Metal Gear Solid [PS1] No Damage, Big Boss Rank, Cinematic Challenge Walkthrough

This is a no damage, Big Boss rank walkthrough of Metal Gear Solid released on the PS1 [1998, KONAMI].

I've tried to balance challenge alongside cinematic immersion - no conversations are skipped, extra CODECS are called for added backstory, and cutscenes are played out in full.

No Damage means no damaging hits are taken throughout the playthrough.

Big Boss Rank is a set of conditions that need to be met throughout the playthrough. A full breakdown can be found in the video.

I've included Chapters, though the commentary will make more sense as part of the full journey.
