Complete walkthrough for Mission 28: Code Talker in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. Learn how to defeat the Female Skulls and safely escort Code Talker.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Use binoculars to locate and eliminate the four Female Skulls snipers. Listen for their noises with the microphone on your binoculars if needed.
  2. 2
    Once all Skulls are downed, proceed to the mansion. Circle around to the front entrance, dealing with any enemies encountered.
  3. 3
    Neutralize the two guards at the front door and enter the mansion.
  4. 4
    Navigate through the mansion to find a locked door. Proceed through it to trigger a cutscene and receive the objective to escort Code Talker.
  5. 5
    Sneak around to the rear of the mansion to enter the basement and rescue Code Talker.
  6. 6
    Before exiting, call in a support chopper to the northern LZ via your iDroid.
  7. 7
    Exfiltrate towards the LZ, being cautious of any remaining enemies.
  8. 8
    An armored vehicle will guard a bridge. Instead of crossing, drop from the nearby cliff into the water to reach the LZ more safely.
Tips
  • If your support character (Quiet) is injured and unavailable, you will have to complete the mission without her assistance.
  • For Mission Task 4 & 5, you only need to eliminate one Skull. Extraction of the Skulls is only possible after completing Mission 29.
  • For Mission Task 6, it's advisable to leave the Skulls alone initially when dealing with the armored vehicle. This is because the soldiers become puppet soldiers, making them easier to avoid while you focus on extracting the vehicle.
  • Completing the mission awards 10,000 FP.
  • Unlocks Mission 29: Phantom Limbs.
  • Unlocks Side Op: C20: Extract Intel Agent.
