Run 1: Dremuchij to Rassvet

Land in Dremuchij East at night, drop into Dremuchij North, sweep back south through the Swampland to Dremuchij South, cross the Dolinovodno bridge and meet your contact at Rassvet, then clear the Ocelot Unit without a kill.

Operation Snake Eater starts here. This stretch runs from the night landing in Dremuchij East to the morning fight at Rassvet, and takes every Kerotan, food type, camo, face paint and weapon on the way. You land with the knife, an M1911A1, Stun Grenades, the Cigar and, on Very Easy, the EZ Gun; nothing else from the Virtuous Mission comes with you. The cliff at the end of Dremuchij East is one-way, so finish that area first. The EZ Gun carries the Kerotans and captures until Rassvet, where the Mk22 takes over. EVA's Radio line opens in the next area, and the last two medicinal plants grow in Svyatogornyj South.

Keep the controller in hand when the song starts

Right after the riverbank, a song plays over the opening credits, once per run. The optional Opening song controls work only while it plays.

Opening song controlsOtherMissablePoint of no return
Location
Virtuous Mission: Dolinovodno · Dolinovodno Riverbank – The song starts once the riverbank scenes end. While it plays, hold the right shoulder button (R1) to add backing vocals, push the sticks to move the credits and spawn shapes, and click a stick to change them.
Why you can lose it
The controls only work while this song plays, and it plays once per run. Try them before it ends.
Point of no return
The opening song ends and the landing in Dremuchij East begins.
Summary
The opening song and credits that follow the Virtuous Mission respond to the controller. A gag, not needed for 100%.

Kerotan: Dremuchij East 1CollectibleMissablePoint of no return
Location
Dremuchij · Dremuchij East – Follow the path north into the first big clearing with grass and trees. On your left (west side) a fallen log rests on stumps like a little shelter: the frog sits inside it. Step to its north side, look down into the shelter in first-person view and shoot it with the EZ Gun or the M1911A1.
Why you can lose it
Dremuchij East can't be re-entered once you drop off the cliff into Dremuchij North. Shoot it before you go north.
Point of no return
Dropping off the cliff at the north end of Dremuchij East into Dremuchij North. There is no climbing back.

Dremuchij · Dremuchij East – From the Kerotan's shelter, cross the clearing to the grass along the back wall opposite. The frog hides in that grass: watch for blades twitching, put it to sleep with the EZ Gun and pick it up. It also swims in the shallows of Chyornyj Prud if it gets away.

Food: Japanese Flying SquirrelConsumable

Dremuchij · Dremuchij East – Face away from the Kerotan's shelter and walk straight across the clearing to the back wall. Between two clumps of grass, a small dark bush with purple berries grows against the wall: pick it. A Slav Horehound, another medicinal plant, may also grow by a thin tree next to a log just south of this bush; take it if you see one, or later in Svyatogornyj South.

One-way drop into Dremuchij North

The path north ends at a cliff, and once you drop off it there is no way back up into Dremuchij East. Finish Kerotan: Dremuchij East 1 first. The Otton Frog, the flying squirrel and the Amur Kudzu turn up again later, but they are easiest here.

Area: Dremuchij NorthArea
Location
Dremuchij · Dremuchij North – Follow the path in Dremuchij East north to the cliff edge and drop down. You land at the east side of Dremuchij North; the clearing lies ahead to the west.
Requires
Summary
The same forest as in the Virtuous Mission, now at night. A forced scene waits in the clearing to the west.

Food: Green Tree PythonConsumable
Location
Dremuchij · Dremuchij North – Just past where you land, before you reach the clearing, a green snake hangs from a branch over the path in plain view. Shoot it down with the EZ Gun and pick it up. Do it before you walk on: the clearing scene starts as you reach it.

The encounter in the Dremuchij North clearingHidden spoiler – activate to revealQuest stepMinor spoiler
Location
Dremuchij · Dremuchij North – Walk west from the python into the clearing to start the scene. When you have control, go prone in the grass in a dark uniform and wait until the guards who come down stop searching. Most guards then stand where the prologue's patrols stood; one new guard watches by a tree east of the first grass patch.
Requires
Summary
A forced scene in the clearing wrecks Snake's pistol and the drone, and guards come to look. Stay hidden until they give up.

From here to Rassvet, the EZ Gun is your only gun

The scene leaves you with the knife, Stun Grenades and, on Very Easy, the EZ Gun. Use the EZ Gun for every Kerotan and capture until Rassvet, and get past guards with it or CQC. Without the EZ Gun, a Kerotan counts only if a thrown grenade itself touches it; otherwise leave the Dremuchij North, Swampland, South and Dolinovodno Kerotans and the King Cobra, take the AK-47 at Rassvet, and walk back for them before you visit the old room there: stepping out of it starts the overnight scene.

Food: King CobraConsumableMissablePoint of no return
Location
Dremuchij · Dremuchij North – From the clearing, go straight ahead into the first patch of grass, under the tree with the Golova fruit (north-east part of the area). The cobra moves about in the grass: put it to sleep with the EZ Gun and pick it up so it goes in the bag alive.
Why you can lose it
King Cobras live only from here to the Bolshaya Past Crevice. Dremuchij, Dolinovodno and Rassvet stay open until you walk into the Bolshaya Past Crevice, but close for this run once you do. Take it on this pass.
Point of no return
Walking north out of Bolshaya Past Base into the Bolshaya Past Crevice. Ocelot's fight starts on arrival and ends with a fall into the caves, so Dremuchij, Dolinovodno, Rassvet, Chyornyj Prud and Bolshaya Past are closed for the rest of this run.
Requires
Summary
One of the 48 food types and one of the 11 snakes. Catch it alive: the next trophy needs a live venomous animal.

Snake BitAchievement
Location
Dremuchij · Dremuchij North – Save on 140.96 first. Equip the live King Cobra like a weapon, sneak within reach of the guard by the tree east of the first grass patch, and throw it at him. Once the trophy pops, reload that save at once: keeping his death breaks the run's no-kill trophy. After the reload, open the Food menu and check both the King Cobra and the Green Tree Python. If the cobra is gone, catch another in the same grass; if the python is gone, look for it again on the branch over the path near where you landed. Shoot the Dremuchij North Kerotan only after the reload.
Requires
Summary
Earned for poisoning a guard with a live venomous animal. The bite kills him, so it is a save, a throw and a reload.

Dremuchij · Dremuchij North – From the King Cobra's grass go right to the one tree you can climb, on your left.

You can also spot it from the north edge of the cobra's grass, looking up to the north-east.

Requires
Summary

Location
Dremuchij · Dremuchij South – A rabbit hops about right beside the markhor. Put it to sleep with the EZ Gun and pick it up. If none is there, rabbits are common later, in Graniny Gorki South and Sokrovenno.
Why you can lose it
Rabbits are last found in Sokrovenno: once you drop into Krasnogorje Mountain Base, none can be caught this run.
Point of no return

Dremuchij · Dremuchij South – From the landing spot, look right (south-west): past a stump and a log with two oyster mushrooms on them is a nook fenced off by a fallen log.

Requires
Summary
Ordinary hand grenades, one of the weapons With All Guns Blazing asks for. This is the first operation copy, so take it even if you picked some up in the Virtuous Mission. They kill: never throw one at a guard, though they are handy for knocking down a Kerotan.

Weapon: Chaff GrenadeWeapon
Location
Dremuchij · Dremuchij South – Climb over the fallen log into the Kerotan's nook. The Chaff Grenades lie behind the tree just below the frog's ledge, among the logs west of the landing spot. If they aren't there, the next ones are by the GA-KO camo at the north end of Chyornyj Prud.
