[edit] Gameplay
[edit] South
Snake first encounters the flying platforms in this area. Simply move forward through the river, avoiding the searchlights. If you need to take down a platform, be aware that it will cause a Caution alert.
[edit] West
This optional area has an armory, containing an SVD sniper rifle.
[edit] Warehouse
Snake must infiltrate the shipping warehouse to reach Graniny Gorki, and later, to head out to Svyatogornyj.
On the first way through, shoot the guards before approaching the docks. There are three, though only two are fully visible at the start (shooting the further away one will attract the third).
Enter the warehouse through the path to the north-east. Inside, note that camouflage is next to useless, but equip the Splitter camouflage to make it least likely you are seen from a distance. Immediately after entering the area, follow the path round at a run and press yourself against the short wall part of the railing in front of the entrance door. Wait for the guard below to turn to face west (he is initially facing south) and then run south and roll over the railings, landing behind the boxes. A guard will see you and come to investigate. As he gets close to where you jumped down (he will not look west, so hide behind the boxes) get him in a CQC hold, drag him behind the boxes and choke him/slit his throat. This will attract another guard (and possibly give a caution if you were not perfectly timed - though no reinforcements should be called) so be quick. Run west, pick up the Cardboard Box and wait there. The guard patrolling next to you (the same one you saw at the beginning, though now on the other side of the room) will walk south and not see you. As he passes you, hold him in CQC, drag him out of sight and choke him/slit his throat.
By this point, the third guard should be coming down the stairs to investigate the first guard you dispatched. Run north and hide behind the northernmost stack of crates. As the guard comes down to your right, follow the crates round the back, get behind him, and CQC him. The final guard is on the top level. Run south (staying in the cover of the crates as much as possible), and keep an eye on his position. When you get a clear sight at him, tranquillize him and sprint to the top fo the stairs before anyone wakes up, stopping at the food storage room on the way.
On the way back through, run and CQC the guard in front of you, keeping an eye on where he is looking. From the top post, you should have no problem tranquillizing the guards below.

[edit] Trivia
- If Snake obtains the SVD from the armory before approaching the warehouse docks, he can kill The End before he is wheeled away by guards. Doing so results in a confrontation with the Ocelot Unit at Sokrovenno instead of The End.
- Packages of Instant Noodles are first obtained here at the warehouse.
- After meeting with Granin, the Water face paint can be found in the waterway in Ponizovje South.
