PS4 / PS5
For the Shadow Moses platinum, use your first trip to plan for both torture rewards. They prepare you for the FOX codename run. The VR missions have a separate entry in the collection menu: choosing the right edition avoids repeating hundreds of trials.
The first Metal Gear Solid in Master Collection Vol. 1: 19 trophies on PS4 and PS5. Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3 have separate lists.
- Digital release: October 24, 2023, PS4 and PS5
- List: 19 trophies, no multiplayer
- Rank for Elite: FOX or Big Boss
Screenplay Book and first run
Open the first Metal Gear Solid Screenplay Book in the collection menu and go through every page before leaving. In the first run, learn the card locations, boss order and the return route to the hangar. If you plan to use special items for Elite, start on the difficulty and edition you will use for the rank run.
- Check that the book is for the first game and reach its final page.
Earn the bandana and stealth camo
Resisting torture leads to the bandana reward; submitting leads to stealth camouflage. Reach both endings and keep the clear data. If you use the items for the rank run, load the completed save for the same version and difficulty rather than starting a separate new game.
- Make a separate save before torture as well as keeping your clear data.
Take and exorcise a ghost photo
With a level 4 card, look for the camera in the second basement of the tank hangar, or use it on a subsequent run when it is already available. One target is in the bathroom near Psycho Mantis’s room. Photograph the wall, then open the Album under Special and select exorcism on the photo containing the ghost.
- Leave space to save the photo, then confirm the exorcism in the Album.
Make the FOX rank run
On the Western release, target FOX on Hard; Big Boss on Extreme also meets the requirement. Plan a finish under three hours, no continues and as few optional alerts and kills as possible. Keep rations for emergencies and reload a clean save if a room goes wrong. Stealth camo helps in hallways and the bandana in fights.
- Practice bosses and note a safe route before the timed attempt.
Choose Special Missions for VR
Open Special Missions in UK English from the collection selector and finish all 300 trials, including the categories unlocked later. The ten Training missions in the base game menu do not count as the full set. The US VR Missions edition has reports of completion without the trophy; use the documented European route from the start.
- Confirm the Special Missions label in the selector before the first trial.
