How to unlock the Reminiscence achievement in METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN - Definitive Guide
The SideOps will be unlocked after you completed certain Main missions
Wandering Motherbase Soldiers hard to catch?
Play “koi no yokushiryoku” over your iDroid Loudspeaker or use a Cardbox :D
There are a total of 10 of these. You will unlock another one after a certain mission.
Here's a list of which Side OP unlocks after which mission:
Extract the WMBS 1: Mission 6
Extract the WMBS 2: Mission 8
Extract the WMBS 3: Mission 16
Extract the WMBS 4: Mission 20
Extract the WMBS 5: Mission 23
Extract the WMBS 6: Mission 31
Extract the WMBS 7: Mission 31
Extract the WMBS 8: Mission 35
Extract the WMBS 9: Mission 38
Extract the WMBS 10: Mission 38
A very useful trick into catching the soldiers is hiding/walking in a cardboard box and playing 'Koi no yokushiryoku (Love Deterrence) from your iDroid. You can find this song during Mission 1. I do both at the same time, and it works perfectly. The soldiers will recognize Snake because of the song or the cardboard box, and will salute you, letting you fulton him away.
Every time you extract a Wandering Mother Base soldier, he will give you a Memento Photo.
After this, you need to head for the first Medical platform on your Mother Base, and to the second level. There will be a door where you can go into. This small hallway leads to another door, behind which is someone (I won't spoil who) will look at the photo and tell you some stuff about it. After you've shown a photo, you need to leave and revisit Mother Base before you can show the next, so it's best to show a photo every time you're at Mother Base anyway. After you've shown all 10 photo's the last, and 11th, will spawn in the small hallway on the wall. The trophy should pop after this.

There a total of 11 memento photos that will need to be collected for this achievement. Ten of these photos are rewarded for completing Side Ops #51-#60, "Extract the Wandering Mother Base Soldiers." Take note that the last of these Side Ops will not unlock until Mission 38 has been completed. With that said, these Side Ops involve tracking down former Mother Base soldiers and extracting them. The catch with these missions is that the soldiers will run away if they spot you, meaning you'll need to neutralize them from a distance with a tranquilizer weapon.
Alternatively, you can approach them while crouching under the cardboard box and they will instantly surrender to you when you've inch near them. If you want to change things up even more, you can even play the "Love Deterrence" cassette tape (once you've obtained it of course) and turn your iDroid's speakers on. This will cause the wandering solider to run up to you and surrender immediately. Further, you can bring Quiet along for these Side Ops (armed with the Guilty Butterfly) and she will tranquilize the wandering solider with ease once you've spotted the target for her.
Once these ten photos have been collected, return to Mother Base's main Medical Platform and visit the secret infirmary room on the second floor. Here, you can give Paz each photo one by one (as shown in the video). After she reminisces on a photo, you will need to exit her room, smoke the Phantom Cigar for a few hours, and reenter the infirmary to give her the next photo. By the time you're ready to hand in the sixth photograph, she will still be asleep. At this point return to the ACC, complete a few missions, then come back for another visit and continue the photo-giving process.
Once all ten memento photos have been handed over, exit the her room and you will find, on the left-hand side of the hallway, a small photograph taped to the wall. Pick it up and the achievement will finally unlock. For the sake of wrapping up Paz's story, make sure to revisit her once more after obtaining this photo.

2. Take each photo to Paz and leave the base
3. Repeat 10 times
4. After the 10th photo, we leave her room and there will be an 11th photo on the wall on the left. We select it and get the trophy.
Trophy video
If you light a cigar next to the ward, Paz remains lying further down. To avoid this, you need to leave the room, turn right and go up the stairs to a higher floor and smoke there, then Paz will be available again for a new photo
