Can You Beat Metal Gear Solid Without Taking Any Steps?

#CanYouBeat #MetalGearSolid #MGS1
I tried this challenge one year ago and it was a failure, but a lot can change in a year. The fact that a skip was discovered exactly at the part where this challenge ended last time is just perfect, so I had to try it again. This video is a lot more complete as a result, glad to have this monkey off my back!

Thanks for watching!

Napoleon once said "an army is a creature that moves on its stomach." Snake being a one man army, he proves this statement correct.

[Carnage]

"You belong on the ground. You should crawl on the ground like the snake you are!"

Vulcan couldn't have been more true here.

A giant, highly advanced war mech, equipped with the latest weaponry and electronic warfare systems available was utterly beaten. By a man slightly leaning to the side.

[Kilonak]

"If you could just move 3 meters to the left now please."
"Sorry, how much is that in punches?"

Mantis can also be beaten if you break his statues before the battle and this disables his psychic ability without changing to port 2. Awesome run.

Regardless if you think the boiler room ends the run, I think its incredible that that's the only part where its questionable and everything else is 100% possible. Well done man.

Thanks for that. My Sneaking suit is now completely ruined!

"The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."

This dude: Hold my beer.

"what the hell?!"
Yeah I'd be creeped out too if the prisoner got his legs cut off by the door.

[Rhomagus]

Funnily enough, this actual gives a lore reason for David's codename. Him crawling around everywhere on an infiltration mission makes him very much like a 'Snake'.

When I first played this game, being able to crawl under vehicles was next gen moment.

I'd say the shuffling along the ledge in the furnace room does not violate the spirit of the challenge. A challenge run should not make finishing the game impossible, merely add additional challenges to the game. I'd go so far as to say that simply pushing the directional button should have sufficed. There is no point to an impossible challenge run, aside from seeing how far you can get before the run dies, and that may be fun to some.

23:34 (After several hours of crawling) "we're not about to crawl after a rat, so *we blow it up with a missile instead* "

I love the internet

I made SO MANY mistakes on my first passthrough of MGS. You're gonna laugh and it's okay.
1. I did the electric torture 5-6x before realizing I needed to use the ketchup or hide under the bed to draw the guards attention.
2. Did the Sniper Fox fights WITHOUT Diazepam.
3. Fought Metal Gear WITHOUT using chaff grenades to mess up it's radar.
Easily added a hour of unnecessary difficulty to the game. But damn was it rewarding.

23 years later and this game is still relevant and seen as a challenge that gamers can reinterpret. Very well done matey.

[Amnesia]

"The guards may be fitted with layers of protection against bullets, but they still need to breath" is an oddly menacing statement.

[Hautest]

Good job mate :) can’t wait to do this as a speedrun and beat it in a single segment

[sshemeikka]

I've played through the game countless times and I had never before seen the crane get destroyed or heard of a rat eating the PAL key. Great video!

-Colonel Campbell: Your codename is Solid Snake
-David: Gotcha!

NGPlus: *scootches on a ledge*

Me: That seems like a step, *DO IT ALL AGAIN*
