Okay, thanks! So if I do the GZ mission, collect some patches, and than leave without completing it, would that count?

Really finish it? As in, play it through until the credits, even if I only want to get some patches?

Information wise yes, song wise no.
These are cassettes and will have to be obtained to get the information trophy

- "Resurgence" [Deja Vu] or "Theme of Tara" [Jamais Vu]
- "Here's to You"
- "ZOE2 'Beyond the Bounds' "

ZoE theme is by far the best track on the album, good to see Kojima has solid tastes

Here's a list of all my shitty S ranks on Hard for reference:

Spoiler: click to toggle

There's room for improvement on all of them, but the game says 'S' so, that's it for now. If anyone wants to know which routes I used or needs gameplay advice, lemme know.

20 hours in total playtime so far, yeesh. Proud to say I did get by on my own strategies, though, and only resorted to any kind of guide or help for that 9th XOF patch and those Deja Vu questions.

Wow, nice your so close.
The anti air one? for this one I use the suppressed Sz 336(Found in the first weapons armory), blow the first anti air with c4 and the 2 at the helipad using the Sz 336 suppressed, shooting the red barrels(IDK why but Red barrel kills don't count; same with MGS4 & others I think)
The remaining C4 I plant on the same road in which the truck will take you to the facility after rescuing Chico, the armored vehicle will ride to that location immediately.

Damn. I never thought of using the barrels over the C4. But that's smart, using a silenced weapon to take them out. I'm definitely gonna try that out at some point.

My strategy was, well, it'll sound like it was alot of trouble, as I essentially do a near full circle of the map, but in reality there was only a few hard spots, but you had to make sure you took care of them.

• 
  
• Plant at the First anti-air.
  
• Sneak through the left and plant at the Second anti-air on the far left.
  
• Enter the admin block. Turn off the power.
  
• Go and get the special POW.
  
• Trigger the explosion at the First anti-air. This clears out most of the guards on the helipad.
  
• Hard part: sneak to the armoury on the left, nab the rocket launcher, avoid the camera to your left/behind you, sneak to the Third anti-air, there's guards in need of silencing there, then plant.
  
• Head towards the rocky coast for the final evac. There should be no guards at the fenced camp, so nab the 3 POWs.
  
• Trigger remaining explosions. Head up to the road, wait for the LAV, keep your distance, and when it passes by, take it out with 3 rockets.
  
• Hopefully no one died due to your explosions, otherwise flawless run.

I keep going on runs hoping to be super stealthy... but just end up having so much fun fucking with the AI

I know that feel.

I can't complete the renegade one on Hard(S-Rank), can I kill the targets or extraction the best method?
