I forgot how much I hated the level where you follow the guy whistling. That level blows!

Blows more when doing the BBE lol. I'm starting mine tonight after i finish A5.

just the second form has to be beaten non lethal to get no kills. When she is in full costume, or all teh beasts for taht matter, open fire and kick ass. When she leaves the costume, thats when you need to switch.

Nope only Their Psych Bar can be Depleted & which you have to Do to get the Doll.

[Dave-The-Rave]

You forgot on Big Boss Extreme lol, but the trophy for that is the Ipod songs, you'll need the BBE to get the last ipod song and the FaceCamo(I think.)

So Far right now I'm doing the Chicken Emblem along with 21 other emblems. I remember doing centipede and spider individually so that's two playthroughs there, can't remember the rest.

You must be using the same guide as me then.

Makes me a little sad that MGS4 was my first MGS game. I played all the other ones (except portable ops... I hate the gameplay in that one... Dragging soldiers to my truck? No thanks!). One of my favorite video game franchises for sure.

EDIT, just saw this picture. Looks like MGS5 to me. I know it's a fox engine demo but we know MGS5 is going to happen. I mean the character is wearing an eyepatch. That's a semi-old graying Big Boss.

yeah it's pretty obviously thats MGS5 in some form, Kojima is sneaky

is it this one?. I really hate that emblem, well I got 761 kills just on the first act lol and I haven't even gotten close to fighting Laughing Octopus. I can't wait for that BBE run though, brings back memories.

[Equinoqs]

I'm going for the Pigeon no-kill emblem on this first playthrough because I find it to be more fun & challenging than just shooting everyone, plus it's just how I want my Snake to be. I've been trying to do the no-alert emblem, too, but after 6 tries at the end of Act 1's Middle East/Downtown area I think I'm gonna give up on that goal. It's starting to drain the thrilling fun out of the game.

Oh, I'm using the guide on the PS3trophies site...got just over 30% of the trophies on Chapter 5 now, just fulfilling the requirements for some emblems now before I finish my first playthrough.

im Confused as I got like 8 Emblems on my 1st playthrough (Eagle Rank) but I know I didn't satisfy The Requirements for some of them ??

[emmerich]

I only got Scorpion on my first run through..

[Ghost-Rhayne]

I got about 7 or 8 emblems on my first. I wasn't really trying, it was just my "welcome back" play through...Main goal was to get solar gun for the BBE which im doing now.

Chicken emblem is just too long to deal with, might as well get that out the way first so I can play the game the right way afterwards. At times I do find myself sneaking around. lol

I thought about using that one, but I remember reading this guide back in the days and It went really smooth.

[Ghost-Rhayne]

Act 1 done for BBE, about 45 mins.

[emmerich]

I started the chicken emblem last night I'm up to the start of Act 3 with about 12 hours played and I already feel like I'm just sitting around doing nothing for large parts of the game. I'm most likely going to leave it on over night on the pause screen or something towards the end cause I doubt I'll be able to go on for 35 hours otherwise. I'm also trying to clear up a few other emblems in the process of the chicken emblem run.

[Dave-The-Rave]

I've just got my PS3 running beside me atm just before the Screaming Mantis boss fight to finish up the 35 hours, almost there I think.

Seriously though, if someone ever got Chicken Emblem on this game they must be incredibly shit !! I spent almost an hour earlier dying 50 times to get the 50 continues for it !! Not sure I have enough alerts yet though.

I got all the alerts out of the way and spent about 4 hours doing it last night in Act 2 right before you meet up with Drebin for a second time and the monkey whips Snakes cigarette off his hand. I also got the kills and headshots out of the way for other emblems at this part too as they keep respawning at that hill with the MG at the left.

The only thing I have to do now is to continue 50 times before the end of the game (and play for 35 hours.. god) and I know exactly how I'm going to get that out of the way. I'm going to shoot Meryl 50 times during the Mantis fight. That does work right?

I'm not sure how many emblems I have got through or will get through but I'm hoping to get most of the ridiculously time consuming ones out of the way. Like, crawling for ages, crouch walking for ages, hiding in box/drum for ages, etc.

edit: Anybody got any tips on the quickest way to get 50 continues from Act 3 and onwards? If my plan above isn't the quickest way I'd like to know of it.. after I accomplish that I'm leaving my PS3 on all night and all day to get rid of the last 20 or so hours before finishing up the remaining possible emblems that I have on my radar.

I dunno, but really messed up by leaving a lot of these emblems til the very end. Not a lot of opportunities in Act 5 to do them. For the 50 continues I just had to let the Frog soldiers kill me over and over at the beginning of Act 5..very tedious.

Some of the kills came from Act 1: before you meet Meryl, and after about 2hrs or 3 of just grinding down kills/hold ups/knifes, my 2nd location was at the confinement facility. That's where I racked up 12k DP/kill and Did the rest of my kills. lol(I'm up to 2million DP now.). I just finish Killing Raging Raven, this is my stats so far.

In HRS.
Total Play time: 28:33
Continues: 0 (Doing this on Act 5, by shooting Meryl 51 times :/ lol.)
Alert Phases: 301
Total Kills: 1427
Recoveries: 62
CQC: 364
Headshots: 652
knife kills/knockout: 211
Wall Press 2:30
Sideways Rolls: 233
Foward Rolls: 1011
Crawling: 2:33
Crouch: 7hrs
Drum Oil: 1:18
Combat High: 14

So that's about 19 emblems I've pretty much completed, which leaves me with 3 left. Easy but annoying.

[Dave-The-Rave]

Completed it last night for the Chicken emblem..love the description for it..basically calls you a disgrace.

[emmerich]

I'm on Act 4. Just sitting doing nothing right now. Think I'll leave it on here for a good while (over night most likely).

I found a great way of dying 50 times quickly. Raging Raven boss fight. Just jump off the building 50 times (I did 52 to be sure). Took me about 30 mins.

I'm about 15 hours in so another 20 hours of doing jack shit before I start moving lol.

[emmerich]

Sorry for the double post here but I have ran in to an issue.

I left my game on over night and when I returned to it the time had not passed. It was the same time it was when I left it and it's been on for at least 6 hours straight wth snake being hugged up against a wall in the corridor just before the Mantis fight.

Am I unable to waste time like this on Act 5 or something?

The time doesn't update until you go into a new area.

[emmerich]

[John25]
