I am too lazy to do all of them but maybe you are not. Not a fancy guide with visuals and photos but definitely a quick and a sharp one.
A mixture of my knowhow and internet research to complete all the achivements. Enjoy!

12) You Snooze, You Lose
Use the thermal vision in the End fight to see his footsteps. Sneak behind him with slow walk (NOT prone or normal walk). Get close to him and aim to his head. Once he lays down, move the aim to somewhere else and aim to his head again fast. Snake will say “I don’t think so”. Make this twice. Because in the 3rd one, the End will try to escape. The way to prevent that is holding the aim on his head this time and not move it like the first 2 times. You will get the achivement and the End will drop the Moss camo.
13) The Early End
In the area that you enter after the Pain boss fight, take the left path and grab the SVD sniper rifle in a heavily guarded room. Push the story once you are at the warehouse area. After the cutscene you will see a small portion of the End on a wheelchair, quickly grab your SVD sniper and kill him before they take him to inside of the building.
Note: That will skip the other achivements related to the End and some other ones as well. Make sure you save before you do this.
