The Ladder

The Ladder is, well, a ridiculously tall ladder. Stretching from an underground tunnel all the way to the top of a mountain, this insane product of human engineering requires minutes to ascend, not to mention an unwavering commitment to pushing forward on the left analogue stick. In order to reach the top, Snake has to follow not only the right steps, but the rung steps.

Special abilities: Being extraordinarily long and occasionally causing vertigo.

Weaknesses: It's an inert object and thus, not very good at preventing people from climbing it.

Trivia: We probably don't need to tell you this, but feeding Snake a sleep-inducing mushroom during his climb is an all-around bad idea. Funny, but bad.
