MW4: How to Unlock No Harm Done and No Stone Unturned in Following Orders

Following Orders is the third campaign mission in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, set in a North Korean village where you play a soldier searching homes for contraband and a hidden defector. Two trophies live entirely inside this mission, and both can be earned on the same playthrough if you handle the civilian interrogations peacefully and clear every house completely.

Quick answer: Confiscate all 4 contraband items and read all 4 notes for No Stone Unturned, and get the defector’s location through dialogue without hurting anyone for No Harm Done. Do both in a single run.

What each trophy requires

Both are worth 50 gamerscore and appear as Silver trophies on PlayStation. They are among the rarest in the game, so the exact conditions matter.

Trophy	Condition
No Harm Done	Find the defector’s location in Following Orders while keeping every civilian safe.
No Stone Unturned	Confiscate all contraband and read all notes in Following Orders

There are four notes and four contraband items across the mission. Two notes and all four contraband pieces are in the first house you search. The remaining two notes are in the third house. The second house contains nothing to collect.

First house: contraband, two notes, and the peaceful interrogation

This is where No Harm Done is secured and where the bulk of No Stone Unturned is gathered. Work through the rooms before you talk to the couple, because one of the items you collect is what makes the non-violent dialogue path available.

Come in through the front entrance, then use the first doorway on your right. On the shelf, the red toolbox contains Note 1/4, “Note From Your Friend,” and contraband heart medicine. Open its lock with a shot, or enter 214 if you’ve already read the kitchen recipe note. Read the note, then confiscate the heart medicine.

Cross the hall into the washroom and open the wall-mounted medicine cabinet. Confiscate the illegal South Korean medicine inside. That is the second contraband item.

Head into the room on the left and open the upper cabinet. Confiscate the Western novel, your third contraband item.

Move into the kitchen and open the upper-left cabinet to find Note 2/4, the “Baekseolgi-tteok Recipe.” Then check the adjacent cabinet and confiscate the extra rations, your fourth and final contraband item in this house.

The recipe note is the source of the toolbox code. It lists 2kg rice flour, 1L water, and 4 packs of raisins, which gives the combination 214. Read it first and you can open the toolbox without firing a shot.

Interrogate the couple without violence

The dialogue choices here decide No Harm Done. Pick the exact prompts below in order, and no civilian is harmed.

Talk to the wife in the kitchen. Choose “Please join your husband,” then, when prompted again, choose “I will not ask again.” She walks to the living room on her own.

Question the husband. Choose “Ask about South Korean medicine,” which works because you already confiscated it, then choose “Give up the defector. Now.”

The husband reveals where the defector is hiding, and No Harm Done unlocks on the spot. No one in the house was hurt.

Second and third houses: the last two notes

Follow your squadmate Ko through the second house. There is nothing to collect inside, so you can move straight through it. Everything left for No Stone Unturned is in the third house.

In the third house, use the bedroom entrance on the right. The cabinet beside the bed contains Note 3/4, “Note From Your Neighbor.” Open it to collect the note.

Third House: Bedroom Note 3 — The bedside cabinet in the third house's right bedroom holds Note 3/4. Shown at 02:08 in Maka91Productions’s video. Image: Activision

Pass through the sliding glass doors to reach the main area, then go into the room directly to your right. Take the spare key from the glass cabinet on top.

Move into the kitchen, turn off the kettle, and use the spare key on the floor hatch. Use the GRAB action twice to pull the woman out of the cellar hole.

Drop down into the cellar opening and crouch to read Note 4/4, “Note From Mom,” on the wooden shelf. This completes the set and unlocks No Stone Unturned.

You must choose to pull the woman out rather than leave her hidden. The final note sits in the cellar she is hiding in, and it is the collectible most players miss.

Confirming both trophies unlocked

No Harm Done pops the moment the husband gives up the defector’s location in the first house, so you will see it before you ever reach the second home. No Stone Unturned pops as soon as you read the fourth note down in the cellar, which is the last action of the collectible route.

If both notifications appeared during the same run, you have the full pair from Following Orders. If No Stone Unturned did not trigger at the cellar note, the item you are missing is almost always one of the four first-house pickups or the final note itself, so recheck that you grabbed every contraband piece and chose to extract the hiding woman before reloading a checkpoint.
