Metal Gear Solid 3: Platinum Eater

Collecting PlayStation trophies is one of my favourite video game hobbies. I enjoy recording my trophy journeys in the form of scrapbook articles on Strength in Sarcasm because why not! Here’s the details on my Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater platinum trophy quest.

SPOILER WARNING in case I need to say it. I’ll be talking about all the game’s trophies, which includes plot ruining details if you haven’t played the game yet.

Trophy 1: I Can Totally See You

Official Description: Achieve a camouflage index of +90%
Type: Bronze
Earned on: October 3rd, 2021
Overall Earned: #1684

I was just messing around with the camouflage system and happened to crouch in some grass wearing the Woodland/Leaf combo for 90% concealment. I’ll take the accidental accomplishment!

Trophy 2: Beekeeper

Official Description: Use bees to harass an enemy
Type: Bronze
Earned on: October 3rd, 2021
Overall Earned: #1685

A cutscene implied dropping bees on an unsuspecting guard was a thing that should be done (Snake’s sly smile said so), so I did it! The buzzing and screaming guard sounds resulted in this shiny trophy.

Trophy 3: Young Gun

Official Description: Submit Ocelot
Type: Bronze
Earned on: October 3rd, 2021
Overall Earned: #1686

So I guess this young punk is the older and wiser Ocelot I know from Metal Gear Solid 2? The guy with an arm from another Snake that takes control of him sometimes, right?? Seems to be the case, eh.

In a fancy cutscene, Snake pwns Ocelot’s unit and knocks him out after offering some advice and taunting.

Trophy 4: Pain Relief

Official Description: Defeat The Pain
Type: Bronze
Earned on: October 3rd, 2021
Overall Earned: #1687

Over-the-top and incredibly weird bad guys are Kojima’s thing, right? This is only the 2nd game by him I’ve played so I have to say yes to that question.

Anyway, Snake fights Ocelot again in a duel that is rudely interrupted by The Pain’s man-eating wasp swarm. Snake escapes to a cave and eventually confronts The Pain in a boss fight. This disfigured weirdo has wasp armor, wasp grenades, and wasp swarms you need to avoid by diving underwater.

Trophy 5: Snake Eater

Official Description: Eat a snake of any type
Type: Bronze
Earned on: October 3rd, 2021
Overall Earned: #1688

As the name of the game implies, eating snakes (and other creatures) is indeed a gross thing you do! I’m playing on Very Easy so the stamina meter wasn’t something I had to worry about.

I just ate some stuff to clear out inventory space and was ‘treated’ to a lovely little video of Snake actually eating a snake… ew.
