Take him alive. And then kill him.

Your attack is swift and deadly. Before the guard can scream for help, you have silenced him for good with an open-handed chop to the neck.

Healing: +1 EP (23/26).

The PS2 actually had analog buttons, and depending on how hard you press them in MGS3 it'd distinguish between "slightly choke this dude so he doesn't get away" and "break his neck".

What I'm saying is "accidentally" press the button too hard.

Search the bodies, we might need a key off em to get back all our cool stuff!

A thorough search of both bodies uncovers the following items:

• 1 Sword
  
• 1 Dagger
  
• 1 Warhammer
  
• 6 Gold Crowns
  
• Gaoler’s Keys (Special Item)

You may take any of the above items. Remember to mark them on your Action Chart. The Gaoler’s Keys should be worn attached to your belt. You remember to lock the cell door before you hurry off along the corridor.

Healing: +1 EP (24/26).

The corridor heads north but soon ends at a junction where another passage runs across from east to west. Cautiously, you peer around the corner, but there are no signs of any guards. At the end of the east passage you can see a flight of steps descending out of view; to the west, you see a closed door.

Healing: +1 EP (25/26).

as we go down the stairs.

You descend the stairs and follow the corridor eastwards, taking care to tread lightly. The bars on windows high in the wall to your right cast latticed shadows across the smooth marble floor ahead. Beneath one of these windows stands a table on which rests a pitcher of water. Your throat is parched, and you stop to take a long drink. Restore 1 ENDURANCE point.

Endurance: 26/26.

From the view, you judge that this window is set high up in the south wall of the Grand Palace. Far below you can see the buildings of the capital, in miniature clusters inside the white city wall. To the southeast lies Lake Inrahim, an immense salt-water plain that is completely dry and cracked. To the east, a road stretches across the causeway to the town of Chula, just visible on the horizon. To the southwest lie the barren, sun-scorched Dahir Mountains and the shifting ocean of sand known as the Dry Main.

The bars of the window are badly corroded; it would be easy to dislodge them. However, the drop of several hundred feet to the city below means that there is no hope of escape this way. You climb down from the table and hurry along the corridor.

You arrive at a high-vaulted chamber with a large, nail-studded door set into the south wall. A rack standing near to the door holds a Spear and a Broadsword. You may take either or both of these if you wish. To the north, beneath a beautifully decorated horseshoe arch, is another passage that leads out of the chamber.

Drop sword

Stay a while and listen

Shadow on the Sand posted:

Placing your ear close to the keyhole, you hear faint but horrible sounds. Screams of agony mingled with hysterical laughter and heart-rending sobs. The crack of a whip and the creaking of a rack confirm your suspicions that a torture chamber lies beyond this door. The terrible sounds make you shudder, and you waste no time in hurrying away from the chamber by the north door.

You move quickly and quietly along the north corridor and soon arrive at another arched passage that heads off to the west. A fierce glow can be seen in the distance, and you hear the hiss of red-hot steel as it is thrust into water and the clang of hammer on anvil—the unmistakable sounds of a blacksmithy.
