And on the sixth day the LORD David Bowie created man and woman in His image. And he saw that it was good. On the seventh day the LORD created videogames so that He might take the bloody day off for once.

Woo thanks, that'll come in handy for sure as I'm nearing the Raven battle.
Shut up Otacon, Kojima made me do this.

Ok wow I just got glitched on. I saved at the mantis fight. I play, die and decide to go for a bathroom break. I come back after a few minutes and hit exit at the continue screen and go to load my game only to see my two act 5 save datas are gone. The begining of act 5 and right before the mantis fight, seriously wtf? Now I have to fight the geckos and ray vs rex again. So close to get this BBE and crap like this has to happen to me.
One wp grenade to a Rat Patrol member in Act 1 is another fast way, plus it's a 1 hit kill even on the Liquid easy difficulty.
Woah, never knew you could die there, I can imagine that being annoying if it happens near the end of the hallway.
That said that whole section is annoying after doing it the first time.

Despite that weird setback I still accomplished the task at hand.
Still have 4-5 playthroughs left but boy it sure feels good to get this one out of the way,

I had something similar happen to me, then found that the more recent saves were actually further down the list for some reason. But I see you already got the emblem, congrats!

Oh god, I see mines and they were waaaaaay down below. I feel so silly now. I got so upset that I didnt even bother to check my entire saves list. Thanks!

Yay! I just spent the last couple of hours rolling out of windows for continues!
You get one or two on the helipad, so you won't be totally empty at least. You'll just have to be slightly stealthier. Even without chaff I'm sure it's easier than acts 1 and 2.

Yeah, if you don't mash the triangle button enough he dies at the very last moment. Total jerk move on the part of the developers.
Congrats but BBE is not a chore and is quite fun, it's chicken that gets really annoying.
I never tried this but will on my next playthrough, if anyone has I was wondering if you hold-up a frog and begin checking them for items, do they mind if you err triangle them using a beauty face camo or will they still kick you?
I ask this because the BnB book gets their attention I figured the face camo would too.

Wait, you can die in there? Wow...
I've always wondered about that, really, because in some playthroughs I really didn't pace myself properly and my arm was so sore near the end of that sequence

I know back you could bring up the XMB to pause that scene and take a break if needed.
Can you still do that or did they fix it?
You get two chaffs at the helipad in act 4, I would advise you to at least save one for the boiler room after the Crying Wolf fight, otherwise you will experience some unneccesary grief.
Yes you can, thank god.

Nah, you should be fine. You get two chaff grenades on the heliport, I'd say use one in the Boiler Room post-Crying Wolf, and then one in the Casting Facility. Should be okay sneaking through the other areas.

I would be so incredibly annoyed by having to go through it again.
Something strangely addictive about running around with the Young Snake face camo on, whilst listening to Zanzibarland Breeze, killing anything that moves (militiamen not included) TPS style. This Chicken Emblem malarkey is quite fun after all...
Speaking of, I've just arrived at Advent Palace and have carried out the following emblem requirements:
Bear
Eagle
Hog
Hawk
Inch Worm
Gibbon
Ant
Bee
Blue Bird
Scarab
I counted every thing (and still do via that helpful spreadsheet), so I definitely hope these emblems unlock at the end. 7 fucking hours of pissing about in the Red Zone. :lol 305 kills as well.

There's a fairly easy route through the Boiler Room that doesn't require Chaffs. From the door where you enter you run left along a catwalk and then press yourself against a wall to shimmy along a narrow platform. From there you can just follow the catwalk you're on towards the exit door, drop down to the level below you, and then roll off that level and you'll be right in front of the elevator. Once in a while you'll time it wrong and get spotted by one of the Dwarf Gekko patrolling that area, but I never thought it was worth using a Chaff on.
I always use mine in the Tank Hangar (I know you don't need one there, but I can never get the timing right) and the second area of the Casting Facility. The rest of the areas are fairly easy to either sneak through or kill the Gekkos with your M82. You can fire a V-Ring round at the Scarab patrolling the area with the bottomless pits just outside Rex's hangar to get through there without waiting.

Question regarding the time-based emblems like hugging a wall, crouching or hiding in a box:
Can you just hug the wall with Triangle and leave Snake there completely still? Will this count? Or do you have to move up and down the wall?
With crouching, can you just sit there crouched the entire time or do you have to move? Same with the box, can you just be prone and motionless while in the box?
Cheers.
Edit: Listening to Backyard Blues while chilling in MGS4 waiting for time to pass is uh...something groovy. Can't believe I never fully explored the iPod before. So many awesome tracks.

Hug a wall and walk away. Same thing with crouching and hiding in a barrel/box.
Only the crawling one requires you to move for however long it requires.

As soon as the fight starts, crawl under the truck that's right in front of you. Get your sniper rifle out, stick night vision on and then just wait. She can't find you under there.
Another question: Using the guide in the OP, it helpfully describes how many flashbacks per cutscene there are. If I were to get the flashbacks in a cutscene but there was still 10 minutes of the cutscene left, can I skip the rest? Or would I need to watch the whole cutscene, even if I saw all the flashbacks in said cutscene?

You can skip the rest. It still counts.
Awesome, thanks.
I did that battle this morning... I had no problems with it, but the one before it... the flying one... omfg... I couldn't believe they had put me up against another boss so quickly after that, and it looked so menacing... but it turned out to be quite easy to me. I guess I got lucky and started shooting the right spots.
Japan got a rerelease, but it wasn't new code, it was just the patch we have.

"Never said I wasn't a hypocrite."
The RailGun or Akiba's Sniper Rifle are 1 kit kills for the B&B Corp. It also doesn't count against you on your BBE run since they have a second form.
do you have any normal stun grenades? if you have enough smokes you can still smoke her once, stun, then alternate between smokes/stuns until she dies.

Do I have to be close because I used akibas sniper rifle after failing for an hour and it seemed it took the same amount of HP as the mosin nagant takes away via headshot also.
didnt try the rail gun though.
I have 10 smokes and 10 stuns. I should try it out.
In about 2 hours and 30 minutes in(just starting crying wolf) Am I good on time?
Turns out when you return to the Mission Briefing menu in the main menu, you need to load your save before watching Act 1's briefing. If you don't and watch the briefing, you don't find any items. If you load your save, then watch the briefing, the items do appear.
Anyway, Boktai 2 Theme + Act 2 + Shooting everything that moves = Spaghetti Western feel. :lol

The easiest way to take out Crying Wolf is just throwing regular stun and smoke grenades. Once you find her throw a smoke grenade so it lands near her (don't hit her with it), and she'll open up her suit. Then, without adjusting your aim, switch to stun grenades and throw two. Smoke her again, then two more stun grenades and it's all over. She always spawns in a different spot at the start of the fight, though, so it might take a few restarts to get her in a good position.
I believe it's Tarantula: fewer than 75 alerts and 25 continues, more than 250 kills. Once you've got what you need for Assassin you just have to grind out another 200 kills.
