How to unlock the SUNLIGHT! achievement in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots - Definitive Guide
Missable To obtain the Solar Gun, you need to defeat the FROG Unit in Advent Palace, the Laughing Octopus, the Raging Raven, the Crying Wolf and finally the Screaming Mantis non-lethally. This means that you must deplete their Psyche bar and not their Health bar. The Psyche bar is the small, thin line below the Health. After you defeat them non-lethally, during the fight with their Inner forms, you will need to find a statue of these beauties. The FROG unit is an exception as their statue can be found only after you have defeated them. You will need to complete a playthrough with all 5 statues secured in your inventory in order to unlock the Solar Gun after the credits. You do not have to obtain all the statues in the same playthrough as long as you are saving the same, complete file every time you finish a playthrough. While you will need to defeat all the bosses non-lethally in one playthrough for the Big Boss emblem, it is advised to get this weapon prior to this playthrough as it will be very useful for Boss Extreme difficulty. The dolls can be found in the following locations
- FROG Unit: Act 1, after the fight in the Advent Palace, you will find yourself in a garage. Look in a corner to your right and you will find it.
- Laughing Octopus: Act 2, during the Beauty fight, it will be on one of the beds in the laboratory
- Raging Raven: Act 3, during the Beauty fight, it will be on the highest floor of the tower.
- Crying Wolf: Act 4, during the Beauty fight, it will be against the wall behind the starting point of the battle.
- Screaming Mantis: Act 5, during the Beauty fight, it will be in the north corridor on the lower level of the computer room.
Refer to each boss’ respective trophy above for a strategy on how to beat them non-lethally.
Frog Soldier Doll: After the battle with the Heaven Troopers in the first act, in the underground garage there will be a Frog Soldier Doll lying near the left wall near the wheel.
Laughing Octopus Doll : After the battle, if you did everything right, you will find a Laughing Octopus Doll on one of the hospital beds in the house where you just fought the boss.
Raging Raven Doll: You will find the Raging Raven Doll in one of the corners on the roof of the building where you just fought the boss.
Crying Wolf Doll: You'll find a Crying Wolf Doll right behind where you were at the start of the boss fight. The doll will lie between the trees.
Screaming Mantis Doll: You will find the Screaming Mantis Doll at the end of the corridor in the northern part of the area where you just fought the boss.
