How many dog tags are you supposed to get in very easy mode?

I'm very very close now to finishing it on Extreme.

I'd better have collected all the dog tags (think I have) because I don't wanna have to go through on Extreme again. :-D

I'm at the bit just before the Ray fight. The part where you team up with snake and kill about a thousand soldiers. Snake drops you rations (which is lucky because without rations it would be impossible) but he doesn't use any himself. And he doesn't hold back and kill from a distance either. He just runs up to a soldier and then pumps him full of bullets. Then moves onto the next. Thing is, he always takes a few bullets himself as he is running.

I think I was quite close to doing it once (depending on how many men there are at the end of course - and this is only the first room!) but I accidentally fired a grenade into Snake's face!

I was in first person view, aiming my grenade launcher when I saw someone right next to me. Thinking it was a bad guy, I fired. It wasn't a bad guy however, it was Snake. Took away most of his hits. When he was on the floor, the soldiers finished him off. DAMMIT!!

I think I'll go check if I've got all the dog tags.

And by the way, it is Hideo Kojima you get off Snake in the Ascending Colon.

Thanks guys! I`ll write that down and give it a go later. I don`t think I`ll be able to finish the game on Extreme. I`m fine with guards and sneaking around, but when it comes to bosses or shooting bits, I never last very long.

Hold 3, its a gaurd in the middle at the front.

Hold 1, its a guy in the middle but in the second row, but a lot of those surrounding him to sleep, then make some noise!

Errrr......*blushes*......actually.....I haven't completed it on Extreme. :-D I can't remember where I heard that Kojima thing but I'm sure it's true.

However, hold that applause! It shouldn't be much longer now. I am on Vamp and he shouldn't be too much trouble. After which, I think it is just the bit where you team up with Snake that might be tricky. Solidus is always easy and I'm hoping the Rays won't cause too much trouble. Mind you, I said that about the Harrier. :-D

Anyway, here is how to defeat Olga and get the last tags in the holds. When you start on Olga, duck down and there is a hole beneath some of the crates. Get to a postition where you can see her foot when she stands by the locker type thing on the left. Now as soon as you see her leg, shoot her. She will run to the right, but then run straight back. Shoot her leg again, and she will do the same. She will then get stuck in the same continuous cycle and as long as you don't miss a shot then you'll be alright.

As for the last dog tags, when you enter Hold 1, go down the first ladder. Before you go down the second one, jump over the railing and shuffle across to the far end (you'll need full hits or level 2 grip to make it). When you get to the end, flip over and there will be a guard. He has the first dog tag. Then use the door to enter Hold 2. Once in Hold 2, jump over the railing again and shuffle across to the far end just like before. There is no guard here so go through the door to Hold 3. As soon as you enter Hold 3, there is a guard facing the opposite direction. He has the second dog tag.

This one`s got me as well. I keep missing several tags in the holds. I get the stray guards, but it seems you have to take some down from the main pack... could take a while to figure out which one. I held up a few at the back, but no luck.

This is great stuff this. Thank you everyone for your help so far. I am asuming that the dog tags that are in the Holds are on the Marines.

Do you know that from a guide or from doing it yourself? If you did it yourself, then round of applause for Vottanator! Superb stuff! I can`t make it past Olga :D The guards aren`t a problem, but the bosses completely obliterate me (two shots is all it takes, and I rarely seem to be able to dodge for long!).

Extreme is Hideo Kojima. You can't get Solidus I don't think.

I can't imagine why you would be able to either. It's understandable why he might have Meryl's, Liquid's, Iriquois's and his own but he couldn't have Solidus's.

I know he couldn't have Kojima's either but that's besides the point! :-D
