METAL GEAR SOLID 3: Snake Eater - Master Collection Version

The majority of the achievements are in the order which you will get them except for the collection related ones (collect every fish for example) which are at the bottom.

I ran out of characters so I can’t make it any longer, that is why the Camo collection sections are short, I plan on making a separate guide for that and for Kerotans in the future.

I Can Totally See You
Achieve a camouflage index of +90%

Many ways to get this, it can be achieved right at the start by equipping the Woodland face paint and Leaf uniform then laying down in a bush.

Can I Keep It?
Capture any animal alive

Use a nonlethal weapon or mousetrap against an animal and pick it up, larger animals can’t be captured.

Snake Eater
Eat a snake of any type

Catch a snake, dead or alive, then eat it. Cannibal.

Mostly Dead
Use the Fake Death pill

Go to your backpack and equip the fake death pill in the items tab, then press H/A/X while hovering it in the item quick select menu to use it.

Prince Charming
Shoot a Kerotan for the first time

Shoot one the funny looking green frogs.

Tell Me Where the Bomb Is
CQC Interrogate an enemy

When in melee range of an enemy, hold down B/◯ to grab them and hold them (make sure to keep the left stick centered while in the initial grab animation or else you will slam them). Then press and hold the left stick/L3 to interrogate them.

Close Shave
CQC Slit an enemy’s throat

Mama Said
CQC Slam a guard and knock him out

When in melee range of an enemy, hold down B/◯ while moving the left stick in any direction.

Like He Just Doesn’t Care
Hold up an enemy

Sneak up right behind an enemy and point your gun at him to make him surrender, then go in first person mode and aim at his face or wiener.

Beekeeper
Use bees to harass an enemy

Shoot the beehive that Snake spots with his binoculars in the cutscene when first entering Dolinovodno (the bridge level) just above the first guard. It will fall on him causing the bees to attack.

Young Gun
Submit Ocelot

Unmissable Achievement…you’re pretty good.

Problem Solved, Series Over
Create the Ocelot Time Paradox

Kill Ocelot while he is knocked out after he tries using a technique he has only heard about in the middle of battle. One way to do this is to crouch with the knife equipped and go in first person mode to stab him to death.

Don’t Touch the Sides
Use a knife to remove a bullet

Available after unlocking the cure menu by completing the Virtuous Mission. Sometimes after getting shot, the bullet will get lodged in Snake, open the cure menu in the survival viewer and use the knife on the bullet wound to extract it.

Pain Relief
Defeat The Pain

Unmissable achievement, bzzzz.

Just Because
Blow up a munitions shed with TNT

Plant and detonate TNT inside a munitions shed, there are many of them in the game. Read the “The Early End” achievement guide below for an easy way to get this one.

The Early End
Kill The End before the boss battle

After killing The Pain you will have to swim across a river, at the end of the river there are two paths, make sure you take the left one first, which will take you to Ponizovje West. Here you will find a munitions shed with an SVD and TNT in it. After you are done looting the munitions shed blow it up using the TNT to get the “Just Because” achievement.

After you have the SVD, go back to the river you originally came from and take the other path. After the cutscene finishes use the SVD to headshot the grandpa in the wheelchair. I recommend saving here and loading after killing him as killing him now blocks you from getting some future achievements and good loot, as well as a great boss fight.

Snake Bit
Poison a guard

Capture any of the following venomous animals alive and then equip it as a weapon in your backpack. Press X/◻ to throw it at an enemy. Note that this will count as a kill if you are doing a non-lethal run.

Poison Dart Frog
Emperor Scorpion
Cobalt Tarantula
Coral Snake
King Cobra
Taiwanese Cobra

If It Bleeds, We Can Kill It
Defeat The Fear

Unmissable achievement, I see it!!

Believe It or Not
Catch a Tsuchinoko (mythical serpent)

There are many places you can catch a Tsuchinoko, I recommend Svyatogoryj South. You will need at least one mousetrap. When you enter Svyatogoryj South from the warehouse walk up the hill a little bit and place your mousetrap(s) in the tall grass.

Go back in the warehouse then right back to check on your mousetrap(s). If you didn’t catch it just repeat this until you do. Here is a video showing how to do it:

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

Be sneaky and get right behind The End without him noticing, then point your weapon at him and he should surrender. Keep your weapon pointed at him and he will eventually drop you the Moss uniform which is needed for the “A Good Man Is Hard to Find” achievement.

A Good Man Is Hard to Find
Achieve a camouflage index of 100%

First, make sure you complete the “You Snooze, You Lose” achievement, which is right above. With the Moss uniform and Woodland/Green face paint equipped you can get a 100% camouflage index by laying down in a good green spot.

The End
Defeat The End

Unmissable achievement, do you hear me, snake?

Houston, We HAD a Problem
Defeat The Fury

Unmissable achievement, I see the Earth…

River of Pain
Defeat The Sorrow

Unmissable achievement, did you know that you can see The Sorrow’s corpse during the cutscene after the being thrown off the bridge by The Boss if you look all the way to the left in first person mode?

Fit For a King
Obtain the Infinity Face Paint

Make sure you had the Tsuchinoko (ALIVE!) by doing the “Believe It or Not” achievement (scroll up) when getting tortured by Volgin and losing your items. After you get your items back from Eva from behind the waterfall, go back outside to the waterfall zone and walk straight, there will be a tree on your left with the Tsuchinoko slithering beside it. Capture it again non-lethally with your mk22 and keep it for the rest of the game. You will unlock the infinity face paint for NG+ once you finish the game.

Grounded
Defeat Volgin

Unmissable achievement, did you know that “kuwabara kuwabara” is a Japanese phrase which is used to ward off lightning?

Shagadelic
Defeat Shagohod

Unmissable achievement, here’s some free info on the Shagohod’s armaments:

2x 12.7 mm DShKM heavy machine guns (300 rounds)
1x 12.7 mm DShKM anti-aircraft machine gun (360 rounds)
100-barrel machine gun pod
6x 9K112 Kobra surface-to-air guided missiles

The Patriot
Defeat The Boss

Unmissable achievement. One must die and one must live. No victory, no defeat.

The Cat’s out of the Bag
Catch a glimpse of Ocelot, who’s seen behind the president when he tries to shake Snake’s hand

Do #5 from the “Snake Eyes” achievement below. You cannot get this achievement from doing it in the Demo Theater.

Snake Eyes
Discover all first-person views that are not indicated by the button icon

You cannot get this achievement in the demo theater. There are 6 hidden cutscene first person views in the game, an easy way to the this achievement is to just hold RB/R1 during each cutscene and you will get it without having to worry.

Here are each of the six views:

Hold RB/R1 while Snake is looking over Grozny Grad with his binoculars to see The Boss riding away and as Ocelot walks away to see Tatyana do the Ocelot pose at him
Hold RB/R1 as Ocelot leaves the torture room to see The Boss doing his pose at him
Hold RB/R1 after defeating Volgin when Snake and Eva look at each other to see The Sorrow
Hold RB/R1 after defeating The Boss while the horse neighs to see The Sorrow and The Boss
Hold RB/R1 as President Johnson holds out his hand and look to the left to see Ocelot
Hold RB/R1 as Snake Salutes The Boss’s tombstone to see his tears

Like a Boss
Finish the game on any difficulty

Unmissable achievement, o7

PEACE WALKER
Finish game without killing anyone

Easiest way to get this is to put the game on very easy difficulty and use the EZ gun. Things to consider:

Constant saving is recommended in case you screw up and kill someone so you don’t lose too much progress
You can kill animals, including enemy dogs
You can tranquilize bikers and hovercraft pilots without it counting as a kill
All bosses must be defeated non-lethally
If a vulture eats a tranquilized enemy it will count as a kill so be aware of that
You need to use explosives to get Volgin to come out of the Shagohod to get to phase 2

The Coast Is Clear
Clear the game without entering Alert Mode (not including events where Alert Mode is mandatory)

Easiest way to get this is to put the game on very easy difficulty and use the EZ gun and stealth camo if you have it. Things to consider:

Save upon entering each new area, if you are detected, take a fake death pill to go to the menu and load the save
If you want to practice an area you can use the fake death pill to suicide quickly, just press continue as you normally. Once you are confident in completing it go to the menu and load your save.
Caution mode does not count as an alert
