*sigh* Phantom Limbs

[Skeptik]

I'm going back and re-doing this mission to get the objectives that I didn't get the first time. etc.. etc... I did everything and now I have MIller and went to the LZ, the skulls came, I dodged them without them spotting me, but no matter where I go on the map the mist will NOT dissipate. I've gone to every LZ available inside the mission zone. So WTF? because of a bug I have completely wasted my time and patients on this mission and I have to do it over again?

That's some bug. It's supposed to dissipate when you reach the next closest LZ.

Sadly you'll have to replay it. But to avoid the bug, when you're called out to the default landing zone, don't go there. Order the chopper to meet you on another LZ. That should prevent Skulls from appearing completely (the scripted event happens if you're at the default LZ unless this was changed with patches).

But I also suggest to verify game fines integrity (in library rightclick MGS5, choose properties).

Wait, you can skip them appearing altogether?

Ye breh.

Just choose a different LZ.

♥♥♥♥ me, I've been wasting my time slaughtering them. Never occured to me....

It's probably just a design omission, for some reason choosing LZ is not disabled till you reach the point of Skulls spawning.
Useful to avoid the bug though. And useful to get S rank for mission, but okay, to be honest, you can easily get it even without this "exploit" as you'll ride the horse anyway and you'll skip the cutscene to not waste the most important thing for S-ing missions: the time.

And it's much more fun not doing that too. I remember being caught and escaping with a jeep at high speed while they chased it. It was epic.

Sometimes I wish I could delete my memory of a video game I've played so I can feel how I felt the first time I played it.

I've S ranked all the main story missions and done all the optional objectives for them too, so I'm alright on skipping needless ♥♥♥♥ like their spawning.

[joxertm22]

Yea but killing them tends to be fun. ;)
In this case when the mission got bugged, better to skip them.

You have no idera how many times I've felt like this! Doing something again for the first time. :)
