Just play through it without worrying about secrets or anything first time. The fun is in playing it, then finding out the secrets after enjoying the game first time

16 hours was my first playthrough. Second was 6, and the only thing I did was skip the cutscenes. lol @ 10 hours of cutscenes xD

Edit » SHANE = FOXHOUND YAYAYAYYA :D



Shooting straight into a Big Boss Emblem run. Keep the momentum goin' and get it over the next few days. :D

lol, Yay for Shane!
Or FoxHound! ^?

I'm so proud *goes to do act one on Boss*

... *Also points at sig*

I'd make it my av, but Quierta would kill me

Edit » And launching into it I go. Act 1 finished on Boss Extreme with 0 kills/alerts/health/continues/special items.

I got a question: I stunned a FROG when they were hanging off of a wall and she ended up falling to the ground and dying. Does that count as a kill?

Yes. It counts as a kill. It's one of those fiddly shit scenarios Watch out for Drebin's truck too. Just CQC throw them to stun them.

Edit » I always wondered why Tyndis used the Laugh and Scream bullets and the Solar Gun so much. Just realised you can't buy tranq bullets on Boss Extreme. Oh *bleep*.

I'm pretty sure Falling frogs don't count, a guide in the walk through section said so anyway. And I didn't get any kills in Act 1 (though not sure if I actually shot any on the walls)

Shane, I don't see why you didn't get the BB rank?
Why'd you only FH?

FoxHound is for 0 kills/alerts/continues/health/special items on Big Boss Hard. The BB Emblem is for the same achievements on The Boss Extreme, which is what I'm attempting now. Act 1 took me 45 minutes. Might be cutting it a bit fine towards the end with times like that. Gotta speed up a bit.

I'm 100% certain they do. I knocked one off a wall and it counted.

Edit » I'm being caught by a lot of PMC's who weren't there on Tyndis' speed run. Wtf is he up to?

EditEdit » Act 3... wtf? It's the easiest act in the game. Until you hit boss extreme It's so hard to get anywhere. Tranq's only knock soldiers out for about 2 minutes. You have to pull it off perfectly or you're not goin' anywhere. =( This is gonna take a while...

EditEditEdit » Wolf is awful hardhardhard. Well.. wolf isn't. It's trying to keep away from the FROGs long enough to get a good shot on her that's hard. The Tranq doesn't knock them out for NEARLY long enough. Probably long enough to get 2 shots on Wolf, if you're quick.

Edit⁴ » I love how I'm saying all these things are so hard, then coming back an hour later to say I've done them. My perception of hard is warped.

One during the MGS1 dream on the helipad, and another in the same spot during Act 4.

I got chaffs in the room where you fight Laughing Octopus.

No you didn't.

- Confinement Facility on Act 2
- Marketplace on Act 2, right to the left of the last gheko
- Shadow Moses Helipad
- Apparently you can get some from Akiba in Avant Plaza at the start somehow too.

I think there's another location. Can't remember where though.

I'm on Act 5 now in my Boss Emblem run. 2:30 so far. Only hard parts now will be The Bow, Mantis and Ocelot. Which is everything I have left to do. The Bow I'll manage prett easily. Might get killed a few times on Mantis with no rations. Liquid might take me a few attempts too. I don't see anything stopping me dead in my tracks from here on out though.

The Shadow Moses Helipad during the MGS1 dream.
You get on there, and you get another one in the same spot when you get there outside of the dream.

You're not allowed keep those. Only the ones you get in the real thing at the beginning of the Act.
