Demon Snake Memory Editing
By Ripheus
Once you do enough lethal takedowns in MGS5, you'll be permenantly covered in blood, ruining the cutscenes and making the game kind of a farce. If you're like me and would prefer to wear your sins on the inside, you can do the following to set your demon points to whatever value you'd like, turning on or off demon snake at will.

Do this
1) Download a memory editor. This guide will assume you're using Cheat Engine.
http://www.cheatengine.org/

2) Run MGS5, go out into the world, minimize the window.

3) Run Cheat Engine, and load the MGSVTPP process in.

4) Scan type "Bigger than" value "1" hit the First Scan button. Wait.

5) Back in the game, find a single guard out in the world. Heatshot him cleanly.

6) In Cheat Engine, Scan type "Increased value by" value "60", hit the Scan Next button. This will locate where your demon points are being stored in memory. You may find multiple memory locations. In this case, headshot another soldier, then scan next another 60. Repeat until you have one* (or two values, see below)

7) Edit your demon points. Setting them to something small like 5 will restore you to non-bloody once you return to Mother Base.


** After the latest patch, there seem to be two memory locations tracking your demon points. One seems to be for the current sorte or playsession, and the larger number is how many demon points you have total. You'll want to edit the larger number.

That Cheat Engine table you linked me to worked like a charm! Thanks!

Wow. I'm not sure what's changed then. We've had some patches since this guide was written. This forum here has been good about staying on top of this stuff:

I'm afraid I no longer have TPP installed so I can't be of much help in troubleshooting, sorry.

It doesn't seem to work for me.
I found the address just fine, but when I changed the value to 0 and went back to Mother Base to shower I still had the long horn and the blood still wouldn't wash off.
I figured it might be because it needed a value higher than 0, so I entered 5 in stead, then I went to the animal conservation platform and back again, but then the value changed itself to just under 4.3 Billion.
