1:10 Big Boss isn't building the Outer Heaven from MG1. That's Venom's creation. He's building Zanzibar Land from MG2, the "True" Outer Heaven. An actual Military Nation, and something that would require a major distraction to build secretly. Venom's Outer Heaven is that distraction.
@@majorborngusfluunduch8694 Big Boss never built Zanzibar Land. Outer Heaven (MG1) is the full blown nation he's building during MGSV - a PMC military base surrounded by a No Man's Land that soldiers from all over the world can come to engage in war for the thrill of battle. Once built he hands it over to Venom, switching places as the public face of "Big Boss" and goes to the US to reassume control of FOXHOUND. With "Big Boss" dying and Outer Heaven's destruction, this forces the real Big Boss into semi-hiding, going back to the Middle East - eventually joining Zanzibar Land's mercenary military, leading a junta to overthrow its leadership and have it serve as the new "Outer Heaven" - the idea, not the place. -- Although, I remember the MGS4 Database claiming something along the lines of he himself establishing it specifically in Tselinoyarsk after MG1.
Thanks. I wanted to be sure I was using a whole variety of methods that the arsenal allowed. The initial version of that plan was going to be sneaking righ up the main straight of Shago Kallai, and planting a C4 on their back during that walk between the jeep and the meeting - not an easy one given the number of eyes on them.
Being a medic, mission 43 probably had to he the most traumatic thing for Venom Snake (besides the crash/coma) I really believe that's when Medic died and Big Boss took over. The cutscene in the bathroom may or may not have even happened since it's such a dream state with him walking back into OH. Born to save lives Forced to take them
This video makes me realise just how much effort it takes to complete missions non-lethally, and how easy the game can be when you can slaughter everyone you come across
Up until disgustingly recently, (the very end of the OTHER challenge run I alluded to), I'd been foolishly of the belief; "more kills = bigger points deduction". Not so. All that matters is; 1 kill = no "No Kills" Bonus and the rest that follow.
It would've been tough to implement more meaningful restrictions than through points. MGS3 had a genius way of making it, but it was pre-written, and there wasn't much wiggle room for alternative paths depending on your kill count. MGSV on the other hand is a game that offers so much freedom, it could have created plotholes and errors in the script if you went another way than intended. Kojima's team would've had to create a whole new storyline for no-killing, and seeing they were already on a short rope with Konami, it would've taken too long and too much money they didn't have. I'm sure there was another way to penalise killing or at least give slightly different results that were being thought of, but then the Konami-Kojima breakup happened and they had to settle for a simple point bonus.

This was one of my dad's favorite games before he passed this year. Seeing it randomly on my page drew me in like death to a battlefield. Thank you, even when you didn't expect this. It means so much
If I can entertain or inspire just one other person to try it themselves with any project, then it was worth it. This is above and beyond. Keep tough, keep going.
9 years, even tho we havnt gotten any sequels and even MGSV never really got finished I have to say that this game still feels fresh :) So many great strategies in this one :)
This is a game I can redownload at basically any point and play for hours. I don't think there are any other single player games that are like that for me. So much replayability.
@ the gameplay is very smooth and fun to play, but yeah you’re not wrong the stealth takes much more of a backseat. I meant the gunplay and capturing soldiers was amazing
@@murakawa-san2279 It wasn't Konami's fault that millions of dollars were wasted by one man. Still baffles me "fans" like you are still this misinformed 9 years later. As if Kojima wasn't to blame for a lot of crap, let alone his behavior in general.
@@Herodotus888 Same. I mean, you heard the covered stories about the production of Death Stranding, right? You know what Kojima Productions staff said about the idea when Kojima tried to explain it?
My fav Kaz quote: ,,We're Diamond Dogs with a Phantom Pain, alright! Our weapons are mere metal gears, but this war we fight with our hearts. For peace. We kept Skull Face waiting just cause he can't have nice things. At the end of WWII the world was split into to, east and west." Always so emotional
Thank you. I was so nervous about showcasing that, because I knew there'd be a multi-minute break from narration, meaning the video diverts from its main point. But if it were any other less title-centric challenge run, on a less significant date, I would've just passed on letting the story/cutscenes play at all.
Instead of making mgs3 delta, they really should've made a remake of the old 2d games in the style of phantom pain, even throw in a mission where you can't win against solid snake
@@ZakRasim not sure if it's been done before. But what about a "Peace Walker" and "Portable Ops" themed challenges where you are only permitted to use any weapon featured from those games. Stealth camo disqualified for S rank purposes obv. Also. As for any customized weapons in PW like the AK with shotgun/grenade launcher could be modified on.. Usually.
@@ZakRasI completely forgot. For the peace walker run. Big Boss is advocating for peace. So im episode 22. Spare your msf comrades. They didnt know they were misinformed. Edit: in the code talker mission. Im fairly positive you can sneak past the sniper skulls by hugging right on the rivers water using a water box.
I was worried doing so would dip into macrocontent territory - but the weight of both the 9th Anniversary and the idea of this Challenge leaning into the next game it leads into seems to have thwarted that. Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed.

Indeed. Took me until 2 years ago to get my one and only save up to 100%, and since then I've been working to complete every Development project - shuffling staff of course, no way am I getting every Unit up to 162 at the same time. Almost done. Just need 6 more Intel levels to get the Grade 11 Sneaking Suit, then I'm down to just the FOB Only stuff.
@@ZakRas I'm still ways from getting the online weapon max ranks, at least FOB4 is near completion for me. That stuff really does out-budget NATO's collective military GDP ten to one.

Long time fan of the series, played V more times than I can remember and I'm still seeing cutscenes that I never knew were out there 🤣 Great video. You can without a doubt see how skilled you are, with not only the way you go through all the missions like a breeze, but with the way you narrate the events that take place. It was a lot of fun seeing you slip past enemies and come up with tricks to get past the challenge, each being more intricate than the other and it's just amazing how many things you can learn, even if you're an old dog like me. Loved the video, and you have my utmost respect for an excellent playthrough and fantastic retelling. I'm genuinely shocked by your interpretation of the ending cutscene and I'm 100% staying for more content. Phenomenal quality, one deserving a multitude of long-time viewers. Be proud of yourself man, you did good :)
What I said about the ending, that's a ridiculously cut down version. I had to cut the full point I was trying to make for the sake of last minute render problems... so I may as well do it here as thanks for your support. Big Boss established "Outer Heaven" in PW's final post-credits convo. Given Venom was still with MSF in GZ and regarded as their best man second only to Big Boss, that would mean he's on-board with the idea - then to be given the task of being 1/2 of "Big Boss", the legend, how could he say no? But his destiny is already written, Venom punching the mirror is the moment he succumbs, no longer an Avatar we control and a fully realized double of the warlusting Big Boss of the MSX-era. As for Venom behind the mirror, that's us the player in the same position as Raiden at the end of MGS2... with the added bonus of the title of "Big Boss" under our belt; "Everything you felt, thought about during this mission is yours and what you decide to do with them is your choice... Choose your own legacy, it's for you to decide. It's up to you."
@@Kn_nickNo, no. It's just Episode 50 I've mixed in with the unfinished Episode 51 cutscenes (colour corrected to look a little more finalised) to spiritually include Kingdom of the Flies in the story... and as a way to have both a Venom vs Metal Gear AND "Metal Gear" vs Metal Gear fight in the same run.
11:35 this is actually one of my favorite missions because that's exactly how i play it and i play the entire rest of the game as stealthily and non-lethally as possible so an excuse to genuinely just go ham with a tank on like 20 other tanks is my favorite thing
I'm surprised how often I get comments saying exactly this. It was kinda known prior to the game's release as just something you'd able to do, but there is at least one way of knowing that's a thing in-game - it's a Mission Task in Episode 35.
@@ZakRas i've completed the game once and, well, missed somethings, like gunsmith. And this "Trick" with fulton is so awesome to learn. I'll use it, when i'll play MGS V again. Thank you for the tip! XD
A definite missed opportunity for this game is making the MG Boss characters like Shotmaker and Dirty Duck possible soldiers for you to find and recruit.
I'm sure it's been pointed out in numerous videos, but I gotta say it here. Having the weapons in this game be ersatzed facsimiles of real guns in this game makes sense when you, Venom Snake, are an ersatzed facsimile of Big Boss.
all this time, and I did NOT made the connection that the tx-55 and in a lesser way, the D, are metal gear made by just taking the walker gear, boosting it up to Zeke size, and having the difference in space being used to hold the nuke
@@themanofconstantsorrowelia1929 So the guy missing an arm with shrapnel in his skull at the age of 70 taking 4 rockets to the face couldn't take down snake but boss getting slammed by a can of deodorant goes over your head ? Boss and venom also never fought (cause the boss knew he would get his ass clapped by the nuclear man)
This actually looks like such an awesome and fun challenge. This looks like the way the game was made to be played and better than the intended way. Kojima made a lot of mistakes with this game, and two of the biggest have to be that he made an action game, not a stealth game, yet pushes you to play it stealthily anyway, and second, the fact that this was supposed to be the game of how Big Boss became a villain, but the game punishes you for playing as the villain and killing people. And while not as major (since this is apart of the whole "MGS5 is an action game, not a stealth game" issue), MGS5 throwing out the camo system because of the annoying fact that you can no longer change camos during the missions simply, he made the camo system just not matter. MGS3's camo system was great, but wasn't fluid/quick enough, which was the whole reason why Octo Camo in MGS4 was created, to be that but better, yet MGS5 went the opposite direction and just made it so much of a hassle that you basically just stick to one suit the whole game and never notice a difference.
@@ZakRasHow is it not out yet when it's already September 2024? No, seriously. Are you still recording footage for it? Did you step away from it for a while? Is it being edited?
@@MakusinMeringue It was planned since mid/late-2022 for a specific anniversary later this year. But I couldn't start recording that challenge until I'd unlocked a certain Grade 11 weapon which I got around early/mid 2023. When I put out that trailer I was only 1/3 or 1/2 way through the challenge... and I had no idea how I was gonna format its presentation at the time. This video, aside from having already planned to do an "Outer Heaven"/Metal Gear 1 challenge for the 9th anniversary anyway, was practice for that.
@@windowlicker2902 It has its problems, the opening line had to be edited down from "...nine years ago, today" and the endings a complete disaster thanks to it causing the delay. Then again, this whole process was just practice for Voyevoda.
@@ZakRas being too hard on yourself man, but the ground zeroes montage was so well constructed and the music playing even when choking chico tf out made me laugh
Good work on the video, I wouldn't really call this a challenge. You can get S rank on all missions without ever using a tank, rocket launcher, assault rifle, submachine gun or mines.
I was 50/50 on this for sometime. I arrived at Naked purely for the aesthetic, since all the attack dogs in MG are just normal Doberman Pinschers with no utility gear. I get where you're coming from though. Don't let me take on the idea of "Outer Heaven" stop you from putting your own spin on it if you ever want to try it yourself. I normally have a "Grade 6 limit rule" for this kind of thing, which here I flouted for Venom's Arm & the boss weapons.
Khaki Urban 2T. You unlock their development project as a reward from FOB Events - unfortunately, not the one that started today. They're good for wearing amongst Greenery, and I like it because they kinda resemble Rat PT 01's uniform from MGS4.
Checking the Records screen since Mission Results only go up to 999 hours - it's actually just over 2000 hours. Even then, 83 days is quite sane for a 3296 day old save file. As for CV - if I ever went into Human Resources, I probably could given the amount of layers upon layers of staff shuffling I've done to boost their unit levels to unlock the Grade 11 stuff.
in mission 28 you can run by the skulls or just go down the river bed to the crack in the wall and climb up and by pass them then after you have to get CT out you can avoid them pretty easy on the way to the LZ
Absolutely. I've seen many people say going along the river itself is their route, but normally I opt for a comfy little route under a canopy the trees create. But given these are the only Skull Snipers (not including Quiet), combined with not having a sniper rifle as part of the challenge - I couldn't pass up eliminating them.

What I said about the ending, that's a ridiculously cut down version. I had to cut the full point I was trying to make for the sake of last minute render problems... so I may as well do it here as thanks for your support.
Big Boss established "Outer Heaven" in PW's final post-credits convo. Given Venom was still with MSF in GZ and regarded as their best man second only to Big Boss, that would mean he's on-board with the idea - then to be given the task of being 1/2 of "Big Boss", the legend, how could he say no? But his destiny is already written, Venom punching the mirror is the moment he succumbs, no longer an Avatar we control and a fully realized double of the warlusting Big Boss of the MSX-era. As for Venom behind the mirror, that's us the player in the same position as Raiden at the end of MGS2... with the added bonus of the title of "Big Boss" under our belt;
"Everything you felt, thought about during this mission is yours and what you decide to do with them is your choice... Choose your own legacy, it's for you to decide. It's up to you."
Never thought about it that way, but between all the crazy theories, this one speaks to me the most
The joke at 08:00 almost made me spit coffee out my nose and wet my pants, I laughed at that for a "solid" 5 minutes, bravo good sir 👏👏
This was great man. Must have been a power of work! The editing is excellent. MGSV really is, maybe, probably, the best game ever… alongside BotW
This challenge is fucking crazy
You ain't seen nothing yet...
@@ZakRas that classified mission you did at the end
Is that a mod, and if so what is it called
@@Kn_nickNo, no. It's just Episode 50 I've mixed in with the unfinished Episode 51 cutscenes (colour corrected to look a little more finalised) to spiritually include Kingdom of the Flies in the story... and as a way to have both a Venom vs Metal Gear AND "Metal Gear" vs Metal Gear fight in the same run.
"armored skulls, smooth brains"
Hold on, his writing is fire ⁉⁉
This was amazing dude, keeping the cutscenes and the story was a beautiful touch. Made a 1 hour video felt like 20 minutes
Now complimenting my ability to pace a video of this length, THAT's a feather in my cap.
Thank you.
you've definitely gained a sub! great video fs
@@manuluk9o7 Thank you.
There'll likely be some of my old formats for GTA over September/October - but November is when I'm coming back to MGSV.
@@ZakRas aighty sounds good! keep up the good work.
23:25 lmao Mad vid!!
Liked and subbed!
I love that you turned Ep 22 into a reverse GZ, I do wish as either a side op or Chap 2 main op you could attack their base.
Yo this was fucking awesome, earned a like and sub
honestly this playthrough seems pretty fun and you're getting a lot of codenames done too
Super impressive gameplay, and some great editing video pacing.
How you did Occupation Forces is wild!!!
Very good challenge! I love this game so much, i 100% it twice!
man, you are a beast, awesome video
You ain't seen nothing yet.
Not yet.
11:35 this is actually one of my favorite missions because that's exactly how i play it and i play the entire rest of the game as stealthily and non-lethally as possible so an excuse to genuinely just go ham with a tank on like 20 other tanks is my favorite thing
love mgs5, also this video slaps, great work! really love the creativity on display here
Very perfect and well scripted video 👑
Have we all become invisible
You can Eva yourself, by standing on top of FUlton RESOURSE CONTAINER!? DAMN IT!
I'm surprised how often I get comments saying exactly this. It was kinda known prior to the game's release as just something you'd able to do, but there is at least one way of knowing that's a thing in-game - it's a Mission Task in Episode 35.
@@ZakRas i've completed the game once and, well, missed somethings, like gunsmith. And this "Trick" with fulton is so awesome to learn. I'll use it, when i'll play MGS V again. Thank you for the tip! XD
A definite missed opportunity for this game is making the MG Boss characters like Shotmaker and Dirty Duck possible soldiers for you to find and recruit.
16:20 I didn't know you could fast travel, that saves so much time!
13:10 The good old days
Demand for PMC's is about to skyrocket...
"A single assault rifle won't be enough to take out 4 skulls" *shoulders grom rocket launcher*
I look forward to the Zanzibar Land challenge. You could probably use Raiden as Running Man
Shh... such a run is on the cards, but not fully designed for me to be able to tease it just yet.
Watching this not only cause it's cool but cause I'm picking up skills I ain't even know about so when I go back imma be a better Boss.
Really? What's been the most useful/surprising so far?
not enough people talking about the absolute slaughter that occurred on retake the platform 😨
I never shot skull face, only kaz did im my playthrough, really made me feel that my venoms priorities are above revenge. Unlike kaz.
Heres a subscription hoping for more mgs5 content😊
Thank you, and yes... there'll be more in November.
Great editing man! Thanks or this
And you don’t hear a word.
The fuck is that pfp 💀

I'm sure it's been pointed out in numerous videos, but I gotta say it here.
Having the weapons in this game be ersatzed facsimiles of real guns in this game makes sense when you, Venom Snake, are an ersatzed facsimile of Big Boss.
Visions of the game that could have been
GOD TEIR EDITING HOLY MOLY
Solid work boss
Really great video! I enjoyed it with my breakfast.
I love this.
Why the hell you have so little subs? This is good stuff.
all this time, and I did NOT made the connection that the tx-55 and in a lesser way, the D, are metal gear made by just taking the walker gear, boosting it up to Zeke size, and having the difference in space being used to hold the nuke
Another scot that loves MGS? YASSS
As someone who has never played, or watched anything from or related to Metal Gear, I am very confused and very interested in these games now.
You're going down one of the best rabbit holes there is out there. Good luck.
Don't care what anyone says, Venom is better than Big Boss.
He's literally not even a character. You people are better at deluding yourselves than the patriots.
@@noway6633 >Not even a character
> You people are deluded
ok bud sure.
@@noway6633 He's only as boring as you are
Nah he couldn’t even survive solid snake or take down the boss. Hes just a shadow
@@themanofconstantsorrowelia1929 So the guy missing an arm with shrapnel in his skull at the age of 70 taking 4 rockets to the face couldn't take down snake but boss getting slammed by a can of deodorant goes over your head ?
Boss and venom also never fought (cause the boss knew he would get his ass clapped by the nuclear man)
This actually looks like such an awesome and fun challenge. This looks like the way the game was made to be played and better than the intended way. Kojima made a lot of mistakes with this game, and two of the biggest have to be that he made an action game, not a stealth game, yet pushes you to play it stealthily anyway, and second, the fact that this was supposed to be the game of how Big Boss became a villain, but the game punishes you for playing as the villain and killing people.
And while not as major (since this is apart of the whole "MGS5 is an action game, not a stealth game" issue), MGS5 throwing out the camo system because of the annoying fact that you can no longer change camos during the missions simply, he made the camo system just not matter. MGS3's camo system was great, but wasn't fluid/quick enough, which was the whole reason why Octo Camo in MGS4 was created, to be that but better, yet MGS5 went the opposite direction and just made it so much of a hassle that you basically just stick to one suit the whole game and never notice a difference.
Can you beat MGSV with only buddies?
@@shortsmiddleton D-Walker would be pretty flexible for that, especially given the Fulton Launcher.
@ZakRas Next to Pequod, he could technically be considered the fourth buddy in this game.
@@shortsmiddletonthat's true
I’d say yeah between d walker being a one machine army, and quiet being a pro sniper and dd can stun and kill
@@ZakRasCan DD beat Sahelanthropus?¿
One must live and one must die.
Big boss for filled his mission in Outer Heaven just like the Old Boss. 😉
What a crazy coincidence! I am currently playing this right now.
"What if i throw caution out the window"
19:01 What challenge run was this?
One that's not out yet... that's foreshadowing.
ua-cam.com/video/Wx_uCePKTUc/v-deo.html
@@ZakRasHow is it not out yet when it's already September 2024? No, seriously. Are you still recording footage for it? Did you step away from it for a while? Is it being edited?
@@MakusinMeringue It was planned since mid/late-2022 for a specific anniversary later this year. But I couldn't start recording that challenge until I'd unlocked a certain Grade 11 weapon which I got around early/mid 2023.
When I put out that trailer I was only 1/3 or 1/2 way through the challenge... and I had no idea how I was gonna format its presentation at the time. This video, aside from having already planned to do an "Outer Heaven"/Metal Gear 1 challenge for the 9th anniversary anyway, was practice for that.
@@MakusinMeringue It's out now: ua-cam.com/video/Fxtu7H5_YuQ/v-deo.html
@@ZakRas I appreciate the notification, Boss.
I cannot belive I just watched you steath with a tank
the quality of this video deserves more recognition, more likes and subscribers are deserved
@@windowlicker2902 It has its problems, the opening line had to be edited down from "...nine years ago, today" and the endings a complete disaster thanks to it causing the delay.
Then again, this whole process was just practice for Voyevoda.
@@ZakRas being too hard on yourself man, but the ground zeroes montage was so well constructed and the music playing even when choking chico tf out made me laugh
Good work on the video, I wouldn't really call this a challenge. You can get S rank on all missions without ever using a tank, rocket launcher, assault rifle, submachine gun or mines.
It definitely leans more towards "fun run" than "challenge", I'll admit. It's a very flexible list of permitted items than others I've done.
V has come to
32:21 you can also shoot the tires with bullets
3:30 Naked D Dog can't actually attack though, only distract. Would not a knife/battle dress better match?
I was 50/50 on this for sometime. I arrived at Naked purely for the aesthetic, since all the attack dogs in MG are just normal Doberman Pinschers with no utility gear.
I get where you're coming from though. Don't let me take on the idea of "Outer Heaven" stop you from putting your own spin on it if you ever want to try it yourself. I normally have a "Grade 6 limit rule" for this kind of thing, which here I flouted for Venom's Arm & the boss weapons.
@@ZakRas I usually give D Dog black fur to make the sneak suit stand out less on him, and to be fair he is more useful for his nose than attacks
@@KoalaTContent Huh, I do the opposite - give him the white fur to see him better in darkness for myself.
13:10 LIKE THE GOOD OL DAYS AFTER ####!
This game is absolutely masterpiece
well looks like all tis time im been playing the canon total stealth version of tis (basicly only the default items but upgraded a bit
Which variation of the combat fatigues are being worn during the Code Talker mission? Can’t recall these dark torso and tan pants. They look awesome!
Khaki Urban 2T.
You unlock their development project as a reward from FOB Events - unfortunately, not the one that started today. They're good for wearing amongst Greenery, and I like it because they kinda resemble Rat PT 01's uniform from MGS4.
ah yes, the phantom peen
You’re pretty good
you're pretty good
You're Pretty Good
Awesome
Pretty good
what's the fatigues you used in root cause? great vid by the way lol.
Those are Khaki Urban 2T.
Unlocked for Development as an FOB Event Reward (not the current one, though), it gives you a Camo bonus in greenery.
I'm sorry but 609 HOURS PLAYTIME!? My brother in Christ how does one enjoy a game so much. Surely you can put this in your CV
Checking the Records screen since Mission Results only go up to 999 hours - it's actually just over 2000 hours.
Even then, 83 days is quite sane for a 3296 day old save file. As for CV - if I ever went into Human Resources, I probably could given the amount of layers upon layers of staff shuffling I've done to boost their unit levels to unlock the Grade 11 stuff.
I might just play this again
in mission 28 you can run by the skulls or just go down the river bed to the crack in the wall and climb up and by pass them then after you have to get CT out you can avoid them pretty easy on the way to the LZ
Absolutely. I've seen many people say going along the river itself is their route, but normally I opt for a comfy little route under a canopy the trees create.
But given these are the only Skull Snipers (not including Quiet), combined with not having a sniper rifle as part of the challenge - I couldn't pass up eliminating them.
40:12 WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I thought he said "he carries on his legend, his memes" and I had to immediately rewind it
You heard right.
Why not use supply drops on quiet? No cheese allowed? :D
More, keeping to the themed loadout as much as possible.
