![]() It's really impossible to say if Hideo Kojima planned this all along, or if it's just convenient that it works out. It does! The events that unfold in Metal Gear Solid V fit very well within the timeline and lead into Metal Gear 1 and 2, the oldest games in the franchise that were first released on the MSX. Fans would know this to be impossible, which means something was either wrong with our version of Snake, or with Eli.ĭoes the Existence of Two Big Bosses Fit? At this point it's all but told to us he is Liquid, yet during a conversation with Ocelot, we are told his DNA doesn't match ours. One of the biggest hints is during a conversation about Eli.The truth though, is that Ocelot is also explaining things to Venom Snake, as his memories of the past aren't 100% complete. This can be dismissed as the game explaining events to us, the player, in case we never played the other Metal Gears. We are told that this is due to his extensive injuries, but the truth is that Venom Snake had never known these things to begin with, since he isn't the real Big Boss. Early on, it's mentioned that his skills seem diminished, such as his ability to speak various languages.The changes to his appearance, such as the horn and prosthetic arm, are never seen in future iterations within the series.There are other hints throughout the game that something is slightly off with this version of Snake: Even from the get go, it seems weird to be walking through a hospital with a man who sounds exactly like Snake! However this is Metal Gear, and this first hint can be easily overlooked as some hallucination or other strange mental phenomena. Long time fans who know the lore of the series were likely the first to suspect something was up. ![]() At the beginning you had a choice to create an Avatar which later you'll find out that you are in fact The Medic and become Venom Snake. The Medic, who is now the new Big Boss (and is forever known as Venom Snake) wakes up from the crash later, meets up with Ocelot, and proceeds through the events of Metal Gear Solid V. The real Big Boss gets out first, meets up with Ocelot and leaves, exiting the entire game to go set up his own private nation. The assault ends when the two Snakes escape in an ambulance, which then crashes. The bandaged man who helps you escape the hospital is the original Big Boss. Through clever cuts, we are led to believe we are Snake when in fact we are playing The Medic. The second, new Big Boss wakes up later, and finally leaves the hospital during the events of the XOF attack at the beginning of Phantom Pain. The real Big Boss is the first to wake up, and is made aware of this plan. Ocelot oversees the two patients while ensuring that the memories and physical appearance of the Medic turn into that of Big Boss. Unable to accomplish this alone, he turns to Ocelot to oversee this long term endeavor. ![]() Through advanced techniques, he imparts the wisdom, memories and skills of Snake onto the Medic, essentially "cloning" Big Boss onto another living person. In an effort to protect Snake, Zero plans to use the Medic as a decoy by creating another Big Boss. The Medic and Snake are left in a room together, comatose. Kaz is separated from the other two, and recovers quickly from his wounds. Through her, Zero has the three survivors transferred to a remote hospital for top level care. He does this through EVA, another character from the Metal Gear series, who ultimately plays surrogate mother to Liquid and Solid. Once Zero learns the truth that Skull Face is trying to usurp him and attacked his former comrade, he uses his still-considerable resources to save Snake, Kaz and the Medic. By this point in the timeline, Zero had lost control of his own organization to Skull Face. Zero did not order the attack on Mother Base during the Ground Zeroes incident. Eventually there was a falling out between the two as their ideals began to differ. They worked together years ago during Metal Gear Solid 3. Zero is the former leader of Cipher and ally of Snake. When Kaz, Snake and the Medic are brought to a hospital after the explosion, it doesn't take long before their former ally Zero learns about it. Why does this happen? Who even sets it up? Unless you listened to the tapes, you may never know! So if you want to hear more about this for yourself, make sure to listen to the Truth tapes you unlocked by completing Mission 46! This Medic, friend and ally of Snake, will eventually become the next Big Boss. What we eventually learn is that the Medic who was with Snake, the same Medic who saved Paz, is also severely wounded. ![]() There's an explosion and we see Snake nearly die. It all started with the XOF attack that occurs at the end of Ground Zeroes. You're a former friend, and comrade, and through the efforts of Zero and Ocelot, you've became Big Boss. So what is the truth? You are not the real Big Boss.
