V. Introduction
---------------
If any of the information is wrong and needs correcting please email me
with the correction and I will give you the credit for it. This FAQ is
not
yet complete but I will try to complete it in ample time. Most of these
are
ranks my friends and I have gotten and *TRIED* to confirm the
requirements
the best we could, again it is open to correction. Another thing to
remember
is although a certain requirement is listed it doesn't mean that it is
meant
to be there. For example, "Play Time" was listed for the Panther
Ranking but
it's been confirmed now that "Play Time" has nothing at all to do with
getting that rank.

something

after
the cut scene go back outside the waterfall and search the area to find
the
Tsuchinoko, do not kill it, just shoot it with the Tranquilizer gun.

VII. Frequently Asked Questions
-------------------------------
Q: Why can't I find a Tsuchinoko, I've been looking for [time]?
A: I am not sure why some people have a hard time finding the
Tsuchinoko, I
found it within one minute.
Q: Where is the Tsuchinoko after I get captured?
A: Go outside the waterfall after talking to EVA and it should be in
that
area, near the tree where the waterfall empties into the stream.
Q: Is it true to get the Chameleon Ranking all you need is no alerts?
A: Yes. You can die, continue, save, and kill as many people as you
want,
all you need to do is not get seen.
