Complete walkthrough for Mission 7: The Southernmost Border in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. Learn how to eliminate commanders, extract targets, and unlock skills.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Three commanders are meeting at Wialo Village. Two will be traveling from neighboring locations, and one is already present. Their routes are marked by white paths on the map.
  2. 2
    To intercept the commanders en route, place D-Horse as a diversion on their path. Knock out the enemies when they stop. Extract them before they reach Wialo Village. This will prevent you from listening to their conversation.
  3. 3
    Alternatively, wait for all three commanders to reach Wialo Village. Listen to their conversation using your binoculars' microphone from a distance. They will discuss countermeasures based on your playstyle (e.g., mines if you emphasize stealth).
  4. 4
    After their meeting, the commanders will return to their respective bases: Shago Village, Wialo Village, and Wakh Sind Barracks.
  5. 5
    Go to each base and either extract or eliminate the commander.
  6. 6
    The commander at Shago Village should be straightforward.
  7. 7
    The commander at Wialo Village should also be manageable, especially if you marked troops during the meeting.
  8. 8
    The commander at Wakh Sind Barracks is a sniper located on top of the barracks. Sneak up from the back to avoid being spotted.
  9. 9
    Once all three commanders are dealt with, leave the area to complete the mission.
  10. 10
    Mission Task 4: Extract the commander and the soldiers riding in his vehicle (4 total). Two commanders drive to the meeting in jeeps with two guards each. Use D-Horse for speed or tag the soldiers with markers to identify them for extraction.
  11. 11
    Mission Task 6: Listen to the end of the 3 commanders’ conversation. Do not alert any enemies. Head to Wialo Village and find a position to listen to their conversation without being spotted, using the mic on your binoculars.
  12. 12
    Mission Task 7: Extract 2 prisoners being held at Ghwandai Town. Land near Ghwandai Town and proceed there. One prisoner is in the largest building, and the other is at the northern end. D-Dog can help pinpoint their locations.
Tips
  • Using D-Horse is ideal for quickly intercepting commanders en route.
  • Tagging soldiers with markers can help identify them for extraction later in the mission.
  • The mic on your binoculars can be used to listen to conversations through walls.
  • D-Dog can assist in locating prisoners if you are having trouble finding them.
