This is the start of run 1, the full sweep. It covers the prologue: the landing in Dremuchij South, the swamp, the first guards in Dremuchij North, the rope bridge at Dolinovodno and the factory at Rassvet, then the walk back to the bridge and the riverbank where the mission ends. On the way it takes five Kerotans that exist only here, 13 of the 48 food types, the first weapons and the trophies that can be done at once. You start with the Survival Knife, the Fake Death and Revival Pills, the Cigar and the Binoculars; the backpack adds the Mk22 and, on Very Easy, the EZ Gun. Nothing carried here comes with you into the next mission, which begins in the next section.
The 100% route is two runs. Run 1 on Very Easy takes everything: all 64 Kerotans, all 48 food types, every camouflage, face paint and weapon, the boss stamina kills, the hidden views and every trophy that can be lost, with no kills and no alerts. Run 2 on Extreme, a brand-new game rather than one loaded from the run 1 clear, is the FOXHOUND run and stays lean. There is no chapter select and no free roaming after the story, so anything missed in run 1 can only be taken in a later run that passes the same spot, and run 2 has no time to spare and must do without special items such as the EZ Gun. Treat every count (Kerotans, food types, hidden views) as starting from zero in each run. The one menu trophy, for reading the Screenplay Book, is earned from the launcher whenever you like.
Run 1 ends with PEACE WALKER (no kills) and The Coast Is Clear (no alerts), and a clear with no alerts also gives the Stealth camo. Put guards to sleep with the Mk22 or the EZ Gun, knock them out with CQC, or stun them; win boss fights on stamina the same way. Four trophies need a kill: Close Shave, Snake Bit, The Early End and Problem Solved, Series Over. For each one, save first, earn the trophy, then load that save at once: keeping the kill breaks PEACE WALKER. Animals don't count as kills, but leave dogs alive to be safe. An alert still counts if a guard sees Snake in the moment he is being knocked out, and a dog's bark gives only a few seconds before the alert starts.
There are no save points: once you have the backpack, open the Radio and call 140.96 to save. Loading a save puts Snake back at the start of the area he saved in, and a death or a reload can undo what was taken in that area since he entered it (Kerotans, food, items). So in an area where you plan to save, earn something and reload, do that first and collect afterwards, and where the guide can't avoid it, it says what to take again. Run 1 has no limit on saves; only run 2 counts them.
A food type counts for King of the Jungle once it has been in the backpack: caught alive (put it to sleep with the Mk22 or EZ Gun, then pick it up) or killed and picked up as raw meat. Eating it is not needed, and one of each type is enough. The game shows no running total, so tick each type here as you take it. Food from this mission counts toward the 48.
Four trophies come from the guards here, and the last of them is a kill. As soon as you arrive, call 140.96 and save. Earn Mama Said, Tell Me Where the Bomb Is and Like He Just Doesn't Care on the guards, then Close Shave last, and load the save the moment it pops. Collect this area's food, Kerotan and gear only after that reload, since the reload undoes anything taken before it. The guards are back on their rounds after it, so put them to sleep again before you collect. If a guard raises an alert while you work, load the save and try again.
Entering the scientist's room starts a long run of scenes, and afterwards the way only leads back to the bridge, where the mission ends. Nothing from this mission comes with you. Make sure you have these first. Kerotans: Kerotan: Dremuchij South 1, Kerotan: Dremuchij Swampland 1, Kerotan: Dremuchij North 1, Kerotan: Dolinovodno 1, Kerotan: Rassvet 1. Optional gear: Weapon: SVD (Virtuous Mission copy), Weapon: Stun Grenade (Virtuous Mission copy), Weapon: Grenade (Virtuous Mission copy) and Thermal Goggles (Virtuous Mission) in Dremuchij North, Weapon: XM16E1 (Virtuous Mission copy) at Dolinovodno and Weapon: M37 (Virtuous Mission copy) here at Rassvet. The food types taken so far all appear again later, so a missed one isn't lost yet. Don't approach the room during an alert.
If the reload put Snake back at the Rassvet entrance, the Kerotan and the shotgun taken there before the scenes may have been undone with it. On the way back in, stop at the first ruined building: shoot Kerotan: Rassvet 1 through the hole under the stairs again (a frog that was already hit only croaks again) and pick up the M37 if it is lying behind the crates.
Stepping back onto the Dolinovodno bridge with the scientist starts the scenes that end the mission. Finish these at Rassvet first: Problem Solved, Series Over (save, earn it, reload) and the optional Weapon: Mousetrap (Ocelot's). Check Kerotan: Rassvet 1 once more if the reload put you back at the entrance. Every other Kerotan and pickup of this mission should already be in hand.
