Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is already being talked about as a Game of the Year contender, thanks to its expansive sandbox environments and over-the-top gameplay. but many Metal Gear fans are still trying to dig through all of the content created by the Metal Gear Solid V dev team. Particularly those of us who still have to attend work/school on a daily basis.

Thankfully, not everything in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain requires the kind of time investment we typically see from non-linear games. It could take a few hours for fans to find all the music cassettes in Metal Gear Solid V, or all of the blueprints that can be recovered in MGSV, but collecting all of the Memento Photos in The Phantom Pain only requires finishing missions and Side Ops in a certain order.

Of course, you won't find this information printed anywhere in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. Most discover their first photo by accident, while rounding up extra cash/supplies for Mother Base or completing a random Side Op. But we've rounded up the specific order in which you'll need to complete mission/side op to collect all ten of the Memento Photos for Paz.

Here's how to recover all 10 Memento Photos in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain:

Memento Photo #1 – Miller and Paz

  • After finishing Mission 6, complete Side Op 51

Memento Photo #2 – Professor Galvez

  • After finishing Mission 8, and earning the Miller and Paz photo, complete Side Op 52

Memento Photo #3 - Swimsuit Paz

  • After finishing Mission 16, and earning the Professor Galvez photo, complete Side Op 53

Memento Photo #4 – Nuke

  • After finishing Mission 20, and earning the Swimsuit Paz photo, complete Side Op 54

Memento Photo #5 – Fishing

  • After finishing Mission 23, and earning the Nuke photo, complete Side Op 55

Memento Photo #6 – Gallo Pinto

  • After finishing Mission 31, and earning the Fishing photo, complete Side Op 56

Memento Photo #7 – Birthday Party

  • After finishing Mission 31, and earning the Gallo Pinto photo, complete Side Op 57

Memento Photo #8 – Costa Rica

  • After finishing Mission 35, and earning the Birthday Party photo, complete Side Op 58

Memento Photo #9 – Chico

  • After finishing Mission 38, and earning the Costa Rica photo, complete Side Op 59

Memento Photo #10 – Futbol

  • After finishing Mission 38, and earning the Chico photo, complete Side Op 60

Once you've collected all ten of the Memento Photos, take them to Paz -- in her room on Mother Base's medical platform -- for a handful of rewards. And make sure you don't miss the Morpho Butterfly photo, on the wall outside Paz's room, when you leave.
