Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain Walkthrough – Mission 48: [Extreme] Code Talker

The primary objective of this mission is to reach the mansion's basement. However, keep in mind that a group of female Skull snipers will ambush you, as you encountered them previously. It's best to avoid engaging them; fighting is not necessary. Instead, follow the water toward the waterfall. As you approach the end, look to your left and spot a narrow path that you can climb. This path will lead you up the mountain, allowing you to bypass the Skull encounter entirely. Once at the top, make your way to the mansion and get ready to infiltrate it.



From this point, proceed carefully, taking out soldiers one by one. You don’t need to eliminate all of them—just enough to create a clear path into the house and down to the basement where Code Talker is located. It’s crucial not to leave any bodies behind; if enemies discover a fallen comrade, the situation will escalate rapidly. To maximize your chances of staying undetected, either use the Fulton system to extract the bodies or hide them thoroughly. Once you have Code Talker, it's time to make your exit. However, upon reaching the top, you’ll encounter dozens of puppet soldiers, a consequence of not dealing with the Skulls earlier. At this point, stealth is no longer essential; you can either dash past them or choose a more lethal approach to clear your way.



For your exit, head south while staying close to the right side. Although the Skulls will be monitoring the area, following this route will lead you to a narrow path that goes behind the waterfall.



You'll reach a point where Snake won't climb over the obstacle because he's carrying Code Talker. Although it may seem a bit unkind, just toss Code Talker over the barrier, then climb up yourself and continue carrying him. When you enter the forest, it will be crawling with puppet soldiers. It’s fine if they spot you—just make sure to avoid getting hit. You can either sneak past them or dash through, and as you approach the edge of the forest, call in your helicopter for extraction!
