Yeah I cant do this anymore, I have to join your Patrion. Youve added so much value and expertise to many of my platinums that it's only fair. The universe is out of ballance and I will correct it. A sincere thank you as always from all us trophy hunters. Happy New Year!

[@jacobteague635]

You're literally the most insane trophy hunter on KZbin. Your guides/walkthrough are unbelievably good, it's actually crazy. I loved that little trophy story you gave us at the end there, I felt like a kid again with storytime 😂 Happy new year mate!

Legend bruv! Such a good walkthrough, big ups 🙌🙌

[@tylerrobertson6228]

I’m gonna have to join your patrion because you’re honestly the best trophy guide channel on KZbin and the only I look for when playing games. So many new games to come and I know you’ll cover them all, I used your guides for resident evil games and now this classic, it’s been so long since I played it. Hope to see your channel keep growing

[@Optinooby]

Thanks you mate, always happy to assist ;)

Once again man, this guide is amazing, got the platinum for MGS 3 last night, so much easier then MGS2. Thanks man

[@astarpery6260]

been looing forward to watching this even though i dont have the remastered versions with trophies! Just want to enjoy the playthrough as you really demonstrate how these games should be played - and of course, I enjoy the jokes within the commentary! One to watch whilst i get ready to sleep! Happy New Year!

[@Isminha]

Hello. Thanks to your MGS2 guide I got the platinum. Now I will use this one. I am Spanish and I don't understand very well. At the beginning you say that if you pause the game the time continues counting? In the written guide it doesn't say anything so I prefer to ask. Thanks and sorry for my english

[@Optinooby]

@@Isminha Yes i think it does, but there are a lot of saves, so it's not too bad to reload a save if you think you have taken too long since the last save

[@Isminha]

@@Optinooby Hello. Sorry for the inconvenience. I didn't get the Kerotans trophy. Do I have to collect them all again? Or when I get the one I'm missing in new game plus, will I get the trophy? thanks

[@Optinooby]

@@Isminha Think its the one you're missing if you which it is, I should have said somewhere

[@leoda_lion4107]

The trophy achievements for this game are not hard to get. However trying to do it in one go is got to be a tedious headache. The hardest part is getting all the keratins and for some damn reason, the developers wanted to troll us by putting them in the worst section in the middle of the chase at the end. Just so you have to replay a certain section to make sure you got the damn thing.

[@Optinooby]

There is no requirement to do it all in one go, follow this in 2 or even 3 playthroughs if you wish ;)

[@BrianD0313]

Great job on the playthrough! You made the Torture Scene escape so simple! The only part I struggled with was The Pain fight. For The Fury, you could save a bit of time by at the start by running in the direction you go but you want to find him first and get three shots off. Then go to your hiding spot. For The Boss fight, an alternative would be to go Snow Camo and snipe her from a distance with the Nagant. Now I'm unsure if you have enough time to get her camo so you might have to finish the fight with your CQC strat. I think this strat is a bit safer for us slow-response people that struggled with the CQC part. How many safety Saves do you think you had to make in regards to Food/Frogs? I counted 4 during the chase scene so anyone planning on just doing FOXHOUND run could use those saves in different spots.

[@Optinooby]

I dont even recall mate, but you could check the text guide for all the details

[@OBraveNewWorld]

Would this guide also work for the PS vita version of this game? Or are there differences between the ports?

[@Optinooby]

I still collect all the animals and finish the game with the live Tsuchinko which I think are PS3/Vita requirements but not Master Collection version. Let me know the different trophies exactly and I can let you know

[@dpacc88]

You missed the Splitter camo on the ledge in Bolshaya Past South...how did you unlock the trophy?! Also just remove your supressors during boss fights.

[@Optinooby]

I didnt miss it, it just spawns in a few spots, we get it in a different spot. We unlock the trophy by getting all the camos still, quite a few can spawn in various spots. Ive just always got that camo on pretty much, either way you have to switch something around, unequipping silencers is another option i guess ;)

[@Optinooby]

If you're following something else alongside me, I would just advise following the other guide and ignoring this one. A lot of times I do things differently to other guides due to optimisation or the other guide not knowing stuff. So if you come into mine with information from other guides, you may find a lot of conflicting info with what you think you read elsewhere. You may be telling me again later that I missed something else for example. I always advise to just follow mine and forget what you've read elsewhere, I mean you already think I missed a camo and you believed the other guide over mine!!! ;) Its no problem mate and understandable, whatever's best for you really ;)

[@Optinooby]

This is where we get it btw, taken from my text guide: - KRASNOGORJE MOUNTAINTOP RUINS - 1 - Equip the Spider uniform again. 2 - Camouflage - Uniform - Splitter - Head south down the trench and climb out as soon as possible to evade the guard to the west. Then keep going southeast and you will eventually slide down a brief hill and land beside this. 3 - 40/64 Kerotan - From the uniform, this is on the ledge slightly to the south. Equip the Animals uniform to shoot this and then switch back. 4 - Now head back up the hill slightly and enter the first red door you reach.

[@Daddydaft]

You the man opti.. Cheers mate. I had a lot of downtime this weekend so knocked out MGS1 following your guide now onto MGS3.. I will probably skip mgs2 altogether because I don't feel like going through VR missions again lmao. I would rather play through and get big boss rank several times than have to torture myself through vr again.. But as always, top notch guides my friend.

[@SSJ4LEWY]

Apparently, you can pause the timer if you suspend the game and launch something else. Not tested it yet, though

[@Optinooby]

That works for every game mate, rest mode and suspend via opening a media app

[@Pharmmacy]

Hi, I have a problem with two of the trophies, the first (FOXHOUND) and the second (The Coast Is Clear) Does your manual contain these trophies?

[@Optinooby]

Everything in 1 playthrough for the Master Collection version

[@MontyPlays33]

I mean where do i even start, what an incredible job you have done here. the way you explain everything, and the clearity of the walkthrugh is just amazing. and your accent and the way you narrate is making the video more satsfaying, thank you so much for all the work you have done. Hope you get well soon and be safe. Just a small question : for the trophy "obtain the title Markhor" how to do it. or what should we do since we will get the rank Fox in the end?

[@Optinooby]

@@MontyPlays33 Stealth should only affect Fox rank, but you've already done that

Gonna start this tomorrow. I read on another guide that the timer doesn’t stop when you pause the game, but then I also read that if you pause the game using L1/R1 then it does freeze the time?

[@Optinooby]

im sure i mention it all at the start, we make enough saves that you can redo sections quite easily if you mess up

[@ErPuffo]

Hi, if I push continue by mistake, can I just reload the save ?

[@Optinooby]

Yea that should work if i remember

[@ErPuffo]

Ok thanks, and I can use letal weapon in boss fight ?

[@Optinooby]

If trying to do plat in 1, you cant use lethal except for where its scripted

@@Optinooby I actually already did the run without killing, I just wanted to know if for the foxhound rank I could kill the bosses

[@Optinooby]

@@ErPuffo Oh ok, in that case sorry i dont remember mate ;). I remembered its required for something and we do it in the guide, but cant recall if thats for a separate trophy or for Fox as well, you may have to goolge it

[@mcnolo88]

Hi there Opti! One question before starting this guide; could the timer stops if I go to the ps main menu? Or if I shut down or suspend my ps5?

[@Optinooby]

Unsure, but rest mode should stop the timer.

[@FlanMesh]

"Your Russian is impeccible" The cardboard box has two helpful uses that I don't think you mentioned. 1, the scientists will react to you as a scientist but won't alert or kick over the cardboard box while you're in it. 2, if The Fury sets you on fire then quick equipping then unequipping the box will put out the flames. Also in case anyone is wondering, Calorie Mate is available to buy in most convinience stores in Japan. It looks and tastes quite a lot like a shortbread biscuit, but you can get different flavours such as chocolate and maple syrup. They only cost about £1. When I did this on the ps3 I missed the kerotan in The Pain boss room and when the trophy didn't pop I assumed I missed one on the bike section so I did the whole thing again and again and again.... did not enjoy!!!!

[@Optinooby]

I mentioned the Fury thing mate with box, didnt mention the box with the scientists and guards to get close as i dont like to use that as it can be tricky without practise

[@FlanMesh]

Then I must sincerely apologise and hope you forgive me...With skills like these I wouldn't even hear your vengeance coming.

Hey Opti, you said in the beginning that you only saved 23 times, but at the end it says 25. Did I miss an explanation somewhere? I made an extra save by the electric fence/cardboard box area where you suggested it might be helpful. Now I’m wondering if I need to skip a save to hit 25 exactly and not go over.

[@Optinooby]

No 2 were mistakes which you didnt see. You only see me save 23 times, I think I had to move a save or something

[@Optinooby]

The text guide should be helpful to check where i save

[@nickp5628]

Ok good to know. Thank you for everything as always!!

[@LaSagames]

Hey mate, quick question: you said after The Pain that on NG+ it could be useful, so could I do a Foxhound run on NG+ and use the camos of the bosses? Does it make much of a difference aside from this fight?

[@Optinooby]

It will make the pain a little easier as the hornets wont attack you. Just dont use the stealth, infinity wig or EZ Gun as they void Foxhound

[@LaSagames]

@@OptinoobySorry my message missed some words 😅 Thanks for the answer, does any other boss camo could come in handy or is it really useless to go for Foxhound on NG+?

@@LaSagames They will help a little mate, dont think it makes a massive difference, i would just do it on NG

How do you always have 3/4 of a silencer? In at the end boss fight.... did all head shots like you and i only have a 1/2 of silencer left... just wondering
