However, you may prefer to bring Quiet - just in case things get messy.

Speed not stealth is the key to the S-Rank for this mission. Do the following:

Your final infiltration mission is a gauntlet of stealth. You're charged with infiltrating a hilltop castle ruin.

Quiet makes a very good ally for this section of the game. She has multiple sniper perches available and can be repositioned to cover your entry. Bring your Sneaking Suit . It's highly advisable to cover this section at night. The first half of the fortress is actually fairly easy to infiltrate.

Enter the gate through the left side, avoiding guards' field of view, and simply hug the right side of the fortress keeping low.

So long as you stay in cover and darkness and are mindful of fields of view, you should advance halfway through the complex without significant trouble.

The real kicker is the well lit, open plaza past the midway arch. It's crawling with guards and light fixtures. If a single guard is alerted you're likely to be spotted as there are so many bodies ready to initiate a search.

Your best bet here is extreme caution and a little luck. Identify the few points of cover, (between containers, under arches) and very slowly progress toward an edge, working from cover to cover with extreme patience.

If you end up cornered and fear an alert, you can default to Stealth Camouflage and sprint ahead, but this will ruin your S-ranking. However, two bursts of stealth and sprints will carry you to the end from the plaza if you simply want to finish.

Once you reach the level's end, you'll finally meet Skull Face .

He's one crazy dude. Skull Face makes a long speech after you catch up with him at the end of Mission 30.

Another method to get an easy S Rank is to pass the first gate and grab the tank on the right side and just drive it straight to the end of the base. The tank will hold up against the small arms fire of the XOF soldiers. When you hit the last gate jump out and sprint up the stairs. Once you reach Skull Face, you can skip all of the cutscenes including the walking segment and the car section.

Additional method for an easy S Rank, Grab D-Walker as a buddy and equip the shield as one of your primary weapons. Using D-Walker's glide function head straight toward the end of the base right down the middle. The shield will help protect the exposed area when riding D-Walker. Make sure to slow down towards the end because you may fall down the elevator shaft. Sprint up the stairs and reach Skull Face, skip all the cutscenes. You will be spotted, despite this and the possible damage taken the time bonus will outweigh all of this and give you an S Rank.

The Walker Gears patrol each gate at OKB Zero: one at the front gates and one at each of the three gates leading to the elevator shaft. To extract them, you'll need to clear out an area where it'll be safe to grab the driver and then knock him out. Move the Walker out of the enemy's line of sight then Fulton it out.

The cassette tape for "Heaven's Divide" can be found at the top of the stairs just before the helipad. To reach the area, make your way towards the helipad but turn LEFT to the stairs going down (do not trigger the cutscene with Skull Face). This will lead you to the lower section of the helipad where you can grab the cassette tape.

There are 12 containers at OKB Zero but the red-colored ones can only be found at Gate 2 and Gate 3. Use the Wormhole Fulton on them for faster extraction.

There is a single tank sitting at the center of each of the three gates. Sneak up behind them and use the Wormhole Fulton to extract them.

Welcome to Metal Gear Solid 5 - Skull Face , the 30th main story mission of the game, following on from Metallic Archaea .
Once you're back in the air, open your mission list and choose 30-Skull Face. You won't need to select a Landing Zone this time around and will be taken straight to the Sortie Prep screen. Ideally, you'll want to tackle the next mission as stealthily as possible - so pack your favourite infiltration tools and, if you have it, the Sneaking Suit. Finally, select D-Dog as your buddy - along with his Sneaking (Knife) equipment - set the Drop Time to 0600 and commence the mission.
Now that you've learned the location of Skull Face's (not-very-secret, it turns out) hideout, it's time to put a stop to his dastardly plans. You'll need to infiltrate Skull Face's fortress (also known as the secret Soviet weapon design bureau, OKB Zero) and prevent him from deploying the Sahelanthropus that you encountered earlier in the game.
Once you land in the mission zone, begin heading down the hill to the south-east. When you reach the start of the dirt track, take a left and make your way onto the flat grassy outcrop overlooking the road. From here, move north-east and drop from ledge to ledge until you join the road at the bottom. Follow it along to the north-east, heading loosely toward the yellow objective marker, and stop once you arrive at the abandoned guard post.
Skull Face has used his weaponised virus to wipe out the Soviet forces in the area. As such, you won't meet any resistance until you're closer to his base. Pilfer the guard post for supplies (including gun placements and red resource containers) then follow the road to the east, passing through the large stone archway ahead.
On the other side of the archway, continue along the road as it winds around the bay toward Skull Face's hideout. When the route bends to the north-east, look for the crumbling tower perched on the high rock to the left of the road. Immediately lie prone in the tall grass on the left-hand side of the road to avoid the sniper ahead.
When you're safely hidden from view, look north-east and locate the large entrance gate in the distance, surrounding by hostiles. In order to reach the other side of the gate, you'll need to find a safe route around the soldiers, Walkers and snipers stationed outside.
Skull Face's many, many troops are incredibly well-armed (and armoured). As such, it's wise to avoid engaging hostiles completely as you attempt to infiltrate the base. To that end, we'll be taking a fairly circuitous route toward Skull Face, keeping well away from enemy patrols.
Stick to the left-hand side of the road and carefully move through the tall grass toward the gate in the distance. As you near your target, keep watch for proximity mines lying in your path - and adjust your route accordingly.
Before long, you'll spot several barricades positioned immediately outside the gate. Just to the left, there's a path leading up a hill toward a dilapidated tower. Make your way to the base of the hill and begin navigating the various stones and ledges at the bottom until you reach the path above. Follow it up to the tower then climb the ladder. Once you reach the top, immediately lie prone.
Turn to face north-east and begin descending the slope ahead, using the stone blocks on your right as cover. Shortly, you'll spot a small path on your right leading to ground level. Follow it down and carefully make your way south-east through the tall grass. Keep the barricades to your left and then, once you reach the road, carefully cross over to the other side. Note that there's a sniper situated to the north-east so don't dawdle around!
Once you've crossed the road, locate the narrow dirt path leading up the hill to the south-west. Next, make your way to the top, still using the tall grass as cover. When the path levels out, take a left and head south-east until you reach the long stone wall. Move in close, putting the wall to your right, and cautiously begin crawling along it.
Keep low in the grass and patiently work your way along the wall, moving toward the huge orange cranes in the distance. Eventually, you'll spot another low archway behind a barricade ahead. Make you way toward it, still sticking close to the wall, and slip passed the two guards to your left, standing directly in front of the archway. Note that the grass thins out considerably as you close in on the guards, so you'll need to be proceed extra cautiously.
Once you're safely behind the soldiers, cross over to the other side of the road (moving north-west) and begin scaling the incline ahead. Navigate the rocks and ledges until you reach the ladder set into the high, south-west-facing wall. Make your way to the top and pass through the hole.
Once you've entered the room at the top of the ladder, head left and make your way down the steps on the right. Be warned that the area ahead is positively crawling with hostiles (and there's an enemy gunship roaming the skies) so you'll need to remain as stealthy as possible.
If you're spotted at any point, the resulting gunfire can be hard to escape - so it's often easiest to reload your previous checkpoint and try again.
At the bottom of the steps, turn left and drop off the ledge to your right. Once you land, quickly move south-east into the alleyway, watching out for the camera to the north-east
