Welcome to our Metal Gear Solid 4 Collectible Guide!
This collectible guide will walk you through the following:
- Weapons
- Dolls
- iPod Tracks
- Cutscene Flashbacks
- FaceCamos
- Model Posters
- Shadow Moses Ghosts
- Miscellaneous Chapter Specific Trophies
For the Model Posters, you need to stare at them until you hear Snake say, “Akina.” If you can’t get him to say it, use the Solid Eye and look at them through the SE Mode (first person view). You can zoom in and out to try and register the poster.
The Dolls are earned by beating the bosses non-lethally. After their first phase, there will be a beauty phase where you will need to find the doll in order to collect it.
There are more than 5 ghosts in Shadow Moses, but only 5 are needed for the trophy. So the first 5 will be listed in the guide below. The ghost will flash and appear in your picture as soon as you take it as long as you were aiming in the correct location.
The cutscene flashbacks are going to force you to watch just about every cutscene in the game. There are a lot. But you should not skip any of them until you have the trophy for viewing them all. Flashbacks are marked by an X prompt in the top right corner of the screen. There are two that are hidden, but they will be pointed out in the guide below. When you see the prompt, just keep tapping X until the flashback stops. You want to make sure to see each one and they will reward you with Drebin Points.
The guide below will be broken down by each of the five acts in the game.

There are several short flashbacks strung together in this next sequence. There is also no visible 
prompt. So these are hidden. As soon as Raiden jumps in front of Snake and yells, “Rose!” start mashing . Do not stop after the first one. There are a series of them and they are all hidden. Do not stop mashing until you get to the cutscene where Mei Ling fires on Outer Haven. You need to keep mashing the entire time Raiden is remembering Rose. The flashbacks are short and come one right after the other quickly.

Remaining Weapons
Any weapons that you have not collected or found should now be bought from Drebin. Everything in his shop is 50% off during Act 5. So, now is the best time to buy from him. Go through your list and see what you do not have and buy it. I’ll list the weapons that we did not find organically. Act 5 is also the end of the game, so you should have collected quite a few Drebin Points. If you don’t have enough right now, you can finish the weapons off on another playthrough. Everything will carry over as long as you keep using the same completed game save file for your next playthroughs. In fact, there are special weapons that will require more playthroughs.

- MP7
- Desert Eagle
- M10
- Bizon
- MP5SD2
- FAL Carbine
- Tanegashima – This one will cost a lot. You’ll likely need to save this weapon for later playthroughs when you have more Drebin Points.
- Mosin-Nagant
