MGS4 Endgame Emblems

[JasonS]

I'm surprised a thread hasn't been created for this yet. Here is the chance for everyone to show off / list the Emblems they have unlocked in MGS4 so far!

On my first play through I unlocked The Frog and The Scorpion.

[Marine Mike]

So far I've earned the Scorpion, Pig, and Hyena.

Does anyone know what any of them except for the Big Boss, Fox Hound, and Assassin does?

[FF750]

I got about five on my first time - Eagle, Hawk, Inchworm, Pig and Hyena (I was such a scavenger ).

[Shin-Ra]

I got Hyena, Inch Worm, Tarantula and one other I can't remember.

[Idealsupra]

I will personally give someone a dollar if they get the Big Boss Emblem...that has to be humanly impossible.

[Gamma_Winstead]

I just got tarantula. I'm going for assassin though.

Yeah, I got those too. Eagle for headshots, Hyena for all the weapons I picked up (I was a total scavenger)

What is "Thor .04-70", you unlock it with Foxhound rank.

Guys, after I finish the game and unlock The Boss extreme mode, I think I am gonna shoot for Big Boss rank. I really want that Big Boss mask. Unless I can buy the mask and song from Drebin.

Quick question about these emblems...does something pop up or something once you reach the mark you need to earn the emblem? or do they only tell you that you earned them after you beat the game? And then it only tells you after each playthrough or?

Also is there a place to view them?

Nope, only at the end of the game.

or do they only tell you that you earned them after you beat the game?

Yes

Yes

Also is there a place to view them?

Not that I'm aware of.

Good luck with that. 0 alerts and 0 kills in under 5 hours on Boss Extreme?

Well it might take awhile to do BUT I think it can be done. Just have to save every chance you get and if you get an alert etc you have to restart from that save point until you get to the next save point. Sucks but I guess its possible that way.

Im assuming the 5 hours of gameplay would mean just skipping through all the cutscenes?

IF u do it i give u mad props

[Mxr5150]

I got these on my first play through:

19. Rabbit
22. Scarab
23. Frog
24. Inch Worm
26. Hyena
28. Pig
36. Jaguar

I took a lot of liberties with getting caught, experimenting with the game and whatnot. I am ready to play through with zero kills, continues, and alerts !

[Proteus]

When you complete the game you are awarded a 'primary' (for lack of a better term that is official) emblem. Somehow, the first time I got 'Frog' for no apparent reason at all since I never 'side rolled' once that I could remember... only forwards. I also had other emblems as well (about six total) on that run through, but on the score screen, I was 'Frog'.

Well... 'Frog' gets a yellow ribbon then. Each run your 'primary' emblem that corresponded most to your playstyle that run through is given a yellow ribbon and forever marked on your emblem page so you know the emblems you got as 'primary' on run throughs.

I guess if you were REALLY ambitious you could try and not only get all the emblems, but try and get all of them as your 'primary' as well and fill the screen with yellow ribbons!

I love this game more than any other, but I don't think even I could do that. lol

Cool. I got a bunch of ribbons, and my primary one was Eagle, so I guess my playstyle is to shoot enemies in the head. Sweet.

[Proteus]

Well...

That's that...

[Shin-Ra]

Does the Snake Eater theme have any special effects?
