This trophy is very simple and will probably be earned without even trying as you're traversing through water. If you're having trouble earning this trophy then see A Good Man Is Hard To Find on how to achieve an appropriate camouflage index.

(Missable) This trophy must be done during Virtuous Mission. After the scene with Ocelot where he gets knocked out, you must kill Ocelot.

There are two ways to do this trophy. You can shoot a beehive from a tree while an enemy is below it; or shoot a hive down, collect it and throw it at an enemy. The earliest place to do this is Dolinovodno in Virtuous Mission. When you enter the area there's a guard standing near the bridge and there's a beehive near the bridge hanging from the furthest tree. Shoot the hive down and the bees will attack the guard, giving you this trophy.

There are multiple munitions sheds throughout the game and all you need to do is blow up one of them; most sheds also have TNT in them making it even easier. The earliest you can do this mission is in Bolshaya Past Base; there's a munitions shed in the far north-east of the area and has TNT in it. Plant the TNT in the shed then run out and detonate it to earn this trophy.

This trophy can be earned from the start of Virtuous Mission. Open your inventory, highlight the Fake Death Pill and press to use it and earn this trophy. If you don't want to die, be sure to use the revive pill.

(Missable) The Tsuchinoko is a reclusive snake and you can't even detect it normally, not even with thermal vision. You first need to get a few Mousetraps and then head to where Tsuchinoko's live and place the Mousetraps. You can now either wait for the Tsuchinoko to enter the trap, or leave the area and then go immediately back; it's faster to do the latter. It may take a while but eventually you'll find a Tsuchinoko in your mousetrap and earn this trophy.

Tsuchinoko's can be found in the following areas; Graniny Gorki, Sokrovenno and Bolshaya Pass South. To help expedite a Tsuchinoko being caught, you can killl all other animals in the area; if there are no other animals they won't get caught in your traps. If a different animal gets caught in your trap you'll need to reset it. To reset a trap; crawl over it like a claymore and it'll be back in your inventory to set.

Platinum Critical Information:

To earn a face paint that's critical to earning the platinum you MUST finish the game with a Tsuchinoko in your inventory. Once you get captured, all your gear is taken away; Eva has most of it but she will not have your animals/food. Once you make it to the waterfall and receive your gear, head back outside the waterfall and search the immediate area for the Tsuchinoko. It appears as a short, fat snake; Thermal Vision helps locate it. Shoot it with a TRANQUILIZER weapon and keep it with you to the end of the game.

(Missable) There are numerous camouflage sets in the game. You will earn this trophy once you obtain all camouflage sets in the game. If you missed an early camouflage you will need to play to the second infiltration of Groznyj Grad and get the Maintenance to earn this trophy.

See Collectible Guide or the video below.

(Missable) (Glitch) There are numerous sets of face paint in the game. You will earn this trophy once you obtain all face paint sets in the game. If you missed an early face paint you will need to play to the first infiltration of Groznyj Grad and get the Mask to earn this trophy.

WARNING: If you do not choose I like MGS3 when starting a new game there is a chance the game will glitch out and not award you this trophy. If this trophy does glitch on you, you'll have to start a whole new game and attempt this trophy again.

See Collectible Guide or the video below.

(Missable) You only have one chance at this. After defeating The Pain and leaving the cave you end up in the Ponizovje area. Head north through the shallow water and when the path forks, head left (west) to Ponizovje West. There is a munitions shed in this area with a SVD rifle inside, take the rifle as it is critical for this trophy. Now head back to the area you came from, save your game and take the other path to Ponizovje Warehouse Docks. You get a cutscene upon entering the area and The End is here as well. Once the cutscene is over, equip the SVD and zoom in on the guard escorting The End. Take him out and then shoot The End as fast as you can. He takes quite a few bullets to put down and will try to escape but if you shoot fast enough his wheelchair will explode and you'll earn this trophy. If you have yet to kill him you will also earn The End. Killing him this way counts as a kill, so reload your save if you are attempting a no-kill run.

(Missable) This trophy is only possible during The End's boss battle; if you didn't kill him earlier or force him to die of old age. Sneaking up on him is not as hard as it may seem, it just requires being in the right place at the right time.

See Boss Data or the video below.

(Missable) This trophy is very easy to miss. To earn the title MARKHOR you must collect all 48 different types of animal and plant life. That is all Snakes, Birds, Fruit, Mushrooms, Fish, Frogs and other non-specific flora/fauna. You do not need to eat, just hold all 48 items in your inventory at least once in a single playthrough. If you have done so, you will earn this trophy at the score screen.

See Collectibles Guide, this Visual Print Guide or the video below.

(Missable) This trophy is very easy to miss. Throughout the game there are 64 Kerotans, almost one in every area of the game. Five are during the Virtuous Mission while the other 59 are during Operation Snake Eater. To "find" the Kerotan you must attack it; shoot it with a weapon or hit it with a melee attack. When hit it will make a noise to indicate you have successfully "found" it. Find all 64 Kerotans in a single file to earn this trophy and the Stealth camouflage at the score screen.

This trophy is pretty straight forward with its wording. Simply beat the game from the start of Virtuous Mission all the way through the credits to the Score Screen and you will earn this trophy.

(Missable) This trophy is not as hard as it sounds. If you play on Very Easy mode; enemies will be weak but you will also have the EZ Gun which acts as a tranquilizer and has infinite ammo. The killing only refers to enemies, you are free to kill as many animals as you want; enemy attack dogs do not count as a kill either. You must also use non-lethal means to deplete the stamina gauge of every boss to achieve this trophy. If you make it through the entire game without a single kill you will earn this trophy at the score screen. In the game there are guards on hovercrafts and motorcycles who will have a nasty wipeout if you shoot them; if you shoot them with a tranquilizer it will not count as a kill. However if you tranquilize an enemy and he ends up dying from falling off a bridge or cliff that will count as a kill, so be careful when subduing the guards.
