Easy way to capture Tsuchinoko MGS3

[@gorillaisdork8319]

Wouldn't your items and food would be lost after you get captured by Volgin? How to catch tsuchinoko after that as you get to keep your belongings.

[@XenoNero]

After the scene with Eva behind the water fall go back and right around the first tree you will see Tsuchinoko crawling but only if you capture it before this. Use Mk22 to put to sleep and capture again. Use thermal goggles if you have trouble seeing it.

@@XenoNero Thanks. Will try this on my fourth playthrough of MGS3. I could never capture that elusive 🐍 and now I can.

[@XenoNero]

@@gorillaisdork8319 hope it works out for you 🫡

[@chrisseger2346]

​@@XenoNeroAccording to the Wiki, it isn't visible with thermal goggles. Having never found it myself, I cannot attest.

[@XenoNero]

@@chrisseger2346 only visible during that area after the waterfall if you caught it previously before

The attention to detail in this game is absolutely incredible.

[@XenoNero]

One of the all time greats

Paramedic: "wow, a legendary Tsuchinko! It's one of a kind!" Snake: "... So... How does it taste?"

[@matttiberius1900]

Paramedic told me off for eating it.

It’s crazy that you can’t skip the whole boss fight by killing The End early. The replayability is Endless 😂😂

[@TheHeavenlyDemonSupreme]

I typically just put a mouse trap down on the right-most pathway after swimming past the alligators/leeches in that small section right after the EVA/Ocelot scene that she opens the route with her motorbike. Then I continue on and load in the next area, come back, and see what was caught. I like that one because it's a lot earlier in game progression.

[@mosessin]

Maybe, the tsuchinoko should come to Super Smash Bros. too.

[@THEREEKING]

Thanks

[@SunBunz]

Thanks for this! I remember finding it at some point after defeating “The End” but couldn’t recall where. I thought it was by the creek.

[@XenoNero]

No problem! I got lucky and got it on the first try.

[@SunBunz]

@@XenoNero me too! 😁

[@MatthewBester]

I always got it where you fight the fear. Always worked there also.

[@Jamesharveycomics]

Nice Tsuch', brah

[@josephpapa0]

good looks

Is button sensitivity an issue with the ps5 controller? like when you aim down your sight

[@XenoNero]

For mgs3 I noticed it can be a little buggy sometimes but nothing too serious for me. The controls are a little strange compared to other games that take getting used to.

[@TheHeavenlyDemonSupreme]

The button sensitivity mechanics from the PS2 were swapped out for a dedicated aim button; you click the left stick in and he readies/unreadies the weapon accordingly.
