The guide below will explain why players should interrogate enemies inMetal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eaterand how to do it properly without causing an alert.
Why Interrogate Enemies?
The 2004 video game is filled with numerous secrets and tricks to help give Snake the upper hand against enemies and the numerous tools they can use against him.

How To Interrogate
First things first, players shouldbe in stealthand not attempt an interrogation during an active alert state. To interrogate, one must firstput the enemy in a chokehold. There are two ways to do this. First, players should use the d-pad to sneak in close without the enemy hearing Snake’s footsteps.
When Snake is close, players should hold the melee button, and an animation will play where Snake gets a grip on the enemy. Alternatively, players can run up quickly to the enemy and hold the melee button once they are close. The enemy will turn around, but if the player is quick enough, an alert status will not be activated. Players need to be either unarmed or equipped with a weapon that has “CQC” written in the item box.
Now that they are in a chokehold,push in the left stickand Snake will hold a knife to their throat and tell the enemy to speak. The enemy will then reveal the information.
What To Do After Interrogating The Enemy
From here,players need to find a way to dispose of the guardso the body does not alert their buddies. If they want to lethally eliminate the enemy, players canchoke the guard out by tapping the melee attack button(circle on PlayStation) until they snap their neck or press the left trigger to slit their throat (on the PS2, hold the circle button). If they want to non-lethally knock out the enemy, players can choke them out until stars are circling above their head.
Players should hide the body if they intend on staying in this area so other enemies don’t discover it. However, there is no need to worry about this if players leave the area quickly. Snake is in the clear once the text revealing the name of the new area he is entering appears.
