Once Snake defeats the Cyborg Ninja, Otacon tells Snake that he will use camouflage to procure information and supplies for him. Snake locates Otacon, but is then met by the Cyborg Ninja, and ends up in a fight with him. Solid Snake has a confrontation with Vulcan Raven, and after the fight, Snake travels onward to meet up with Meryl on the condition that he speaks with Dr. With the fight over, Snake talks to Baker in an attempt to retrieve the detonation code from him, but Baker dies from coming into contact with Snake and the FOXDIE virus. But near the end of the fight, Cyborg Ninja (who is actually Gray Fox, but was transformed into a cybernetic ninja) comes out of nowhere and cuts off Ocelot’s hand. Revolver Ocelot shows up to challenge Snake to a gunfight. With the batch of soldiers taken out by Snake and Meryl, Snake then locates Kenneth Baker in an attempt to retrieve the detonation override code for Metal Gear Rex from him. Then while in mid-sentence, “Anderson” suffers a heart attack and dies right in front of Snake (because of Decoy Octopus being a member of FOXHOUND).Īfter Snake leaves the cell, Meryl Silverburgh assists in an attempt to flee from an onslaught of gunfire from soldiers who were alerted to Snake’s presence. While watching her working out for a minute, Snake ventures on to locate the cell of “Donald Anderson,” and the supposed DARPA Chief informs Snake about Metal Gear REX, and how he can prevent it from launching nukes by using a detonation override code. While on the way to “Donald Anderson’s” cell, Snake finds a young woman being held captive in the facility who turns out to be Meryl Silverburgh, Campbell’s daughter. Tasked with rescuing the DARPA Chief Donald Anderson, who was actually killed during torture and was impersonated by Decoy Octopus (member of the Sons of Big Boss), and Kenneth Baker, the president of ArmsTech, Snake ventures into the compound. Snake eventually finds out that he is the carrier of the FOXDIE virus, and he is subsequently wiping out the Sons of Big Boss on Shadow Moses Island, which enrages him. The FOXDIE virus is an interesting virus because it only attacks certain individuals that it has been programmed to kill after the virus recognizes the individual’s DNA and nanomachines, it then causes cardiac arrest in them. Solid Snake’s involvement with the mission was a well-orchestrated plot by the US government, since they deceived Snake into being a carrier of the virus known as FOXDIE with an injection they gave him before he was deployed to Shadow Moses Island. The renegade members were being commanded by Solid Snake’s brother, Liquid Snake, and they demanded that the remains of Big Boss be handed over to them so they could correct the genetic mutations in the Genome Soldiers (essentially the Next-Generation Special Forces soldiers), or else they were launch a nuclear attack from the new Metal Gear REX. The mission at hand was located on Shadow Moses Island, where renegade members of FOXHOUND dubbed the “ Sons of Big Boss” were leading a rebellion. The reasoning behind the ambush was to propel Snake back into action once more. In February of 2005, Solid Snake was ambushed at his retirement home in Twin Lakes, Alaska, by armed soldiers and his former commanding officer, Colonel Roy Campbell. From the end of Operation Intrude F014 in 1999 to 2005, Snake had become a heavy drinker, often trying to drown his suppressed memories of his previous missions, as well as the fact that he had killed his father in a vicious fight to the death. ![]() The Shadow Moses Incident (2005)Īfter the completion of Solid Snake’s Operation Intrude F014 mission in Zanzibar Land, he disappeared into the Alaskan wilderness in an attempt to retire from the battlefield altogether. No game in the series has affected me as much as Metal Gear Solid though - my favorite game in the series - with its beautifully written characters and strong sense of emotion. I can’t help it… Hideo Kojima has crafted such a powerful series of games that I’ve become completely hooked on all of the plot twists (and there are a lot) that occur. No, I’m not an overly emotional gamer, but when it comes to the Metal Gear franchise, I am a blubbering fool. To think that I’m going to be talking about Solid Snake’s last few missions chokes me up a little. The time has come to finish off this three-week Metal Gear romp though, so let’s get to it!Ĭhapter 5.5: No, Really… Do You Read Me, Snake?! It has been an absolute blast reminiscing about the Metal Gear franchise as a whole, and I cannot wait to do a multi-part RETROspect again in the near future. This week in Character RETROspect we’ll be looking at Solid Snake’s last few missions, and we’ll be starting with the Shadow Moses Incident. Character RETROspect Solid Snake (Part 2)
