What a thrill

Also, regarding the leeches, you can use bug spray to prevent them from attaching. It's actually a reference to the vietnam war era bug spray, the soldiers never used it for bugs (since it was close to useless), they used it to kill leaches.

14:53 Little known trick, the Moss camo stamina regeneration is purely based off of light, so you can hold a lit torch an regain all of your stamina anytime. If anyone else wanted to attempt this, the investment of fighting The End is worth it, if you can sneak behind with a growling stomach

"He may be naked snake, but he sure as hell becoming solid" I want this exact statement on a shirt.

Everyone at HQ: So Snake. How does it taste? Snake:It doesn't 😭

That food mechanic was amazing. Your food would spoil in real time. Also, if you ate something poisonous enough, it would lose it effect. If you ate something too much, it would lose its effectiveness. Also, if you eat something you don't like, you will end up liking it a little more. Your stamina will reflect that.

There IS a way to deplete your stamina manually if you want to go for a No Stamina Run whenever the game forcibly restores it for you. If you go into the survival viewer and press R to view Snake and spin him about 10-20 times with the right stick, he ends up throwing up, causing him to waste a lot of it

dude, me and my dad have been watching that 4 hour metal gear video and it’s so fun to hear him talk about what he remembers and what he doesn’t, during mgs2 he was like “i remember him, and her, and him too”

Fun fact, the operators of Army's 10th Special Forces, the first unit of the Green Berets, were said to be made up of "snake-eaters, miscreants, and rouges." Kojima probably said that somewhere or something

Snake not eating snakes!? Diabolical

12:40 that bug actually works with any rifle. So, if you find the AK, the XM16E1, or the Stoner 63 before the fight, you can do the same without going to ng+.

There was another technique you could have used to help out in this challenge, technically. The Sorrow's camo not only silences your footsteps, it also allows Snake to drain stamina from enemies by choking them out (resulting in quicker KOs and as mentioned stealing the stamina for yourself) ...but yeah, seeing how the stamina refill you get after the Sorrow fight basically sets you up for the final parts of the game, it's ultimately not that useful for the challenge.

Every Friday is Good Friday with Nerbit

Regarding weapon sway, you can aim with your binoculars (using it as sniper scope) and hold the button for your weapon inventory when you're in your item inventory unequipping them, then hold first person view before you equip your tranq gun and instantly fire as soon as it's equipped. It'll fire exactly where your binoculars were aimed, even over large distances.

*More Metal Gear!* *_More Snake Eater!_* *_More Nerbit quickly becoming my favourite Challenge Tuber!_*

Snake eater without eating? Next he's going to beat the game without being a Metal Gear! Wait a minute... (Glad to see another Metal Gear video ❤)

I for one look forward to more Metal Gear videos in the future. Your 4 hour video was my introduction to the series, before that I just knew a little about Reveangance. I can see why you love the series though, and I can't wait to see what you get up to in these games ❤

The beauty of this is that you can tell the stamina system was finely tuned so that somebody with the full knowledge and skill over the game could do such a run.

Wow just unlocked a memory that I’ve been thinking about like all my life lmao. When I was really little I remember my older brother playing this game and thought it was the coolest thing ever. For some reason I never knew what the game was and always wandered until now. Seeing some gameplay opened my third eye lmao and recognized the area you are in after you escape with no weapon. Actually incredible. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Best challenge channel ever imo truly has never gotten boring to me. Chefs kiss

I loved the "Before the End dies of old age" video but it was a bit sad because I thought that you were gonna go back to the bethesda games forever after that. Very happy to being proved wrong and hope you get to do more challenges of other games you like.

22:27 - I love that during the bike chase sequence you can wear the Cold War camo and face your pursuers and they won't shoot at you.

"He may be naked snake but he's sure as hell becoming solid" I laughed so hard

In the cave I'm pretty sure if you just laid down for the 10 minutes you actually would have recovered some stamina in that time instead of losing it, whenever Snake stops to rest his stamina should slowly recover, unless your deeply wounded I think. I could be wrong about the whole thing but I've been playing a lot of MGS3 lately so I think that's what would happen

"No need to wonder about my sanity, i lost it long ago" welcome to the hive, brother

It would be cool to start doing more metal gear runs

fun fact about the fear: if you take the fake death pill and wait for him to turn around, you can equip the torch(if you found it in the caves) and can sneak up behind him and just hold the torch under him until whichever bar that method takes(i can't remember) finishes off.

My friend. First, what an amazing challenge, well done! It was very obvious you'd kill The End, one tranq dart from him and your run is done. And yeah it was probably easier than you thought because after meeting EVA in the waterfall, you'll probably never ever eat again during the game. Second, for the Fear, you could actually use the AK-47 during the first run to do the exact same thing you said you could do with the Patriot. The AK is found right after the first Ocelot Unit fight after meeting EVA. Third tip: for the Scientists, if you run around with your trusty box, they'll look at you amused but not trigger an alarm. And finally, right after the EVA cutscene behind the waterfall, in the tunnel there are Tree Frogs that you could capture alive (tranq them) and then toss at Volgin. Since they are alive they'll be on thr ground and Volgin will notice them and start attacking them, but you should protect the Tree Frogs since they'll act as lightning rods for you. Hope that helps you in the future!

I get the feeling we're going to be seeing more metal gear runs.

It might be interesting to see something like "Can you beat Snake Eater while Naked?" Since I think the (Naked) Camo gives you really terrible camo for all areas, makes you take more damage and is just all around a hindrance. Of course you *can* do it, but might be something to attempt sometime?

As someone who doesn’t know anything really about allergies I’d assume you can be allergic just to like bee particles, or allergic to the toxin from their stingers or both

I think Nerbit forgot about the Bug Juice item. Applying that will keep leeches and bugs away. You can also ping your sonar to make the bats in the cave leading to The Pain not attack you.

Was hoping you’d do more mgs challenges, your video was what finally pushed me to play through the first 3 after putting it off for ages and I can’t thank you enough for that! Hope you make more of these

Challenge iidea: Can you beat Fallout New Vegas As Snake? Sneak, guns and probably unarmed for tag skills with other skill being medicine, melee weapons and survival. Use silenced weapons for stealth or unarmed for big fights like cqc. Join the NCR and use companions like Boone, Rex and other companions similar to military roles. Use different faction armour to 'infiltrate' other factions.

I guess some days he's not feeding on a Tree Frog.

I'm glad you're continuing to do Metal Gear challenges, I really enjoy your little references in all of the videos, it's like obscure bites of gold

I hope to see more Metal Gear videos in the rotation. Maybe even branch out into other games, if you want of course.

Well I guess getting the moss camo to recover stamina from sunlight would have made the challenge too easy.

absolutely love that nerbit is finally making metal gear content. here's hoping we get a revengeance no hit run soon.

Love your content. I definitely love the added variety

I love your videos nerbit especially your mgs ones there needs to be more mgs challenge content

Metal Gear Solid 3 was my first and favorite game of the series, good to see Nerbit playing it again.

Can you beat Dragon's Dogma without leveling up? Or when you get Starfield can you beat it with only a small craft.

I haven't even played metal gear before, but I'm always thoroughly entertained with the newest nerbit upload . Well done on another banger dude

Love this. Keep up the great content. Subbed.

Idea: "beat Fallout 3 by carrying a knife to a gun fight and viceversa" I mean you have to use a melee weapon to attack enemies using guns and using guns to kill enemies using melee weapons

The Fury is my favorite boss fight also the cutscene changes depending on what you have equipped such as the torch, nightvision goggles, and thermal goggles

This reminds me of things I used to do with games from this era. I never tried anything as painful as this though. Hats off to ya.

I think in your case when Snake got captured, the restoration of a bit of stamina can be explained as Snake getting a chance to rest when he was unconscious, since getting stamina back isn't just through eating, its implied Snake is going to sleep every time he calls Paramedic to save

Looking forward to seeing more MGS challenges!

Love to see that the MGS Fanbase still exists and thrives with awesome challenges like these. Found the stamina bar was pretty easy to manage EXCEPT when in Grozniy Grad. Would have loved to see a bigger prison section, where you actually carefully have to plan your outbreak, similiar to the ketchup trick in MGS1.

Not sure how I've never encountered your channel before considering the amount of MGS content I've been subscribed to since KZfaq started in 2006 lol but subbed 😜

Loving the metal gear content, and I think others are too, keep it up Nerb

Fun fact, a couple of hours ago, I finished MGS: Peace Walker!

It's not often you see Metal Gear Solid challenges like this, I can't wait to see more like this from you!

Your other MGS video actually made me play through all the games for the first time! Just finished MGS4 last night, wha an amazing franchise

I've watched your new vegas videos for a while and this is the first metal gear solid video I've watched and honestly now I want to get the game

Can you beat fallout new Vegas as Jack the Ripper.

I don’t even play MGS and I still love these videos. Came for New Vegas, stayed for Nerbit

I CANT WAIT FOR THE REMAKE, also, never knew your eyes adjust in the cave, im still finding things out about mgs 3 to this day and ive played the game like 200 times

Fun fact: you can shoot the question marks and exclamation points above enemies heads and it will count as a headshot!

You know...I totally forgot it was Friday 😅 I was just then in the middle of rewatching your NV Decoy Octopus run 😂 Have a good Easter man 😊

I knew about the stomach growling! One of my brothers was playing it and Snake's stomach began growling. He thought it was crocodiles, I said it sounded like Snake was hungry. I was right XD Also fun fact: Sokolov didn't actually die. He appears in another game

YAYYYYYYY!!! So happy to see another metal gear video from you.

Beat MGS1-3 on my brothers PlayStation/ps2, never played 4 and finished the story (well as much as Konami finished) of MGS 5… watching your video made me really want a remaster of Snake Eater. It really was the best

Do this on the remake when it comes out

Impressive, very nice. Now let's see Phantom Pain without -kidnapping- recruiting -prisoners of war- willing participants!

My all time favourite game! Thank you for not forgetting about this masterpiece!

Great video and a great question that I’ve also wondered. It’s kinda like how in the metro games, if you played them I’m not sure, but basically the main gameplay loop in all three of the metro games is scavenge, loot, survive. But anyway there’s a gun cleaning mechanic in the game and the game itself tells you if you let the weapon degrade too much it will become totally useless; for example you’d lose all your already scarce supplies(depending on difficulty the items may not be scarce at all. Looking at any of the difficulties besides hardcore sadly, although hardcore is no doubt kinda overkill and not for every one.) long rant but if you haven’t played them yet give them a try, it’s a true hidden gem if you’ve never seen or heard of it before.

12 year old me did this challenge but not on purpose lol

Attempt #3: Nerbit I challenge you to a "Full auto institute pistol only" challenge. Only a basic, unmodded institute pistol (except the full auto mod). It does like 6 damage, and uses laser ammo to boot. Its literally worse then the pipe pistol.

I always look forward to your Friday uploads. Or as I would personally call them, Nerbitday.

I've only ever played V and that was helping my dad, but with what I did know about MGS the moment you said stamina (along with the no eating from the title) I knew your stomach would alert guards, which I assume is the "better at stealth", not constantly telling guards where you are is good for stealth

I never knew I needed this!

Loving the Metal Gear vids

WOO MORE METAL GEAR NERBIT. You got me into it

Nerbit, seeing you post metal gear videos cleanses my soul. Thank you lol

Honestly excited to see more Metal Gear videos. Calling it now, we’re gonna get a “no damage” run soon. Or maybe a kill everyone run for Snake Eater? (I’ve never seen the Sorrow with that in mind)

Good video so far! One fun fact doe with the Fear, you can use an assault rifle you get earlier in the game (like the ak47) to get the nonlethal quick kill on the fear rather than just the patriot. rad video though!

Been trying to think of challenges to recommend and absolutely can't. No idea how you still have fresh videos

This is the kind of MGS content I needed, you're pretty good 👋

I remember playing this on my nth playthrough as as kid, I tried using the fake death pill and resurrection pill and it bypasses the Sorrow fight when you fight him. The attention to detail in this game is really cool.

yessssss another mgs video, you're pretty good!

So happy KZfaq showed me this video definitely going to subscribe to a fellow MGS3 lover!

In The Fear’s boss fight. You actually don’t need to have the Patriot to do the trick you showed. The AK-47 will work all the same. Also, the M-37 shotgun is in the cave before the Pain, which also will break off his bee armor. Faster than a grenade if you’re good at button mashing. P.S. if you equip the cardboard box, you can run right past any scientists you see . They will just stand there and look at you and not cause an alert.

The fact that you say about the cutscenes “I still watch just a few of them because I just can’t help myself” that is the most relatable thing ever. I’ll just do a personal speed run through the game and get distracted watching cutscenes and forget I’m doing a speed run. 😅

I loved this and hope for more MGS videos! I have a crazy, but perhaps fun idea: can you beat MGS1 and Twin Snakes SIMULTANEOUSLY? (Running two emulators or the like, with the same inputs) I have three ideas for Snake Eater: Can you beat Snake Eater without using pistols or CQC? Can you beat Snake Eater using ONLY lethal force? (a bit dark but eh?) Can you beat MGS 3 using only the Naked Camo? (with the exception when you need to disguise yourself as Raikov)

Definitely going to rewatch these MGS videos for when I actually play the games due to me getting the legacy collection versions of the MGS HD collection and MGS4 to make my life easier with all the tricks you showed. And I also had an idea for a spinoff's version of the "Can you beat the entire metal gear saga before the end dies of old age" video, basically you do the same thing, but you play the games you didn't play. (Ie, MGS Ghost Bable on the GBC, Portable Ops, Ac!d 1&2 for the PSP, it's your decision if you want include stuff like the NES games, VR Missions, Portable Ops plus's single player stuff, and Survive, (If Survive even has an ending) though I wouldn't hold it aganist you if you didn't want to play those, and you kinda already played Rising so I don't really see a point in playing it there, that's pretty much all I have to say about that idea so...)

Another great video love the content.

saw the vid's tittle, got reminded of the speedruns and a couple of runs I've made with basically no eating, said "yeah". I'm still gonna watch your video cause I know youtube hates low engagement, but yeah I dont even think its gonna be that hard

You got me into the Metal Gear series and I thank you for that, also Can You Beat MGSV TPP without taking any damage?

Wheeeeew regular Metal Gear videos! ❤

number of mechanics in this game is stunning

Always love to see some new variety challenges. If you want to stick with metal gear then might I suggest “can you beat metal gear by playing call of duty”? No stealth, no silence, only balls to the wall running and fighting people out in the open with loud, lethal weaponry.

What a thrilling adventure of Tactical Espionage Action, featuring protagonist, John Snake-Eater

Nice video Nerbit. With Paul from Mitten Squad facing some issues, you are being the #1 game challenger to what. A worthy sucessor for Paul should the worst come to happen.

Love your challenges dude!

I'm really glad you're here to play these Metal Gear games since I know I never will and I'm pretty sure the only time I ever actually did play one of them was in a demo for the PS1 lol. That being said... Can you beat [Nerbit's favorite MGS game] with no stealth? Can you beat [Same as above] while naked? Can you beat New Vegas as Jeff Bezos? (ONLY use money to win. Use bribery as much as you can, and the Sawed-off shotty coin shot for the rest) Can you beat Skyrim as Dracula?

We can now refer you as "Starving Snake", great video as always.

its actually kind of a chad move that you didnt try to hold up the end, because you could cheese the challenge by restoring stamina in moss camo lol, love the mgs3 vids nerbit please do more!

Instead of sniping the end, you could go to the boss fight, hold him up and get the moss camo. Afterwards, just do the advance one week in the console calendar to not have to fight him. Moss camo would be a god send in this run: good camo % and recovering stamina on the sun would be huge
