Navigate the Open Canyon area in Metal Gear, avoiding mines with the mine detector or thermal goggles.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Run forward a few steps into the Open Canyon area.
  2. 2
    You will be contacted by a new person on the Codec (communication device) named Deep Throat, who informs you about approaching threats.
  3. 3
    Deep Throat will warn you about mines in the area.
  4. 4
    Equip either the Thermal goggles or the mine detector.
  5. 5
    The Thermal goggles allow you to see the exact location of the mines, but not which side they are facing, making them more dangerous.
  6. 6
    The mine detector shows which sides the mines are facing and where to pass them by, but only on the radar (a display showing your surroundings).
  7. 7
    Equip one of these items and proceed through the area.
Tips
  • A good tip is to pass from the very left or right side of the canyon.
  • The mine detector provides more information on the radar about mine orientation than the thermal goggles.
