Run 1: The Engine Room and the Holds

Sweep the Engine Room, clear the Semtex sensor room and Deck 2, win the forced firefight, then cross the three timed holds for their tags and photos before uploading the pictures that end the Tanker.

This stretch starts in the Deck-A Crew's Lounge with the USP, the Thermal Goggles, the Chaff and Stun Grenades and the Camera you started with. It takes seven Engine Room tags and the last two Tanker weapon types, shoots out the Semtex sensors, crosses Deck 2 and its forced firefight, and ends in the three holds, where a clock runs and the marines must never be harmed. Nothing here waits for later: when Otacon accepts the four photos at the end, the Tanker is over for this run, and every row above that point goes with it.

Area: Engine RoomArea
Location
The Tanker · Engine Room – From the Stun Grenades at the foot of the lounge stairs, go through the door there and up the short corridor; a large shadow plays across the wall before the door into the main hall. Save on 140.96 here if you like. The lockers by the infrared sensors in the small room at the top carry a pair of pin-ups, worth a photo for Otacon.
Requires
Summary
A tall machine hall of catwalks, stairs and bridges, with a small sensor room at the far top. Seven of Normal's Tanker tags are in it.

Shoot the action figureOtherMissablePoint of no return
Location
The Tanker · Engine Room, entry corridor – It stands in front of the light that throws the shadow, in the corridor before the main hall's door. Shoot it once to knock it over. A call to Otacon (141.12) just after the shadow scene gets a short exchange about it. Be quick: the guard just inside the next door leaves his post if you dawdle.

The giant shadow in the entry corridor is cast by a little action figure set in front of a lamp. Shot, it topples and sprays tiny pellets with angry noises.

Photo: action figure or male posterCollectibleMissablePoint of no return
Location
The Tanker · Engine Room, entry corridor – While you are at the figure, equip the Camera and photograph it, or the poster of a bare-chested man close by. Keep the shot until the Hold No. 3 terminal; the Camera holds only a handful of pictures, so leave room for the two hold photos.
Why you can lose it

Summary
A shot of the action figure, or of the muscle-man poster near it, earns Otacon's teasing when you upload it in Hold No. 3. It costs one of the Camera's few picture slots.

The Tanker · Engine Room, inside the door – Go through the door into the main hall at once: a guard stands right beside it on the first catwalk and walks off if you are slow. Hold him up from behind with a gun out, step round in front and aim at his head until he shakes the tag loose.

Steel Grip: raise grip to Lv. 3 before the holdsAchievement
Location
The Tanker · Engine Room, catwalk railings – Before you go through the exit door, pick a catwalk railing away from the patrols, hang from it and do pull-ups: 100 bring Lv. 2 and another 100 bring Lv. 3. Climb back up whenever the grip gauge runs low. Dropping from one railing and catching the one below counts for many pull-ups at once, but a missed catch is a fatal fall, and dying wipes the progress, so save on 140.96 first.
Requires
Summary
Grip Lv. 3 lets Snake hang far longer, and the upper way through the holds needs it for two of their tags. The trophy pops on reaching Lv. 3.

Finish the upper decks before Deck-2 Starboard

The door at the end of Deck-2 Port leads into a forced firefight, and from there straight into the timed holds. Whether the decks above can be walked back to afterwards is not confirmed, so treat that door as the end of them: every Aft Deck, Deck A to Deck E, Navigational Deck, Engine Room and Deck-2 Port tag and pickup should be in hand first, along with Grip Lv. 3. Save on 140.96 before you go through.

Caution: HotAchievement
Location
The Tanker · Deck-2, Starboard – Through the door from Deck-2 Port, the starboard passage is lined with pipes. Once the shooting starts, fire at a pipe beside a mercenary and keep hitting it until the steam finishes him; he raises a hand to his face while it hits. The trophy pops on that kill. Take it here: pipes later in the game are not confirmed.
Requires
Summary
Down an enemy with steam from a burst pipe. The firefight just past Deck-2 Port is the natural place, since its mercenaries must all fall anyway.

The holds: a clock, and marines you must not harm

From Hold No. 1 a countdown runs while the marines sit through their briefing, and the photos must be uploaded in Hold No. 3 before it ends, or the mission fails. Killing or alerting any marine is a game over, so take their tags with hold-ups only, never a shot. Crawl under the projector beams: Snake's shadow on the screen gives him away. The Camera holds only a handful of pictures. Save on 140.96 as you reach each hold.

If every marine is fully dressed when you arrive, the trophy waits for the Easy run, which passes Hold No. 1 again.

About this guide

Four runs of the Tanker-Plant game on one save chain, each started from the last run's clear save. Run 1 on Normal sweeps every pickup, secret and dog tag. Runs 2 and 3 on Easy and Very Easy collect that difficulty's dog tags, because tags add up across difficulties and the Stealth rewards need more than one difficulty holds. Run 4 on Extreme is the Big Boss run: under three hours, no kills, no alerts beyond the scripted ones, no special items, few saves. The VR and Alternative missions, Snake Tales, Boss Survival and Casting Theater sit outside the runs, in the menu.
