The long ladder in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater is great and all, but here’s how to skip it

A player has discovered a glitch will allow you to skip it

On Tuesday, speedrunner Apel at last figured out how to skip the long ladder climb in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. As Metal Gear fans well and truly know, this is one hell of a climb otherwise, so Apel’s discovery is a public service.

In the exploit, Solid Snake assumes a T-pose after some menu glitching and — presto! — swan dives into the room above the long ladder climb. This clip comes from the HD remake released in 2011 on PlayStation 3.

I don't understand? Your clip is from 2011 so what do you mean a speed runner just figured it out? Or is it as simple as I said and speed runner just used it for the first time in a speed run?

This release of the game is from 2011, the clip is from a few days ago.

*what a thrill*

 

[Dokku]

Solid Snake? C'mon...

 

[Midnight Bliss]

This is videogame character abuse as the T pose is the fencing response for Vidya game characters.

 

[TidusYuna]

*what a thrill*

*with darkness and silence through the night*

 

[Davevil]

Who cares?

 

[Airbus Jr]

This game needs a remake

*what a thriiilll*

 

[GreatnessRD]

This game needs a remake

Konami is too ass cheeks for something like that.

 

[Kamina]

*what a thriiilll*

*I'm searching and I'll melt into you*

 

[Setsuna Mudou]

Solid Snake? C'mon...

Thought the same, but didn't want to be that guy

 

[TidusYuna]

*I'm searching and I'll melt into you*

*What a fear in my heart But you're so supreme!*

 

[Rentahamster]

pruuwu

 

[Kamina]

*What a fear in my heart But you're so supreme!*

*I give my life
Not for honor, but for you (Snake Eater)*

 

[lh032]

anyone that attempt to skip the ladder should quit gaming.

Solid Snake assumes a T-pose

of course a Polygon writer wouldn't know the difference between Solid Snake and Naked Snake

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

Skipping this scene with this music is like skipping sex.

 

[VN1X]

So what all the meme responses above me seem to miss is that, as far as I remember, this sequence was put in place to deal with loading the next area while also keeping the gameplay uninterrupted.

That was all bull then?

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

Imagine skipping one of the most iconic moments in gaming history, heathens

Edit: speedrunning is fair game, otherwise...

 

[Calling 911 Melts Beams]

of course a Polygon writer wouldn't know the difference between Solid Snake and Naked Snake

"Cishet male uses white privilege to skip ahead to top of capitalistic patriarchal ladder"

 

[Dick Jones]

of course a Polygon writer wouldn't know the difference between Solid Snake and Naked Snake

You can't expect a Polygon journalist to either be that competent to get that far in a game, or take a fucking minute to read a wiki.

For the PS2, no
This is the HD remaster which runs on the PS3, that streams from the HDD instead.

 

[Revolutionary]

"You can skip one of the best moments in the series"

 

[Calling 911 Melts Beams]

the best moment in the series is letting meryl die

 

[TidusYuna]

*I give my life
Not for honor, but for you (Snake Eater)*

*In my time, there'll be no one else*

 

[DelireMan7]

*In my time, there'll be no one else*

*Criiiiiiiiiiiime, it's the way I fly to you (Snake eater)*

 

[DelireMan7]

the best moment in the series is letting meryl die

My favorite ending in MGS. The reaction of Snake at the end gets me so much

 

[Ge Os]

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Yeeter

 

[TidusYuna]

*Criiiiiiiiiiiime, it's the way I fly to you (Snake eater)*

*I'm stiiiiiiiiiiill in a dreeeeeeam*

 

[The Stig]

Gosh darn it, you guys beat me to reciting the lyrics!

Who would skip this scene?!

oh, speedrunners. weirdos.

 

[SkylineRKR]

One of the best moments in the game, and the hardest boss of the game. Don't skip it.

 

[The Stig]

does anyone remember the GAMEFAQS threads?

"how do you beat the ladder?!"

Praise be Saint Snake, who was resurrected in T-position.
