I really can't do any of the things you do with The Pain.. it feels like mine is behaving differently. For example, it takes about 7 shots with the M37 to take out his bee armor, he dodges 4 or 5 in a row before I can hit him (yes I'm doing the tactical reload) and he never stays for more than 1, maybe 1.5 seconds without the armor. Am I doing something wrong? I've been trying for 3 days now, I've spent maybe 20 hours trying to beat him... Do you have any other advice? Is there any trick to do him more easily? Thanks
Use grenades instead of the M37. There are additional grenades underwater that respawn if you run out. Just go into first person view with them and throw directly at him. If you use a grenade when he does not have bee armor, the bees will bring the grenade back to you, so only throw when he is armored. The Pain and the Fury were the two bosses I struggled with the most, so I definitely feel your Pain (pun intended).
Thank you! I finally made it!!!! You're an angel. Btw I followed your collectibles guide before this and it was AMAZING!! So now I'm struggling a bit with The Pain because he seems to take different roads than yours, so I'm trying to figure out how to sneak on him, because I'm only able to follow him but I don't know the area well enough to know where he's going to be. I'll be back to ask you advice if I get extremely frustrated again 😂
He tends to run to the the nearest available sniping spot. If you use the directional microphone, you can aim it around and listen for his breathing. Also, since you followed the collectible guide, you know about where his bird is. If you capture the bird alive and then release it in an area, the bird will fly to him calling out “grandpa”, so you just follow the bird to him.
I made iiiittt thank youuuuu 🎉 I hope it's gonna be downhill from now on. I made a mistake though... I saved after beating The End but I was afraid I'd taken too much damage so I remade it and saved again on the same slot, but I'm an idiot because it still counts as a save. So I'm gonna have to skip one of your (perfectly placed) next saves to sacrifice for this. Ahhh np, I can do itttt and thanks again man. You'll be in my heart forever. I'll be seen as a magician from my friends when they'll see how good I got at this beautiful game 😎 and then send them this video ofc 😁 Ah also I LOVE your voice (no matter how frustrated I got, hearing your voice was soothing ❤️) Ahhh another p.s.: the parrot is not in the same place in extreme difficulty, it's slightly on the right, it's facing The End but if you crawl you can catch him unseen.
Hey man I just achieved this rank thanks to your guide. Did it on my first run too. Was a pretty scuffed run. Had to constantly reload saves. But, my final time was 2:15:46. I just wanna say thank you and I wish you all the best!
European Extreme is exactly the same as extreme except if you alert the game ends. So it's a time saver really since you don't want to be seen for Fox. So if you play European Extreme and mess up you don't have to quit out or die just hit exit when seen.
Far and away the most underrated channel on the platform for platinum walkthroughs. I can't prove it, but I'm 90% sure a lot of bigger channels pull from you and use a lot of your techniques for their walkthroughs. Anyways, thanks for the great guide.
You’ll have a much easier time with the end if you follow this strategy, but everytime he throws the stun grenades you distance a bit and equip the ak47. You chase him while spraying it and he stops long enough for you to whack him with the butt of it then cig spray him again
This guide has been fantastic. Just escorting Eva now, then will need to do The Boss. How weird that it added a save for you at the end though?! Got me paranoid now. Haha
for that krasno tunnel/ladder scene if you have the moss camo on and no equipment on you can actually recover a lot if not all your stamina as you climb
Could anyone maybe help me understand what I'm doing wrong? Whenever I try to sneak up behind The End in the South area for his camo, he's always lying down and it makes it harder for me to hold him up.
You need to be really close to him. Use the directional buttons to slowly stalk-walk toward him and get right behind him. I’m not sure if you can hold people up while crouching (I think you can), but that will get you even closer to his body and make the holdup easier.
If you choose I like MGS1, Snake will lose stamina at a slower rate during the Virtuous Mission. If you choose I like MGS2, Snake will be wearing the Raiden / Raikov mask during the opening cutscene and the name in the upper left corner will be different until you get the backpack in the tree. If you choose I like MGS3, it unlocks the Demo Theater, European Extreme difficulty, and certain beneficial face paints and camos with bonus effects.
You're a legend mate, I've been doing blind playthroughs on normal then going over to your guides to do the bigboss/foxhound ranks. Currently up to the End on this walkthrough.
On ps2 you got duel mode, it was a must back in the day to learn how these boss fights worked, not sure why they never added that mode into the master collection.
what about stamina and cure? I have now defeated the Fury, and noticed that I have treated wounds and eaten food many times. There are no past saves. Tell me, will it affect the rank?
Hi again! I just got that plat and thanks to your guide. I don’t want to make it sound wrong but it wasn’t as hard as I thought it’d be considering the hell it was getting the plat for MGS2. But definitely it wouldn’t be that fast to get if it weren’t for this amazing work you’ve done. Except for the part when you scape the torture everything else went exactly as you mentioned. So once again thanks a lot. God bless you
Great job! It did take me a while to figure out that torture room escape because it’s so tricky, and I’m glad you figured out a method that worked for you too.
Excellent guide. I was getting so trolled by escaping Groznyj Grad constantly that by the time I finished it, for some reason I thought Foxhound rank was 3 hours and under/20 saves and thought for sure the run was dead... until I looked up the requirements again lmao. Thanks man!
Thanks for the beautiful guide . I followed it step by step . But I couldn't get the Markhor trophy . The only diffrent is ,I already have a foxhound EE rank .
That would count as a continue, so you don’t want that. Don’t save the game. Just exit out of the game and then reload the last save. The game won’t remember the continue if you do that.
Took me an extra hour from taking a few things slower (The Pain being one of them), but I finally reached Foxhound at 9:30 this morning with 22 saves. The Legacy Collection doesn't have a trophy for it, but I have it saved regardless. That was some journey.
Ok there is some way by chance to make The Pain no use the feromones? I been doing his boss figth for an hour and a half and he just keep throwing me the feromones over and over again soo i am in the water, i am back at the rock and he throw feromones again soo i jump at the water and repeate.... I didnt expect The Pain to be "iron wall" of the game
Go back and reload the previous save. If you have even 1 continue, you can’t get the foxhound rank. By reloading the last save, the game forgets about the continue.
hi quick question if anyone knows. I beat the fear but forgot to pick up the camo and saved in the next room. I went back to the previous save and beat him again and got the came and resaved over save 9. With the game remember the other save? Thanks in advance!
Thank you so much for these incredibly detailed and easy to follow master collection guides. Thanks to you I have been able to platinum every single game with ease. I feel like so kinds of legendary mercenary now. Cheers and can’t wait to follow along many more tutorials of yours. Keep up the amazing work!
Thanks! I managed to do this with less than 19 saves and an extra 40 minutes!! Everything was super easy except The Pain and The Fury, those two took me like two hours to beat. Now i wish MGS2 was like this 😢😢😢😢
You can take as long as you want to on this fight. If you need more grenades, there is a box underwater that keeps respawning if you run out, so keep chucking grenades at him, tranq him in the head or chest a couple times, dive back in the water and repeat. It took me a ton of tries to get it. This fight is more of a marathon than a sprint. Stick with it!
No, pausing does not stop the in-game timer. The best way to get around that is to reload the save. Luckily, the game isn't too long, and I try to break it out by sections, so if you can more or less memorize what to do in an area, you can load up the save and play through that section until you hit the next recommended save spot.
Thanks for watching this guide! Timestamps are in the description, and please let me know if you have any questions!

Awesome! And that’s a good time, especially for your first run! Congratulations, and thanks for watching and commenting!
Your MGS guides have been awesome. I finished MGS2 a few days ago and now i'm working on MGS3 Foxhound using your guide. Subscribed your channel :=)
Thank you very much! I really appreciate the kind words and the subscription!
Thank you so much for this. This is a much more reasonable walkthrough. Other ones require perfect executions.
European Extreme is exactly the same as extreme except if you alert the game ends. So it's a time saver really since you don't want to be seen for Fox. So if you play European Extreme and mess up you don't have to quit out or die just hit exit when seen.

Hopefully it all worked out for you!
@@MaskedMatador yeah, all was fine! Finished with 24 saves. Thanks again for the guide, your MGS ones have been a lifesaver!
You had one job… and you delivered putting the ladder scene 😎🫡
for that krasno tunnel/ladder scene if you have the moss camo on and no equipment on you can actually recover a lot if not all your stamina as you climb
thank you so much again i just got the plat !!
This is going to help me a ton. Thanks! Another awesome guide!
Thanks! Enjoy! This one is WAY easier than the MGS2 Big Boss rank.
what a thrill
The cig spray isn’t knocking out Raikov for me. No idea why.
Why is your CQC doing way more damage to Volgin than mine?
Could anyone maybe help me understand what I'm doing wrong? Whenever I try to sneak up behind The End in the South area for his camo, he's always lying down and it makes it harder for me to hold him up.

@MaskedMatador Thank you so much!!! I also didn't expect a reply so soon lol
What is the option at the beginning where it’s having you pick “I like MGS1” and so on? What are the differences in the options?
If you choose I like MGS1, Snake will lose stamina at a slower rate during the Virtuous Mission.
If you choose I like MGS2, Snake will be wearing the Raiden / Raikov mask during the opening cutscene and the name in the upper left corner will be different until you get the backpack in the tree.
If you choose I like MGS3, it unlocks the Demo Theater, European Extreme difficulty, and certain beneficial face paints and camos with bonus effects.
Stupid helpful. Making Europe’s. Extreme easier and making normal seem like child’s play
You had me complete this twice on the ps4 and ps5 version less than 24 hours apart. Spot on guide 👌
You're a legend mate, I've been doing blind playthroughs on normal then going over to your guides to do the bigboss/foxhound ranks. Currently up to the End on this walkthrough.
I had a lot of fun putting these guides together, and I’m glad you find them helpful. Enjoy!
On ps2 you got duel mode, it was a must back in the day to learn how these boss fights worked, not sure why they never added that mode into the master collection.
3/12/24 8:25pm I did it. Thanks for this video man!
Congrats! “You’re pretty good.”
@@MaskedMatador you know the craziest part was. in the bosses fight she ran at me five times, and i countered her every time while being one-shot.
what about stamina and cure? I have now defeated the Fury, and noticed that I have treated wounds and eaten food many times. There are no past saves. Tell me, will it affect the rank?

Thanks for the guide!! I followed your MGS2 guide and got the plat! Working on this plat now!
Awesome! Congratulations! MGS3 is a lot easier than MGS2, and I hope you enjoy getting this platinum trophy too!
Excellent guide. I was getting so trolled by escaping Groznyj Grad constantly that by the time I finished it, for some reason I thought Foxhound rank was 3 hours and under/20 saves and thought for sure the run was dead... until I looked up the requirements again lmao. Thanks man!
can I change the hour of the console to avoid the end battle and still earning the rank?
Not on Xbox.
thank you again and again. we are your soldiers. you are our true BIG BOSS! I got three platinum only by your help. Thanks from Ukraine
If I do a playthrough on very easy and then another one on extreme will stuff like the Sneaking Suit and Patriot carry over?
No, you'll need to do them on the same difficulty for items to carry over.
This has to be the most irritating thing I've ever done
Is there anything in particular that’s giving you trouble?
Great guide! Just unlocked the trophy and platinum now! Look forward to MGS Collection 2 and hopefully MGS 4 guides
Thanks for the beautiful guide . I followed it step by step . But I couldn't get the Markhor trophy . The only diffrent is ,I already have a foxhound EE rank .
Thanks for your Metal Gear guides, they're excellent
I’m glad they help!
Random but I’m curious,
What’s with all thoughs very easy saves? Lol
It had to do with a separate video I made about if you can stop the in-game clock.
I thought Forsure it was video-related
Hi, can I use the stuff of the new game plus ? Oh, and if I push “continue” by mistake, can I reload the save? Thanks
What if i miss click on the continue . Using dead pill . What doing ?
That would count as a continue, so you don’t want that. Don’t save the game. Just exit out of the game and then reload the last save. The game won’t remember the continue if you do that.
@@MaskedMatador thank you very much . Im so scarred about it .
Took me an extra hour from taking a few things slower (The Pain being one of them), but I finally reached Foxhound at 9:30 this morning with 22 saves. The Legacy Collection doesn't have a trophy for it, but I have it saved regardless. That was some journey.
Ok there is some way by chance to make The Pain no use the feromones? I been doing his boss figth for an hour and a half and he just keep throwing me the feromones over and over again soo i am in the water, i am back at the rock and he throw feromones again soo i jump at the water and repeate....
I didnt expect The Pain to be "iron wall" of the game
Amazing guide , got my foxhound rank thanks to your guide, hope I can get mgs2 which is a much harder challenge
We have a great guide Thank you for this great guide
When they say 10 life bars of damage what exactly does that look like?
That would be taking enough damage to go from full health to dead ten times.
What happens if by mistake i press to continue?
Go back and reload the previous save. If you have even 1 continue, you can’t get the foxhound rank. By reloading the last save, the game forgets about the continue.
@@MaskedMatador thanks bro, nice Guides
This is the only MGS i havent big boss ranked (besides the two NES ones).....
Its time.
If you can do MGS2, this one is a breeze compared to that!
hi quick question if anyone knows. I beat the fear but forgot to pick up the camo and saved in the next room. I went back to the previous save and beat him again and got the came and resaved over save 9. With the game remember the other save? Thanks in advance!
No, if you went back to the previous save, it will reset your save count to the previous save number.
@@MaskedMatador you are the best! thank you for a crazy fast response!
Climbing that ladder snake was wishing he could be a snake eater by the sound of his stomach 😂
I like to think the song is a duet with his tummy.
Hello the trophy fall in extrême mode ? Please
Thank you very much!
Thank you so much for these incredibly detailed and easy to follow master collection guides. Thanks to you I have been able to platinum every single game with ease.

Muito Obrigado Mestre!
I made iiiiit!! I finally got the platinum! Thank youuuuu you're the BEST ❤❤
Thanks! I managed to do this with less than 19 saves and an extra 40 minutes!!
Everything was super easy except The Pain and The Fury, those two took me like two hours to beat.
Now i wish MGS2 was like this 😢😢😢😢
I cant beat the pain and about to give up any tips?
You can take as long as you want to on this fight. If you need more grenades, there is a box underwater that keeps respawning if you run out, so keep chucking grenades at him, tranq him in the head or chest a couple times, dive back in the water and repeat. It took me a ton of tries to get it. This fight is more of a marathon than a sprint. Stick with it!
You are the man!!
if i pause the game time still counting?
Yes, in MGS3, the timer still counts while the game is paused. MGS1 and MGS2 stop the timer while the game is paused.
@@MaskedMatador damn
🐐
Thank you very much for your generosity!
Excellent guide! Merci c est parfait!
just popped the platinum thank you for the guide! funny enough the part that gave me the most trouble was the pain by far lol
Nice! Congratulations! The Pain and the Fury are always the worst for me.
Your actually a 🐐 just got the platinum my new hardest platinum
Congratulations and well done!
This guide is 10x better than the others heh heh you're pretty good.
Thanks! I’m glad you like it!
Does pausing the game stop the timer?
No, pausing does not stop the in-game timer. The best way to get around that is to reload the save.
