Can I beat Metal Gear Solid 3 as a Ghost?

[@SuperCosmicSpaceMagnet]

There's something so funny to me about perfect Ghost Snake being so careful and meticulous to be silent and unseen, and then absolutely BLASTING his way through all the doors.

[@TheKrzysiek]

Ghost run is my favorite way of playing MGS4, thanks to Octo-camo and Face-camo, giving you consistently very high camo index

[@TBrizzle01]

I appreciate MGS4's gameplay more these days. Unfortunately the cutscenes outweigh it. Octocamo is a huge improvement for game flow. I haven't play MGS4 on hard or extreme in a decade but you can get away with not using facecamo on solid normal. I was able to do no alerts without covering up Snake's face. The only thing Facecamo is missing is a young Snake with solid eye.

[@Brandon-bd9ig]

i always disabled the auto camo feature and had different camo's saved so i had to choose my own camo

[@SaltedMallows]

@@TBrizzle01 Some people dislike the cutscenes but it's one of my favorite parts. If you look at the progression of the series, Kojima's love for film, and this being the final chronological core MG game it had to be that way.

[@Old_Soul_Shimi]

I *love* the ghost playstyle. It's such a test of patience and skill. I always play my Metal Gear games that way, except I'm NOT at all that good. Never have been, and as I get older it becomes harder. But I love attempting it every time I play. It's exciting to be in the middle of a camp and no one suspects you're there. It's exciting to be so close to the enemy, yet so out of mind that you don't exist. Makes night tag with the boys exciting too!

[@zzodysseuszz]

Not skill. Only patience. My first playthrough of mgs2 for example I had only 4 detections and it’s bc of some bullshit UAV’s during the Emma escort section. I had never played the game before, went in blind, didn’t watch a guide and was very impatient and I still got essentially ghost asides some ridiculous uav’s off the corner of the screen. I also had 14 continues just from the ridiculous gap you need to jump after the harrier fight. Like wtf was that shit

For the scientists, you should be able to equip a non suspicious weapon or item like the cigs or something, and then aim it while walking around them so your back is always turned to them the entire time

About the scientist's. Use the cigarette gas-spray-gun. You just have to hold it to your mouth, then you can walk around them by showing your back to them. But be careful, guards can be triggered by that.

[@aarondesch]

The only part of the game that needs to be "ghosted" is the Virtuous Mission. The Kremlin knew about Operation: Snake Eater

[@Antifrost]

True, the Major says that they need to know you were there to prove America's involvement after the first section of the game. Still, it makes for a fun challenge to extend it to the whole game, and it's kinda fun to imagine the consequences it'd have on the story if Snake was too good at his job.

This is why I prefer the gameplay in MGS1, 2, PW, and V. It's easier to sneak in with just movement, which should be the basis for stealth. Good stream anyways

[@faeronix]

Currently got an ulcer on my uvula causing it to swell. And this video helped not only with my 3-2-1 gulp with the timer, due to my uvula making drinking uncomfortable.

‘Metal Gear Solid Vee’ is killing me, but amazing video none the less

[@sethpayne5532]

Thats the intended title :) V for Venom

[@RetroKane]

It's the only title with a "roman numeral" instead of a regular number, and Peace Walker was originally going to be MGS5 MGSV is indeed MGS "Vee"

[@Bocchi-the-Rock_]

Everyone who watches this likely knows it's a numeral for five, however it's still "v" in English. You could say either without it being "incorrect" even if we're well aware that it's indicated as a number. That can happen with humans, and it's only more likely with simplistic characters like "two lines meeting at a point" which is what V is, or likewise "two lines with another connecting them halfway down" which is an A. If you've ever drawn a triangle, you can easily draw these letters, and might end up doing so, even if you've never spoken or heard a language that uses them

[@Luggruff]

Hideo Kojima has said himself that it isn't MGS5, but MGSV. The MGSV logo also looks very similar to INGSOC logo from Orwell's '1984', where it means Victory, and the V games reference 1984 a lot (at least the phantom pain). V also stands for Venom, as in Venom Snake.

Major Zero's description of a ghost is inaccurate, as you repeatedly encounter a ghost who is not remotely untraceable

[@aggressivequack9074]

Not sure if its true but I think sometimes when u crawl fast some guards and bosses can still see you. the end can sometimes shoot you even with high camo if your fast crawling. ofc not sure if this is true coding wise but might be fun to test. cheers and good run as always

[@nakedsnake4248]

One thing you forgot to use is the lock on button with cig spray. You can strafe past the scientists and engineers Edit: with ur back turned so they dont see ur face

[@sm0g-810]

Yes you can literally be a ghost. Just equip stealth camouflage

[@jokerofspades-xt3bs]

And use the sorrow camo

[@adrianalexanderveidt344]

I get fights like Ocelot or the Pain, and even the Fear, but using guns and grenades against the end definitely leaves a trace in a situation where you didn't have to.

[@hafidzahmadmurad3668]

Love the editing. Keeps things interesting.

[@karras6239]

There is a way go past the scientist using the cicarettes with the sleeping gas, if you equip them and get ready to shoot but dont, you can force snake to keep an orientation but move in all directions, that way you can walk sideways or even backwards facing away from each scientist and they wont say anything. Still awesome run.

[@hatad321]

Even easier is scientists don't call the alarm for the cardboard box, they get fascinated by it

[@darkride196]

AFAIK the only pre-mgsv game that won't let you have no traces is MGS1.

[@MetalGear_Markie]

This is interesting because I love the tactic on UE Is using enemy line of sight to mislead their line of patrol and you cant even do that with this example

[@TheColosiss]

I've played MGS3 too many times to count. This was a pleasure to watch. This is a very interesting challenge and I'm going to give it a shot next time I get the urge to play another time.

[@benstewart4900]

I can't wait for the remake of MGS3 as someone who's never played a Metal Gear game before. I tried playing the normal version but the controls are super weird and frustrating to play with so I never finished it.

23:40 yeah i guess scientist outfits counts as "not disturbing" i thought you were gonna be bold and somehow pull off not using it all the way to his office downstairs but that definitely would've been frustrating trying to navigate such a small area without it

[@Ginger_bit]

Why does spider camo use high stamina? Never played mgs3, but isn't it just a suit?

[@Based_nobark]

Special camos have different effects for example the fly camouflage makes enemies unable to knife you because if they get too close they're swarmed with flies

[@BigBossPW1974]

It's a trade-off. It gives you an extremely high camo index or percentage in any area, at the cost of high stamina drainage. It is also reminiscent of the boss you get it from, The Fear, as he is invisible when he's in the trees but periodically drops down to eat and recover stamina.

[@Cyberian_Khatru]

"am I gonna trigger the trap by crawling underneath it?" bro forgot how the intended experience goes ☠ great run though, managed to learn a few applicable things for my next playthrough that said, and I don't mean to rain on your parade, I feel like this is unnecessarily restrictive. Like, not allowing misdirection with magazines/bait undercuts a lot of avenues; and even knocking on a wall which technically leaves no trace. idk the conditions on mgsv (which was the inspiration) but that seems past the spirit of ghosting a mission, pun intended. But maybe you thought that was way too easy.

[@nadrewod999]

Before doing this run, it might have been good to look up the wiki about all the face paints and uniforms in MGS3 so that you could have an idea about which ones could be feasibly grabbed in a No Traces run and which ones would be nonviable.

[@Big.Joe.Grizzly]

Jaguar King is a legend.. this is dope

[@munmunyee]

I feel like for a "no traces" run, which is based off the ideas that Special Forces aren't even allowed to poop, you should be allowed to use the game mechanics and toss snakes in their containers like frisbees. What's the sentry going to tell his commanding officer in the report, which sounds more of a natural cause? "I got judo thrown and suddenly knocked out." "A jungle snake crept up on me and bit me." Obviously, you can't discharge a firearm, because not only are you going to (supposedly) hit a target in their vitals, but also because of the trace of gunpowder and the spent case (which you can't pick up in the game), so even shooting bees/hornets nests would be a fail (just restablishing boundaries since environmental interaction is being modified). Obviously, the exclusion to this rule is during bossfights, in which since you're already "spotted" (esp during Ocelot), you already are expected to shoot back (such as Shagohod and Eva chase), at which point if it's okay for those boss fights, then the rest should be okay as well since it's a slippery slope. Although, I feel like hunting markhors would no longer be allowed due to leaving behind a carcass irl that will show signs of being skinned and butchered. Ramen, calorie mates, and rations would be permissable on the lore reason that it would be plausible that Snake would pass by a rubbish bin when sneaking indoors. Everything after Volgin happens in one straight shot, so it would make sense for Snake and Eva to temporarily place the litter in their extra pockets (or clothing) until they got off the WIG on landing in Alaska.

I feel like mgs3 leaves the most ambiguity about this criteria. You can toss live animal cages in this game, and even kill enemies using poisonous animals. This wouldn't "leave a trace" of YOU. this game has the magazine that will distract guards, this also doesnt leave a trace of YOU.

[@spyrochrisgaming]

No Traces in MGSV actually allows you to be suspected of being there by the enemy. In other words, white exclamation points are allowed. Red ones are not. Great video nonetheless!

[@SMiles.21]

Pretty sure you can also hold people up and still get no traces too. I guess he just did no traces extreme? 😂

[@spyrochrisgaming]

@@SMiles.21 yep, this is essentially an extreme version of No Traces. And yes you can hold up people and get No Traces. You can also use a box with a half naked lady/anime girl printed on it and make them run to you, then unequip it (don't "shed away" the box) and go around them to hold them up. Since you didn't shed the box, it counts as leaving no traces behind.

.... I did. Listen, for ANYONE that wants to beat MGS3 without ever being seen, just do european extreme. Dont think of it as impossible, think of it as training. If you can get through European Extreme without getting seen, you can be a ghost in every difficulty of the game. (Edit: Also, totally unrelated, but if you never listened to the Codec, you'd already know this guy was screwing up. Dont move fast, not even when crawling. To silently and slowly move and crawl, no analog stick will help, only directional buttons. Your camo index will flicker as you move. Standing and running like a total moron is going to get you spotted, while slowly and quietly crawling will not even flicker the camo index, where it will matter most.)
