Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain – [Extreme] Code Talker Mission Objectives

This is episode 28 on extreme difficulty, so make sure you're prepared.

  • Make contact with Code Talker
  • Extract Code Talker
  • Extract Code Talker without him taking damage
  • Eliminate the Skulls
  • Extract the Skulls
  • Extract the armored vehicle sealing off Lufwa Valley

Eliminate or extract the Skulls

The Skulls will make an appearance as you head towards the mission marker.

If you want to get rid of them, feel free to call in some heavy artillery from Mother Base and take them out that way, remembering to extract them afterwards.

As the difficulty level has been ramped up, use cover and be careful not to get hit.

Make contact with Code Talker

When you reach the mansion, head to the back and you'll find two soldiers standing guard outside of a door.

Take them out, go through the door and follow the candles to find Code Talker.

Extract Code Talker

Just like the last time, make your way to the LZ to the northwest.

Once again, most of the enemies will be off to your right, so you should be able to get through with little enemy contact.

If you need to engage them, pop Code Talker down while you take care of business before carrying on.

Extract Code Talker without him taking damage

If you took out the Skulls, there will be less chance of him taking damage. Just take your time and plop him down to take out any risks on the path ahead to ensure he doesn't get hit.

Extract the armored vehicle sealing off Lufwa Valley

The armoured vehicle is at the end of the road near the bridge.

Stash Code Talker in a safe place, then crawl over to it and extract it.
