Madden R from there snake fights the major players at outer heaven including shot-maker machine gun kid fire trooper all the while snake its occasional advice and tips from Big Boss via radio communication Solid Snake is able to find a destroying Metal Gear but during his escape he comes face-to-face with the leader of outer heaven Big Boss you know the fake Big Boss who was actually venom snake he tell snake that he's only been sent in to gather false Intel but because he'd achieved and seen so much snake actually crushed boss's original ambitions after a ruthless battle against his mentor or so snake banks snake is ultimately victorious he escapes outer heaven before it self-destructs an operation and 3:13 is deemed a success of course the real Big Boss survives and continues to pursue his dream of a nation governed by soldiers Zanzibar land disturbance 1997 to 1999 in 1997 Big Boss and his army part in the mercenary war as a result the formerly autonomous USSR zone called the Zanzibar province becomes Zanzibar land and Big Boss becomes as president within Zanzibar land big boss recruits war orphans from third world nations and raises them as soldiers many of these children grow up to view Big Boss as a father figure Big Boss also recruits the still alive gray fox to his cause and commissions the creation of Metal Gear D to ensure the success and survival of Zanzibar land because he'd been slandered as a madman in the United States dr. Drago Madden are willingly builds the new Metal Gear by 1999 the Cold War has began to thaw but oil reserves around the world are critically well to combat this energy crisis a Czech scientist named dr. Keough Marv successfully creates a new energy producing form of algae called oil X unfortunately he's kidnapped by soldiers from the heavily fortified and landlocked nation Zanzibar land to rescue dr. maura foxhounds new commander Roy Campbell brings Solid Snake out of retirement for a covert mission called Operation intrude fo fourteen Solid Snake fights off the numerous mercenaries sent after him including the old outer heaven resistance leader Kyle Schneider now known as black ninja out of respect to Solid Snake he hints at dr. Marrs location claiming that it was what the leader of Zanzibar land would have wanted despite big boss's attempts to thwart him Solid Snake destroys Metal Gear D and defeats his old ally gray Fox hand-to-hand combat in their final confrontation big boss appeals to snake as a fellow warrior reminding him that snake craved the perpetual warfare that he was trying to make big boss has spent his whole life on the battlefield and really couldn't imagine a world without war he said that even the best soldiers were useless without a war to fight like all good heroes do snake defies big boss and so big boss gives him his final words it doesn't matter who wins here our fight will continue the loser will be liberated from the battlefield and the winner will remain and the survivor will live out the rest of his days as a soldier snake battles the real big boss and as you would expect from the legendary soldier big boss nearly wins but Solid Snake finally claims victory by creating a makeshift flamethrower and golfing his former mentor any doubt of flames and leaving him for dead his mission complete snake hands off the oil X formula to Roy Campbell before retiring to Alaska finally freed from the battlefield shadow moses incident 2005 but of course the american government isn't having in that and in 2005 snake is called to action by his former commander right Campbell to coerce him into helping Campbell sends armed soldiers after snake and has his personal effects confiscated snake who grudgingly agrees to help but under the condition that he only be given orders from Campbell and that he be told all his mission information from the outset rogue members of Foxhound have staged rebellion on Shadow Moses Island threatening the u.s. with a nuclear strike they're demanding the remains of Bigg Boss be turned over to them along with 1 billion dollars to avoid being confused with liquid snake and keep in mind they don't really know that they're clones yet Solid Snake chops off his hair and gets that iconic short mullet that we all know and love Solid Snake's goals for the mission are simple ascertain the rebels nuclear capabilities and rescue their two hostages DARPA chief Donald Anderson aka SIGINT from the Snake Eater days and weapons manufacturer Kenneth Baker snake infiltrate shadow Moses and goes on to attempt to rescue Donald Anderson from the cell anderson reveals plans for a new metal gear at the facility and before snake and rescue him dies in front of snake snake escapes the cell with help from Foxhound recruit meryl silverburgh who is also Campbell's niece she knocks out the guard patrolling the cells who we as players know is Jonny Sasaki and unlocks the cell door for snake snake then moves on to his next target Kenneth Baker he finds Baker imprisoned within a web of c4 thanks to revolver ocelot and yes the exact same Ocelot who served a big boss throughout the years snake battles Ocelot and wins and ocelots hand is sliced off thanks to a rogue agent among the rogue agents snakes Ally turned enemy gray fox later snake quickly get some help from how Otakon emmerich the scientist who designed Metal Gear Rex along his way to liquid snake battles the top dogs of Foxhound including Vulcan Raven psycho mantis and sniper wolf eventually liquid trick snake into activating Metal Gear Rex by impersonating master Miller over codec after killing it ultimately snake prevails as he stops Metal Gear Rex with some help from grey fox during the two clones his final battle liquid tod snake by telling him that he's killed any of his brothers in the next generation of special forces who has also been experimented on with big boss's genes but snake has the last laugh when liquid succumbs to the Fox die virus after they both escaped shadow knows this see Fox die was a central part of the Shadow Moses incident all long snake learns that he's a host of Fox die it's a virus designed by dr. Naomi hunter the Pentagon wanted him to pass it on to Kenneth Baker who the government wanted dead for knowing too much about the conspiracy and also to the Fox sound operatives to further unsettle him Solid Snake is reminded that he subconsciously might have returned to the battlefield because he actually enjoys war maril Psycho Mantis and liquid snake all said that to him hey even Big Boss told him that during their showdown in Zanzibar legend snake had a feeling that Campbell had been concealing information from him throughout his mission but forgives him because the Pentagon had used his niece Meryl as leverage she was sent to shadow Moses before the incident to make him cooperate perhaps the most far-reaching results of the Shadow Moses incident is the effect it would have on snakes later life naomi designed his particular strain of the foxdie virus to really make snake hurt specifically she believed that snake had killed her brother gray fox back in zanzibar land so as a form of revenge snake strain of Fox dye makes him vulnerable at a random time as opposed to you know a set decline post shadow Moses and the tanker incident 2006 to 2008 solid snake goes into hiding after the Shadow Moses incident the sole survivor of Foxhound revolver ocelot reports the event to US President George Sears who's actually the third genetically perfect clone solid a snake the Patriots placed solidest into the presidency and Ocelot was spying for the organization he tell solidus that the inferior clone solid was the one who survived even though liquid thought he was the inferior clone and that snake's foxdie virus is going to activate soon also and perhaps the weirdest occurrence in the series and that's saying a lot Ocelot transplants liquid snakes arm onto his own body after losing his own at shadow Moses leading to liquid slowly taking over his consciousness creating the combined persona of liquid Ocelot because that's how arms work three weeks after the incident naomi hunter escapes her imprisonment liquid ocelots the one who breaks route but the government frame solid snake Floyd but that's the least of snakes troubles liquid Ocelot goes on to sell the plans for Metal Gear Rex on the black market which prompts snake and Otakon to create a non-government organization called philanthropy its goal is to eliminate all metal gear related technology by investigating its development across the world using snakes and filtration skills the organization and releases his findings to the public during one of his missions Solid Snake finds liquid snake's corpse in cold storage in 2007 solid snake and Otto Kahn find out through Otto Kahn stepsister Emma Emmerich that the new amphibious Metal Gear called Metal Gear RAY is being transported to the US on a disguised oil tanker no snake has a new mission infiltrate the tanker and get footage of Metal Gear RAY to prove its existence to the world after snake arrives on the ship the tanker is taken over by a Russian military force led by Sergei guru kovitch Solid Snake fights and non-lethal e subdues crew lukovitch's daughter olga although he's able to get photographic evidence a Metal Gear RAY neither snake nor auto con are able to predict the triumphant reappearance of revolver ocelot in the tanker who detonates a number of explosives in order to sink the boat in fighting off Ocelot snake is confronted by liquid who was starting to take over ocelots mind liquid Ocelot is able to steal Metal Gear RAY and escape the tanker in it snake also escapes the tanker and is rescued by Otto Kahn on a small boat the two of them proceed to rescue Olga and fake snakes death using the original liquid snake's corpse which we discovered earlier but once again that isn't the end of it a US Army cipher takes its own photographs of the tanker incident which the Patriots used to frame Solid Snake again and the Philanthropy organization both exposing them to the public and destroying the reputation the media manipulated by the Patriots reports that Solid Snake had led the terrorists take over the tanker the Navy dispatched the Marines to get rid of the threat and that snake sunk the tanker and killed everybody including himself at least his attempt to fake his death actually works the cleanup of the incident allows the Patriots to cover up the construction of Arsenal gear a massive moving submersible fortress capable of controlling Internet transmissions as well as launching nuclear weapons through control of the military's tactical network these abilities would allow Arsenal gear to wage war on both physical and informational battlefields philanthropy does come out on top in one way at least one website is convinced of the existence of Metal Gear RAY despite being discredited by the mainstream media snake and auto cons mission wasn't totally a failure big shell incident and the Sons of Liberty 2009 to 2011 fast forward two years to April of 2009 Solid Snake receives Intel than a militant organization called the Sons of Liberty have taken over the big shell offshore decontamination facility the organization is a combination of Russian mercenaries and a rogue counter-terrorist unit called dead cell consisting of members vamp fortune and fat man they've taken multiple hostages including the u.s. President James Johnson the tanker incident had leaked tons of crude oil into the ocean and the government claimed to have built big shell to facilitate the cleanup but in reality big shell is actually the inside of a new metal gear Arsenal gear to be exact by this point snake had been in hiding for two years and he feels like that was long enough so he decides to infiltrate Big Shell to save the hostages rescue the u.s. president and prevent the Sons of Liberty from blowing up the place snake is able to knock out several centuries in a sense of the roof what his noticed by Ryder Foxhound recruitment infiltrated the facility after snake to avoid being outed snake introduces himself as iroquois ISKCON a Navy SEAL with a totally believable and not at all made-up name snake as Plissken helps ride him throughout his mission though he raised his riding suspicions of his real identity a few times the two soldiers split up in Plissken continues watching riding from afar Plissken x' headphones and use of certain military mottos clues bomb disposal expert Peter Stillman into the fact that he wasn't really a seal he also uses a cardboard box to hide in at one point further raising the suspicions of Stillman and ridin Plissken goes on to investigate shell - of the facility on Stillman's request and finds a large cache of explosives planted by fat man when he disarms the decoy explosives plus can accidentally activates the bombs disturbed by the further activation bombs Stillman ghost to strut eights to investigate only to discover a bomb that couldn't be deactivated after warning Plissken and ride enough fat man's intentions the bomb explodes killing Stillman the resulting boom knocks Plissken out but he survives the blast with Otto Kahn's help using a tip from ridin Plissken investigates shell - and hijacks a helicopter for Otto Conda pilot ridin and Plissken continue working together even as ridin begins to doubt politicans identity the two soldiers are attacked by the leader of the Sons of Liberty snakes genetic brother solid a snake aka George Sears solidus has been claiming he solid snake the whole time and Plissken angrily insists he has it when riding over here solidus used Pushkin's real name the real solid snake finally reveals his true identity and mission - ridin snake encounters Olga guru lukovitch and explains to her that Ocelot killed her father Sergei not him meanwhile ridin finds President Johnson who tells them that the Patriots have hand-picked and controlled every US president for generations he also tells him the truth about solidus he is the affer mentioned perfect third clone of Big Boss who went rogue with dead Sal to escape the Patriots control right after this revelation just to make things difficult Ocelot assassinate the president snake venom protect Emma she heads towards shell one but vamp suddenly appears and mortally wounds Emma runs to Emma's aid and carries her back at she'll one snake ride in Otakon and Emma install a computer virus into Arsenal gears AI and right afterwards Emma succumbs to the wound inflicted by BAM after a handshake of Troop romance to help give Otacon some confidence snakes seemingly betrays right in using Olga's help this gives ride an access to Arsenal gear to get a hold of a disc containing the identities of the Patriots together snake and Wright and fight their way through an army of enemy soldiers snake is captured by one of the leading members of dead cell fortune on top of Arsenal gear Ocelot confronts Solid Snake fortune ridin and solidus snake and reveals his true colors as an agent of the Patriots just then his transplanted right arm takes over and liquid stakes consciousness possesses him and then liquid Ocelot tells him that the whole big shell Fiasco was just a ploy to lure snakes to him so today could take over Aslan and then set off metal gear ready to kill the Patriots solo snake isn't able to stop Metal Gear RAY from getting away but he does put a tracker on it after riding defeat solidus in a sword fight snake explains to him that his plan was to find the Patriots and that the disc that Ryden had been given was a decoy he graciously refuses write-ins help with the philanthropy organisation because he doesn't want a place ride in or Olga's daughter in any further danger after the Big Shell incident Solid Snake's body starts rapidly aging and no doctors can diagnose why players know it's because of his faulty clone genes snake had made a promise to ride in to rescue Olga's daughter sunny from the Patriots but by 2011 he isn't able to do so and instead ride in anonymously delivers her to snakes care the guns of the Patriots incident and the end of Solid Snake 2014 by 2014 Otacon and snakes other doctors have told him that he has at best a year to live this is when snake resurfaces to the military world as Old Snake the world is entirely controlled by private military companies manned by nano machine enhanced soldiers and the largest conglomerate of PMC's is headed by liquid Ocelot he is leading a new version of outer heaven which is the mother company to five of the biggest PMC's with so much power in his hands liquid is a hair's breadth from world domination this crisis brings old snake out of retirement he's dispatched the Middle East as a favor to Campbell to assassinate liquid Ocelot with inspecting PMC's as his cover story once again he works alongside his old friend Otacon old snake infiltrates liquids PMC headquarters base by disguising himself as a militia instructor his initial attempt to assassinate liquid fails he does learn that dr. Naomi hunter is being held captive after being rescued Naomi tell snake that the Fox died virus and his body has started to mutate but if he doesn't die soon it'll spread causing a pandemic she also tells him that liquids goal was to obtain the body of Big Boss and use it to access the Patriots master network using GW the AI from Arsenal gear which he repurposed for his own nefarious gains the technological system is controlled by biological means which means that having access to boss's genes lets liquid Ocelot control all nano machines and therefore all PMC's liquid is able to get ahold of big boss's corpse and shuts down every PMC other than his own from there he plans to destroy JD the Patriots main AI and use GW to usurp domination of the world from the Patriots to do this though he needs a nuclear weapon that isn't locked by the Patriots nanomachines snake and friends deduce that the only such weapon in the world is the railgun of Metal Gear Rex which remains on Shadow Moses Island old snake gets to Rex but not before liquid Steel's the railgun liquid escapes to outer Haven not heaven Haven his own massive submersible battleship and attempts to crush snake by running him over with it snake is rescued by rider who uses a cyborg strength to stop the ship losing both arms in the process oh yeah Ryden is a breakdancing cyborg now now snake has united with all his friends to oppose liquid he's got ridin hardened badass Merrill and classic pants pooper Johnny Sasaki the team sneaks aboard outer Haven to stop GW before it can launch the nuke snakes able to haul up the launch of the railgun by using a new computer virus this new virus Fox alive was made by Naomi hunter with some help from sunny and snake uses it to control the system unbeknownst to everyone sunny had secretly programmed Fox alive to destroy JD the patriot system as well as the AIS and nanomachines but then a plot twist liquid Ocelot reveals that the new virus was his plan all along because he wanted to fulfill the big boss's dream a world where soldiers can be free Ocelot an old snake engaged in one final geriatric duel and afterwards Ocelot succumbs to the strain and stress and dies also turns out that Ocelot was never actually possessed by the spirit of liquid he just acted as if he was to fool the Patriots effectively transplanting liquids personality onto himself using drugs nanomachines psychotherapy and hypnosis Kojima come on ye by this point Old Snake is at the end of his rope emotionally physically and spiritually he visits the false grave of Big Boss and knowing he must die to stop the oncoming plague festering within him he attempts to commit suicide however he is unable to bring himself to pull the trigger he's then interrupted by Big Boss accompanied by the paralyzed major zero that's right Big Boss is still alive he explains everything to Old Snake telling him that major zero allowed the AI to take over control of the Patriots and therefore forced the world to be dependent on war economy he also tells him that he was injected with a second strain of foxdie one designed to kill Big Boss along with Ocelot and snake's mother Eva but there's an upside the new virus replaces the old virus which means that snakes Fox die is no longer mutating and that it'll no longer spread snake gets to live so snake and big boss reconcile and after Big Boss turns off major zeros oxygen supply thus killing the last of the Patriots boss dies and his clone sons arms from the Fox Die virus his last words to snake urged him to live his life to the fullest not as a snake as a man the advice hits home and snake chooses to quit smoking and resolves to live the rest of his life in peace hoping to see the new and more peaceful world he's helped create I've been your host Marcus and what better way to end the Metal Gear timeline than with Solid Snake himself David Hayter thanks David and so concludes the insane saga of Solid Snake and Metal Gear as bizarre as this story gets Metal Gear is a series near and dear to my heart love truly can bloom on a battlefield I'm David Hayter with the leaderboard and if you like this video consider subscribing to the leaderboard and if you're still hungry for more stories about stealthy super soldiers walking robots and villains with crazy code names take a look at our first Metal Gear timeline it covers the rise of the Patriots big boss basically everything you'd need to know before watching this one I'm Solid Snake thank you for listening snake out
