  • The enemy commander extracted with almost no one noticing it and without neutralizing anyone else.
    Episode 22: Retake the Platform from Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain.
    No Traces / No Alerts / Perfect Stealth / - Rank.
    * * *
    RULES:
    1) Perfect Stealth / No Kills / No Combat Alerts.
    2) NO TRACES bonus requires:
    - No CQC (hold-ups are allowed)
    - No direct physical contact with enemies, like kicking or bumping into someone
    - No weapons or bionic arm attacks
    - No support weapons, including empty magazines
    - No attacks from buddies
    - No rank-restricting equipment, like active camo
    - No supply or vehicle drops (calling in the chopper is allowed).
    3) EQUIPMENT:
    - Enemies have maximum level of preparedness against covert actions
    - All enemy equipment is left intact (mines, cameras, helmets, etc.)
    - My own equipment is fully upgraded with all bionic arm upgrades unlocked.
    4) As an extra challenge, when dealing with enemies who are not the mission targets:
    - No hold-ups
    - No distractions
    - No suspicions raised [I failed this one at the end; it's nigh impossible to extract Mosquito without anyone seeing it (never mind hearing), unless you do it in the mist].

    On my first run of this, I got caught, but it ended up working in my favor. The position I was in was right under Mosquito, so when they tried to bomb me, they ended up bombing Mosquito and I succeeded in the mission without really doing anything. It was pretty funny.

  • @prenatual

    The most difficult mission of this playthrough yet. Randomized enemy patrol routes + permanent alert + unevenly shaped structures with lots of holes in them make for a nasty combination.
    While it's possible to quickly move through the 1st platform while soldiers are attacking the chopper, and 2nd and 3rd platforms have enemies with predictable routes, the final platform is an absolute nightmare. There are tons of opportunities for the enemies to spot you while you're climbing the pipes and it may take minutes of waiting to find a good opening.
    Unlike all the other enemy commanders I've encountered so far, Mosquito never investigates the noises himself and always sends someone else to do it (even small noises, like footsteps), so I couldn't have lured him away from the top of the platform.
    I failed to avoid raising a suspicion at the end (10:46), when the soldier on the other side of the platform briefly noticed me and saw me extracting Mosquito. I think it's nigh impossible to extract him during the day without anyone seeing it (never mind hearing), unless you get extremely lucky or do it in the mist. You can either wait for the mist to occur naturally (it happens once about every 10 hours) or use mist parasites. I didn't want to wait or use the parasite suit again or play at night, so I made an exception for my "no suspicions" rule here.

      +prenatual This mission is a pure nightmare actually, and its weird but after doing differents strats, my best no traces attempt was around 5m:52sec. What I noticed is the faster you go through the first 3 platforms, the easier it will be to reach the top of the final one. Because it seems the longer you take, the more they start doing annoying patrol route.

    Man, you are simply amazing. Can you offer any general tips for players who want to be better at stealth?

    • @prenatual
      @prenatual  8 років тому +296

      +katmaster39 What kind of tips do you want to hear? I'm genuinely curious, because I have no idea how to answer your question.
      Personally, I never had a goal of becoming better at videogames. I can understand when people from a professional multiplayer scene do that, since improving your gaming skills can win you some real money there. But in single-player games? They are all about you and your enjoyment.
      So if you want my advice: stop worrying about being as good as someone else and just play at your natural level. You'll enjoy yourself much more.

    • @katmaster39
      @katmaster39 8 років тому +35

      +prenatual Well, it's not that I want to be as good as other people, I just genuinely want to improve my general play in this game. It's all self-fulfillment for me because I've got no competition to beat and I've only got people to look up to like you. I don't think it matters but I'm just 15 and video games are my life for the most part. So that's why I don't see any reason not to get really good at video games since it's the one thing I "waste" my time with constantly as others put it for me. In terms of tips I wanted to hear, I usually get caught unexpectedly around corners and such because I wasn't able to mark the enemy beforehand with my binoculars so I wanted to know if there was a better way. Oh, and what are the visibility ranges anyway? I know that Snake is practically invisible during the day at 20m and farther when he's prone but I only have rough estimates for when he's crouching and upright. Anyway, thanks for acknowledging my comment to begin with.

    • @katmaster39
      @katmaster39 8 років тому +9

      +prenatual I don't mean to reply again before you but I wanted you to test out this strategy for mission 40 cloaked in silence. I have a video example of the strategy on my channel. I wanna know if it actually works because otherwise I wanna try and see how I can fix it.

    • @prenatual
      @prenatual  8 років тому +87

      +katmaster39 If you have problems with marking enemies use D-Dog, he can mark enemies through walls 80 meters away. D-Walker also has an automated marking function, once you upgrade it.
      The visibility ranges during daytime and while staying still: 65m while standing / 45m while crouching / 20m while prone.
      While moving you are visible at 65 meters while either standing or crouching.
      I don't remember the values for nighttime. I think they are 35m / 15m / 10m or something like that.
      About your video: it's great. I don't see any need to improve it.

    • @emmyobinna
      @emmyobinna 8 років тому +8

      +prenatual If this is not good advice, then I don't know what is. Furthermore, katmaster39 please keep in mind that practice makes perfect and prenatual spent hundreds of hours distilling the perfection that he shares with us. When I first started street fighter 4, I could not perform a single fireball. But I loved the game, so I kept at it. Just keep practicing and experimenting bro. And remember, the point of perfection in any sphere of life is enjoyment/love.

  • @UberCoolBen

    What are your thoughts on the game overall, prenatual? Did it live up to your expectations - both as a Metal Gear Solid game and as a stealth ghost run challenge? Are there any changes you wish had been made?

    • @prenatual
      @prenatual  8 років тому +191

      +SYL Ben I liked it a lot. I haven't played any previous MGS games besides Ground Zeroes, so I didn't have any particular expectations, nor did I care much about the game's story or the drama surrounding the developer studio and the publisher. The aspects that I care about the most -- freedom to play as you choose, the mission variety, enemy reactivity to your actions -- are pretty much the best in the genre, and that's all that really matters to me.
      The things that I wish were done better are the AI (which can be very inconsistent at times) and difficulty (selectable difficulty levels would've been nice, because the game becomes a bit too easy once you unlock some powerful stuff). I talked more about it in the comments to the first video, if you're interested: ua-cam.com/video/-_b0O-139BQ/v-deo.html

    Hi prenatual I have a question. You mentioned that even in the daytime snake is invisible while laying down from up to 20 meters and 10 meters if you hunker down. Now let's say you use a lower level character than snake, say an E rank soldier, would that affect your stealth capabilities? If not then how does deploying as a lower level character or higher level character affect gamepla? (And I mean just with regards to rank not the special abilities like gunman and stuff)

  • @IRUNASSULT

    Very late to be making this comment but my first play-through was the easiest thing ever. I went up the stairs and interrogated a guy all by himself and got the commander location. He just so happened to be standing and the ledge of the R&D platform roof. A quick sniper shot to the head and the mission was over in less than a minute.

    Wow I thought you were not allowed to use a box period if you are going for the no traces bonus. I suppose I interpreted the rule of "you can't leave a box" as "you can't unequip it". Good stuff prenatual, but why were you wearing the battle dress? Wouldn't the squares camouflage have helped here?

    • @prenatual
      @prenatual  8 років тому +26

      +The “Giant” Midget Camo is borderline pointless in this game, so the suit doesn't matter much. Camo only slightly reduces your visibility when you're crouching and not moving, and only during the day. In all other combinations of stance/speed/time of day it does nothing. Since I was crawling or rolling 80% of the time and using the box when I was crouching, it would've been of no use to me here.

    Why didn't you use the Sneaking suit for this? The mission was hard as it is and the sneaking suit would give you some kind of edge without having to think about noise generation. The battle dress makes too much noise even when crouch-walking.

    • @prenatual
      @prenatual  8 років тому +49

      +qsqua The main problem here is the visual detection, not sound. That's why I was prone most of the time, and crawling/rolling is already completely silent, regardless of the suit.
      I can see only one instance where the sneaking suit would've been useful and it's fairly minor (2:00-2:25). So it's no big deal.
      And btw, Battledress makes as much noise as any other standard suit (6m while crouching, 8m while running, 15m while sprinting).

    At the end of this video, why not use the camo paint that makes you temporarily invisible? Not equipped?or just didn't feel the need?

    Hey I was wondering what happens if you don't rescue your staff? I didn't want to get caught so I assumed that they would get rescued even after I extracted the commander. Nobody got killed but I am not sure if my men freed them behind the scenes.

      +darell fairbank Looks very promising. Absolution's AI and graphics + big non-linear levels, like in Blood Money, sounds very good to me. Beyond that I can't say much. I'll have more to say when I play it.

    Talking about AI, what stealth game you think has the best one?

    • @kingenfuuken
      @kingenfuuken 8 років тому +21

      +marcokerti A lot of people rip on it but I thought Deus Ex: HR had pretty good ai.
      I liked that their cones of vision were actually on their eyes and not just the direction they were facing.
      Once alerted however they could do some pretty stupid shit.

    • @marcokerti
      @marcokerti 8 років тому +5

      +mrshreddy It's a good example. I think however that we should distinguish stealth games which focus on the fact that you can hide behind something like Hitman or Deus Ex series and games like Thief, Splinter Cell or MGS3 in which you can use shadows or camouflage as a stealth technique.

    • @prenatual
      @prenatual  8 років тому +83

      +marcokerti Depends on what you mean by "the best".
      Individually, the most dangerous enemies I've encountered were in Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory. The game never has lots of them (usually 2-3 per room), but it uses them in smart ways, so that sometimes even a single guard can be a challenge to avoid.
      Individual enemies in Hitman: Absolution are not very dangerous and can be easily tricked when they are alone, but they become brutal when they work in groups. And these groups are unusually large (10 people or more) while the environments are pretty small, so that the density of enemies is probably 2-3 times higher than what you see in a typical stealth game. That's the main reason the game is so bloody difficult. Also, the game designers paid a lot of attention to how various noises and events affect enemies, so that if your playstyle is focused less on killing and more on AI manipulation (like mine), the game offers a lot of depth. Overall, I consider Absolution the hardest stealth game I ever played.
      In terms of pure entertainment, I think the AI in Batman: Arkham series is better than both of them, though. Enemies in Arkham games are very easy to defeat, but their reactions to player's actions are extremely varied and hilarious. They are very well written, acted and animated, so that fighting them never feels boring, even when they don't offer much resistance. They also have different psychological states that affect their behavior in interesting ways, which I think is one of the few real innovations in stealth games in the past 6-7 years.

    • @QuickQuips
      @QuickQuips 8 років тому +5

      +prenatual I definitely agree. Splinter Cell on Expert is a great and unforgiving challenge especially in the Bathhouse. Absolution was tough because it demanded a strict route that often needed trial and error to tease out. Arkham Asylum was the perfect mix of power yet vulnerability when teasing and trapping foes.

    • @marcokerti
      @marcokerti 8 років тому

      +prenatual I expected that. I mastered the Splinter Cell trilogy along with the Hitman series and they proved to be very challenging. It's true that Arkham has the smartest AI overall, but the game is not a proper stealth game. Would be cool to develop a game with the Thief level design and Arkham's AI.

    before i looked at your walkthrough i did my own. i get to the commander pretty quickly. the only difference was when i got to him i chocked him out then fultoned him. i didnt get no traces. this game isnt about no traces its about The Trick Bonus. did you try choking him out first
