Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 Part 18 walkthrough covering the Power Station, Confinement Facility, Vista Mansion, and Research Lab.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Crawl past rebels and PMCs to leave the Village and approach the Power Station.
  2. 2
    Head down the path, past rebels, and crawl north. Look up to find and eliminate two PMC snipers.
  3. 3
    Continue north to the main battle area. Head east, past a large rock and log, and up a hill leading back to Cove Village.
  4. 4
    Pick up the ration near debris and crawl back down to the eastern side of the power station.
  5. 5
    Eliminate threats attacking from this side before entering the inner compound through the gate between the brick wall and chain link fence.
  6. 6
    Take out the two PMCs inside and enter the computer room to find C4 and a ration under the table.
  7. 7
    Wait for rebels to destroy the control panel (appears white on the HUD (Heads-Up Display) with night vision) or destroy it yourself.
  8. 8
    After the battle, head northwest towards the tank to meet Drebin.
  9. 9
    When Drebin leaves, if you destroyed the control panel, the rebels win. Loot previous areas for missed items.
  10. 10
    Take the southern of the northwest paths from the power station exits to find instant noodles, the XM8, and the Javelin.
  11. 11
    Continue towards the checkpoint (an auto-save point you restart from on death) and take the northwest route at the fork to reach the Confinement Facility.
  12. 12
    Stay on the rock formation, off the road, to avoid tanks engaging rebels.
  13. 13
    Take out a PMC hiding on the path with CQC (Close Quarters Combat) before he can sound an alert.
  14. 14
    Follow the rock path north to a small encampment with soldiers and two captured rebel POWs (Prisoners of War).
  15. 15
    Eliminate the guarding PMCs, including the sniper in the watchtower, to rescue the POWs. Reserve the soldier guarding the POWs for last, using CQC.
  16. 16
    Check under the main building for items and inside for the VSS (a silenced sniper rifle) before heading through the mineshaft in the northeast corner.
  17. 17
    Head east from the Confinement Facility towards Vista Mansion, hugging the rock wall to bypass the blocked gate.
  18. 18
    Ignore the firefight below and head to the street. As you approach the gate, a rebel bulldozer will crash through it.
  19. 19
    Focus on staying alive while the rebels work; the destruction of the gate signifies the rebels winning the battle in the Confinement Facility, allowing you to return for weapons like the FIM-92A, chaff grenades, M870 Custom, instant noodles, ammo, and an iPod song.
  20. 20
    Enter Vista Mansion through the destroyed gate and follow the east wall behind tents to storage crates in the northeast corner.
  21. 21
    Slip between the wall and crates for an iPod song.
  22. 22
    Head for the stairs in the rear entrance of the mansion.
  23. 23
    Go through the door on the right, follow the hallway west to a staircase.
  24. 24
    Lay low near potted plants and wait for two soldiers to leave the room.
  25. 25
    Climb the stairs and leave the bedroom through the east door, partially concealed by shadows.
  26. 26
    Check the northern end of the building for ammo before jumping down through the skylight.
  27. 27
    Follow the underground tunnel to a ladder leading to Naomi's research lab.
  28. 28
    In the Research Lab, run south and hide under the bed in the other room to avoid being spotted by Haven Troopers.
  29. 29
    Knock out the two Troopers with shots from the Mk.2 quickly.
  30. 30
    When they are unconscious, two more Troopers will appear in the doorway to the right of the bed; be ready to blast them.
  31. 31
    Four more Troopers appear in teams of two from the east room; repeat the strategy to knock them out.
Tips
  • Use the minimap (a small map displayed on the HUD) to track enemy positions.
  • Conserve ammo by using CQC (Close Quarters Combat) for non-lethal takedowns when possible.
  • The control panel in the Power Station's main room is a key objective to speed up the rebel victory.
  • If you miss items in earlier areas after battles conclude, you can return to loot them as the rebels will control the areas.
  • The VSS is a powerful silenced sniper rifle found in the Confinement Facility.
  • In the Research Lab, quick reactions are crucial to neutralize the Haven Troopers before they can raise an alert.
