Like all other platinum trophies, earn all others to earn this one.

This trophy is the very beginning of earning Great Dane. Numerous enemies in the game hold a dog tag. Collect your first dog tag as either Snake or Raiden to earn this trophy.

See Great Dane for dog tag details

This can be worked on by Snake and Raiden and will take more than one playthrough to accomplish. Unlike the enemy personnel, the cameras do not respawn and are few in number. To earn this trophy you need to disable 15 cameras (shoot with a lethal weapon). The counter only stays current if you start a new game by loading your clear game data.

This can be done as Snake or Raiden and in numerous places throughout the game. Wherever there's a fire extinguisher you need to lure a guard near it and then shoot it with a lethal weapon (tranquilizers won't work) to earn this trophy. The earliest possible time to get this trophy is as Snake in the area Deck-D, Crew's Quarters.

This trophy is missable but that can be fixed by saving your game during the final battle with Solidus. Once Solidus is dead the ending cinematics will start. Snake will ask Raiden about the dog tag and Raiden will say he's not sure; the camera will zoom in on the dog tag at this point. Once the camera changes angle it will slowly pan to the left while focusing on Raiden. Use the and to zoom the camera in while between Snake and Raiden to spot Vamp standing next to a car.

This can be done as Snake or Raiden and in numerous places throughout the game. First you need to get a girlie mag (they're titled book), now look for a patrolling enemy. Plant the magazine in his patrol route and when he stumbles upon it, he'll look through it and you'll earn this trophy.

This can be done only by Snake. In Hold 1 of the tanker, near the front of the formation is a single Marine who is not wearing his trousers. Use the camera Otacon has you use (not the digital camera) and snap a picture of him. You know you have a good picture of it because Snake will say "Good." With that picture saved on the camera use the terminal you use to upload the Metal Gear pictures to send it to Otacon. Otacon will laugh at it and you will earn this trophy.

This can be done as Snake or Raiden and in numerous places throughout the game. Wherever there's a locker you need to open it up, now knock out a guard and drag him over to the locker to stash him inside it and earn this trophy. The earliest possible time to get this trophy is as Snake in the area Deck-A, Crew's Quarters.

This trophy is storyline related and cannot be missed. You will meet Ames as Raiden in the B1 floor of the Core 1 structure. You will earn this trophy after all the cutscenes.

This can be done by Snake or Raiden. It's simple enough, use the M9 Tranquilizer or PSG1-T to knock out 100 enemies. Non-lethal boss kills count for this as well. Tranquilize 100 enemies for this trophy.

This can be done by Snake or Raiden. It's simple enough, grab enemies and apply pressure until their neck breaks. The difficulty setting does not matter as once they're grappled, the enemy has no way of fighting back and their increased life will not matter. It's easier to grab an enemy by sticking them up first. Once Raiden has the Coolant Spray you can knock out your enemy for Rent Money or Nothing Personal before you wake them up and snap their neck.

This can be done by Snake or Raiden. It's simple enough, beat on enemies with your melee attack until they're unconscious (they'll have stars over their head). This is a lot easier on the easier difficulties as enemies are not as hardy and will go unconscious from a single combo. It's also a lot easier to combo them by sticking them up first. Once Raiden has the Coolant Spray you can knock them out before killing them for Nothing Personal or tranquilizing them for Don't Taze Me, Bro.

This trophy is storyline related and cannot be missed. You will befriend Olga as Raiden in the torture room of Arsenal gear. You will earn this trophy after all the cutscenes.

From the Main Menu select Missions; now choose your character, what type of mission you want to do and the specific mission you want to complete. Successfully complete the mission to earn this trophy.

See Virtually Impossible for additional details.

This trophy is missable as there are only two locations you can hear Johnny's stomach problems. The first one is in the B1 floor of the Core 1 structure. Once you find Ames he'll tell you to listen in on the conversation between Olga, Solidus and Ocelot. Ignore their conversation and turn to your left; point the microphone near the flagpole near the podium to hear Johnny complain about his diarrhea. The second location is at the oil fence, while you're covering Emma as she walks across the narrow walkways. Once you clear the way you can use the directional microphone and listen to her. Once she makes it to the second platform, pull out the directional microphone and point it at the structure. Johnny will find her, they'll talk for a bit and then he'll let her go and you'll earn this trophy.

Note: There have been reports of this trophy not unlocking after listening to both Johnny conversations. There is no known fix for this, you will have to run through the game again to try again. The best piece of advice I can give is make sure you hear both of his stomach grumbles.

This can be done as Snake or Raiden and in numerous places throughout the game. In certain lockers are pinups of girls on the inside part of the locker door. Go inside the locker and close the door, angle your view down to the poster and firmly press to zoom in on the poster and then let go. While it zooms in and out you should hear a smooching noise, do it correctly and you'll earn this trophy. The earliest possible time to get this trophy is as Snake in the area Deck-A, Crew's Quarters.

This can be done by Snake or Raiden. First you will need a lethal weapon because tranquilizers cannot destroy the radios. The easiest way to shoot an enemy's radio is by sticking them up and shooting it from their back; all enemies wear their radio on the back right side of their hip. Shooting an enemy's radio without sticking them up will sound an alert so keep that in mind. You can work on this trophy while also working towards Rent Money, Nothing Personal and Don't Taze Me, Bro.

This can be done in only a few places throughout the game, mainly wherever large pipes are. While an enemy stands near a pipe you need to shoot the pipe and have it bust open with steam. You can shoot an enemy a few times to weaken them before the steam or steam them multiple times to have them die. The earliest time to earn this trophy is as Snake in the Engine Room passageways; they're narrow and have plenty of steam pipes running through them.

This can be done only as Snake. A few of the lockers on the tanker has pinups of girls on them. Hold to enter first-person view and focus your view on the poster. Snake's vision will start bobbing faster and the controller will lightly vibrate. Keep holding and press to call Otacon and have him chastise you for this trophy. The earliest possible time to get this trophy is as Snake in the area Deck-A, Crew's Quarters.

After clearing the game and making a clear save (your save data will be red). From the main menu go to the following options; Special > Casting Theater. Press once to select "Demo 8 (Solidus VS Raiden: The Final Battle)." Now change Raiden's character to Rose and Solidus's character to Raiden and play the clip. Watch the entire clip through to earn a quick trophy.

There are three ways to obtain the digital camera. The first method is simply beat the game by going the Tanker-Plant scenario. The second method is earning Box E on the plant and getting on the conveyor belt on Strut E, this will take you to a room with the camera. The third method is after escorting Emma you'll be in Strut E, go to the lower level of Strut E and with your new Level 5 card you can enter the room with the camera.

This can be done as Snake or Raiden and in numerous places throughout the game, mainly wherever is a ledge you can dangle from. While dangling from a ledge press and hold + to have Snake/Raiden perform a pull-up. You will have to do a total of 200 pull-ups to reach grip level 3. You know you reached the next grip level as grip level 2 is yellow and grip level 3 is grey. A successful pull-up is from a dead-hang and holding it until Snake/Raiden's head stops shaking as he pulls himself up. If you release the buttons before then, the pull-up may not be counter. You should also do this with some sort of ground beneath your feet so you don't fall to your death. There's a faster way to level your grip gauge. Hang over a ledge with a ledge below you; press to drop and then quickly press to grab onto the ledge below your original ledge. A ledge catch counts as 10 pullups.

Note: Snake must reach grip level 2 before reaching the holds in the Tanker to get every dog tag.

This trophy is storyline related and cannot be missed. You fight Olga as Snake. You earn this trophy in the cutscene after the battle.

See Boss Data for fight details.

This is a Snake specific trophy. Once you reach the holds on the Tanker you'll be going through a few rooms full of Marines who are watching the Commadant's speech on giant screens. You need to sneak through the first hold to the second one where there are two screens. Go to the projector at the back of the hold (don't pass in front of the picture) and interact with it until the picture is on the right screen. Now using the camera Otacon wants you to use (not the digital camera), take pictures of the right screen to see a ghost image of Hideo Kojima. You may get the picture numerous times before earning this trophy as not every picture will activate the trophy. When you get a successful picture you will hear Snake grunt. Since this trophy can be tricky there is also a video below.

From the Main Menu select Special then Boss Survival. Boss Survival has 3 difficulties and you can complete it on Easy for this trophy. You will have to fight through all boss encounters (except Fortune) and two enemy encounters with limited gear. You can also select between Snake and Raiden; I recommend selecting Raiden as Snake isn't a "fan of blades" and will end up fighting Solidus with his bare hands. Each encounter (except Vamp) has at least 1 Ration somewhere in the area, be sure to pick them up to give yourself a better chance at survival. This trophy will appear at the score screen once you beat all the bosses.

Boss List
Olga Gurlukovich > Tanker Hallway Ambush > Fatman > Harrier II > Vamp > Arsenal Tengu Ambush > Metal Gear Rays > Solidus Snake

This is a joint effort between Snake and Raiden and must be done on the Tanker-Plant scenario. There are 7 boxes scattered throughout the game and you must find all 7 of them in a single playthrough.

Snake (2)
Orange Box - In Deck-D, Crew's Quarters; from the stairs head right into the storage room.
Wet Box - In Navigational Deck, Wing; after the Olga battle go past the bridge to the other side of the deck to find this box.

Raiden (5)
Box 1 - In Strut A, Pump Room; in the actual pump room (level 1 door).
Box 2 - In Strut F, Storage Room; on the bottom floor in the room on the left at the bottom.

Box 4 - In B2 of Shell 1 Core; it is near the computer servers to the right of the parrot.
Box 5 - Strut E, Parcel Room; just below the console on a small platform connected to the conveyor.

From the Main Menu select Snake Tales. These are five different missions featuring Snake and how things may have gone differently. All of these missions are on pre-set difficulties and some of them have difficult situations you need to get yourself out of. At the end of each mission you can save your data (it's separate from the storyline data). Clear all 5 missions on the same file to earn this trophy.

Please use this Guide if you are having difficulties.

This trophy is not as difficult as it may sound, you just need to stay out of sight from enemies and cameras. The enemy can "see" you as long as you never see the ALERT marker in the upper right hand part of your screen. It can go CAUTION but that's as high as it can go. It is wise to save your game often because if you are seen, you must reload your last save to clear your alert record; dying and selecting Retry will not work. If you collect enough dog tags (Tanker-76, Plant-80) each character will have access to their stealth suit which makes this trophy even easier to obtain. Make it through the Tanker-Plant scenario without causing a single alert to earn this trophy.

Mandatory Alerts:

Tanker - Olga Fight
Tanker - Engine Room Hallway Fight
Plant - Fortune Event
Plant - Fatman Fight
Plant - Escaping Core 1
Plant - Harrier Fight
Plant - Vamp Fight
Arsenal - Tengu Gauntlet
Arsenal - Metal Gear Ray Army Fight
New York - Solidus Fight

The trophy description here is misleading. It says to collect all dog tags, but all you really need to do is collect all unlockable items. There are 6 items in total; 2 of which are in the Tanker scenario and will require almost 3 full dog tag collections to earn. The other 4 are in Plant scenario and will require collecting every dog tag in the Plant scenario. The final item in the Tanker scenario is the Stealth which is rewarded upon collecting 76 Tanker Dog tags; the final Plant scenario item is the Blue Wig which is rewarded upon collecting all (218) Plant Dog tags.

To get a guard to relinquish his dog tag; you need to sneak up behind them and ready your weapon at them, Snake/Raiden will say "Freeze!" and the guard will put his hands up and freeze. Keeping pressed, hold and move to the front of the guard. Go into first person view and point your weapon at their head or groin, most guards will get scared and shake their dog tag loose. Some guards refuse to budge and need more coaxing; equip a lethal weapon and shoot near their body or in a limb and they'll lose their resolve. Point your weapon at their head or groin again and they'll surrender their dog tag.

See this Guide for the Tanker Dog Tags.
See this Guide for the Plant Dog Tags.

As the trophy description says, beat both scenarios on any difficulty to obtain this trophy. This trophy will pop at the title/reward screen that comes after the credits.

From the Main Menu select Missions; now choose your character, what type of mission you want to do and the specific mission you want to complete. Successfully complete all of the missions to earn this trophy. There are 7 characters to choose from; Raiden, Raiden Ninja, Raiden X, Snake, Pliskin, Snake (Tuxedo) and Snake (MGS1). Each character has their own missions, some more difficult than others; Snake (MGS1) has by far the most difficult missions. This trophy will probably take a few sessions to complete, be sure to save your data before quitting the game or turning your console off. There is no auto-save function and if you don't save you'll lose any progress you've made.
