Chyornaya Peschera Cave
From the Metal Gear Wiki
Chyornaya Peschera, which roughly translates from Russian as "black cave," is a location in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. A pitch-black cave where Naked Snake falls after his battle with Ocelot. It is flooded in several chambers and many people have gotten lost forever in the cave and died of starvation. Due to this, there are quite a few items for Snake to pick up inside the cave, including the powerful M37 Shotgun. After navigating through the dark cave, he encounters and does battle with the Hornet Soldier of the Cobra Unit, The Pain.
The challenge in this area is that it is so dark that Snake cannot see. However, both the Torch and the Night Vision Goggles can be found in this area. The player mustn't panic if they can't find those items, though, as Snake's eyes will gradually adjust to the darkness of the cave, making it easier to see as time goes on.
This area is notable for being one of the few areas in the game to have no guards in it.
[edit] Gameplay
As soon as the battle starts, wait for The Pain to throw the pheromones, once he is about to throw them, roll off of the rock and you should be directly below The Pain. Try to shoot his head a few times to trigger the hornets, who come and protect him, and if you can't hit his head, try his body several times. Once the hornets arrive, throw a Grenade directly above him. Once the grenade explodes aim and shoot at his head, and if he moves than shoot his body. When Phase II of the battle starts stay in the water because he will start to shoot his bullet bees. After the bullet bees attack, he will throw some grenades in the water without the help of his hornets, when he does swim as far away as Snake can. Once you have avoided the attacks, resurface and throw a grenade and aim for his head. A reminder, when the battle begins, Phase I, make sure to shoot him and not give him a chance to get the Tommy Gun. If he does swim away, and sometimes you can use some of his attacks to your advantage, like when he summons the hornets to attack you with a grenade. If you shoot him before the hornets leave his rock, you might be able to hurt his shield.
