Metal Gear Survive Walkthrough | Chapter 21 - Exploring Ruins 03

Welcome to the spookiest mansion in Metal Gear Survive.

Grab your portable oxygen replenishment systems, we’re going far northeast to the old mansion ruins in Metal Gear Survive. If you’ve played Phantom Pain, than you should be pretty familiar with the mansion’s general layout — even if it has changed quite a bit. Most of the doors are now blocked, so there’s only one linear path through the area.

Even after collecting the memory board, there’s plenty of great stuff to find in the mansion. Continue to climb up floors to reach a survivalist compound at the top. There, you’ll find a trap recipe along with medical supplies and other goodies. Drop down to the “front” door of the mansion, which is on the opposite side of where you enter, and you’ll find a crop of tomatoes. Those are the best items to farm, so make sure to save two for when you return to Base Camp.

Metal Gear Survive Walkthrough | Chapter 21

Objective: Secure the Memory Board

The Captain can now access both maps – Base Camp and the FOB – and the new objective is set over in the FOB Africa map. Teleport there and we can get started. You can also spend some time in the Base Camp where you’ll now have Workshops unlocked along with some other good stuff. Don’t forget to collect plenty of food and cook it up from your farms.

The Memory Board is even further northeast from Sahelanthropus’ resting grounds, so we’ve got another long path to take. If you haven’t already, stop and search the area around Transporter 03 – it’s a treasure trove of large containers.

NOTE: Before beginning this mission, you’ll want to construct a portable oxygen tank. It’s a long path to the Ruins, and you’ll have to run all the way back to Transporter 04 to return. If you’re not quick, it’s very easy to run out of oxygen.

Start the quest at Transporter 04. This is the outpost just outside the Sahelanthropus clear zone. On the way to the objective, cross the deep jungle and look for a hill up the rocky slopes with fallen trees. There’s a large container blue light that should help signal the way – watch out for the Grabbers all around the house, and find the bridge out back of the outpost. You’ll need it to cross the canyon.

Cross both bridges and you’ll encounter a disabled Transporter base. Beyond that, you’ll find an entrance to a massive mansion through a ruined wall. Unlock the interior door, and you’ll be able to explore this familiar location.

From the cellar, travel up into the atrium and turn right at the hallway up the stairs. Go through the wrecked library to the large entrance hallway. It’s a two-story room, and one of the largest, with plants in the center – that’s where the memory board is located. If you’ve gone outside, you’ve gone too far.

Don’t miss the survival compound in Ruins 03.

Ruins 03, like all the ruins, is a goldmine. There’s no easy way to access the area, so you’ll probably have to make another trip later. Look in the upper floors for a survivalist compound on the balcony, and a large container near the central back door that’s been barred.

NOTE: Don’t miss the tomato farm at the “front” of the mansion. From the basement entrance, circle around the exterior of the mansion to find the small garden full of tomatoes. You can collect five — save two for your Base Camp farms. Tomatoes are the best crop in the game so far.
