Complete walkthrough for Part 26 of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, covering Otacon's office, the electrified floor, and the Crying Wolf boss fight.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After finding ammo, attempt to open the locked door. Otacon will call, suggesting you go to his old office to log in and check base records. He provides the password: 48273.
  2. 2
    Take the elevator to the B2 basement. Otacon has powered it up.
  3. 3
    Head down the main hallway or use the side offices for items. You'll overhear a discussion about destroying the electrified floor's switchboard with a Nikita missile launcher.
  4. 4
    At the end of the offices, pick up an iPod song and crawl under a desk to reach the main hallway.
  5. 5
    Head east to Otacon's office. Enter the password 48273. Incorrect passwords will be corrected by Otacon.
  6. 6
    Enter codes 78925 or 13462 for new iPod songs, and 14893 for 100,000 Drebin Points.
  7. 7
    After the cinematic, return to the first floor. Grab items in the office.
  8. 8
    As you approach the electrified floor, a Gekko will appear.
  9. 9
    Hang back and use the MK.III. Send it under the desk to the switchboard. Activate the current to destroy the Gekko.
  10. 10
    Alternatively, avoid the Gekko by crawling under the desk and waiting for the elevator.
  11. 11
    Return to the warhead room and drop to the first floor. The MK.III will start opening the door, but another Gekko will arrive via the elevator.
  12. 12
    Distract the Gekko to protect the MK.III while the door opens. This can take 3-5 minutes depending on difficulty.
  13. 13
    Distraction Method 1 (C4): Plant C4 charges in the far corner opposite the MK.III. Detonate them when the Gekko approaches the door to draw its attention. Space charges to avoid chain reactions.
  14. 14
    Distraction Method 2 (Machine Gun): If not using C4, go to the southwest corner, find a machine gun, and shoot the Gekko to lure it away. Run circles around the warheads until the timer expires. Shoot it again if it wanders north. Knock its legs away to escape.
  15. 15
    Speed Run Note: If using a completed save file, the rail gun can instantly destroy the Gekko, finishing the area in about seven seconds.
  16. 16
    Proceed to the Snowfield and Communications Tower area. Lie down to regenerate life and psyche. Unequip Solid Eye to recharge its battery. Pick up items on the platform and in the storage shed.
  17. 17
    Jump down to the snowfield to fight Crying Wolf.
  18. 18
    Boss: Crying Wolf
  19. 19
    Find a hiding spot, such as under the truck north of the fallen tree, where a ration is also located.
  20. 20
    Be aware of the blizzard (low visibility), patrolling Haven Troopers (who respawn), and Crying Wolf herself.
