Finding all Kerotan locations in Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater shouldn’t be too hard for veterans of the original, but chances are you’ve forgotten where a few of these 64 frogs are in the last 20 years. Happily, they are a lot easier to find than the new Gako collectibles, but there are still a few tricky ones squirrelled away in hard-to-spot places.
If you haven’t played Metal Gear Solid 3 before, then all of these will be new. You might want to try finding them yourself, but if not, this Kerotan location guide will serve your needs. Make sure to save often and be aware of the points of no return. I call them out in the guide itself, but if you miss any Kerotans (and don’t have a save to revert to), you’ll be scuppered for that run.
The good news, at least, is that you can always hop into a save to find a Kerotan location and then jump right back to your most recent save. It’ll still count for that playthrough, meaning you don’t have to replay any of the intervening time.
Here I’ll run through all 64 Kerotan locations, including the primary points of no return that’ll stop you from going back and collecting them (though it’s best to collect each as you pass through). If you want to grab the new Gako locations as well, make sure to have our guide open at the same time:
|
Region |
Location |
|---|---|
|
Dremuchij South |
Head right up the hill to find it on a raised rock just next to where you can drop down. |

Head towards the open ruined building directly north of you as you enter and look through the gap in the brick wall under the stairs to spot it. |
You’ll hit a point of no return when you find Sokolov in Rassvet, and will no longer be able to access the above anymore. Apart from the first Kerotan in Dremuchij East, you won’t be able to get any of the others until you reach Rassvet again and get a gun:

Entering Bolshaya Past Crevice from Bolshaya Past Base is a point of no return, as you enter a boss arena (which has a Kerotan hidden in it) and then enter a set of new areas afterwards:
|

Svyatogornyj East |
In the west room of the house in the centre of the area, on a shelf to the left just as you walk in. |
|
Sokrovenno South |
By the small concrete building in the northwest of the area. Take the path going right around the side of it to reveal the frog on some rocks. |
|
Sokrovenno North |
Head left (west) as soon as you enter the area to find the frog slightly to the south of a hollow log, next to a single tree. |
|
Sokrovenno West |
Follow the stream in the centre of the region to its southernmost point to find the frog just under a little rock arch. |

|
Krasnogorje Mountaintop Ruins |

Once you enter Groznyj Grad Underground Tunnel and climb down the ladder, you’ll enter another boss and a point of no return. There is a Kerotan to find in this arena, and you can technically shoot it before the fight, so I suggest doing that:
|
Region |
Location |
|---|---|
|
Groznyj Grad Underground Tunnel |
Follow the main path down the stairs until the area opens out into a big room with pillars. The frog is on a pipe directly to the north of you. |
|
Groznyj Grad Southwest |
In the south of the map, you’ll find six tank hangars, three facing three. Look through the slightly open door of the middle one on the left (west) side to spot the frog on a tank barrel. |
|
Groznyj Grad Northeast |
In the northeast of the area, you’ll find a small concrete building with food supplies inside and a tunnel you can drop down into nearby. Crawl along this and then turn right when you can to find the frog behind some bars |
|
Groznyj Grad Northwest |
In the inaccessible fenced-off area with the watchtower just to the west, the frog is at the top of the stairs you can spy over the fence, to the right (north) of the tower. |
|
Groznyj Grad Southeast |
Head to the southeastern corner of the area and look towards the building to the north. The frog is on the south-east roof corner of that building. |
|
Groznyj Grad Torture Room |
Head left when you enter, go through the door at the end of the corridor, then look right to spot the frog under a desk. |
|
Groznyj Grad Weapons Lab: East Wing |
Take the north staircase, then look to your right (north) as you enter a room to find the frog on top of a shelf. |
|
Groznyj Grad Weapons Lab: West Wing Corridor |
Enter the corridor and turn immediately left (south) to look out the window and spot the frog on top of a speaker pole outside. |
Once you enter Groznyj Grad Weapons Lab: West Wing as Raikov, you’ll hit another point of no return, sort of. You will still return to the base later, but honestly, it’s better to grab the above while you can, since it’s not clear whether all areas of the fortress remain accessible.
For the Kerotan in Tikhogornyj, you won’t have a gun, but you can stab it with the fork you got in the prison. Either that or go to Eva behind the waterfall first to get your gun. Returning to Groznyj Grad and arming the explosives (starting the fight with Volgin) are points of no return, so grab the following as you pass:
|
Region |
Location |
|---|---|
|
Tikhogornyj |
At the south end of the area, close to where you start, under a log where the river flows south out of the region. Stab it with your fork or backtrack once you have a gun. |
|
Tikhogornyj: Behind Waterfall |
In the final room with the ladder, look behind you to the south-west to spot the frog above on a pipe. |
|
Groznyj Grad Weapons Lab: Main Wing |
On the west side of the Shagohod. Climb the left stairs, follow the walkway north until you reach the boxes with panels and buttons on your right (east) side. The frog is behind the middle railing between them. |
|
Groznyj Grad Weapons Lab: Main Wing B1 |
When your battle with Volgin starts, look immediately up to your left (west) to see the frog on the edge above the arena. |
You’ll enter a chase sequence after this, where you have to shoot each Kerotan while on a motorbike. Make sure to manually save your game in each area of the chase so you can go back and try to shoot them again if you miss. Since these are such a pain, I’ve included images in the gallery below. I’d also suggest using a sniper rifle (if you’re a decent shot) or the RPG to hit these:
Image 1 of 9
|
Region |
Location |
|---|---|
|
Groznyj Grad |
At your first stop on the bike, Eva will say “Look out!” and some guards will start shooting at you. On the tower ahead, you can see the frog inside on top of a searchlight. |
|
Groznyj Grad Runway South |
The first time Eva stops the bike to let you kill some guards in the courtyard with the two forklifts, look at the seat of the left one to see the frog on it. |
|
Groznyj Grad Runway |
Turn around and face ahead of you, and then count the numbered signs on the left side of the runway. The frog is on top of sign number 7. |
|
Groznyj Grad Runway (cont) |
Same as before, face forward and count the numbered signs on the right side of the runway. The frog is on sign number 18. |
|
Groznyj Grad Rail Bridge |
On an arch under the bridge to your left. You’ll have to stand up in order for it to become visible on the side of the bridge closest to you. |
|
Groznyj Grad Rail Bridge (cont) |
After you blow up the bridge and start fighting the Shagohod, the frog is just to your left (west) in the northwest section of the arena, on a concrete structure under a radio tower. |
|
Groznyj Grad Rail Bridge North |
After the first ambush, Eva will briefly stop at a red and white road barrier with an armoured car and some soldiers shooting at you. The frog is between two of the barrier sections on your left. |
|
Lazorevo South |
You’ll want to face forward and then keep an eye on your right. Not too far into the chase, you’ll spot it in front of a rock on the right side of the track, looking towards you. |
|
Lazorevo North |
Shortly after the start, when you begin descending the slope, the frog is on top of a rock just to the left of the track in plain sight. |
These are all of the Kerotans located in the chase sequence. There are just three more to find after this in the subsequent areas, including the final boss arena:
|
Region |
Location |
|---|---|
|
Zaozyorje West |
Taking the west route down the map, you’ll find a log bridge. Stand in the middle of the bridge and look down to your left (east) to see the frog on a ledge lower down in the ravine. |
|
Zaozyorje East |
Where the path first splits into two, look behind the big tree in between the fork to spot the frog. |
|
Rokovoj Bereg |
On top of a tree in the south-east centre of the map, south of the tree with the Gako on it. |
If you’ve got them all, congrats! That’s all 64 Kerotans collected. You’ll get the Kerotan title and the Stealth Camo as rewards when you complete the game, plus the “It Ain’t Easy Being Green” achievement.
