Mission 3: A Hero's Way

- Choose the northern landing zone (this walkthrough will use this as starting point). You'll also get to see the mission preparation menu for the first time. Right now, you've got everything equipped you need (and essentially have), so just continue. Select drop time 0600.

- You'll come across a small outpost as you ride towards your destination. You can take out the guards if you wish, and collect some materials from the crates in the center of the outpost camp.

- When you reach Shago Village, you should first secure the surroundings. This means the following. Take out your map (with north facing top) and check out the village. There are three smaller buildings (to the north, northeast, and southeast) and one larger building with an large watchtower next to it. You'll want to take out the guards on top of these buildings, then take out one or two guards in the field, allowing you to move towards the main building much more easily. Although you can extract various soldiers, most of them are fairly poorly skilled.

- Approach the main building from the south and snear around the east side; a guard is watching the north side (facing north). You can take him out quite easily; hide his body around the corner between some grass.

- Enter th[Subsistence] courtyard and ignore the power generator. Mark the guard at the other side of the gate and approach that wall; another soldier will converse with the guy. Now's a good time to hop through the window of the main building and loot the place, but be sure to sneak very quietly around here, as there are more guards on the floor above you that might hear your footsteps. There are various materials and most importanty the Kids in America Casette Tape in the living room.

- Go back outsid[Subsistence] and take out the guard near/outside the gate, provided he's done conversing, and hide him. Now climb the wooden stairs., sneak towards the ladder and take out the guard at the watchtower. Also tranquilize the guard down below that was conversing a minute ago.

- Head down the ladder and open the door; the target is inside, so immediately tranq him, drag him outside, and extract him. The only thing left to do now is to get out ASAP, preferably unseen. Call D-horse when you're far enough away from the guards, or alternatively look for a jeep to the northeast. In any case, race out of the area and keep going for a while until the mission will automatically be over.

- [Subsistence]-Rank Tips: When you've obtained the Sniper Rifle later in the game, position yourself on a high vantage point north or east of the village and kill the commander whenever he peeks out of one of the main building's windows. (This also takes care of the optional mission objective to kill the commander from 100+ meters.) Quickly exfiltrate with D-horse.

Side Ops 1: Extract Interpreter (Russian):

If yo[Subsistence] haven't done this Side Ops yet, now is a good time to do so. Select it from your iDroid and head towards the guard post east of Spugmay Keep. Neutralize all guards and Fulton extract the interpreter (with the beret). You can now understand Russian.
