Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain Walkthrough – Mission 1: Phantom Limbs

To locate Kazuhira, you'll first need to gather some intelligence. Ride to Da Wialo Village and infiltrate the main building. You'll find the intel file on the second floor, which will reveal Miller's exact location.

Make your way to the largest building in town, identifiable by its radio equipment and flag. There are several ways to enter, but whichever route you take, be sure to explore thoroughly. The building contains numerous items to collect, including a Tape and a Diamond.

However, these items aren’t your main objective, so head to the second floor of the building. The easiest way to reach it is via the stairs at the back. Once you’re up there, you’ll find the intel that will lead you to Kaz.

Now that you have a clearer idea of Kaz's location, you can start making your way there. However, there are many other points on the map worth exploring to gather additional resources, so feel free to do that if you wish. If you prefer, you can head directly toward your objective.

Your target is the building shown in the pictures. However, be aware that several guards will be patrolling the area, so proceed slowly through town and check around corners before moving past them.

You'll find Kazuhira in a guard room near the tape player. Once you locate him, carry him out and place him on your horse. Exiting the town should be relatively straightforward, but if necessary, you can make a quick escape. While this method is faster, it’s also much louder and could attract attention.

As you attempt to exfiltrate from the area, the Skulls will appear to block your path. There’s no way to confront them directly, so hop on your horse and follow the ground to the left of the bridge. Once you reach the hill, veer left and sprint toward the new landing zone. If you get spotted at any point, just run at full speed and keep going; there’s no way to fight these enemies.

Quickly bring Kazuhira to the LZ and toss him onto the chopper. Ensure you’re not standing directly in the landing spot. Once the chopper lands, dismount and lift Kaz off the horse. Place him in the chopper and then hop in yourself.
