Super useful!

Slight correction for Groznyj Grad

You have #43 with the the description of #50 and #44 with the description of #43

faux 4 Mar @ 6:19am

You can actually get the Fury's kerotan from the catwalk right before the fight, using a sniper. Great guide!

miku simp 28 Jan @ 9:55pm

don't even own master collection yet (playing hdc), but this guide has been super useful. if you're super paranoid like me, use the directional mic to confirm the sound after you shoot one and save often. missing a frog is easy if you're not paying attention. I had to reload saves multiple times because I would breeze through an area without thinking lol.

Toxic_Avenger 28 Nov, 2024 @ 10:21am

Thanks a lot man

SquidKamer 1 Oct, 2024 @ 10:26pm

Incredible guide but it seems the Master Collection is bugged. I only needed one playthrough to get all of them in the HD Collection. I beat the game 4 times today with this guide. Exactly as shown and the rank just doesnt pop up at the end. Only Bat rank. Wore the GA-KO camo to be sure they were collected.

Mulqueeny 18 Jan, 2024 @ 2:43pm

"I would advise saving after leaving the area." This right here. This is how I missed one right at the beginning of the game. I hit it saved then exited, because it was right before the Ocelot boss fight. Then When I reloaded I thought it's fine I got this one, however it doesn't count if you don't save after leaving the area.

The Table [author] 18 Jan, 2024 @ 12:48pm

Make sure to save the game once you hit a Kerotan Doll, I would advice saving after leaving the area.

The Table [author] 18 Jan, 2024 @ 12:47pm

You don't have to collect all Kerotans in a single playthrough but it helps keeping track of the ones you missed if you do it from the beginning, regarding Snake Eyes, I read that you have to see all the cutscenes without loading a previous save. So starting from Krasnogojore Mountaintop all the way to the credits, mostly not skipping any cutscenes related to the achievement.
