Please note this cheevo is protected against the 'skip half the game' glitch. If you use it, the cheevo won't trigger. That's by design, gotta do this one legit, like a real Big Boss. Sorry. XD

Difficulty: Extreme on all versions except Original Japanese. Time: Under 3 Hours. Continues: 0. Alerts: 3 to 4. Kills: 25 or less. Rations: 0 to 1. Saves: 0 to 80. Radar: Off. Notes: There are 11 required kills in the game for all bosses. The original Japanese release is Easy difficulty only, but the top rank is Big Boss. You must turn off the radar in SPECIAL to get Big Boss in the original Japanese release, otherwise you get the rank FOX.

I started a new save file and I haven't gotten Big Boss rank twice now and haven't gotten this. for some reason the end screen says I used stealth and bandana even though I used a fresh save file and never had access to either special items the whole run.

That's odd. That shouldn't happen if you didn't load a cleared game. If you can send me your save I can look into it

Need some help. I'm currently at the point after the torture section (1 hour or so in) and i can see in my profile that i already have 2 alerts triggered but i don't recall if i actually got spotted or that's just the scripted alert with Meryl during the 1st prison escape. Does that count? If so then i'm all good because the 2nd time is the one where i got spotted by Johnny using the ketchup but if not then i'll have to restart the whole thing.

Absolutely getting my ass handed to me attempting this but I know it will be quite worth it

2h55m that was close!

GokuSnake 2 Sep 2024 09:52

can you still get the big boss rank if you submit to the torture or do you have to pass them all?

guddentehpwner 4 Sep 2024 06:44

I'm not sure if that matters. But there is an achievement in this set that requires you to go through 5 torture sequences on Extreme. So it must be done to master the game anyway.

This speedrun walkthrough was pretty much my bible for this entire Big Boss run.
Still super difficult though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLAULKeyO1g

Getting the Big Boss rank was very tiring. 2h32m

For all the guys outhere, you don't need ketchup for Johnny, that is one alert you don't need. After Otacon comes to rescue, go under bed, hide until Johnny states, there is nobody in the room, wait for him to look under the bed, crawl, get behind, do the choke (important info) when you heard "ugghh" don't count that , and do the 9 chokes before letting it go.

I'm lousy shooter, dodger, and even me with all those poor skills managed to do this under 2:40. I did many mistakes, which I'm aware of. Great recomendation is from the guy from above. Save at every new entrance at area!

Done in 2:31, let's go

i noticed the skip half the game glitch turns off the achievement but does the communication tower skip also turn off the achievement?
