Me. and I never use the phantom cigar. I just took the missions how it comes.
I was using GZ stealth suit lol
I just completed anyway and got the S. Mines really helped, I had already completed it once but used some of my time memorizing some of the routes and it payed off.
Same here! Never used the Phantom Cigar once.
I think my biggest complaint in the game is that the Extreme/Total Stealth/Subsistence modifier should have been available on every single mission.
Good job, now for the optional objectives:
Extract 7 tanks and 7 armored cars & Quiet takes no damage
kill me

Am I the only one to have beaten mission 45 on the first try with my rocket launcher alone? I don't get why the entire internet is having so much trouble with it. I even got the optional objective demanding that
Quiet doesn't take any damage.
I'm gonna bring D-Walker and the Fulton Ballista for that shit. Believe that.

Finished this up last night, including Missions 45 and 46.
Overall all, I really enjoyed it. Finally playtime was something over 80 hours (probably around 85, I forgot to check the final), I did 81 side ops I think.
It definitely has a lot of flaws too though that keep it from being my GOTY (it's at least behind Bloodborne and Witcher 3 for me). Too many filler missions, lacking story, empty and largely pointless open world, etc. hold it back. But still a great game as the core gameplay is so damn good.

Mission 20 spoilers
Did anyone else beat the Man on Fire via the weather? I was trying to use the water pistol to down him and was getting nowhere, when eventually it started to rain, Ocelot thanked mother nature and I hopped on the chopper. Was the game showing me mercy for having and committing to such a stupid plan?

I think its just this game's version of The End battle from 3
im glad that the tanks did not snipe you from beyond a hill and kill you with a single hit
quiet not getting damage is easy since she is fucking useless in that mission. i was in the front lines most of the mission. i would've bodied them wiith my boy d-walker.
hell, even riding on d-horse would've made that mission more of a cakewalk.
Some ass spoiled something major for me last week. No worries, plenty of great moments and quotes are still out there.

The Tanks aren't a single hit kill in Battle Dress.
welp, why did I click that. ;_;
Had no idea Volgin was in the game
I just
lured him up to the reservoir, waited until his back was turned to me and he was facing the water, then shot him in the back with the shotgun to knock him in the water.
Time to drop in a vehicle.
Yes.

Ughhh I finally beat Mission
.
I raged after my first 3 attempts, so on my 4th attempt I decided to just run over to the

I raged after my first 3 attempts, so on my 4th attempt I decided to just run over to the
airfield and fulton the truck and exfiltrate via D-Horse. Easy as hell, no bullshit from the Skulls blowing up the truck whenever I try to escape with it.

It's not that big of a spoiler.
Accidentally stumbled on mission 11 a little early. Few things I'd like to know; is it possible to cqc
if you sneak up and what happens if you beat her non-lethally? I spent an hour taking pot shots with my tranq pistol thinking
. In the end I got frustrated and pulled out a sniper rifle. I feel like there a probably a lot of interesting ways to handle that fit though that I didn't find
quiet
I wouldn't get her as a buddy if I used lethal weapons
I tried CQC/punching her a few times, but it just wouldn't register. Although this was awhile back, and they may have patched it.
Beating her non-lethally just checks off one of the mission tasks. And is much easier once you get the tranq sniper rifle.

For the poeple that have had issues with S rank on some missions, have you guy looked at the youtube guides? I know you might think its cheap but instead of getting all upset just check out some guides. There are some really good ones out there, I haven't done mission 45 yet but I should be doing that tonight as I'm pretty far in the game. It probably helps that I have spent a lot of time developing equipment so I have most all the best stuff at this point.
You can
beat her with lethal weapons. They won't kill her and you'll still get her as a buddy. I think there's an optional objective you check off if you take her down with tranqs though.

Those missions are all optional. Just do the important (Yellow) missions, sideops, and tapes to proceed.
the first time I did it, I was doing a side mission and it just turned into a main op without notice. I did not have anything ready to take on what was coming. had to develop a ton of shit since I pretty much do not use most of that stuff to begin with.

Soooo, I'm probably years behind everyone else.
But I just watched the Quiet to Ocelot character model swap rain scene.
I don't care what you say, this scene is cannon to me.

you step out of your truck and look into the eyes of doge with his stun knife. poor bastards.
I've been looking for a haoma plant in the desert on I think mission 3 (A Hero's Way) for like 15 minutes now. The fuck, do the just not spawn sometimes? Oh and do you have to get all of the attainable skills in a mission for 100%?
Also, what does extracting (later game spoiler)

skull zombie guys get you? Anything? I can figure out how to get parasites. I've extracted a few and nothing

Act 2 has
6.5 new story missions + a handful of important side ops. It's just that strange design decision to count the 12 repeats of previous story missions as new numbered main story missions which confuses people.
The fun part is that they didn't even have to pad this to inflate the total mission count to 50 if they had just counted the important side ops as main missions (which they should've done in the first place).

You don't get anything from extracting puppets, just "proper" members of the skull units.
What I did:
Get him to notice me, call chopper to lower LZ, lure him to upper water tower, rocket launcher it to dump water on him, and book it to the chopper. Took a couple tries as he would hit the chopper with fireballs as I was leaving. Doubt this was the "intended" method.
I also saw videos of people ramming him off the cliff into the river using the jeep. No rush in that case to get to the chopper.

I think it's difficult not to as long as one finishes, I believe that one gets a good amount of bonuspoints.
This is actually what I did too. Worked great.
Where do you even find those guys after the end of the game?

Glad it's not just me. The camera starts spinning around and other things. And yeah, got spotted due to it one time.

What I did:
Pulled out a shotgun and shot him into the square pool of water. I think the first two shots would stun him, and the third would send him reeling. When he landed in the water, he was defeated instantly.

Can you interupt the passage of time when using the Phantom Cigar? What does upgrading it do? Lengthen the time passed when using it?

Just play those Skull missions again. You don't really "beat" this game and then roll credits, just missions and objectives until you reach 100%.

Hit left while he's smoking to stop the passage of time. I think upgrading it offers more uses, and also lengthens the amount of time you can get from one use.
Yeah man - tap left on the D-pad, like to 'Unequip' it. (Very unintuitive, should have been any button press.)
I think upgrading it increases the max time you can pass. You can only pass 12-24 hours at first level I think - I've upgraded it once and I think I can skip 2 days in one go.
