Voices is the name of the 20th main mission in Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain. This is a rather simple mission but with a longer route to its main objective.
▼Article Continues Below▼
The longer route requires walking past many soldiers, up to the area where Shabani is, and none of the soldiers are.
Obtainable Skills/Blueprints
None, but there are several cutscenes making it forgivable.
Mission Text
Rescue Shabani, the leader of the boys who were forced to work at the mine. He was taken to Ngumba Industrial Zone, the place the locals call “the Devil’s House”.
Extracted Shabani
Shabani is inside the Ngumba Industrial Zone. In order to get there, you have to go through Munoko ya Nioka Station and two enemy outposts. There is a tunnel whose entrance is also the entrance to the Ngumba Industrial Zone. There are no soldiers here, hence no need to hide.

Shabani is in the building to your left.
Fought of the Man on Fire
You can use the Water Towers in Ngumba Industrial Zone to complete this task. The way to do it is by gaining the attention of the Man on Fire by shooting in his direction. He tends to teleport to you once he finds out your location. Be sure to alert him when you’re near the water tower and the red barrel at its bottom. Shoot the barrel as the Man on Fire teleports next to it and it will bring down the water tower, disabling him for a while. Once the rain starts, the fight is over.
Shoot the barrel at the bottom of a Water Tower once the Man on Fire is next to it.
Be sure to have the chopper next to you as the Man on Fire recovers rather fast.
Successfully hit the floating boy with an attack
You can’t hit the floating boy with bullets, but after you bring the water tower onto the Man on Fire, the boy should float around him while he’s stunned, guarding him. You can order a supply or vehicle drop to where he’s lying, and it will land oon the boy.
Pinpointed route to Ngumba Industrial Zone, West Guard post from an intel file
The intel file is in outpost #20 – the one before the valley. You’ll find it in one of the tents (thanks JJ and Caboose).
Extracted an African wild dog near Ngumba Industrial Zone, West Guard Post
As you go toward the enemy outpost marked with number 17 on the map, you’ll receive info about the area and the mist that covers the valley almost year round. Soon, the mist will become thicker and you’ll find yourself following a small river. This is when the wild dog should appear.
Listened to the conversation about the “bodies at Munoko ya Nioka Station”
You need to reach the other side of Munoko ya Nioka station and a guard will come running down the hill towards the truck. He will drive the truck to the security checkpoint and continue on foot past the mist and will stop at the guard station before the tunnel and talks about the bodies. You have to follow the truck driver all the way to the tunnel at the end. Just hop in the back of his truck and listen to all his conversations, then when he gets out and starts walking follow on foot till he gets up the the misty camp before boss fight area. (thanks Stock and Samjay )
If the man on fire gets up before the supply drop gets to hit the floating boy, try shooting with a machine gun/ bombard with a rocket launcher the man on fire. It will incapacitate him for a bit. Just keep doing it until the supply drops. Then proceed to fulton him (extraction WILL fail, but will still complete the task), and after that just call in the chopper (don’t go to the one waiting after the tunnel) and leave the area.
This is the strat for an S rank. You can even skip the supply drop part; run to the tunnel, then get back near a reservoir, call the chopper near your location and wait for him till he gets close and blow it up. He’ll stay stunned for a bit. At this point the chopper would already be touching down, get in and try to hit him with a rocket launcher so he doesn’t throw fireballs at you (you can die even inside of the chopper). “Mission complete –and how.”
to beat him, i sent him into the small pool of water in the base, it eliminates him, he evaporates or something, and then you can leave. the pool is in between both water towers and you need to use grenades and other explosives to knock him in as he will not walk in himself.
i find a beter way to make the boy stay longer as you like around man on fire and also extinguish his fire as long as you want you can extinguish his fire with water pistol rapidly then his fire will extinguish and the boy will apear around him then you can call for supply and you continue firing until supply drop hit the boy and waaaalaaaa way too easy it was
You can achive Foght the on Fire playing in this way: after you drop a water tower on th fire man, drop a supply over the floating kid. When the fire man is stunned, extract him.
Aside from the water towers, there are also two small blue water barrels inside the building that have the same effect on the Man on Fire and don’t require C4 to destroy (you can just shoot them). You can hit the floating boy with an attack if you down the Man on Fire and keep trying to shoot at him when he appears, but you’ll have to down the Man on Fire twice . The floating boy teleports slightly every time he gets hit, but he does take a tiny bit of damage that eventually adds up, it seems.
Okay wait! You can extract dude on fire? I did try to extract him after hitting the boy with a fucking rpg, but it just said extraction failed and kaz said its a good news! You mean you can extract him and and you can be lucky?
Extract him, that completes one of the mission tasks. It is suppose to happen that “Ocelot: damnit he broke the cords!” – “Kaz: I’d call that, good news.”
Another way to finish the Man on Fire: There’s a square water reservoir (just a slightly lowered square area with some brown water in it) on the side of the area with the open cliff. If you move into the water and get the MoF’s attention, he’ll stand at the edge of the water and shoot fireballs at you. If you position him in front of the big metal tank, you can shoot it to blow him into the reservoir, which causes him to be finished off permanently instead of just stunned.
After reading these comments, I was kinda sceptical about whether you could actually extract the man on fire since the floating boy wouldn’t leave me alone. But it does work, you just have to be persistent.
Also, (and I felt kinda stupid after this) you have to call in the chopper yourself. Ocelot said he was gonna bring the chopper in closer, so I assumed the chopper would come in automatically without me having to do it. So, for anyone else having that problem, you have to call it in yourself!
And to extract the man on fire, I shot at a blue water cooler thing inside a building to stun the MoF, then threw all my grenades (6) at the floating boy. Then I went to the water tower just outside and, since the red barrels had disappeared for some reason, lured the MoF close enough so that when he fired at me, I was behind the water tower, so he destroyed it himself. When he was stunned, I pumped the floating boy full of lead. Using same tactics, I made MoF destroy the second water tower and shot at the floating boy again. After a while, the floating boy disappeared and the MoF was free to extract.
If you have the weather modification fire support, you can just call in the rain immediately after exiting the building. That’s what I did when I was on this mission.
After you stun the MoF, huck a pile of grenades at his downed form. The kid can’t teleport out of all the explosions, and you’ll get a hit on him, plus the extract.
Kaz / Ocelot will call you and say something along the lines of it not being enough. Yeah, in my desperation to try and survive, I called a supply drop for that thing and found it to be utterly useless.
You just spam shooting him in the head with it, and he’ll grunt and get stunlocked – even when you have to reload, it stuns him long enough that he’ll just sit there with his arm out readying an attack. After a few reloads of spamming, he’ll drop for a bit. Hell, you can finish him off doing that – I accidentally finished the fight without getting a hit on floating boy the first time around.

I think that if the enemy is in “alert’ the conversation doesn’t trigger. Because i followed the driver to the first stop and he didn’t chat with a soldier about the route. He will say that he needs to go on foot, after that he gets on the truck and drives to the river with the mist. Before that he stops on a guard post: a tent, two soldiers and the fence to the river. He will chat with a guard and is told to go the the outpost near the woods and be careful with ” them”. After that he goes on foot to the river. Follow him, avoid the rest of the soldiers and you will eventually end on the tent before the tunnel, on the woods, where the conversation triggers about what happened to the last driver.
I don’t know if the alert dissables it, but i did this way and triggered it. Hope that it helped.
Any advice how to trigger conversation with “Listened to the conversation about the bodies at Munoko ya Nioka Station”, any specific time or something like that? I only see 1 guard there all the time.
Yup, drop water tank on Man on Fire, when kiddo will appear shot him 30 times (he will be like “teleport-avoiding” but keep shooting at him) in a row and he will die plus you can fulton Man on Fire after that. 😀
Agreed with Dastro, all I did was to aim at the kiddo once he appeared and spam bullets at once, he immediately disappear and Man on Fire was available to be fulton.
strange, on my first run I had no difficulties in hitting the kid with a supply drop, now on my 2nd run and after the update/patch my supply drop is too slow, and it doesn’t matter if I hit the kid with 100 bullets he won’t die/dissappear!!! wtf is going on
For “Pinpointed route to Ngumba Industrial Zone, West Guard post from an intel file” you just need to go to the guard post before you enter the misty valley and the intel is sitting on a desk inside one of the green tents.

There is a gas tank next to the pool, if you shoot that when hes infront of it he will be knocked in as well.

For finish the boss u can extract him when he’s stun ! And u have the optional objectif
Sry for my english !
After you stun the MoF, huck a pile of grenades at his downed form. The kid can’t teleport out of all the explosions, and you’ll get a hit on him, plus the extract.
You can equip the NVG to spot the floating boy.
You can use your watergun to stun the man on fire
Um. No.
Kaz / Ocelot will call you and say something along the lines of it not being enough. Yeah, in my desperation to try and survive, I called a supply drop for that thing and found it to be utterly useless.
Um, yes.

Ty man! I wanted try to fallow that truck driver today, but you saved my time anyway! 😀
I did this and it did not work; is there a second conversation after the one at Guard Post 20?
You have to follow the truck driver all the way to the tunnel at the end. At least I did. Just hop in the back of his truck and listen to all his conversations, then when he gets out and starts walking follow on foot till he gets up the the misty camp before boss fight area.
Yes, you need to keep fallow him down to the river and then way up near the tunnel.
I think that if the enemy is in “alert’ the conversation doesn’t trigger. Because i followed the driver to the first stop and he didn’t chat with a soldier about the route.

I can’t get it to trigger either man
Any advice how to trigger conversation with “Listened to the conversation about the bodies at Munoko ya Nioka Station”, any specific time or something like that? I only see 1 guard there all the time.
does anybody know how to hit this kiddo already?
Yup, drop water tank on Man on Fire, when kiddo will appear shot him 30 times (he will be like “teleport-avoiding” but keep shooting at him) in a row and he will die plus you can fulton Man on Fire after that. 😀
You can also drop an ammo crate near where he’s standing once you blow the water tower. He should position himself under it and get hit
Agreed with Dastro, all I did was to aim at the kiddo once he appeared and spam bullets at once, he immediately disappear and Man on Fire was available to be fulton.

nevermind, I still did it with the supply drop, just had to use some very accurate timing
For “Pinpointed route to Ngumba Industrial Zone, West Guard post from an intel file” you just need to go to the guard post before you enter the misty valley and the intel is sitting on a desk inside one of the green tents.
Guard point 20 to be exact.
