Metal Gear Solid V: Phantom Pain - 15 Easter Eggs, References & Secrets You Must Find

7. Paz Is Alive In A Hidden Cutscene

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMXKUfpLt3s Once you start plowing through the game's main missions, you'll eventually end up with Mother Base having a Medical Strut built, and if you head up to the top, you'll find an open door with a "Work in Progress" sign inside it. However, the other door will be openable if you just walk up to it and press the action button, leading to one of the most crucial cut-scenes in the entire game...and one that can be so easily missed. Paz will be seen very much alive and well, leading to a flashback to her "death" in Ground Zeroes, showing that the second bomb in her vagina was actually removed, and the explosion wasn't from her bomb but from a rocket fired by another chopper. Paz suffered amnesia from the impact of hitting the water, believing it's still 1984, and also adopting a disassociative personality very much unlike the one fans knew in Peace Walker and Ground Zeroes. A later cut-scene also shows Snake hallucinating Paz pulling out her own intestines while searching for the bomb. Gross. That such a pivotal revelation was relegated to an area that players may never stumble across is, frankly, totally ridiculous.
