PS5
Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater requires separating exploration from performance. Food, camouflage, Kerotan and GA-KO collections encourage stopping to review every area, while FOXHOUND demands an exceptionally disciplined playthrough. Attempting everything without a clear plan increases the risk of missing an item or spoiling a clean run. This roadmap recommends complete reconnaissance before rank preparation, distinguishing the PS5 remake from older Metal Gear Solid 3 and Master Collection lists.
Base-game platinum roadmap. Expansions and additional trophy groups are separate from the main route.
- Required difficulty: FOXHOUND requires Extreme or European Extreme and additional rank conditions.
- Missable trophies: Many collections and actions are missable; there is no unrestricted chapter select to fix everything.
- Online: The base list is offline, without multiplayer objectives.
Separate reconnaissance from the FOXHOUND run
During the first route, focus on areas, objects and unusual actions. Learning guard positions and connections makes a later rank attempt more readable. Keep recognisable saves before important transitions: returning to an area is not always possible and the campaign does not offer universal chapter-select recovery.
- Keep saves before decisive area transitions.
Track Kerotans, GA-KOs and food in parallel
The two target families have separate counters, as does the Food Collection. When entering an area, check each category instead of looking only for the most obvious target. Food must be recorded in the collection: do not assume an entry is acquired merely because you remember seeing the animal or plant.
- Track Kerotans, GA-KOs and Food Collection entries separately.
Protect The End’s alternative outcomes
The Early End and You Snooze, You Lose require different situations involving the same opponent. Read both requirements before deciding how to approach him and use separate save branches. Killing him early may solve one objective but does not replace the approach needed to surprise him and obtain the other required item.
- Prepare a save before choosing how to approach The End.
Build non-lethal habits
PEACE WALKER asks for a no-kill playthrough, and non-lethal discipline also helps prepare FOXHOUND. Check the equipped tool before attacking: similar controls do not make lethal and tranquilliser weapons equivalent. Finish bosses with resources consistent with the result you are pursuing.
- Check your weapon before actions that could compromise the run.
Prepare a rank checklist before starting
FOXHOUND does not merely mean completing Extreme. Verified sources describe limits on time, alerts, continues, kills and special items. Write down the dedicated rank conditions and check the attempt’s intermediate results. A completed run with too many mistakes does not qualify merely because the difficulty was correct.
- Use a complete rank checklist rather than Extreme difficulty alone.
Review the final moment instead of skipping everything
Ocelot Always Gets His Man requires spotting Ocelot in the background during a specific scene. Skipping every cutscene, useful when managing time, can miss this opportunity on a collection-focused route. Plan it for the appropriate run and check registration before closing that save branch.
- Check Ocelot’s trophy during the scene specified by the list.

Frequently asked questions
Is finishing on Extreme enough?
No. FOXHOUND also requires specific performance conditions and restrictions.
Does this guide apply to the Master Collection?
No: it concerns the Δ remake on PS5 and its requirements, including GA-KOs.
Can I get every trophy without protecting saves?
That is risky: collections and alternative outcomes may require returning to an earlier point.
