[top]Introduction
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater HD takes place before all the events of previous games and is a prequel to the series where you take on the role of Big Boss in the Snake Eater mission. The story places you in Russia, during the Cold War, attempting to recover the scientist Sokolov who has defected to the United States before he's forced to finish work on the Shagohod project and cause a new World War. You will venture through jungles and over mountains either sneaking around or gunning your way through enemy patrols to complete your mission. You will need to save the world from devastation and the tyranny of a man named Volgin who is being helped by your former mentor, The Boss and her gang of "elite soldiers".

BE ADVISED THIS GUIDE WILL ALSO CONTAIN SPOILERS SO READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!
[top]Tips & Strategies
General Tips
Keep in mind that if you should die in an area, anything you did after entering that area is reverted back to just before you entered. This means any kerotan's shot, camouflages found, items picked up, etc will have to be refound again. Also this is the same if you save in an area and reload from that point. You will have to recollect anything you obtained all over again. Simply keep in mind after finding or doing anything you want saved.. Exit the area and then save.
Helpful Items
NOTE: All items will be obtains in Operation Snake Eater unless otherwise noted for the item. Some items if you pass up an opportunity to acquire them, they will appear at a later point. These items will also be noted as such.
Radio Banter
Don't forget to radio in to your friends for some in-game advice and suggestions. Helps greatly if you played bit of the game, and then coming back to it to get a feel for it again. You will already have the stations marked in game so you don't need to key them in, just listed so you'd know. Also, saving the game will spark some movie plot dialogue with Para-Medic. Just interesting stuff at times to lighten tension around you.
The End Tips & Tricks
Tip for The End battle is that you can snipe him off early in the game when The Fear wheels him outside with The Boss and Volgin before leaping off to hunt down Snake and you acquire a trophy for doing so. Also, during the actual battle with him, you can save your game, quit out.. and then change the internal time of the system up by around 24 hours or more. When you reload he'll be dead and you get a special cutscene. This worked 100% on PS2, but imagine it works same now on the PS3. Also, if you attack The End at the pier and he lives, he'll be slightly weakened during the Battle with him.
The Fear Tips & Tricks
Tips for The Fear battle. During the fight as you weaken him, you can throw down your own food(particularly rotten for "BEST" effects
) and he'll go after it and eat. This works on guards as well, you can make them eat rotten food and they'll become poisoned and die. If you have stun grenades to spare, use them and take down any prey he may be going after in the trees and stun him for a bit too.
Volgin Tips
For some reason, he REALLY hates tree frogs.. so capture one before you fight him and throw it at him. He'll spend few moments trying to squish it before coming back after you. Also, you can throw down the Russian cap mushrooms to absorb some of his lightning attacks.
You remember Raiden(Raikov's) mask and uniform.. Wear it into battle. Volgin will think you're him for a while, but then become EXTRA furious and more aggressive for remainder so keep in mind if it's worth that for a few free shots.
Random Enemy Tips
Destroy the ammunition and provision sheds to weaken enemy forces and take out their radios to cut off contact to reinforcements. Also interrogating soldiers will acquire you Intel on what's ahead, radio stations, and just various other facts. Most often, just them yelling about you being American Capitalist scum and the such. That's when you slice their throat.
Animal Tips
When you're searching for certain animals like the flying squirrel or the fungi and other plants, keep the Thermal Goggles equipped to see them easier. Helps alot mainly for the fungus and plant trophies, but also makes seeing that damned squirrel or the birds better. After you capture or kill something new, always eat it. This way you can go to the Cure option and view your medical and food history. Helps to keep track of anything you may have gotten so that you don't hunt for it unnecessarily.
Crocs
First off, they are easily fooled by anyone or anything wearing the head of their brothers.. aka the croc cap.
. Wear it and they won't mess with you preventing the next unfortunate event that can happen... THE CROCCY BARREL ROLL OF DEATH!!!! Yup, if you go near a croc or it gets too close to you, while in water only, you will be one shotted by this attack of theirs so keep eye out when going for a swim!
SNAKE ESCAPE
After the torture scene in the game, you will awaken inside a prison cell. There are several ways to escape here. If you paid attention during the torture scene and pressed R1 at the correct moment, The Sorrow holds up the radio frequency I list below to get out. You don't need to watch it to use it though, simply knowing is good enough.
Basic Clockworking
During the game, you will have food that will go bad. Trick to getting it back normal and good is to use the same time tricks mentioned before for special events with The End here again. You can change the time on your system to either revert the spoiling of food OR cause the spoiling to deal with pesky hungry enemies and for The Fear battle. Helps if want some rotten food when you're in prison as well. simply get some food from guard, and then save. Adjust time, and load back up. TA-DAH!
For The End if you didn't read that.. you can save when the battle starts, and then adjust the time of your system by a couple years or so and then when you load back up, he will be dead. Also, if you only move up a few hours to days or so, when you load, he will capture YOU so beware!!
Keep in mind that if you should die in an area, anything you did after entering that area is reverted back to just before you entered. This means any kerotan's shot, camouflages found, items picked up, etc will have to be refound again. Also this is the same if you save in an area and reload from that point. You will have to recollect anything you obtained all over again. Simply keep in mind after finding or doing anything you want saved.. Exit the area and then save.

You will already have the stations marked in game so you don't need to key them in, just listed so you'd know. Also, saving the game will spark some movie plot dialogue with Para-Medic. Just interesting stuff at times to lighten tension around you.
- 140.85 - Major Zero: He will give some mission advice

After the torture scene in the game, you will awaken inside a prison cell. There are several ways to escape here. If you paid attention during the torture scene and pressed R1 at the correct moment, The Sorrow holds up the radio frequency I list below to get out. You don't need to watch it to use it though, simply knowing is good enough.
- Go to the camo viewer and make throw up and the guard will come check on you. Knock him out and go from there.
- Use the radio frequency: 144.75 to unlock the door that way. Easiest way, but have to slip by the guards.
- Go to camo viewer and spin Snake around when the guard is nearby. Now exit out so he gets sick and throws up and the guard will unlock door to check on you. Put a fork in him! Lol...
- The guard eventually will start talking to you about his family and such and here will reveal the door unlock frequency on back of picture.
- Also, get some food from the guard and check if rotten, if not let it go bad and then throw back to him so when he eats it, he gets sick. Now use the code and escape with ease.
- During scene with Sokolov in Grozny Grad there's a green chalkboard in background with frequency written on it

[top]Roadmap
Your journey to the platinum will take only ONE playthrough if you do your research here for each collectible and take your time. Begin playing the game on any difficulty you want, doesn't matter, but the least difficult path will be on Very Easy difficulty. You will need to find every animal, plant, fungus, kerotan, camo, and face paint on this playthrough as well as NOT killing any people. This means use only your MK22 tranq gun or the EZ gun. Any other tranq weapon will work, but try to be as stealthy and avoid causing a commotion if possible.
SAVE constantly and in multiple files in case something messes up or have problems with going too far and missing something at one of the many points of no return. There are alot of collectibles which means LOTS of missable stuff in the game. Before playing for the platinum, be sure to check all of this and keep an eye out for them as you play.
Some trophies such as finding all snakes will be completed just before the end of the game so be sure before reaching this point you haven't missed one yet. Also same for some of the camo and face paints as they are obtained after the completion of the game(Tux, Stealth suit, infinity face paint).
Basic things to look out for to complete in one playthrough
NOTE: For all collectible animal, mushroom, and plant trophies, I've listed a few basic locations where they can each be found, BUT most will be able to be located all throughout the game. A select few are only located in very specific areas like Bird A: The End's Parrot is only during the fight with The End himself.. OR the vultures only being in the mountain region so keep in mind when you're searching for them.
Remember, save when after you defeat The Pain so that after traveling across the river, Ponizovje areas, when you enter the warehouse you will be prepared in case you don't save in time to take out The End here. You will need to do this and then reload so that you don't kill anyone and can hold him up later when you battle him in Sokrovenna areas.

Basic things to look out for to complete in one playthrough
- Tranq(avoiding guards when possible) EVERYONE including bosses so you can acquire all camos unlocked this way and won't kill anyone.
PEACE WALKER - Look everywhere for camo and face paints laying about in the environment before going through a point of no return. Check where they are listed at in the trophy sections for camo and face paints.
Only Skin Deep,
Fashionista - Keep an eye out for catching rare animals like Tsuchinoko and The End's Parrot.
- Watch to catch or kill each animal as you go as soon as possible to avoid missing them. Same for plants and mushrooms. You'll want to check every area before proceeding.
King of the Jungle - Keep multiple saves always for if you miss something and can catch it ASAP. Helps to do events for trophies and reload. The Early End
- Check list of Kerotans and make damned sure you have them before continue through a point of no return.
It Ain't Easy Being Green

Pain Relief 
Defeat The Pain.


Defeat The Pain.
Story Related. You will acquire this trophy after you defeat The Pain in the caves. After you finally face off with Ocelot, you will jump down into a crevice cave area to avoid the bees that begin attacking you. Make your way through here and you'll come to an opening where your battle with The Pain will begin. He attacks with bees as you should of noticed and thanks to the area around you being water, simply dive in when he sends them after you, pop up and shoot when get opening. His primary abilities are to throw bee grenades at you which you can shoot them and break up in the air and he will cover himself in bees, attacking as a shield. Throw smoke bombs to disorient him and break up the bee shield for easy attacks. During the fight as you weaken him a little, he'll fire homing bee bullets at you which won't do major damage but do track you for a while. When you have him about halfway down in health or stamina, he will form a Tommy gun and fire at you with it. Just keep up your same strategy of diving into the water to dodge his attacks and fire back when he's open until you defeat him.
NOTE: Tranqing The Pain unlocks the Hornet Camo which allows you to control bees and wards off other leaches, bees, and spiders.

If It Bleeds, We Can Kill It 
Defeat the Fear.


Defeat the Fear.
Story Related. You will acquire this trophy after you defeat The Fear. You will encounter The Fear after you speak to Granin and acquire the key and have to backtrack a ways. As you are going back through the jungle, you'll be shot in the leg by The Fear. After the cutscene with him, go into the Cure Menu and use the antidote and extract the arrow before the fight, otherwise, you'll stay partially weakened and poisoned. You'll have to watch for him very closely as he hops from tree to tree and is semi-invisible. His stamina will drain making it slightly easier to take him out with tranqs, but he does recover this if you let him eat the fruit and other birds in the area. Keep a watch on him and fire as often as you can to take him out of his invisible state. He'll fire down at you as long as you aren't shooting back so don't worry much about dodging and simply stay focused on attacking him and chasing him with shots as he tries to eat. If you don't allow him to do this, you'll have a very easy win on your hands here.
NOTE: Tranqing The Fear unlocks the Spider Camo which gives enhanced camo rating at the cost of constant stamina depletion.

The End 
Defeat The End.


Defeat The End.
Story Related. You will acquire this trophy after you defeat The End. The battle with The End will either be simply a headshot while he's in a wheelchair at the Pier early in the game after you have defeated The Pain OR a very long epic sniper battle in the forest with him. Either way, you earn this trophy but it will affect if you get another trophy now or later as well as affecting camo unlocks. If you want to take him out early and eliminate the long battle, simply refer to the The Early End trophy. Otherwise, let him go inside and ignore him at the pier warehouse area.
If you are going to battle him normally, it will take place throughout 3 different areas of the jungle and The End will normally be perched high above sniping down on you. Be advised he has very good vision and will spot you often if you simply run amuck through the jungles. Also, at times when he has you in his scopes, the game will give a perspective from him looking down at you so dodge behind some cover. Try to stay low and look up for his scope glare in the sun or watch from where his shots came from to get a few hits off quick. He will normally fire a time or two and then relocate so keep in mind.
Having trouble defeating The End fairly through the battle? Simply save your game and change up the system time by a week to a year or so. When you reload, you'll be granted a cutscene showing Snake finding his dead body and he has died from old age. Confirmed this still works on the PS3. Also, if you save and wait some time, when you reload instead of The End being dead, he will tranq Snake and you will have to make your way back from the Grainin Grad(name??) Base prison. Both make for interesting cutscenes but unnecessary for platinum. You won't get The End's rifle or camo if you defeat him this way.
NOTE: If you sneak up on the End and hold him up, he will give you his Moss camo, which is nearly the best overall in the game as it will recover some health in sunlight and gives you 100% camo index in right locations. You will have to aim your gun at him 3 times before he will give it up and run off. Also, if you finish him off by tranquilizing him, you will receive the Mosin Nagant rifle of his.
If you are going to battle him normally, it will take place throughout 3 different areas of the jungle and The End will normally be perched high above sniping down on you. Be advised he has very good vision and will spot you often if you simply run amuck through the jungles. Also, at times when he has you in his scopes, the game will give a perspective from him looking down at you so dodge behind some cover. Try to stay low and look up for his scope glare in the sun or watch from where his shots came from to get a few hits off quick. He will normally fire a time or two and then relocate so keep in mind.

Houston, We HAD a Problem 
Defeat the Fury.


Defeat the Fury.
Story Related. After you make it from the mountains, you will eventually come upon The Fury, who is equipped with a jetpack, a spacesuit, and a flamethrower. You will find a bit of difficulty most likely with him as you battle in narrow corridors and he will be flying around the place shooting his flamethrower down each one after you. Try to hide a bit and when he comes looking for you, sneak a few shots off into the back of his head and simply repeat. Just dodge down other corridors as he chases you with his fire and you will eventually overcome him.
NOTE: Tranqing The Fury unlocks the Fire Camo which gives you immunity to fire damage and has a cool red and black pattern.

River of Pain 
Defeat the Sorrow.


Defeat the Sorrow.
Story Related. You will acquire this trophy after you journey down the River of Sorrows. During this part of the game, you will encounter everyone that you have killed so far in the story, including bosses if you killed any of them rather than tranqing them. You can simply use the Revival Pill from the beginning and avoid the entire thing if you choose, but interesting to see it through the end and necessary for the Spirit Camo. If you get to the end and reach the Sorrow, you will die and have to use the Pill anyways, so your choice. DO NOT HIT CONTINUE!!! Also, he will fire little ghost beams at you throughout the battle that will knock you down if get hit. Side step them to avoid and dodge around the enemies you will see coming at your throughout as well.
NOTE: If you do go through the entire river and reach The Sorrow, you will acquire the Spirit Camo which will be "automatically" in your bag when you get your gear back. So it's best to simply go through the river section, rather than get out of a few minutes... granted you didn't gun down every single soul around through the game.

Shagadelic 
Defeat Shagohod.


Defeat Shagohod.
Story Related. After Snake gets discovered and makes it back to the base after acquiring C3 to blow up the Shagohod, you will plant it, but it won't work for destroying the thing. This will begin a cutscene and then you will become chased by the Shagohod while escaping with Eva on the motorcycle. Shoot out it's treads to slow it down during this point and watch out for enemies chasing around you. After so long, you will go across a bridge and need to snipe some C3 placed here as it comes over.
However, the battle isn't quite over yet and Volgin and part of the Shagohod break off and jump up after you. Eva will drive around the area on the bike distracting it while you are able to shoot back. Aim for the treads and she will circle around behind the beastly machine. Here aim for the back area which is it's weakness and fire RPGs. You will have unlimited ammo so don't worry and keep firing periodically at the treads to hamper it's movement. After you take it down here, Volgin will come out from the machine and gain control with his lightning. You will essentially be repeating the same method as before now, except Eva drives around on the bike while you walk. Simply fire away at the treads and then aim your attacks directly at Volgin himself. Repeat this and you will eventually defeat him FOR GOOD!

Defeat Volgin in a fist fight.


Defeat Volgin in a fist fight.
Story Related. When you meet back with Volgin and get to finally put the bastard down, some major tips will help make it super easy battle. Firstly, throw down a tree frog and he will become distracted by it and chase around until he kills it. Also, if you have the Russian Glow cap mushrooms, they will absorb his lightning attacks as long as they are on the battlefield. Finally, equip Raiden's (Raikov's) mask to confuse him for a few moments and then cause him once he realizes it's you to become REALLY mad so watch out! Otherwise, during the fight, roll and dodge his punches and lightning attacks and fire back at him. No where really to take cover so have to watch out during the fight. Keep in mind, you will only be able to attack Volgin from behind, otherwise your bullets and attacks will do nothing.
:NOTE: Tranqing Volgin unlocks the Cold War camo which has Soviet colors on the front and US on the back. This will cause enemies to hesitate from shooting you when looking at you, but if see your back will fire away aggressively. As soon as you defeat him, the camo will pop out of him and lay nearby in the floor. Quickly acquire it.

The Patriot 
Defeat The Boss.


Defeat The Boss.
Story Related. At the end of the game mostly, you will meet back up with The Boss and have to kill her now. You will fight this battle in a white field area so equip camo to match this environment and hide when you can to sneak off some shots and make her mad. If you try and CQC her, it will result in you getting your ass handed to you so don't try it. Simply take cover when she tries to shoot you with The Patriot and keep firing back when get a chance. The Fake Death Pill won't work her either as she'll simply know it's fake and kick the crap out of you for it. Remember to tranq her for the final camo, The Snake Camo. Nothing really special about this battle, except for the time limit and her counters of CQC.
NOTE: Tranqing The Boss unlocks the Snake camo. It unlike the other special boss camo suits offers nothing special aside from near perfect camouflage.

For this trophy, you will need to get shot by an enemy soldier so that a bullet is lodged in Snake. Go to the Cure Menu, and select the knife to remove the bullet and finish healing it up. YOU MUST FULLY PATCH UP THE WOUND! I also noticed that the trophy wouldn't pop until I exited the Cure menu so don't panic if you sit there for a bit after using the knife and no trophy pop.
NOTE: Removing the bee bullets from the battle with The Pain does not count for this so keep in mind.

Definitely make sure towards the end game scenes that you are looking around as for another trophy you need to spot Ocelot in the view rather than just seeing it by pressing "R1". Refer to the trophy "Cat's Out of the Bag" for more details.

Achieve a camouflage index of 100%.


Achieve a camouflage index of 100%.
To obtain this trophy you will need your Camo Index to read 100% and so that you are perfectly camouflaged. You will have to acquire the Moss Camo from the battle with The End to get an index of 100% so don't expect it until then. Simply wear this camo and crawl around and you should find some spots that match you and will hit your mark. Try staying in low grass or on logs with woodland facepaint or whatever matches environment best and should be fine.
Refer to You Snooze, You Lose for details and tips on how to hold up The End and obtain the camo.

Now lie down flat in a patch of grass on the ground and it should be 90% with this match up. If not, experiment around and you will find some. Such as in the mountains, lie down with the desert camo styles equipped and you should hit your mark.

Beekeper 
Use bees to harass an enemy.


Use bees to harass an enemy.
This trophy can be obtained by shooting a beehive near an enemy soldier, thus causing the bees to attack them. This is easily used to clear paths or create diversions for sneaking around groups of enemies. Easiest point for this trophy is during the Virtuous Mission at the beginning when you come to the bridge. You will notice in the cutscene the beehive overhead the enemy soldier there and can easily shoot it down. He will be attacked and run off and even scare away the guards at the end of the bridge allowing you safe and unobstructed passage.

Just Because 
Blow up a munitions shed with TNT.


Blow up a munitions shed with TNT.
To acquire this trophy, you will need to blow up any ammo dump with some TNT that you come across. Easiest point is in the area where you first find TNT and set some off in the same ammo shed that you find it. Set it and detonate when you're safe distance away and the trophy will pop. This is also helpful to reduce the ammo and or provisions of the enemies making them more susceptible to eating dropped food AND causing a lack of ammo for them.

Mostly Dead 
Use the Fake Death pill.


Use the Fake Death pill.
At the beginning of the game when you can control Snake and get your backpack, you will have an item called the Fake Death Pill. Simply use it and then the revival pill to come back and you will obtain this trophy. If you use the Fake Death Pill and wait too long, you will really die.

Believe It or Not 
Catch a Tsuchinoko (mythical serpent).


Catch a Tsuchinoko (mythical serpent).
Missable Trophy
For this trophy, you will have to capture the Tsuchinoko snake alive during the game. You won't be able to see him at all, but have to lay down mousetraps in an area, leave and come back to see if you caught anything or not. Not sure if it's specific areas as everything leads to it's entirely random, but for all purposes I KNOW you can locate one in the area where you battled The Fear. Put down as many mousetraps as you have gotten a hold anywhere in the area, leave, and come back. You can retrieve your mousetraps infinitely by crawling over them as you would the claymores. When you go to pick them up, if you caught this snake, it'll say something like TNECHNO or similar anyways. Now you will obtain your trophy.
Call Para-Medic to hear what they say about this snake.
NOTE: Now for the Infinity Face Paint, you will have to finish the game with Tsuchinoko alive. However, you will lose it when you get captured and tortured and do NOT get it back when Eva returns your weapons and backpack. You will have to catch it again. If you managed to catch one earlier in the game, it will be on the path outside from the waterfall where you meet with Eva in area, Tikhogornyj. Once you get your gear back from Eva go outside and tranq it again. This time holding on to it for the rest of the game. When you begin playing again on that same save file, you will have unlocked the Infinity Face Paint, also unlocked by acquiring the Foxhound rank.
TIP from GOIVA: If you capture every animal in a location, namely the one with The Fear for example, it makes it easier to capture Tsuchinoko with the mousetraps as there will be no other animals or life to capture in the area.

The Early End 
Kill The End before the boss battle.


Kill The End before the boss battle.
Missable Trophy. To obtain this trophy, you need to take out The End before you actually get to the boss battle with him. During the story after you defeat The Pain, you will come to a cutscene showing Sokolov, Volgin, The Boss and others talking. Here you'll see The End sitting in a wheelchair sleeping and after the cutscene is over you'll be able to shoot him just before the soldiers wheel him back inside. You will have to be really skilled and use your pistol at this point and hit him in the head OR use the Sniper Rifle found just before entering this area in the other path to the left on the river. The sniper rifle is found inside the provisions warehouse in this section, but be sure to grab it because after you enter the cutscene if you leave, The End will go inside. Only have a limited bit of time after the cutscene to try this so save after you defeat the Pain and if you're ready, save after cutscene so you can load and try right from this point. Aim quickly, and you will catch an opening where The End is facing directly at you before they wheel him away. Take your shot and keep firing as soldiers will be alerted when you kill him. If you manage to kill him, later in the game, he won't be waiting for you as you head for the mountain path and can avoid a very time consuming and somewhat difficult battle. Instead, you will fight some GRU soldiers here but nothing to worry about.
TIP: I_NERO_I says that if you destroy the provisions section here, it will affect how fast soldiers will react to protecting The End at this point. Could be helpful if you missed the rifle and need bit of time to try and snipe him with a pistol or AK-47.

You Snooze, You Lose 
Sneak up on The End and hold him up.


Sneak up on The End and hold him up.
Missable Trophy
During the battle with The End, you will face off against him in a sniper battle of sorts in several areas of the jungle. For the trophy, you will need to locate him before he finds you, and "sneak" up on him somehow. Hold him up here and you will obtain your trophy along with the Moss Camo, that will allow for 100% max camo index. You will have to be very sneaky and crawl for most of the battle to get jump on The End. Look for the sniping points that are labeled on the map and watch for glares at top of hills.
I did this twice to see how went. First time he kept spotting me quite a bit, but second time I managed to not get seen at all. I looked for where he was, crawled around and took as much cover behind logs and in grass as I could with the Flecktarn Camo and Woodland face paint equipped. Super easy if you have Stealth Camo from a previous game, but assuming you won't. In the area with the river, you can equip the gator cap and crawl in the water also and he won't notice you. Well you will come up in the scopes, but he'll say something like "Just a croc" or "what a croc" and ignore you. If you stand up, however, you'll take a bullet dart. Also, you can use the fake death pill to make him come out of hiding thinking you're dead, but can only be used one time as he'll fuss if try it again. Found easiest way to locate him by equipping the AP sensor and crawl around. When you come near him, it will go off slowly beeping and more so the closer he is. Be advised that he will hear the beeping if you get too close. If sit and wait for a while, he will sometimes fall asleep and allow you to sneak up on him. When you catch him, walk or crawl over VERY slowly and then point your gun at him to hold him up.
Remember to use the directional mic as well to hear his location if you can't quite find him by seeing a glare on the hills. You can hear him snoring at times and this is best time to try and hold him up, just remember to be extremely quiet when approaching him. Also, you may catch him muttering to himself allowing you to find his location. Catching his parrot and releasing him, it will fly over to his location revealing it if you pay close enough attention.

King of the Jungle 
Obtain title of MARKHOR.


Obtain title of MARKHOR.
You earn the title of Markhor when you complete the game and have captured or acquired every animal and found every plant located in the game. Tsuchinoko and The End's parrot count for this so you will need to obtain them also for the trophy. Will note all necessary animals and plants, etc soon! There are a total of 44 items you need to have acquired, with some being quite rare so try and obtain as soon as possible. For more help on where to acquire each animal, refer to the other trophies for collecting all Snakes, birds, frogs, fish, fungi, and fruit. Locations will be provided for the miscellaneous animals and plants.
Complete List of all required items for Markhor Rank
NOTE: Interesting tid-bit I got from talking with Para-Medic after obtaining some Markhor meat was what the name stood for. Forgot language or whatever she said it was, but means "Snake Eater".

It Ain't Easy Being Green 
Find all 64 Kerotans.


Find all 64 Kerotans.
Missable Trophy
Find all 64 Kerotans located in the game to unlock this trophy. You will also unlock the Stealth Camo as well, which this unlocks as well if you have ZERO alerts throughout the whole game. Listed below are the locations for all 64 kerotan frogs found in the game. There is essentially one for every area, with select areas containing more than one so keep and eye out for each one. The locations are going to be as helpful as possible in detail, but there may be a few that are harder to explain as need to be looking at it the same way as Asuka or myself.
I apologize if you can't find one in an area, but will try to post a video showing each location to be even more thorough. REMEMBER! Save frequently and keep up with ones you have. Also, use the GA-KO camouflage to help in locating each kerotan as it will sound off when you enter an area with a frog you haven't shot yet. If you enter your in-game menu and then exit out, it will resound if a kerotan still resides un-shot. These will carry off into a new game for any that you missed. For example, if you missed only one out of all 64 in Rassvet area in Snake Eater mission, when you replay the game, you will only need to acquire that one. However for the rank and the stealth camo, you need to complete the game. This trophy should pop when you have shot all 64 and shoot the last one in the area with The Boss (unless replaying cause you missed one).
Virtuous Mission Kerotans
Keep in mind these first five kerotans are unobtainable after you complete the part where Snake gets owned by The Boss and concludes the Virtuous Mission. If you miss one OR go through a point of no return, you will have to wait to reacquire it when you replay on the next game.
Snake Eater Mission Kerotans
NOTE: For the next five Kerotans (Dremuchij East - Dolinovodno, you MUST collect them before you go into the room Sokolov was in within the Rassvet area. This is a point of no return! Make your way to Rassvet and collect the AK-47 near the local Kerotan. Then backtrack all the way back to where you began the Virtuous Mission, and activate all of the Kerotans you originally passed up. Once you're positive you've shot all of them, you can proceed with the mission. If you play on VERY EASY difficulty, you will still have your EZ Gun and can shoot them with that. Also, any other special items(like The Patriot) that you have unlocked if playing on a NG+ playthrough you keep as well.
Motorcycle Chase Kerotans
TIP: It is best to save as soon as entering each new area during this part so you can retry to get the kerotans if go and miss them. There will be one in each motorcycle scene you go through so keep in mind. Equip the SVD or RPG and fire away at them as quick and accurately as you can. If can't tell if hit, use the Directional Mic to listen for their noises. Also, keep the GA-KO camo equipped and enter your menu screen and exit back out. If you hear a noise of the kerotans, you still haven't gotten it yet so keep in mind for this.
NOTE:

- Dremuchij South - When you gain control of Snake, move to the right and walk up a path to the to of a hill. Look to the left and you'll find the first Kerotan on an adjacent hill.
- Dremuchij Swamp - Make your way through the swamp. When you reach dry land again, walk to the second patch of tall grass. The Kerotan will be nearby to the right.
- Dremuchij North - Take the second right after you've entered the area. Continue right and make your way through the tall grass until you come across a standing, hollow tree near the edge of the area. The Kerotan will be sitting on this tree, but might not be visible depending on where you're standing next to the tree.
- Dolinovodno - On the left bridge post on the side of the bridge Snake first enters on.
- Rassvet - Near the climbable stairwell on the right side of the area. Stand under the second-floor platform, near a large hole in the wall. Look through the hole to find the last Kerotan in the Virtuous Mission.

- Dremuchij East - near the middle-left portion of the map, the Kerotan will be found under a log.
- Dremuchij North - Climb the tree near the middle of the area. Once you're standing on the branch, turn around. The Kerotan will be on a hill to the right.
- Dremuchij Swampland - Move to the circular patch of land in the middle of the swamp. Make your way to the right (to the landmass in the upper-right corner of the area), and you'll find the Kerotan hiding on the ground next to a tree right on the edge of the swamp.
- Dremuchij South - Move to where you first gained control of Snake. Jump over a log to the left of your location, and move the upper-left corner of the area. The Kerotan will be perched on the top of a hill (it almost looks like it's sitting on a corner from the ground).
- Dolinovodno - On the other side of the bridge that the previous Kerotan was on, only this time it's perched on a hill to the right instead of a post.
- Rassvet - Near the location of the previous Kerotan, this one is found standing between the wall and some cylinders under the stairs leading to the second floor.
- Chyomij Prud - This one can be hard to find, as it is underwater. Begin walking/swimming straight north until you come across a big tree that's near the northern wall of the area. Dive here, and look to the left of the tree base. The Kerotan will be there.
- Bolshaya Past South - When you enter the area, go past the fences and to the North staying on the right paths. This one should be right-center of the northernmost area on the map sitting on the ground in a cluster of trees.
- Bolshaya Past Base - This one will be located inside the center barracks building of the area. When you find the correct building, it will be underneath a desk.
- Bolshaya Past Crevice - This one will take place during the Ocelot boss battle. Simply turn around and look to the left side of the hill behind you. This kerotan will be sitting on the ground here.
- Chyornaya Peschera Cave Branch - This one will be in the same section of this area as you find the Night Vision Goggles and the drop down into the water pit. It sits on the wall in front of this pit.
- Chyornaya Peschera Cave - This Kerotan will be in the area where you battle The Pain, however you can wait until you defeat him to try and shoot it. Climb back up to the entrance of the area and look to the openings in the ceiling of the cave. You should be able to spot it from this point.
- Chyornaya Peschera Cave Entrance - This one will be found on the section that juts out slightly on the path to the left. You will see some supplies and claymores around the area, but the kerotan sits atop a ledge when you stand against the wall here facing back towards the path.

Motorcycle Chase Kerotans
TIP: It is best to save as soon as entering each new area during this part so you can retry to get the kerotans if go and miss them. There will be one in each motorcycle scene you go through so keep in mind. Equip the SVD or RPG and fire away at them as quick and accurately as you can. If can't tell if hit, use the Directional Mic to listen for their noises. Also, keep the GA-KO camo equipped and enter your menu screen and exit back out. If you hear a noise of the kerotans, you still haven't gotten it yet so keep in mind for this.

Like a Boss 
Finish the game on any difficulty.


Finish the game on any difficulty.
You will earn this trophy when you complete the game on any difficulty setting.

PEACE WALKER 
Finish the game without killing anyone.


Finish the game without killing anyone.
For this trophy, you will have to go through the entire game without killing a single soldier. This includes every boss so you'll have to tranq each of them AND can't allow any soldiers to die by anything of your doing, such as moving them when they're knocked out and dropping them OR knocking into water and drowning. You can use the River of Sorrow to judge if you've killed anyone during that first half of the game as they will be spirits here walking past you, but afterwards, you'll have to be careful to make sure no one dies as you have no signs until the end. Easiest way is to play on Very Easy difficulty and use the EZ Gun most often or the M22 tranq gun.
