A Metal Gear Solid walkthrough detailing how to find extra missiles, retrieve the PAL keycard from the water, cool it in the warehouse, and heat it in the blast furnace.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After the cutscene with Metal Gear, proceed forward, turn right, and go to the upper right of the area to find a ladder. Ignore the stairs leading into the sewer water for now.
  2. 2
    Climb the ladder. You'll receive a call from Otacon before reaching the top.
  3. 3
    In the next area, you can go around the catwalk for items or head north to the next ladder.
  4. 4
    In the third area, go around the catwalk for ammo or take the ladder to the roof of Metal Gear. Cross it and drop to the other side of the catwalk.
  5. 5
    Run across the catwalk, avoiding the guard, to reach a control room. Enter it.
  6. 6
    After the cutscene where Snake realizes Liquid is alive and Ocelot knocks the PAL keycard into the water, guards will be alerted. Ignore them and quickly head back to the ladders.
  7. 7
    Take the ladders to the first floor of the Metal Gear room and descend the stairs into the muddy water to find the PAL keycard. Be aware that your health will slowly decrease while in the water.
  8. 8
    Equip the mine detector (which also functions as a metal detector) to locate the keycard. Look for red blips on your radar. Be cautious not to pick up a bomb; discard it immediately if you do.
  9. 9
    If the metal detector doesn't find the card quickly, Master will call, indicating a rat has swallowed it. Track the moving red blip on your radar to a rat, shoot it when it emerges, and retrieve the card.
  10. 10
    Return to the control room where you saw Liquid and Ocelot. Before entering, use a chaff grenade to disable the two security cameras inside and prevent the room from being gassed.
  11. 11
    Inside the control room, equip the PAL card and use the first of the three computers.
  12. 12
    To cool the key, return to the warehouse where Vulcan Raven was fought. Use a chaff grenade to clear the path and watch out for pits when entering. You can find additional rations and missiles on the sides of the warehouse.
  13. 13
    Un-equip the PAL card and stand in a corner of the warehouse until the card turns blue and its logo changes, indicating it is cool.
  14. 14
    Quickly return to the gun camera room, then to the Metal Gear room, and finally to the control room. Use the cooled card on the middle PC.
  15. 15
    To heat the key, make your way back to the Blast Furnace area. The Vulcan Raven warehouse will now be patrolled by guards.
  16. 16
    When you reach the Blast Furnace, enter the steam room directly south of the cargo elevator entrance.
  17. 17
    In the steam room, find a corner, equip the card, and wait. The card will first return to normal temperature, then turn red with a changed logo, indicating it is heated.
  18. 18
    Keep the card equipped and make your way back to the Metal Gear area. You will receive a long Codec call along the way.
  19. 19
    Near the Metal Gear Control room, save your game. Enter the control panel and use the final card on the final computer.
Tips
  • You can find more rations and missiles on the sides of the Vulcan Raven warehouse.
  • If you waste time with the PAL card, it will revert to its original state, requiring you to cool or heat it again.
  • The cold weather can quickly change the card's temperature, so be quick after heating it.
  • The Vulcan Raven warehouse is patrolled by guards on your way back to the Blast Furnace.
  • Watch out for gun cameras when switching elevators.
