Walkthrough
1
Dremuchij South Step 1
Upon landing, head north and crawl under the log to reach the large clearing with a climbable tree.
2
Dremuchij South Step 2
Approach the tree and interact with the vines in order to climb up. Once on the branch, approach your hanging backpack then drop down once you're right on top of it.
3 Watch the cutscene after Snake retrieves his backpack. When it ends, head north into a new area called Dremuchij Swampland.

Dremuchij Swampland

Walkthrough
1 After entering Dremuchij Swampland, keep heading north until you reach a large marsh with a lot of crocodiles.
2
Dremuchij Swampland Step 2
Make your way to the other side of the marsh by rolling. Use the center island as a bridge to get across and don't stay too long in the muck or you'll sink and die.

Tip: If you want to try killing one of the crocs for food, go prone next to its head with your Knife out (not too close), then swing away.
3 Once across, keep heading north until you enter Dremuchij North.

Walkthrough
1
Dremuchij North Step 1
After entering Dremuchij North, a cutscene will play. Once it ends, change your camo to Leaf (or Flecktarn) and face paint to Woodland. Then, you'll want to make your way north.

A few enemies will be patrolling the area, but you can easily knock them out with a headshot using the Mk22 or by using a CQC throw when their backs are turned.
2
Dremuchij North Step 2
Once you reach the clearing with fallen leaves, go northeast to reach the next area - Dolinovodno.

Note: While there are a few guns to collect during this entire mission, you'll lose them at the end of it so it's safe to skip them for now.

Dolinovodno

Dolinovodno Loot

Walkthrough
1
Dolinovodno Step 1
Another cutscene triggers when you first enter Dolinovodno. When it ends, shoot the hornet nest above the soldier in front of you.
2
Dolinovodno Step 2
The hornets will cause the soldier to flee across the bridge. The 2 other soldiers patrolling the bridge will also flee. All 3 will leave the area, allowing you to cross the bridge safely.

Note: There is another soldier on the northern end of the bridge. Sometimes he will not get swept up by the hornets along with the first 3, so be wary after crossing the bridge.
3
Dolinovodno Step 3
Once across, if there's a remaining soldier, take him out before quickly making your way to the northwest. Speed is key since the soldiers who fled will eventually return to the area.

Rassvet

Rassvet Loot
Rassvet Loot Map - Virtuous Mission
Kerotan | Ga-ko
Walkthrough
1
Rassvet Step 1
Rassvet will be patrolled by a ton of soldiers. Take out the first 2 guards directly to your north to start.

Note: On Extreme, there will be one more guard on overwatch, so it'll be better to skip knocking them out entirely to avoid an Alert.
2
Rassvet Interior Guards
After knocking out the 2 guards, you'll find yourself at the west side of the building. Head into the structure and take out the 3 guards patrolling inside.
3
Rassvet Step 3
Then, make your way to the northeast room of the building and approach the door to finally meet Sokolov.
4 A rather long cutscene will play. When it ends, you'll get a call from the major before exiting the room. Then, you'll meet Ocelot and his elite unit.
5
Time Paradox Trophy
After you knock out Ocelot and his unit during the cutscene, head back south towards Dolinovodno to chase after Sokolov.

Hidden Trophy: To get the trophy, Time Paradox, shoot or knife the knocked out Ocelot to trigger a unique continue screen.

Dolinovodno Riverbank

Walkthrough
1
Dolinovodno Riverbank Step 1
After the call with Para-Medic ends, open your Survival Viewer and go to the Cure menu.
2
Dolinovodno Riverbank Step 2
You'll need to treat Snake's 4 Cuts and 2 Bone Fractures.

Use a Suture Kit, Bandage, Styptic, and Disinfectant to treat Cuts. Use a Splint and Bandage to treat Bone Fractures.
