You may not alter or reproduce this guide in anyway. This FAQ may be used on: www.gamefaqs.com www.neoseeker.com www.supercheats.com --------------- V. Introduction --------------- If any of the information is wrong and needs correcting please email me with the correction and I will give you the credit for it. This FAQ is not yet complete but I will try to complete it in ample time. Most of these are ranks my friends and I have gotten and *TRIED* to confirm the requirements the best we could, again it is open to correction. Another thing to remember is although a certain requirement is listed it doesn't mean that it is meant to be there. For example, "Play Time" was listed for the Panther Ranking but it's been confirmed now that "Play Time" has nothing at all to do with getting that rank. --------------------- VI.

The box should say something like TCHNKO. After you are captured go to the waterfall and meet EVA, after the cut scene go back outside the waterfall and search the area to find the Tsuchinoko, do not kill it, just shoot it with the Tranquilizer gun. ----------------------- Codename Rank: Kerotan Difficulty: Very Easy/Easy/Normal/Hard/Extreme Requirements Shoot all 64 Kerotan frogs. ----------------------- Codename Rank: Hound Difficulty: Easy/Normal/Hard/Extreme Requirements Special Item: No Use Alert Mode: 0/0/1/2 times Damage: -10 life bars (Easy Only) Kills: 0 humans Saves: -25 (Easy Only)/-50 (Hard Only) saves Continues: 0 continues LF Med: 0/0/-3/ Use as many as you want on Extreme.

Frequently Asked Questions ------------------------------- Q: Why can't I find a Tsuchinoko, I've been looking for [time]? A: I am not sure why some people have a hard time finding the Tsuchinoko, I found it within one minute. Q: Where is the Tsuchinoko after I get captured? A: Go outside the waterfall after talking to EVA and it should be in that area, near the tree where the waterfall empties into the stream. Q: Is it true to get the Chameleon Ranking all you need is no alerts? A: Yes. You can die, continue, save, and kill as many people as you want, all you need to do is not get seen. --------------------------- VIII.
