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

Following Orders, the campaign’s third assignment for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, puts you in control of a North Korean soldier searching village homes for contraband and a missing defector. The mission has two trophies, No Harm Done and No Stone Unturned. They can both be earned in one run: search thoroughly and don’t harm any civilians.

Quick answer: In the first house, collect all four contraband items and two notes, then pick the peaceful dialogue lines. In the third house, find two more notes, including one in a hidden cellar.

No Harm Done and No Stone Unturned requirements

Both trophies are worth 50 Gamerscore on Xbox and show up as Silver trophies on PlayStation. Difficulty isn’t a factor here. Recruit works fine for both.

Trophy	Condition	Where it pops
No Harm Done	Learn where the defector is while keeping every civilian unharmed	First house, during the interrogation
No Stone Unturned	Confiscate all contraband and read all notes	Third house, in the cellar

The mission has four notes and four contraband items. Here’s where each one is.

Collectible	House	Spot
Note 1/4 “Note From Your Friend” + heart medicine	First	Red toolbox, first room on the right
Illegal South Korean medicine	First	Bathroom wall cabinet
Western novel	First	Upper cabinet, room on the left
Note 2/4 “Baekseolgi-tteok Recipe”	First	Kitchen cabinet
Extra rations	First	Kitchen cabinet next to the note
Note 3/4 “Note From Your Neighbor”	Third	Cabinet beside the bed, right bedroom
Note 4/4 “Note From Mom”	Third	Wooden shelf in the kitchen cellar

The second house has nothing to pick up. You can follow your squadmate Ko straight through it.

First house: contraband and notes 1–2

Search the whole house before you talk to anyone. The medicine you confiscate opens up the dialogue line that gets the husband talking without force. If you question him first, that option won’t exist.

Enter through the front entrance, then use the first doorway on your right. Open the wardrobe and locate the locked red toolbox. Break its lock with gunfire, or type 214 if you have already read the kitchen recipe note.

Read Note 1/4, “Note From Your Friend,” then confiscate the heart medicine sitting next to it. That gives you your first note and your first piece of contraband.

Follow the hall to the bathroom and inspect the wall cabinet. Take the illicit South Korean medicine from inside.

Enter the room to your left and open the high wall cabinet above the desk. Confiscate the Western novel.

Walk into the kitchen and open the cabinets. One has Note 2/4, the “Baekseolgi-tteok Recipe.” The cabinet beside it has the extra rations, which you need to inspect to log your final piece of contraband.

Kitchen Rations & Note — The kitchen cabinets hold the rations and the recipe note, Note 2/4. Shown at 01:01 in Trophy Tom’s video. Image: Infinity Ward

The recipe lists 2kg of rice flour, 1L of water, and 4 packs of raisins. Those amounts give you the toolbox code, 214. Read the note beforehand and you can unlock the toolbox without shooting.

No Harm Done dialogue choices

The couple has to be questioned over two dialogue menus each. The game lists aggressive options next to the peaceful ones, so pick carefully.

Menu	Options shown	Pick
Wife, first	“Run while you can.” / “Comply or I can hurt you.” / “Please join your husband.”	“Please join your husband.”
Wife, second	“I will not ask again.” / “Then why did you run?” / “If you are loyal, you are safe.”	“I will not ask again.”
Husband, first	“Ask about rations” / “Ask about MP3 player” / “Ask about novel” / “Ask about South Korean medicine”	“Ask about South Korean medicine”
Husband, second	“Where is the defector hiding?” / “Give up the defector. Now.”	“Give up the defector. Now.”

Talk to the wife in the kitchen and choose “Please join your husband.” When the options return, pick “I will not ask again.” She will make her way to the living room without assistance.

Interrogating the Wife — The right two lines send the wife to the living room without anyone getting hurt. Shown at 01:28 in Trophy Tom’s video. Image: Infinity Ward

Go to the husband in the living room and pick “Ask about South Korean medicine.” This line only works because you already confiscated the medicine.

When the second menu opens, choose “Give up the defector. Now.” He tells you the defector ran next door, and No Harm Done unlocks right then.

Interrogating the Husband — Choosing "Give up the defector. Now." gets the husband to reveal the hiding spot and pops No Harm Done. Shown at 02:10 in Trophy Tom’s video. Image: Infinity Ward

Don’t shoot, strike, or threaten either of them at any point during the search or the interrogation. You don’t have to finish the mission for this one; it pops the moment the location is revealed.

Third house: notes 3–4 and the hidden cellar

After passing through the vacant second house, follow Ko to house three and wait for him to break down the door. Everything else required for No Stone Unturned is inside.

Go through the bedroom door on the right. Open the tall wardrobe beside the bed and read Note 3/4, “Note From Your Neighbor.” It mentions food hidden under the kitchen floor, which is your hint for what comes next.

Use the sliding glass doors to get back to the living area, then enter the side room directly to your right. Open the patterned glass cabinet and take the spare key from its top shelf.

In the kitchen, interact with the smoking steamer (kettle) on the floor to turn it off. Then use the spare key to unlock the trapdoor in the tiled floor and open it.

A woman is concealed in the hatch. Use GRAB on her twice (R3 on PlayStation) to haul her up into the room.

Enter the cellar, crouch down, and read Note 4/4, “Note From Mom,” from the wooden shelf. If you already have every other collectible, No Stone Unturned unlocks immediately.

You have to pull the woman out instead of leaving her hidden. The last note is in the cellar where she’s hiding, and it’s the collectible people miss most often.

Confirming both trophies and fixing a missed unlock

Keep an eye out for two notifications. “No Harm Done” appears in the first house as soon as the husband reveals the defector’s location, well before you reach the second house. In the cellar, “No Stone Unturned” appears when the counter reaches NOTES FOUND: 4/4; this is the final task on this route.

If No Harm Done didn’t pop, it’s usually one of these:

You questioned the husband before confiscating the medicine, so the peaceful line wasn’t available.
A civilian got hurt during the search or the interrogation.
You picked a violent or threatening response instead of the medicine line.
The husband never actually revealed where the defector was.

Reload the checkpoint from before the first-house interrogation, or replay Following Orders, then collect the medicine first and use the exact lines above. If No Stone Unturned didn’t pop at the cellar note, you’re almost certainly missing one of the four pickups in the first house. Go back and check each contraband item, and make sure you pulled the hiding woman out before reading the final note.
