Run 1: The Crevice and the Caves

Beat Ocelot on stamina in the Bolshaya Past Crevice, then find a way through the dark Chyornaya Peschera caves, beat The Pain on stamina and come out above the river.
Kerotan: Bolshaya Past Crevice 1CollectibleMissablePoint of no return
Location
Bolshaya Past · Bolshaya Past Crevice – Shoot it first, as the fight opens. Go to the back of your side of the gap and look back across the crevice to the south-east: the frog sits at the foot of a tree on a ledge over there. Use first-person view with the Mk22 while Ocelot reloads, and listen for the croak. If you die or reload, shoot it again in the new attempt.
Why you can lose it
It exists only while the fight lasts: once Ocelot goes down, Snake leaves the Crevice for good. Hit it before you drain his last stamina.
Point of no return
Ocelot's stamina running out: the fight ends with a fall into the Chyornaya Peschera caves, and the Bolshaya Past Crevice can't be reached again in this run.

During the fight, wait for a markhor to wander on Ocelot's side of the crevice and bring it down with a lethal gun such as the AK-47. Animals don't count as kills, but a stray round into Ocelot or one of his men could: if any of them is hit, reload that save. Then switch back to the Mk22.
Why you can lose it
It works only while the fight lasts, and the Crevice can't be entered again afterwards.
Point of no return
Ocelot's stamina running out: the fight ends with a fall into the Chyornaya Peschera caves, and the Bolshaya Past Crevice can't be reached again in this run.

Why you can lose it
Beating him on life instead of stamina loses the Animals camo for this run. If his life bar is falling, reload your last save and fight again.

Location
Graniny Gorki · Graniny Gorki South – At the start, back off a few steps and take the Fake Death Pill. He comes over to look and then turns away: take the Revival Pill, toss a Stun Grenade his way, look away from the flash, and while he is stunned fire the AK-47 into him, which drains only stamina. When he gets up, switch to Mk22 headshots and more Stun Grenades. Once his stamina is under half and he gets hungry, throw him the Fly Agaric (or a Poison Dart Frog) to poison him.
Why you can lose it
The fight's end is the only chance: a lethal win gives no camo. If his life bar is falling, reload the save from outside the lab walls and fight again.

Kerotan: Groznyj Grad Southwest 1CollectibleMissablePoint of no return
Location
Groznyj Grad · Groznyj Grad Southwest – Three tank sheds stand in a column along the west (left) side of the yard. Go to the middle one, marked 67: its two doors are not quite shut, and the frog sits in the gap between them. Shoot it with the Mk22.
Why you can lose it
Groznyj Grad stays open on later walks through it in this run, but it closes for good once the fourth C3 charge goes on in the Weapons Lab hangar, much later. Take it now, while you carry your guns.
Point of no return
Planting the fourth C3 charge on the hangar's fuel tanks. A long scene and a fight follow, and Groznyj Grad and every earlier area are closed for the rest of this run.

Point of no return
Putting Raikov to sleep, by tranquilizer or by choking him out, to take his uniform.

Groznyj Grad · Groznyj Grad Weapons Lab: West Wing Corridor – Just inside the corridor, change into a normal camo, tranquilize both guards from the near end with the Mk22, then look out of the window on your left: the frog sits on top of a pole carrying loudspeakers. Hit it with the SVD. Then put the Officer camo and the Mask back on and wake the guards with a kick before you go on: the story waits until they are awake.

Location
Groznyj Grad · Groznyj Grad Southeast Guardhouse – Near the end of the scene, Ocelot has a last word and turns to walk out. Press and hold the first-person view button (R1 on PlayStation) from that line until he is through the door: The Boss mirrors his hand gesture as he goes. Let the scene end by itself.
Why you can lose it

Groznyj Grad · Groznyj Grad Southeast Guardhouse – Each time the guard pushes a meal in through the hole in the door, pick it up and throw it back out through the hole. After the third one he chats about his family, shows a photo with 144.75 written on the back (hold R1 to read it) and hands over your Cig Gas Spray.

Why you can lose it
The fight is the only chance: drowning or dying before the end finishes it with no camo. If that happens, reload your sewer save and walk it again.

Why you can lose it
The hangar fight is the only chance; a lethal win drops no camo and counts as a kill. If his life bar is falling, reload your last save and fight again; after a reload, shoot Kerotan: Weapons Lab Main Wing 1 again before the fourth charge, and Kerotan: Weapons Lab Main Wing 2 again in the fight.

About this guide

Two runs. Run 1 on Very Easy takes everything: all 64 Kerotans, all 48 food types, every camouflage, face paint and weapon, the boss rewards and the hidden views, with no kills and no alerts. Run 2 on Extreme, started as a new game, is the FOXHOUND run: under five hours, no special items, few saves and almost no damage. The Screenplay Book trophy is earned from the launcher menu, outside the runs.
