Mission 3 - A Hero's Way | Walkthrough MGS V: TPP Guide

General description of the mission

The third Metal Gear Solid V main mission is definitely shorter than the first one and is located in a much smaller area. The obligatory part is to find and kill or kidnap the Spetsnaz commander. You need to remember that you have to choose if you want to kill him or kidnap him and if you would like to do both of these things you have to complete this mission twice. Beside the main mission you may also complete two easy side missions. One of them is focused on finding a rare plant, and the other one - on finding some raw materials.

Available tasks

• PRIMARY (1/2): Eliminated the Spetsnaz commander - You may find the commander in the Da Shago Kallai village where he spends his time mostly on the ground floor of the building in the center of the village however from time to time he walks away from there (you may recognize him thanks to his red beret). Remember that if you will kill him you are going to be unable to transport him to the Mother Base.
• PRIMARY (2/2): Extracted the Spetsnaz commander - Knock out the commander with a soporific bullet and fulton him away or transport him by yourself to the landing zone for a helicopter.
• SECONDARY (1/3): Eliminated the Spetsnaz commander from long distance (100m or more) - If you have decided to kill the commander you may try to use a sniper rifle such as the one you can unlock by research in the Mother Base.
• SECONDARY(2/3): Picked a haoma in the desert between Shago Village and Spugmay Keep - You may find this plant couple hundred of meters southeast of Da Shago Kallai village. You may collect it either before or after the mission.
• SECONDARY(3/3): Secured the processed materials hidden in Shago Village - You may find a single Common Metal box hidden under the bridge in the western part of the Da Shago Kallai village.

Preparations for the mission

This mission is much easier during the night so you may decide to wait for the 6 PM to begin it. If you want to kill the commander you should take a sniper rifle which is unable for you at the beginning of the game however it is easy to construct it in the Mother Base. You may for example begin with RENOV-ICKX SR sniper rifle (40000 GMP, fourth level of R&D).
