape (1) then head up the stairs where the next one is lying down (2). Turn round and shoot the alarmed ape on the girder (3) then head straight right and drop down for the catch. Go north to the crates next to the building where an ape is hiding (4). Now head south out of the base grounds to the grassy area, where there are two patrolling apes; one should be right next to where you exit (5) and the other to the south or south east here (6). Now head north to where the group of nine dancing apes are. Chuck in stun grenade into the pack and start capturing; you may need to use another halfway as some could awaken (7-15). North of here is a step, with a doorway on the right and crates to the north. From the step shoot the ape on the crate (16) and then get the other ape patrolling around the crate (17). Enter the doorway and head straight through to the room where Sokolov was being held and make sure you stick to the left side not to alarm the monkey on the window. The ape is by the fireplace (18). Head back and now shoot the window ape and exit via the same way (19). Shoot the monkey to the north that's patrolling (20) then climb that ladder leading to the final ape that's residing on the roof (21). =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 3.04.

Move toward the building, and catch the ape in the trench to the right of the bridge (he will stick his head out) (3) and the ape between the bridge and the building itself (4). Head up the roof via the ladder on the right and capture the ape up here (5). Drop down on the south side (to the left of the door) and chuck a stun grenade in so you can capture all three dancing apes from left to right (6-8). Now quickly look through the right door way and shoot the alarmed ape next door before he runs out (9). If he does then you can get him in just a second, as he is going our way anyway. Exit through that far door and take out the ape lying in front of the shed just above here (10). Head east to Mesel Gear and shoot down the ape standing on the top (11) whom you can catch at the front. Head north in-between the two walls and shoot the patrolling ape (12) then head through the fence. There is an ape on the roof here (13), one patrolling round this building (14) and one in the trees to the right (15). Head to the building in the north east corner where you will find ape number (16) hiding by a crate). The final two are located to the far West, patrolling around the trees (17) and in the north / north west trench (18). Once you have this pattern nailed you should do this with a good 15-20 seconds to spare. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 3.05.

Catch the patrolling ape just north here (3) then enter the doorway at the end into the balcony room 1F. There are apes in the north east corner (4) and patrolling in the room (5). On the floor above is a balcony; shoot the ape that's walking across it and catch him when he drops down (6). The last on here is the ape on the far right by the stairs (7). Head out and now down the corridor. There is an ape patrolling just round the first corner (8) then another at the east end by the two rooms (9). Enter the first of the two rooms where there's an ape on the south wall (10) and another in the far corner (11). Exit and enter the next doorway to the courtyard.

Return Of The Living Apes =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Note that this stage is exclusive to the PAL version of MGS3. Location - Groznyj Grad Weapons Lab: Main Wing (Shagohod area) Monkeys - 10 Times - 1. 02:15:36 2. 02:45:36 3. 03:30:36 Items - N/A ---------------- Monkey Locations ---------------- 1.

On walkway right of the Shagohod *In the high score walkthrough, both move to the ground level of the north west corner. The best way to get ape no. 5 down from the ledge is to set off the alarm by walking in front of the Shagohod. ---------------------- High Score Walkthrough ---------------------- Go up the stairs and shoot the ape at the top (1). Capture him then go left and hand and drop off the walkway to the ground (yes, Snake does break his leg but it won't affect the time). Wonder left a little and shoot the ape that is running around in this open area (2). Head south west then up the stairs to the west area. Capture the ape sitting on the crate (3) then capture him by climbing the said crate. Look to the east and shoot the ape on top of the Shagohod (4) then head up the stairs on the right and you will catch him as you ascend the stairs. Walk in front of the Shagohod to set off an alarm; head back to the top of the stairs and leap off the north side and run onward. Look ahead and you'll get two apes in the far corner; chuck a stun grenade at them then drop down again to their level and do the same again and capture them (5,6). Head right through the lorries to a ramp. Now there are three apes on the ledge to the right here, however sometimes one or two drop down so have your weapon handy in case. Stun grenade the apes on the ledge so they get angry and drop down, so you can capture them (7-9). The last ape is on the walkway next to the Shagohod. Climb onto the nearby platform and chuck a stun grenade up there so he comes down toward you (10). Sometimes he may not do this, so try again if it fails. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 3.07. The Apes Of Wrath =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Note that this stage is exclusive to the PAL version of MGS3. Location - Rokovoj Bereg (The Boss battle) Monkeys - 16 Times - 1. 02:00:36 2. 02:30:36 3. 03:15:36 Items - N/A ---------------- Monkey Locations ---------------- Two things here - use the Thermal Goggles as it makes finding the apes 10 times easier (from stage 3, Dawn Of The Apes) and also the Active Sonar if you lose any. 1.

Head north / north east to the fallen tree with apes all over it. Use a stun grenade and capture the four apes including the one by the tree base which you may miss (4-7). Continue north and capture the patrolling ape (8) and the ape up the tree (9). Go west (a bit of village people there) and capture the ape by the base of the tree (10) then stun grenade the four dancing apes just south of there (11-14). The final two apes are to the south, one is patrolling (15) and the other up a tree (16). As long as you use the thermal goggles here this is a cake walk and could be done in 1:20 easily. If you lose track of any apes then use the Active Sonar to find them again. =============================================================================== -------------- 4. REWARDS -------------- =============================================================================== What? Rewards? Surely not! Although this is a really fun mini game you can unlock two items to use in the main game. They aren't major items or in fact decent ones, but you want everything right? Here's the rundown on what the two rewards are and how to unlock them. ----------- Monkey Mask ----------- What is it - An item, NOT a face paint. Purpose - I'm not sure... I think it can confuse certain bosses and guards however! I'm sure it stays on in cutscenes as well! How to unlock - Complete each stage. ----------------- Banana Camouflage ----------------- What is it - Camouflage Purpose - It makes every item taste good. Not at all good for stealth though. How to unlock - Beat the highscore on each stage. =============================================================================== ------------------------------------ 5.
