Players take control of Jason Brody, an American vacationer who must explore and fight through the dangers of a pirate- infested tropical island. This guide will generally not direct you to play in a specific way unless there is no other choice. Whether you use stealth or fight your way through your challenges you should arrive to the same objectives. Mission objectives will generally not be elaborated on in great detail; the vast majority of all objectives are extremely straightforward, and this serves a dual purpose in avoiding story spoilers. Please note that map coordinates used in this guide, although copied from values observed during gameplay, can fluctuate slightly depending on the level of map zoom and player proximity to the given coordinates. As such, coordinates may be off by a small margin but not enough to mislead a player. If a given coordinate is significantly inaccurate, please refer to the Copyright / Contact Info section and submit a correction. Your contribution will be double-checked and edited in at my earliest opportunity. =============================================================================== ============================ (2.0) VERSION HISTORY ============================ =============================================================================== v1.00: (February 5th, 2013) -First version -Walkthrough, tips/skills, exploration, collectibles, and crafting sections considered complete, pending any future corrections. =============================================================================== =============================== (3.00) MISSIONS =============================== =============================================================================== Missions form the main storyline in Far Cry 3. Generally you can run around the island and do whatever you want between missions, but once you reach certain stages of a mission you'll have to complete it or abandon it and restart at another time. If you die partway through you will continue at the nearest checkpoint. If you quit partway through you will have to start from the beginning of the mission when you start playing again. Completing certain key missions will help unlock more skills, mobility options, shop items, and crafting recipes, so it is advised to strike a balance between exploration and mission progress. -------------------------- (3.01) MAKE A BREAK FOR IT ------------------------- -Follow Grant. Avoid getting caught. After the opening events, follow your brother Grant as you become introduced to some basic controls. -Grab the map on the table. Continue following Grant after doing so. -Throw a rock to lure the guard away from the window. Be sure to aim where the indicator is when you press the button, as it throws the rock immediately. When the guard moves, follow Grant to the window. -Lure the guards away from the exit. Same as before: throw a rock to distract the guards, then follow Grant. -Run into the jungle. -Go through the jungle. -Climb up the vines. -Cross the river. Sprint and keep running even if you take damage. Jump and follow onscreen prompts when they arise. ------------------------- (3.02) DOWN IN AMANAKI TOWN ------------------------- -Buy a 1911 handgun at the store. When you have control again, proceed into the store and buy the 1911, the only weapon you can afford at the moment. *NEW WEAPONS/ITEMS NOW AVAILABLE* Ammo -All ammo and munitions Handguns -1911 -6P9 -.44 Magnum SMGs -Skorpion -A2000 -MP5 Shotguns -M133 -1887 Assault Rifles -AK47 -STG-90 -F1 -MS16 Sniper Rifles -SVD -M-700 LMGs -PKM -U100 Launchers -RPG-7 -GL-94 Specials -Repair Tool -Flare Gun -Recurve Bow -Flamethrower Consumables -Body Armor *END* -Follow Dennis out of the village. -Go to the radio tower. -Get to the top of the radio tower. -Disable the scrambler. Follow the path and the marker up to the radio tower and climb to the top. Along the way, take note of any chests, items, or bodies with a flashing gold outline. This is a marking for where you can obtain money, ammo, or loot. -Use the zipline to reach the ground faster. -Talk to Dennis. -Open the world map. Once you reach the top and disable the scrambler, you will reveal some of the map area. Dennis will guide you through a brief peek at the world map, leading to the next mission. -------------------------- (3.03) HARVEST THE JUNGLE -------------------------- -Reach the hunting ground. Before you leave, you may wish to return to Amanaki Town's shop. Sell any loot you may have picked up on the way to the radio tower. Activating the towers grants free access to weapons; you may wish to switch to the newly unlocked 6P9 handgun or the STG-90 assault rifle. When you've finished shopping, continue to the marked hunting ground. The trip there should be free of any dangers like pirates or predators. *NEW ITEMS/WEAPONS* Maps -Item and Loot maps for the 4 regions of the North Island: Amanaki, Badtown, Northview Gas, and Hubert Shore Item maps will reveal the location of collectibles in areas where you have activated radio towers. Loot maps will reveal the locations of loot chests. It is recommended that you eventually purchase the item maps if you are looking to collect relics, letters of the lost, and memory cards. *END* -Kill and skin 2 boars, then collect the 3 types of plants in the hunting ground. Green plants and red plants should be easy to find. When you find boars, kill them with whatever method you desire (gun or knife), then loot them for skins. Blue plants will be found in the water. You can loot more than you need, but be advised that you can only carry a limited amount of loot at any one time. -Fast travel to Amanaki and meet with Dennis. -Talk to Dennis. -Use the menu to craft some syringes. -Craft Medicine. -Craft a Simple Loot Rucksack. -Learn Takedown and one other skill. -Get in the truck. Dennis will introduce you to crafting and skills as part of this tutorial. The first skill point will be invested in Takedown, but you can choose whether to put the other into Cook Grenades or Sprint Slide. Afterwards, Dennis will take you to your first outpost. *NEW RECIPES* Syringes - Medical -Medicine *Medicine can also now be bought in shops Syringes - Hunting -Hunter's Instinct Syringes - Combat -Fireproof Crafting All simple Equipment, Ammo packs, and Arrow Quivers available to craft. Craft the basic ones to advance to larger ones. *NEW SKILLs* The Heron -Cook Grenades -Hip Shooter -Syringe Potency -Death From Above -Steady Aim The Shark -Takedown -Physical Conditioning -Improved First Aid -Adrenaline -Ironsides The Spider -Sprint Slide -Takedown Drag -Running Reload -Horticulture 101 -Expert Swimmer *END* -------------------------- (3.04) SECURE THE OUTPOST -------------------------- -Eliminate all pirates in the outpost. You're free to approach this outpost however you desire; guns blazing, full stealth, or whatever combination you choose. If you are detected, Dennis and the 2 Rakyat warriors will come to help you fight the pirates. This outpost should have 5 standard Assaulter pirates and 1 Attack Dog. Some basic tips: *Use your camera to tag enemies. When tagged, you'll be able to detect enemies through walls and on your minimap. *Don't forget about rocks; if you want a lone enemy to come a little closer, toss a rock and use a Takedown when he passes by. *Enemies will not sound the alarm if they find a dead body, though they will be more active about looking for you. You are not considered "discovered" until an enemy fully detects you as noted by the onscreen detection meter. *You can use your weapons and still stay stealthy; just be sure to move away before you are detected and limit the number of shots you fire. *If possible, save the dog for last as it will most likely notice you and alert the other enemies. -Search for Liza in the main outpost building. After you check the building, you will be free to explore. When you want to continue with the next mission, head over to Dr. Earnhardt's house at the west edge of the island. ------------------------- (3.05) MUSHROOMS IN THE DEEP ------------------------ -Go talk to Dr. Earnhardt. *Once you reach this objective, you will be unable to explore freely until the *end of this mission. Please be advised. No combat involved in this mission. -Go see Daisy. -Find an entrance to the cave. Follow the map marker to the water's edge. The cave entrance is underwater. -Explore the cave to find the mushrooms. Head further inside the cave. Dive into the pool, then keep climbing any vines in your path. Continue through the cave and enjoy the "unique" scenery. -Find the mushrooms. -Return to Dr. Earnhardt at the Greenhouse. -Reach the top of the cliffs to return to Dr. Earnhardt. -Meet with Daisy. Your next objective will be the Medusa, a beached ship on the north shore of the island far north of Amanaki Outpost. *NEW RECIPE* Syringes - Hunting -Animal Repellent *END* *You are free to explore again* -------------------------- (3.06) THE MEDUSA'S CALL --------------------------- -Go to the Medusa *Once you reach this objective, you will be unable to explore freely until the *end of this mission. Please be advised. -Avoid detection. Use stealth to kill the patrolling radio operators and get their intel. You must remain undetected for this part. Your goal is to kill and loot the 3 radio operators in the area. They can be identified by their green clothes (as opposed to the usual red of most pirates) and the gold mark above their head when tagged with your camera or weapon. -Reach the control room on the Medusa. Stock up on ammo and body armor in the control room and get ready for a fight. -Get rid of the reinforcements on the beach. Your position in this fight is an advantage; enemies will need to run up the stairs on the north end of the ship to reach you. You can either shoot from above or make some noise and pick off the pirates as they come to you. When you have killed all pirates in the area, this mission will be completed. *You are free to explore again* ------------------------- (3.07) PLAYING THE SPOILER -------------------------- -Go talk to Dennis. Dennis will task you with sabotaging weapons at one of Vaas's camps. You're still able to explore at this point, so it's recommended to activate the radio tower for this region first. (Listed in this guide as Radio Tower 7) -Go to the Logging Camp. *Once you reach this objective, you will be unable to explore freely until the *end of this mission. Please be advised. -Get to the vantage point. -Disable the alarm before it is activated. Despite what the objective may indicate, stealth is not required here and there seems to be no penalty for triggering the alarm. Regardless, there should be around 9 enemies in this section. -Enter the weapon cache. -Plant the bomb. -Get to a safe spot. -Escape the area or kill all remaining pirates nearby. Once you enter the building, restock on ammo if you need it and plant the bomb. More enemies will be outside, but just run away from the weapon cache until it explodes. Afterwards, whether you stay to kill pirates or run away, the mission will be completed. *NEW RECIPE* Syringes - Hunting -Deadly Hunter *END* *You are free to explore again* --------------------------- (3.08) PRISON BREAK-IN ---------------------------- -Explore the island, or head to Sunset Cove when ready. *Once you reach this objective, you will be unable to explore freely until the *end of the next two missions. Please be advised. -Approach the camp. -Kill the camp operator and get the prison key. -Loot the prison key from the camp operator's body. -Use the key to explore the prison. As with Mission 6, you can identify the operator by his green outfit and gold tag icon. Whether you go stealthy or loud, keep an eye out for enemies in the towers on the hills. Once you've looted the prison key, you'll have to fight your way through a few waves of enemies as you breach the interior. The path is fairly straightforward so just continue to the end. This will transition directly to the next mission. -------------------------- (3.09) ISLAND PORT HOTEL --------------------------- -Rescue Liza. Although this is a timed section, there's no need to rush. You have more than enough time. Take it slow and listen to Jason's audio cues for clues on what to do as you carefully advance forward and upward. -Protect the truck. For this section you'll have access to an infinite ammo GL-94 grenade launcher. (Note that this doesn't count as owning the weapon; you'll still have to buy or unlock it in another way if you haven't already.) This will replace whatever weapon you had in slot 2. Aim carefully at each approaching truck and take time to reload when you can. Near the end of this section, this weapon will be replaced with an infinite ammo 1911 handgun. At the end of this section, you'll transition directly to the next mission. *NEW RECIPE* Syringes - Exploration -Deep Dive *END* ----------------------------- (3.10) KEEPING BUSY ----------------------------- -Find a way to the cave. -Find the power head inside the cave. -Bring the power head back to Daisy. -Speak to Liza. No combat involved in this mission. After the reunion, head a little further into the cave and follow the marker. The power head will be found underwater. For avid collectors, be advised that there is a relic in the cave (Relic #1: Spider 1) that will eventually become unobtainable. On your way out, you may notice a bowl of red drugs near the north wall of the cave. Have a bite for a flashback sequence. There will be more of these as the game continues; you can choose to view new ones as you come back to the cave, or save them for another visit. *NEW RECIPE* Special Arrows -Fire Arrow *END* *You are free to explore again* ---------------------------- (3.11) MEETING CITRA ----------------------------- -Exit the cave. -Explore the island, or talk to Citra when ready for a new objective. There's no combat involved in the main portion of this mission, so it's advised to do this as soon as possible for the rewards it gives. -Meet Dennis. *Once you reach this objective, you will be unable to explore freely until the *end of the mission. Please be advised. -Follow Dennis. -Search for the object Citra desires. Proceed into the temple and through the sequence that follows. This will give you a taste of upcoming events. -Leave Citra's temple. Your next objective is Badtown, far to the northeast of the island. You can explore on the way there or fast-travel straight to it now. Your next wave of skills is also unlocked now; this would be a good opportunity to gain XP. *NEW SKILLS* The Heron -Aimed Reload -Long Gun Expert -Enhanced Syringe Potency -Line Gunner -Soft Landing -Deep Breath -Breath Control -Death From Below -Dual Death From Above The Shark -Advanced Conditioning -Advanced First Aid -Field Medic -Field Surgeon -Chained Takedown -Grenade Takedown -Evasive Driving -Fire Retardant The Spider -Nimble Fingers -Quick Swap -Expert Archery -Combat Archery -Jungle Run -Zoology 101 -Stone Wall -Knife Throw Takedown -Loot Takedown *END* *You are free to explore again* --------------------------- (3.12) BAD SIDE OF TOWN --------------------------- -Investigate Badtown. *Once you reach this objective, you will be unable to explore freely until the *end of the mission. Please be advised. No combat involved in this mission. -Visit the bar. -Play a game of poker. Don't worry if you haven't learned Poker. This part is automatic. -Follow the man in white without getting noticed. This section should not be too difficult, but the detection on whether or not you can see the man in white (a fail condition if you lose him for 20 consecutive seconds) can be a bit dodgy sometimes. You should have no problems with being seen by him. As long as you follow a moderate distance while crouched, just like regular stealth gameplay. You don't even need to really hide; the man in white doesn't look behind him as he walks. The mission technically ends here, but you can go in now and still explore before beginning the combat portion of the next mission. *You are free to explore again* ---------------------- (3.13) KICKING THE HORNET'S NEST ----------------------- -Enter the shack and confront the stranger. -Go talk to Willis. -Leave the hut. Feel free to take the free Flamethrower if you don't already have it unlocked. It's intended for you to to bring it for this mission, but Molotovs, Fire Arrows, and/or the Flare Gun can replace or supplement it. As such, you may also want to bring a Fireproof syringe or two. A Launcher is also recommended for heavy enemies. -Reach the drug fields. *Once you reach this objective, you will be unable to explore freely until the *end of the mission. Please be advised. -Burn all of the drug crops in the area. -Find the next drug crops. -Burn all of the remaining drug crops. Try not to set all of the fields on fire at once. There seems to be a limit to how much fire the game can handle at any one time. Wait for one field to fully burn before moving on to the next. Be conservative with your fire and try to stay in cover in the later fields due to the abundance of enemies. -Reach the fishing village. -Destroy the boat. Use the RPG-7 provided at the pier to destroy the boat. Any remaining enemies are optional. *NEW STORY QUEST + NEW RECIPE* Cargo Dump (X:704.7, Y:678.0) -Special Arrows Explosive Arrow *END* *You are free to explore again* --------------------------- (3.14) A MAN NAMED HOYT --------------------------- -Go talk to Willis. -Leave the hut. This is a heavy combat mission. Stock up on ammo before heading out. -Go to the rice fields. *Once you reach this objective, you will be unable to explore freely until the *end of the mission. Please be advised. -Get to the observation point undetected. -Secure the area before Rongo is killed. -Rescue Rongo. After you kill the initial two enemies, take your time moving up to Rongo. As the cutscene implies, this is a minefield. Go slowly; the trigger radius of the mines is not very large and they beep loudly when you're getting close. -Follow and protect Rongo as he makes his way to the village. Advance slowly and stay near Rongo. Pick off any enemies that appear. Don't worry if he gets hurt; he will heal a little while after he stops taking damage. -Protect Rongo while he searches his house. This section will have a lot of melee and shotgun pirates. This room only has one way for them to enter, making it a good place to defend. Just use takedowns on each enemy as they come in. -Get the documents from Rongo. *NEW RECIPE* Syringes - Combat -Sharpshooter *END* *You are free to explore again* ---------------------------- (3.15) SAVING OLIVER ----------------------------- -Intercept the convoy carrying Oliver. *Once you reach this objective, you will be unable to explore freely until the *end of the mission. Please be advised. This mission has a moderate amount of combat, but weapons will be provided for you with high power and ammo. Just come well-armored and with syringes. -Go to the vantage point. There is enough time to run to the vantage point on foot, but there are a couple of pirates there you may need a few seconds to kill. Use the vehicle to get you at least part of the way there just to save some time. -Use the camera to identify Oliver. -Wait for perfect moment to shoot. -Kill the guards, Oliver must not be taken away. -Clear a path for Oliver to reach the boat. Oliver will be in one of the 4 approaching land vehicles, tagged blue when you see him. When you automatically switch to the Z93 sniper rifle (you won't get to keep this after the mission, but it has infinite spare ammo for now), proceed to kill all pirates that appear as Oliver makes his escape. You shouldn't need to try for headshots with this rifle; it's incredibly powerful and body shots are enough to kill. Despite that, remember that guns do not penetrate most objects in this game. Take your time and line up your shots. Zoom if needed. Kill enemies close to Oliver first. As Oliver reaches the boat, look out for a RPG-wielding pirate from the building. You absolutely need to kill him before getting on the boat. It is very unlikely for Oliver to survive otherwise. -Get in the boat turret. -Protect the boat. This section plays much like the escape with Liza from an earlier mission. Watch your detection meter and minimap. If you haven't used a mounted gun before, keep in mind that it can overheat. Fire conservatively and let it cool down when there are no enemies. Afterwards you'll be back in Dr. Earnhardt's cave. You can have a short conversation with Daisy and Oliver, and you can also view another flashback sequence at the red drug table. Another reminder for relic collectors - Relic #1: Spider 1 is hidden in the cave and will eventually become unobtainable. *NEW RECIPE* Syringes - Exploration -Sprint Burst *You are free to explore again* -------------------------- (3.16) PIECE OF THE PAST --------------------------- -Exit the cave. -Go talk to Buck. Head over to Badtown and have a chat with Buck. Afterwards, gear up for a heavy combat mission. Consider taking a Deep Dive syringe in addition to necessities. -Infiltrate the Nostalgia. *Once you reach this objective, you will be unable to explore freely until the *end of the mission. Please be advised. Take a boat out towards the Nostalgia, but get out and swim when you're close to help stay undetected. -Find the entrance. This first section on the main deck has 10 pirates, including a heavy. -Infiltrate the Nostalgia. Staying stealthy will make this section easier. Start with a takedown on the guard in front of you as you enter. In the first room with alarms there are 2 pirates. Either kill both of them quickly with silenced weapons or use a rock to distract them for a takedown. -Find the laptop in the hold of the Nostalgia. Next room: one pirate patrols the floor, a second pirate stares at the northwest corner. Takedown the moving pirate first. Third room: 3 pirates on patrol. Sneak around the left to kill the one in the back of the room first. Take out the other two in whatever manner you wish. Open the door; your last enemy will be 1 heavy. -Hack the laptop to find the knife. -Backtrack to escape the boat. You'll be underwater for most of this escape. There are oxygen tanks you can use to refill your air, but having Deep Dive or the Deep Breathing skill makes this easier. Just follow the waypoints. *NEW RECIPE* Syringes - Medicine -Endorphin Boost *You are free to explore again* -------------------------- (3.17) DOWN IN THE DOCKS --------------------------- -Go talk to Buck. *Once you reach this objective, you will be unable to explore freely until the *end of the mission. Please be advised. The general theme of the next few missions is going to follow a basic formula: infiltrate ancient ruins, kill pirates in the first half, solve "puzzles" in the second half, ending with an escape sequence. Stay stocked up on ammo and syringes between missions. -Enter the bunker. -Reach the submarine dock. -Find the cave entrance. Straightforward. Climb, jump, and swim through the only paths open to you. The submarine area has 6 pirates. Swim under some of the wreckage. If you have Death From Below, this is a good place to get one kill for it to unlock Dual Death From Below later. -Find a way into the Chinese ruins. 7 pirates in this next section. If you can take out the first few quickly, an explosive switch can be used to kill 3-4 of the others. -Explore the Chinese ruins. Fair warning: there's a crocodile in the water. Otherwise the path is clear. -Enter in the temple to find the treasure room. -Find solution to reach the treasure room. Press the 2 door switches in the room. The left one will only close partially. Go right and destroy the 3 highlighted sections of wood. The water level will rise. Go to the left side and repeat the process. Now you can reach the top of this room. -Enter the treasure room. -Pick up the compass. -Find an exit before everything collapses. You have plenty of time to escape and you don't need to go far. Take it slow. *You are free to explore again* ---------------------------- (3.18) THE MOTHERLODE ---------------------------- -Go talk to Buck. *Once you reach this objective, you will be unable to explore freely until the *end of the mission. Please be advised. -Explore the mines to find the third compass piece. -Follow the tracks to explore the mine. Throughout this area there will be minecarts you can push (sometimes killing enemies) and wood supports you can use to drop boulders on enemies. First corridor: two pirates. Second corridor (after a left turn): 3 pirates, then 8 pirates beyond that. Use cover and explosives wisely and let the pirates come to you or expose themselves rather than rushing them. -Get past the pirate encampment and cross the bridge. Use the minecarts as cover. Two snipers at the end of the track, two other pirates far off to the left. As you approach the sniper position, a molotov pirate will emerge. Cross the bridge and a molotov and heavy will each appear. -Find the strange door inside the excavation site. 10 pirates scattered about the next section. This section is filled with wood supports; shoot them and drop rocks on pirates whenever possible. -Enter the mystical room. -Find the hidden passage. Watch out for the occasional komodo dragon from here onward. After opening the passage you can explore the side rooms for loot if you desire. -Explore the depths. -Take the old elevator to venture deeper. -Reach the treasure room. -Pick up the third part of the compass. -Escape the temple before everything collapses. All straightforward. For the escape, keep sprinting and follow the path, jumping to a parallel path when needed. *You are free to explore again* ------------------------- (3.19) LIN CONG I PRESUME? -------------------------- -Go talk to Buck. *Once you reach this objective, you will be unable to explore freely until the *end of the mission. Please be advised. -Dive into the cenote. -Find the entrance. -Find the way to the tomb. After climbing the vine, jump down the hole. Hopefully you have Death From Above by now. Not counting the poor pirate you jumped on, the next room has 2 pirates (close), 2 dogs (far, to the right), and one heavy (left, behind a raised drawbridge. If alerted the heavy will lower the drawbridge but you can also go right to reach him. The room beyond has 5 enemies who will likely be alerted if you had to kill the heavy. -Follow the cable to find another path. The next area following the cable zipline is a large, spiraling room with 9 pirates. Unless you brought a silenced weapon you can use on a zipline, you will probably alert all enemies in this section. Use cover and work your way down slowly. Two more pirates across the next zipline. Good opportunity for a well-timed jump into a Dual Death From Above. -Use the scaffolding to reach the hot water. Two more pirates not far from the scaffolding base. -Cross the hot water. Three more pirates along the high wall in this wide open area. The leftmost one wields a RPG. Four more pirates atop the next high wall, but no RPG men here. -Reach the tomb entrance, the knife must be inside. Take note of how the water below bubbles, and which rocks are safe to stand on. Wait until the water stops bubbling before you cross the area. -Find the real tomb entrance. -Open the sarcophagus and pick up the knife. Three komodo dragons on your way to the knife. Be cautious. -Avoid the traps, get out. Short escape sequence this time. *You are free to explore again* --------------------------- (3.20) UNHAPPY REUNION ---------------------------- -Go to Buck's hut. Short mission. No combat. Buck's hut is located on a hill just outside of Badtown. Follow the roads shown on the map. -Bring the knife to Buck. Watch and interact as events unfold. ------------------------- (3.21) THIS KNIFE'S FOR YOU ------------------------- -Exit the cave. You can have a chat with Oliver and Daisy. Third and final flashback available at the red drug table in the corner. Warning again for relic collectors: Relic #1: Spider 1 is in this cave and will be unobtainable soon. -Bring the knife to Citra. -Leave Citra's temple. Short mission. No combat. -------------------------------- (3.22) AMBUSH -------------------------------- -Go talk to the Rakyat Leader. *Once you reach this objective, you will be unable to explore freely until the *end of the next mission. Please be advised. Gear up before you head out. Prioritize syringes and extra leaves for more syringes. You can be less concerned with spare ammo and guns for a while. -Place the explosives on the fuel truck. -Reach the top of the water tower before the convoy comes within sight of the village. -Wait at the top of the water tower for the convoy to get ambushed. -Protect the Rakyat people. Say hello to the privateers. These private soldiers are a little better armed and armored than pirates. There's a sniper rifle provided on the water tower if you didn't bring one. After you kill enough, the next objective triggers. -Get in the cargo truck. -Reach the convoy. -Eliminate the remaining privateers. Chase down the armored vehicle. You have plenty of time to catch up with it, despite the time limit. -Save the prisoners inside the convoy truck. If only it was that easy. Transition to next mission. ------------------------ (3.23) WARRIOR RESCUE SERVICE ------------------------ -Get out of the cenote. -Follow the truck. -Reach the chopper. Any weapons, ammo, grenades, molotovs, mines, or C4 you had in the previous mission will be temporarily unavailable. All you have is your skills, loot, syringes, and camera. For now. If you are detected and an alarm is sounded before reaching the chopper, a 5 minute timer starts. As long as you don't trigger an alarm you won't have to deal with a time limit. The longer you can stealthy, the more room you'll have to cover for mistakes. Just beyond the waterfall is a pirate, followed by 2 more in the distance. Take their M133 shotgun and AK47. Tag enemies from the cliff and proceed below, either jumping down the cliff or taking the low dirt path back to the left. Enemies in this initial area: 1 sniper on the "left" rooftop. 1 RPG user on one of the "right" rooftops. 1 pirate patrolling below the cliff. 1 pirate patrolling the central yard. 1 pirate patrolling the shallow water. Between the enemies here, you'll have your choice of additional weapons: A2000 SMG, SVD sniper, and RPG-7. Whatever you choose, be sure to fill up on ammo using one of the many ammo crates in this area. Across the bridge: 2 snipers and 1 minigun user on the rooftops. 3 pirates arrive in a vehicle shortly after crossing the bridge. 1 heavy and 1 attack dog near the chopper. You can go around the back side using the waterway one of the first group of pirates was patrolling. If all else fails, just make a run for the chopper door and you'll be invincible once the next event starts. -Get out of the mass grave. -Retrieve equipment. -Search camp for equipment. Once again, you're stripped of all weapons. Strangely you will also be missing the camera this time. Use takedowns, your knife, and any weapons you find in the nearby huts such as a Flare Gun, C4, and mines. The shack housing your equipment is guarded by a heavy. *You are free to explore again* ------------------------- (3.24) NEW RITE OF PASSAGE -------------------------- -Meet Citra. *Once you reach this objective, you will be unable to explore freely until the *end of the next mission. Please be advised. Investing in the Expert Archery and Combat Archery skills at this time is recommended. Restock on medicine. -Defeat the Ink Monster. Focus on surviving and dodging attacks. This fight can take a while if you're not used to the bow, but you have infinite arrows. Aim for the head; the best time to do so is after one of his attacks. Initially he will mainly tilt his head back and attack with a damaging breath; sprint to one side or the other to avoid this. Do enough damage and it will transition to another phase; the Ink Monster will hide while shadowy warriors emerge to attack you. Fight them off with your arrows. Kill enough of them to return to fighting the Ink Monster. He will now throws blobs from his hands, 4 at a time. As long as you keep moving (without aiming down your bow sights) you can outrun it easily. Finishing him off is just a matter of time. -Finish it off. Time to finish things on the north island. *NEW SKILLS* The Heron -Cool Gunner -Marathon Man -Dual Death From Below -Gunslinger Takedown The Shark -Expert Conditioning -Peak Conditioning -Button Up -Adrenaline Surge -Heavy Beatdown The Spider -Nimble Hands -Ninja Step -Penny Pincher -Dealmaker *END* ------------------------------- (3.25) PAYBACK -------------------------------- -Reach Vaas' island. -Enter the compound. One pirate at the pier, two by a campfire. Beyond that is a larger, more open area: a pirate and two dogs in front, with a sniper above them to the right, and two pirates to the left. Ignore or deal with them as you see fit, then climb up to and enter the door to the compound. -Find and kill Vaas. -Fight through the compound. After you emerge from the roof, make your way into the building on the left. This is probably the best place to defend as you pick off all enemies in the courtyard. There is a caged tiger you can use to your advantage. As you reach the far side of the courtyard, a heavy emerges from the warehouse. Finish him off along with any other pirates and/or charge into the building. After the event, move forward. Once you regain access to a weapon, continue to charge forward and kill or run past each enemy as you see fit. You won't need to use too many bullets on each enemy. Sprint, knife, and/or use medicine as needed until you reach the end. Watch and interact as events unfold. ---------------------------- (3.26) CITRA'S FAVOR ----------------------------- -Leave Citra's temple. -Speak with the rescued friends. Have one last chat with Keith and Oliver before you leave. This is your last chance to get Relic #1: Spider 1. *You are free to explore again* ------------------------------ (3.27) FLY SOUTH ------------------------------- -Exit the cave. -Go talk to Willis. *Once you reach this objective, you will be unable to explore freely until the *end of the next mission. Please be advised. All main events on the north island are finished; the remainder of the story will be played out on the south island. If you're vigilant about doing everything, here is what you should have after completing all the north island has to offer: 20 Outposts 11 Radio Towers 76 Relics 13 Letters of the Lost 13 Memory Cards 7 Trials of the Rakyat All recipes All rare Path of the Hunter quests necessary to craft the best equipment Restock on ammo and consumables. This mission has some heavy combat and you can't afford to take your time and be stealthy. Bring explosives or any other weapons that can kill a lot of pirates quickly. When you're ready, head over to Amanaki Outpost to meet with Willis. Sort of. -Reach the airstrip. Hop on the quad bike nearby and hurry to the location. Once you get within 200m the time limit will disappear. This is more than enough time even if you happen to crash your vehicle. -Save Willis. -Kill the remaining pirates. -Talk to Willis. Fend off all of the pirates. Willis is harder to defend than previous escorts as he doesn't take cover. It's usually safer for you to take damage and heal it away rather than take the risk of letting Willis die. A mounted gun is available near the plane, but pirates will start pouring in from angles it can't cover after the first wave. First wave from the south, allowing you to use the mounted gun without fear. Second wave comes from the west when Willis is ~25% done, including one heavy. Third wave (Willis ~60% done) from west and north, including trucks armed with mounted guns. The last wave approaches from the south and west, with one heavy included west and two from the north. --------------------------- (3.28) THREE BLIND MICE --------------------------- -Land in the south island beach drop zone. You now have the wingsuit and parachute. This is essentially like being able to use a glider whenever you want. Never be afraid of long falls again. Glide to the indicated location. As long as you deploy your parachute before you touch the ground, you'll be fine. Don't worry about needing to slow down or things of that nature. -Kill the pirates and take their truck. On the beach ahead you can spot 6 pirates and a caged tiger. Easy pickings after having been through the previous missions. -Find Sam at the Crazy Cock bar. -Talk to the privateer about the secret poker game. -Play poker with Sam. Don't worry if you still haven't played poker. You just need to play a hand, you won't need to win. -Follow Sam into the alleyway. *NEW ITEMS/WEAPONS* Handguns -D50 SMGs -BZ19 -Vector .45 ACP Shotguns -SPAS-12 Assault Rifles -P416 -ACE Sniper Rifle -Z93 LMG -MKG Maps -Item and Loot maps available for the 4 regions of the South Island: Gaztown, Thurston Town, The Compound, and Break Point Docks. *END* *You are free to explore again* ----------------------------- (3.29) DOPPELGANGER ----------------------------- -Find Sam and ask him about Hoyt. This mission will require stealth and not much else. It is strongly recommended that you complete this mission before you set out and explore the south island; you will be getting something that will make your travels easier. -Carefully approach the cenote. *Once you reach this objective, you will be unable to explore freely until the *end of the mission. Please be advised. -Enter the cenote via the stairs. You need to stay undetected and you are unable to kill any enemies. The only tools you can rely on are your camera, rocks, and skills. Use a rock to distract the lazy privateer sitting in a chair, then sneak past him and down the stairs. -Infiltrate the cave without being spotted. Once you're all the way down the stairs, you'll be in a U-shaped cave with one privateer patrolling. Wait for him to turn his back and follow him into the next room with another privateer. Hide behind the leftmost boxes until the other privateer leaves the room. Head right (west) and drop down to the next level below. Once the moving privateer stops, throw a rock at the other side of the room and sneak by. -Approach the entrance to the dock. The next room is empty. Two privateers are outside: one facing away but in the hallway, another sitting in a chair. Hide behind the leaves in the room and use a rock to distract the first privateer. Walk behind the waterfall to elude the second. Continue down the ramp and back indoors. -Find an alternate route to the docks. Proceed into the next room. Tag two privateers on the left, then duck into the marked bushes to tag four more below, including two heavies. Hug the east wall of the room to get past the first two privateers, then sneak under the ramp to avoid the rest of the room. Dive into the water and start swimming. -Climb aboard Hoyt's ship. -Quietly eliminate the recruit and take his uniform. Climb the ladder up to the boat's deck, then takedown the recruit. You now have the privateer uniform. Privateers will not attack you while wearing this unless you provoke them first, whether by attacking them or being seen attacking another privateer. Certain locations like outposts are still restricted; privateers will shoot if you are caught in a restricted area. You will also be able to fast travel to several camp locations on the south island. -Allow the privateer officer to scan the ID. -Join the other recruits and meet Hoyt for orientation. -Use the boat to leave the cenote. *You are free to explore again* ---------------------------- (3.30) TRIPLE DECKER ----------------------------- -Go to the old temple. *Once you reach this objective, you will be unable to explore freely until the *end of the mission. Please be advised. -Kill 3 VIPs and search them for evidence. Take your time and tag every enemy in the area before you start to make this process easier. You can identify VIPs at a glance by their yellow caps and lack of body armor. There should be 13 privateers in the area to tag: Bottom area: 6 enemies, including one VIP. Also a caged komodo dragon. Top area: 2 heavies along the east side, one VIP, and one normal privateer. Mines: 3 privateers, including one VIP Start from the top and mines areas and work your way down. Work on lone enemies first, and no more than 2 at a time if you have Chained Takedown. More enemies seem to appear as you kill the captains, so be on the lookout for ~6 more as you work your way down. -Leave the area. *You are free to explore again* ------------------------ (3.31) DEFUSING THE SITUATION ------------------------ -Meet with Sam at the plantation. *Once you reach this objective, you will be unable to explore freely until the *end of the mission. Please be advised. Heavy combat in this mission with minimal opportunities for stealth. Gear up before you meet with Sam. -Follow Sam to the bomb location. -Protect Sam as he disarms the first/second/last bomb. Another escort mission. Unlike the previous examples, Sam can usually take care of himself and stays indoors while you handle most of the pirates. For the last bomb, you'll have access to a mounted gun. Take advantage of it, especially for the chopper that arrives at the end. -Talk to Sam. *You are free to explore again* ------------------------------ (3.32) DEEPTHROAT ------------------------------ -Explore the island, or go to the gorge when ready. *Once you reach this objective, you will be unable to explore freely until the *end of the mission. Please be advised. More heavy combat. -Approach the mining camp from the river. -Breach the camp without triggering the alarm. Use the zipline atop the ladder to cross the gorge. Repeat on the other side. Resist the temptation to kill these early privateers. When you get to the top of the guard tower, use a takedown on the napping guard. -Use the camera to observe the meeting. -Take a picture of the meeting now. Look to the bridge off in the distance. You'll need to take a picture when prompted. -Stop the pirates from leaving. Find an RPG and shoot their 4x4. If you left the sleeping guard alive, all remaining privateers will go hostile and sound the alarm. In any case, take the zipline and follow the objective marker to a RPG. Use it to destroy the jeep on the bridge. Then get ready to fight your way through to the end of the mission. -Get the role sheet from the pirate boss. More privateers will appear as you go. You don't need to rush to the boss; take your time and use cover as you slowly advance. From the point where you get the RPG, go south across the gorge and make your way to the highest point to the east (farthest from the bridge), where there is a zipline. From the north side, continue to another zipline. After that it's a straight shot to the bridge. -Jump from the bridge to escape the privateers. -Reach the getaway vehicle. Jump and glide to safety with your wingsuit. *You are free to explore again* -------------------------------- (3.33) ALL IN -------------------------------- -Reach Hoyt's HQ. *Once you reach this objective, you will be unable to explore freely until the *end of the mission. Please be advised. No combat involved in this mission. -Speak to Sam. -Meet up with Sam in the basement. -Interrogate the prisoner. *You are free to explore again* ---------------------------- (3.34) PAINT IT BLACK ---------------------------- -Get to the communications center. *Once you reach this objective, you will be unable to explore freely until the *end of the mission. Please be advised. Heavy combat. Gear up before you head out. Enemies will be packed in tight groups for much of this mission, so explosives are recommended more than ever. Stealth isn't required for the outdoor section of this missions so whether you go loud or quiet is up to your preference. If you prefer stealth, the north cliff face can get you most of the way in without any guard presence. Two heavies guard the door into the comm center. If you're sneaking from the north, you can wait until the patrolling heavy turns and walks south, then plant the explosives on the door from behind the stationary heavy. -Breach the bunker doors and enter the bunker. -Get topside to the satellite dish. The path inside is mostly straightforward. More enemies spawn as you head further inside. Hole up in whatever room you're in until all current enemies are dead. -Place an explosive device on the satellite. -Prevent the enemy from disarming the bomb. After placing the bomb you'll need to defend it, but the privateers tend to be reluctant about advancing on your position. Coupled with the fact that you have good defensive ground, you shouldn't have many issues with fighting them off. Prioritize explosive power towards any heavies that appear. Don't be scared of an approaching helicopter; that's just Sam. -Board the chopper and escape with Sam. *You are free to explore again* ------------------------------ (3.35) BLACK GOLD ------------------------------ -Go talk to Sam. *Once you reach this objective, you will be unable to explore freely until the *end of the mission. Please be advised. Heavy combat. Gear up before you head out. If you have not yet gotten the Cool Gunner skill, it's recommended that you get it now. -Drive into the fuel depot with Sam. -Destroy the four key areas. There are four locations in the depot that you need to destroy; this is done by running into an enclosed area near each location, planting a bomb, then escaping before it detonates. Sam hangs out in the turret position for most of the mission. It's rare for him to die and he is actually quite helpful where he is. Make sure you park your vehicle in a way that lets you easily get away from the explosion. Take time to set this up before running in to plant bombs. -Bring Sam near the fuel reserve maintenance building. -Man the turret. -Hold this ground and push back enemy reinforcements until Sam returns. Your turn to be the gunner. Take advantage of any explosive barrels scattered about the area, and use the detection markers to help you acquire targets. *You are free to explore again* --------------------------- (3.36) ACED IN THE HOLE --------------------------- -Reach Hoyt's compound. -Speak to Sam. Sam will advise you at the front gate and an onscreen popup will tell you in no uncertain terms: *****THIS IS A POINT OF NO RETURN***** You CAN continue playing after the ending and access everything you could get before now. The main changing factor is that you will lose the privateer uniform after the ending, so privateers will always be hostile just like pirates were previously. If that bothers you, consider doing whatever you want to do on the south island before continuing with this mission. Poker time. Play the hand however you want. This section is automatic. As for the boss himself, follow the onscreen prompts. ---------------------- (3.37) BETTING AGAINST THE HOUSE ----------------------- -Get to the airport. You have 12 minutes to reach the airport. Fight your way out of the compound in the direction of the objective marker. Once you're outside the gates, get in one of the vehicles and drive. When you get within ~180M, you won't have to deal with a time limit anymore. -Search the airport and rescue Riley. Riley is being kept in the southwest-most building of the compound. The soldiers here don't automatically know you're here so you can still take a stealthy approach. -Clear the area so Riley can reach the chopper safely. Riley keeps himself well out of harm's way, so don't worry about protecting him too much. Hole up in the building for a bit while the privateers get closer and use takedowns or your weapons as you deem appropriate. -Get to the helicopter. -Protect the helicopter. You'll be using the mounted gun for the rest of the mission. This, as with most such sections, is straightforward. Prioritize vehicles, other helicopters, and RPG users. Enjoy the music. You earned it. -------------------------- (3.38) THE DOCTOR IS OUT --------------------------- -Search for any survivors. -Get to the helicopter. ----------------------------- (3.39) HARD CHOICES ----------------------------- -Meet Citra. When you regain control, continue forward until you have to make a choice. This determines which of the two endings you get. Regardless of your choice, you can continue playing after the credits. Enjoy the ending, warrior; you have completed the main story of Far Cry 3! =============================================================================== ============================ (4.0) TIPS AND SKILLS ============================ =============================================================================== ---------------------------- (4.1) GENERAL ADVICE ----------------------------- 1) Exploration / Quests -Activating radio towers should be a high prirority whenever venturing to new parts of the island. Knowing the lay of the land is very valuable. -Similarly, taking outposts as you go makes fast-travel across the island possible. If you want to leave some outposts just to have enemies to fight, try to check ones which don't have Memory Cards in them. -Don't feel obligated to take on every quest; Supply Drops, Wanted Dead, Story Quests, and non-rare Path of the Hunter quests all only award money and XP. -Take a break to hunt for animals if you need more room for loot, weapons, syringes, or ammo. A little preparation now saves frustration later. 2) Crafting / Loot -All loot whose recommended use it to be sold... should be sold. They can't be used for anything else, so there's little point in keeping them. -Don't hoard animal skins; check the crafting section to see if a certain skin is used for any other recipes. If you can't use a skin right now or will never need it again, consider selling the skin to make room in your loot rucksack. -Stay well-stocked with Medicine and green leaves. A good balance is to fill at least half of your syringe case with Medicine, and have at least half that amount in spare green leaves. -Keep 1 syringe slot open, and keep enough spare leaves for one or two of any syringes you may plan on using. You never know when you might need it. -Check the Radio Towers section to see when each weapon unlocks; if a weapon you want unlocks soon, consider saving the money. 3) Weapon Selection -when your weapon holster space is limited early on it's best to choose a well rounded weapon for primary use; the MS16 assault rifle is recommended due to it's high power and ability to support the Sound Suppressor attachment. -When you have a bit more freedom (3-4 weapon slots), consider taking a sniper rifle for extreme range, a full-auto assault rifle for medium to close range, and a launcher weapon for killing heavies and groups. -The Recurve Bow makes for a versatile weapon choice, provided you can handle the arrow distance dropoff. Regular arrows will kill most human enemies in one hit and explosive arrows can be carried instead of or alongside launchers. -Since most human enemies tend to gather in dirt and urban areas, weapons that deal with setting the environment on fire tend to be limited in use. Hitting enemies with these effects directly, however, is still lethal. -The Signature Weapons tend to be the absolute best of their class; the Bull shotgun can be obtained very early (10 relics) and is a very powerful weapon for hunting predators and pirates alike. 4) Stealth / Taking Outposts -Crouch all the time when going stealthy. This makes you harder to see and the detection meter will build up more slowly if you are in range, giving you more time to hide. -Sound Suppressor attachments make it harder for enemies to pinpoint where your shots came from but they are not totally silent. If other enemies see or hear your gunfire, they will come for you so move to another spot. -You can use "loud" weapons and still remain "stealthy". As long as the detection meter never fills all the way on a given enemy, you are still treated as if undetected. -Alarms at outposts are only triggered when enemies discover YOU. Rakyat warriors, wild animal attacks, explosions, and even the dead bodies of other enemies will not make them trigger alarms. -If an outpost alarm is triggered and you want/need the "undetected" bonus, just fast travel somewhere far from the location. At least 2 radio towers away. When you return later, the alarm status should be reset and you can try again. 5) Skills -Although playstyle will vary from one user to another, skills that provide bonuses to weapons tend to be less universally useful than those offering more health, mobility, or Takedowns. -Horticulture 101 is very useful, as plants remain a necessity throughout the entire game. This cuts down on having to "farm" for leaves. -More health and more powerful medicine should be considered a high priority. -The Takedown Drag can allow you to use Knife Throw or Grenade Takedowns at longer distances than normally possible; drag a body towards another enemy, turn around, and deliver! -If you land on an enemy and perform the Death From Above takedown, fall damage is negated. Daring players can use this to their advantage. ------------------------ (4.2) EXPERIENCE POINTS (XP) ------------------------- Experience Points - XP *Note: some pirates and privateers are worth more XP. This should be treated as a general estimate. Pirate kill: 10 XP Heavy pirate kill: 50 XP Privateer kill: 20 XP Heavy privateer kill: 100 XP Headshot kill: XP x2 Standard Takedown: XP x3 Death From Above/Below: XP x5 Dual Death From Above/Below: XP x7.5 per kill Gunslinger Takedown: XP x5 per handgun kill Knife Throw Takedown: XP x5 for knife throw Heavy Beatdown: XP x5 Grenade Takedown: XP x5 per grenade kill Chained Takedown: XP x10 for every takedown after the first Activate radio tower: 500 XP Liberate an Outpost: 500 XP -No alarms: 550 XP -Undetected: 1500 XP Collect a Relic: 250 XP Collect a Letter of the Lost: 500 XP Completing missions and supply drops also awards varying amounts of XP. -------------------------------- (4.3) SKILLS --------------------------------- Skills improve your abilities in exploration and combat.

strongholds for Vaas and Hoyt's minions. Liberate each outpost by killing all enemies inside. This removes most enemies from the region, makes the outpost a fast travel point, and unlocks new quests. If you are discovered by any enemies in the outpost, they will try to trigger the alarms. This will call for more enemies until you find and destroy the alarm boxes. If you can get to the alarms without being discovered, you can disable all alarms in the outpost so that even if you are discovered there will be no reinforcements. Liberating an outpost awards 500 XP. If you trigger no alarms but are detected, you will instead earn 550 XP. You will earn 1500 XP if you liberate an outpost without being detected at all. Note that you are only considered detected if enemies find you specifically. Wild animals, Rakyat warriors, and even the dead bodies of their own troops will not make them trigger alarms. If you are discovered but still want the undetected bonus, leave and continue to other locations for a while and come back later. Once you travel far enough, the status of the outpost will reset and you can try again. Below the number of enemies will be noted for each outpost. These numbers assume that you did not trigger any alarms. You are only required to kill the listed enemies and any reinforcements that appear when an alarm is triggered to liberate the outpost. Other enemies, such as those in patrol vehicles, are not required to kill. "Pirates" and "Privateers" should be assumed to be any normal enemy that you can kill with a takedown. "Heavies" can only be killed with a takedown if you have the Heavy Beatdown skill. "Attack Dogs" can't be killed with a takedown. If any caged animals are in the outpost, they will be noted. You can shoot the cages to free the animal(s). They may kill some enemies for you while they are loose, or allow you to slip in and kill enemies while they are distracted. A note on privateer outposts: although you can't freely walk around these locations even with the privateer outfit, you are only considered a tresspasser when you step into the highlighted red area. As long as you're outside of range the privateers will not react. You can use this to your advantage and tag enemies more easily because of this. Liberate 17 outposts to unlock the Shadow, a Handgun signature weapon. Liberate all 34 outposts for the achievement "Island Liberator". ----- Outposts - Radio Tower 1 region Valsa Docks (X:369.5, Y:782.2) 6 pirates + 1 Attack Dog Caged animal: Cassowary x1 Unlocks: Story Quest: Tagging the Past (X:396.6, Y:773.9) Wanted Dead (Valsa Docks) Wanted Dead (Valsa Docks) 2 Path of the Hunter (Valsa Docks) Island Racing: Surf and Turf (X:339.7, Y:753.8) Sharpshooter: Sniper Challenge (X:337.9, Y:756.2) Poker (X:394.3, Y:797.0) ----- Outposts - Radio Tower 2 region Amanaki Outpost (X:501.6, Y:738.5) 5 pirates + 1 attack dog *This outpost is required for Mission progress and cannot be missed.

Immediately west of where you start will be a broken wall linking to small buildings. The first tablet is inside of the building further away. The next is to the northeast, up a long flight of stairs leading into a temple. The interior will lead to an underwater room; the second tablet will be on the floor in somewhat plain view, so you don't need to explore the whole room underwater. The third tablet, in a building to the south, requires explosives to reach. Destroy the stone wall atop the vines on the west tower. Cross over to the east tower and step around the ladder to reach the last tablet inside. ----- Story Quests - Radio Tower 9 region Cargo Dump (X:704.7, Y:678.0) Required: Complete Mission 13 - Kicking The Hornet's Nest Reward: $500 Once More With Dignity (X:693.5, Y:625.7) Required: Hubert Shore Power outpost (X:658.1, Y:642.1) Reward: $500 + Nature Boy recipe ----- Story Quests - Radio Tower 10 region Dog Soldier (X:772.2, Y:656.8) Required: Nat's Repairs outpost (X:807.8, Y:654.3) Reward: $500 Notes: There will be ~12 dogs at the target area.

These require you to hunt an animal or a group of animals with a specific weapon type which, even if you don't already own one, will be given to you near the target location. Path of the Hunter quests reward you with money, access to weapons you may not have purchased yet, and some quests involve killing a rare animal. These rare animal skins are used for the final crafting upgrades for each category of equipment. You must kill the target animals with either the provided weapon, a weapon of the same type, or your melee. For hunts involving the bow, you must use normal arrows; no fire or explosive arrows. Bringing some Animal Repellent syringes is recommended for hunting predators, as this will allow you to easily walk up to the animal and knife it to death. For rare animal hunts, you are allowed to kill the common animals with other methods. You only need to satisfy the conditions when killing the rare animal. ----- Quick list: Rare hunt locations White Belly Tapir - Rust Yard (X:579.4, Y:752.0) Yellow Neck - AM12 (X:688.0, Y:786.5) One Horn - Camp Murder (X:745.9, Y:778.2) Black Panther - Orphan Point (X:401.1, Y:682.0) Golden Tiger - Mosquito Yard (X:424.9, Y:692.9) Blood Komodo - Cliffside Overlook (X:539.9, Y:682.8) Undying Bear - Cradle Gas (X:623.8, Y:700.9) Maneater Shark - Kell's Boat Repairs (X:729.8, Y:637.7) ----- Path of the Hunter - Radio Tower 1 region -Required outpost: Valsa Docks (X:369.5, Y:782.2) Sniper Rifle Hunt: Deer Reward: $200 Weapon provided: M-700 sniper rifle Target: 5 deer ----- Path of the Hunter - Radio Tower 2 region -Required outpost: Amanaki Outpost (X:501.6, Y:738.5) Shotgun Hunt: Rabid Dogs Reward: $175 Weapon provided: M133 shotgun Target: 5 rabid dogs -Required outpost: Welshore Wrecker's House (X:438.0, Y:795.0) Shotgun Hunt: Bears Reward: $225 Weapon provided: M133 shotgun Target: 2 bears ----- Path of the Hunter - Radio Tower 3 region -Required outpost: Rust Yard (X:579.4, Y:752.0) *RARE HUNT* Bow Hunt: White Belly Tapir Reward: $225 Weapon provided: Recurve Bow Target: White Belly Tapir ----- Path of the Hunter - Radio Tower 4 region -Required outpost: AM12 (X:688.0, Y:786.5) *RARE HUNT* Sniper Rifle Hunt: Yellow Neck Reward: $225 Weapon provided: M-700 sniper rifle Target: Yellow Neck RPG Hunt: Rabid Dogs Reward: $175 Weapon provided: RPG-7 launcher Target: 12 rabid dogs ----- Path of the Hunter - Radio Tower 5 region -Required outpost: Camp Murder (X:745.9, Y:778.2) *RARE HUNT* Shotgun Hunt: One Horn Reward: $200 Weapon provided: M133 shotgun Target: One Horn ----- Path of the Hunter - Radio Tower 6 region -Required outpost: Orphan Point (X:401.1, Y:682.0) Location: (X:352.9, Y:702.7) *RARE HUNT* Bow Hunt: Black Panther Reward: $250 Weapon provided: Recurve Bow Target: Black Panther ----- Path of the Hunter - Radio Tower 7 region -Required outpost: Mosquito Yard (X:424.9, Y:692.9) *RARE HUNT* Bow Hunt: Golden Tiger Reward: $250 Weapon provided: Recurve Bow Target: Golden Tiger ----- Path of the Hunter - Radio Tower 8 region -Required outpost: Cliffside Overlook (X:539.9, Y:682.8) *RARE HUNT* Bow Hunt: Blood Komodo Reward: $225 Weapon provided: Recurve Bow Target: Blood Komodo ----- Path of the Hunter - Radio Tower 9 region -Required outpost: Hubert Shore Power (X:658.1, Y:642.1) Bow Hunt: Leopards Reward: $250 Weapon provided: Recurve Bow Target: 4 leopards -Required outpost: Cradle Gas (X:623.8, Y:700.9) *RARE HUNT* Shotgun Hunt: Undying Bear Reward: $275 Weapon provided: M133 Target: Undying Bear ----- Path of the Hunter - Radio Tower 10 region -Required outpost: Kell's Boat Repairs (X:729.8, Y:637.7) *RARE HUNT* Bow Hunt: Maneater Shark Reward: $275 Weapon provided: Recurve Bow Target: Maneater Shark ----- Path of the Hunter - Radio Tower 11 region -Required outpost: Broken Neck Home (X:637.5, Y:530.6) SMG Hunt: Bears Reward: $275 Weapon provided: Skorpion SMG Target: 3 bears ----- Path of the Hunter - Radio Tower 12 region -Required outpost: North Krige Crest (X:279.0, Y:431.5) Shotgun Hunt: Bears Reward: $300 Weapon provided: M133 shotgun Target: 2 bears ----- Path of the Hunter - Radio Tower 13 region -Required outpost: Spine Ridge Site (X:336.2, Y:476.7) SMG Hunt: Tigers Reward: $300 Weapon provided: Skorpion SMG Target: 3 tigers ----- Path of the Hunter - Radio Tower 14 region -Required outpost: East Ridge Camp (X:443.0, Y:490.7) Flamethrower Hunt: Rabid Dogs Reward: $350 Weapon provided: Flamethrower Target: 8 rabid dogs ----- Path of the Hunter - Radio Tower 15 region -Required outpost: Satellite Communication Hub (X:524.7, Y:433.0) Sniper Rifle Hunt: Leopards Reward: $350 Weapon provided: M-700 sniper rifle Target: 3 leopards ----- Path of the Hunter - Radio Tower 16 region -Required outpost: Dry Palm Storage Depot (X:266.2, Y:334.3) Pistol Hunt: Bears Reward: $400 Weapon provided: 1911 handgun Target: 3 bears ----- Path of the Hunter - Radio Tower 17 region -Required outpost: Krige Valley River Fishing (X:321.5, Y:362.4) Flamethrower Hunt: Leopards Reward: $400 Weapon provided: Flamethrower Target: 4 leopards ----- Path of the Hunter - Radio Tower 18 region -Required outpost: Bridge Control (X:442.8, Y:384.3) *RARE HUNT* Machete Hunt: Albino Crocodile Reward: $450 Weapon provided: None Target: Albino Crocodile Machete Hunt: Bears Reward: $500 Weapon provided: None Target: 2 bears -Required outpost: Break Point Docks (X:477.2, Y:342.9) Bow Hunt: Komodo Dragons Reward: $450 Weapon provided: Recurve Bow Target: 4 komodo dragons ------------------------- (5.6) TRIALS OF THE RAKYAT -------------------------- Trials of the Rakyat are minigames; the goal is to kill as many enemies as possible within the time provided with the weapons provided to you.

The goal is to reach a certain location within the time limit. Supply drop quests award money and XP. Complete one Supply Drop for the "Road Trip" achievement. Island Racing, Knife Throwing, Sharpshooter Challenges, and Poker games are various ways of gambling your money, unlocked as you liberate outposts. =============================================================================== ============================= (6.0) COLLECTIBLES ============================== =============================================================================== Collectibles are hidden items scattered about the island. Collecting them awards a bit of XP and collecting enough will unlock achievements or bonuses. Purchasing the Item map for a region will mark the locations of collectibles on your map, provided you have also activated the radio tower for the region. Many of these items are fairly easy to find if you place a waypoint on the map marker; this guide will only go into further detail for collectibles with a misleading or unclear location. -------------------------------- (6.1) RELICS --------------------------------- Relics are found in a variety of locations; typically Spider relics will be well-hidden, Shark relics will be underwater, Boar relics will require explosives, and Heron relics will be in high places. Many relics defy their "rule", however. If you are looking for how to get a particular relic in a certain region, check the Radio Tower section; there are notes there as to which specific relics are in a region. Following this list numerically with the intent to collect in that order will send you back and forth across both islands, so don't do it. Every collected relic awards you with 250 XP. Collect 10 relics to unlock the Bull, a Shotgun signature weapon. Collect 20 relics to unlock the AMR, a Sniper Rifle signature weapon. Collect 30 relics to unlock the Untouchable syringe recipe. Collect 40 relics to unlock the Touch of Death syringe recipe. Collect 60 relics for the achievement "Archeology 101". There is no extra reward for collecting more than 60 relics. ----- Relic #1: Spider 1 (Dr. Earnhardt's Cave) Notes: You will not be able to access this relic until Mission 10: Keeping Busy and it will become unavailable after a certain point.

Use this to fly up to the the platform where it is kept; it will be right next to the cross on the hill. You could also wait until you have the wingsuit. You can also try sprint-jumping repeatedly up the "front" (littered with wooden planks), but this method can be inconsistant and is probably unintentional.

By default, you can hold one weapon, $1000, 16 loot items, and 3 syringes. ------------------------------- (7.1) SYRINGES -------------------------------- *Please note, durations listed below are base values. When you learn the skills Syringe Potency and Enhanced Syringe Potency, these values will be updated to reflect the upgraded duration on the in-game help menu. -Medical Medicine REQUIRES: Green Leaf x1 EFFECT: Heals 2 health bars. Skills can improve the effect. DURATION: N/A NOTES: Always useful. Carry plenty of these in your syringe kit and, if you can afford the space, keep some spare green leaves in your loot rucksack. Endorphin Boost REQUIRES: Green Leaf x2, Blue Leaf x1 EFFECT: Fully heal and gain a 4 extra health. Extra health does not regenerate. DURATION: N/A NOTES: Extra health is always welcome. The only thing keeping this from completely outclassing Medicine is the higher plant cost. Highly recommended. -Hunting Animal Repellent *Unlocked after Mission 5: Mushrooms in the Deep* REQUIRES: Amber Leaf x2 EFFECT: Non-aquatic animals will flee and not attack you for the duration. DURATION: 40 seconds NOTES: You can use this to ward off attacks from dangerous predators, or use it to hunt them. While the repellent is active, you can easily walk up to most predators and use your melee without fear. Great to have for rare Path of the Hunter animals. Hunter's Instinct REQUIRES: Amber Leaf x1 EFFECT: Animals nearby can be seen through walls and surfaces. Herbivore animals don't run when approached. DURATION: 40 seconds NOTES: This can be helpful if you can't find animals in deep bushes with your camera. For Path of the Hunter quests, this can also help find hard-to-see animals in tall grass. Be aware that while herbivores won't run on approach, attacking will still cause them to run away. Deadly Hunter *Unlocked after Mission 7: Playing the Spoiler* REQUIRES: Amber Leaf x2, Crimson Leaf x1 EFFECT: Deal more damage to animals. DURATION: 20 seconds NOTES: For hunting purposes, this is somewhat inferior to Animal Repellent due to both the shorter effect duration and Repellent's safety benefits. -Combat Enhanced Perception REQUIRES: Crimson Leaf x1 EFFECT: Enemies within a certain range can be seen through walls, even if untagged. Explosions can also be seen through walls. DURATION: 40 seconds NOTES: Limited use in the jungle due to just having the camera, but using one as you begin with an outpost or more urban locations is helpful until you can get visual confirmation and tag enemies. Fireproof REQUIRES: Crimson Leaf x2 EFFECT: Eliminates burn damage. DURATION: 20 seconds NOTES: If you play with fire or see yourself getting burned often, it can be helpful to carry 1 or 2 of these. Sharpshooter *Unlocked after Mission 14: A Man Named Hoyt* REQUIRES: Crimson Leaf x2, Amber Leaf x1 EFFECT: Increased hipfire accuracy. DURATION: 20 seconds NOTES: Limited use; situations where you need to hipfire should not be common. -Exploration Nature Boy *Unlocked after Story Quest: Once More With Dignity* REQUIRES: Blue Leaf x1 EFFECT: Highlights plants through walls. DURATION: 40 seconds NOTES: This is of limited use; nearby plants are already marked on the minimap. Deep Dive *Unlocked after Mission 9: Island Port Hotel* REQUIRES: Blue Leaf x2, Green Leaf x1 EFFECT: Hold breath indefinitely underwater. DURATION: 40 seconds NOTES: Helpful until you get the Deep Breath skill, and even afterwards it can take some of the stress out of long underwater journeys. Sprint Burst *Unlocked after Mission 15: Saving Oliver* REQUIRES: Blue Leaf x2 EFFECT: Sprint and swim twice as fast as usual. DURATION: 20 seconds NOTES: Helpful for long overland trips when vehicles are unavailable. -Special Untouchable *Unlocked by collecting 30 relics* REQUIRES: White Leaf x2, Green Leaf x5, Blue Leaf x5 EFFECT: Immune to all damage. Can still die from drowning or other forms of instant death. DURATION: 20 seconds NOTES: The usefulness of this effect should be obvious in heated firefights. With the Horticulture 101 skill, it's not too hard to fulfill the plant cost. Touch of Death *Unlocked by collecting 40 relics* REQUIRES: White Leaf x2, Crimson Leaf x5, Amber Leaf x5 EFFECT: All of your attacks become instant kills. Does not apply to animals. DURATION: 20 seconds NOTES: This is only really useful if you are fighting multiple heavies in quick succession; most other enemies do not have enough health to warrant using this. Even for heavies it's overkill unless you hate using explosive weaponry. ------------------------------- (7.2) EQUIPMENT ------------------------------- Crafting better equipment allows you to hold more weapons, money, loot, ammo, and syringes. Craft the first item of each category to gain access to the next. ----- Quick list: total animal skins necessary to craft all equipment/ammo pouches: -Bear x4 -Boar x6 -Buffalo x2 -Cassowary x2 -Deer x5 -Dingo x8 -Dog x5 -Goat x6 -Komodo Dragon x5 -Leopard x4 -Pig x2 -Shark x4 -Tapir x4 -Tiger x5 ----- -Weapon Holsters Simple Holster REQUIRES: Goat Skin x1 EFFECT: Carry 2 weapons Rugged Holster REQUIRES: Deer Hide x2 EFFECT: Carry 3 weapons Heavy Duty Holster REQUIRES: Shark Skin x2 EFFECT: Carry 4 weapons ----- -Wallets Simple Wallet REQUIRES: Pig Hide x1 EFFECT: Carry up to $2000 Rugged Wallet REQUIRES: Cassowary Leather x2 EFFECT: Carry up to $4000 Heavy Duty Wallet REQUIRES: Shark Skin x2 EFFECT: Carry up to $6000 Extended Wallet REQUIRES: One Horn Hide (Rare hunt) EFFECT: Carry up to $10000 ----- -Loot Rucksacks Simple Rucksack REQUIRES: Boar Hide x2 EFFECT: Carry up to 32 loot items Rugged Rucksack REQUIRES: Tapir Hide x2 EFFECT: Carry up to 48 loot items Heavy Duty Rucksack REQUIRES: Dingo Pelt x4 EFFECT: Carry up to 64 loot items Extended Rucksack REQUIRES: Undying Bear Leather (Rare hunt) EFFECT: Carry up to 96 loot items ----- -Syringe Kit Simple Syringe Kit REQUIRES: Pig Hide x1 EFFECT: Carry up to 5 syringes Rugged Syringe Kit REQUIRES: Dog Skin x3 EFFECT: Carry up to 7 syringes Heavy Duty Syringe Kit REQUIRES: Leopard Skin x2 EFFECT: Carry up to 9 syringes Extended Syringe Kit REQUIRES: Black Panther Leather (Rare hunt) EFFECT: Carry up to 12 syringes ----- AMMO *For reference, these are the default amounts for each type of spare ammo: 24 Handgun rounds 40 SMG rounds 6 Shotgun rounds 60 Assault Rifle rounds 5 Sniper Rifle rounds 80 LMG rounds 3 RPG-7 rockets 6 GL-94 rounds 3 Flare Gun rounds 5 Arrows 100 Flamethrower Fuel 2 Grenades 2 Molotovs 2 C4 + Remote 2 Mines ----- -Ammo Pouches Simple Ammo Pouch REQUIRES: Boar Hide x2 EFFECT: Spare ammo count for the following weapons increases: 32 Handgun rounds 80 SMG rounds 18 Shotgun shells 120 Assault Rifle rounds 10 Sniper Rifle rounds 160 LMG rounds Rugged Ammo Pouch REQUIRES: Buffalo Hide x2 EFFECT: Spare ammo count for the following weapons increases: 48 Handgun rounds 120 SMG rounds 24 Shotgun shells 150 Assault Rifle rounds 15 Sniper Rifle rounds 240 LMG rounds Heavy Duty Ammo Pouch REQUIRES: Tiger Skin x2 EFFECT: Spare ammo count for the following weapons increases: 72 Handgun rounds 160 SMG rounds 36 Shotgun shells 180 Assault Rifle rounds 20 Sniper Rifle rounds 320 LMG rounds Extended Ammo Pouch REQUIRES: Golden Tiger Leather (Rare hunt) EFFECT: Spare ammo count for the following weapons increases: 120Handgun rounds 240 SMG rounds 50 Shotgun shells 300 Assault Rifle rounds 30 Sniper Rifle rounds 400 LMG rounds ----- -Throwable Packs Simple Grenade Pouch REQUIRES: Goat Skin x2 EFFECT: Carry up to 4 grenades + 4 molotovs Rugged Grenade Pouch REQUIRES: Deer Hide x2 EFFECT: Carry up to 6 grenades + 6 molotovs Heavy Duty Grenade Pouch REQUIRES: Komodo Dragon Skin x3 EFFECT: Carry up to 8 grenades + 8 molotovs Extended Grenade Pouch REQUIRES: Blood Komodo Leather (Rare hunt) EFFECT: Carry up to 12 grenades + 12 molotovs ----- -Munition Pouches Simple Munitions Pouch REQUIRES: Goat Skin x2 EFFECT: Carry up to 3 C4 + 3 mines Rugged Munitions Pouch REQUIRES: Leopard Skin x2 EFFECT: Carry up to 4 C4 + 4 mines Heavy Duty Munitions Pouch REQUIRES: Bear Skin x2 EFFECT: Carry up to 5 C4 + 5 mines Extended Munitions Pouch REQUIRES: White Belly Tapir Leather (Rare hunt) EFFECT: Carry up to 6 C4 + 6 mines ----- -Flamethrower Fuel Slings Simple Fuel Sling REQUIRES: Dog Skin x2 EFFECT: Carry up to 200 flamethrower fuel.

Special arrows consume regular arrows when fired, so 10 normal + 10 special is 20 arrows, not 10 with 10 ADDITIONAL specials. All quivers can only hold 10 specials. Simple Arrow Quiver REQUIRES: Goat Skin x1 EFFECT: Carry 10 arrows Rugged Arrow Quiver REQUIRES: Tapir Hide x2 EFFECT: Carry 15 arrows Heavy Duty Quiver REQUIRES: Bear Skin x2 EFFECT: Carry 20 arrows Extended Arrow Quiver REQUIRES: Maneater Shark Skin (Rare hunt) EFFECT: Carry 30 arrows -Special Arrows Explosive Arrow *Unlocked after Mission 13: Kicking The Hornet's Nest REQUIRES: Grenade x1 EFFECT: Arrows explode on impact. NOTES: If you like explosives, consider taking a bow once you get this recipe. If you make the arrows and restock on ammo, it's essentially like carrying an extra 10 grenades. Fire Arrow *Unlocked after Mission 10: Keeping Busy REQUIRES: Molotov x1 EFFECT: Arrows set fire to enemies and the environment on impact. NOTES: A silent, distant alternative that has some advantages over other incendiary weapons like the Flamethrower or Flare Gun. A decent choice until Explosive Arrows are available. ---------------------------- (7.3) WEAPONS / SHOPS ---------------------------- Stores can be accessed via shopkeepers around the island or self-serve machines inside of outposts and other safehouses.
