General Tips
- Just like Far Cry 3, one of the best activities in Far Cry 4 is capturing outposts. If you're trying to do so stealthily, don't worry if you fail. You can repeat any outpost mission in the relevant camp.
- When approaching outposts, release animals in the area if you can and let them do the work before you pick off the rest of the enemies.
- If you want to get around Kryat quickly, using Microlight Choppers is your best bet. They provide direct transport from one area to a next, which is especially useful for outposts.
- Tag enemies with your camera before you take on large groups.
- Bows are a great way to take out enemies stealthily.
- Upgrade your health to make life easier. Yes, you have syringes, but increased max health proves more useful than constant healing.
- Lots of games include hunting, but Far Cry 4 is one of the few in that emphasizes its importance. You need animals skins to craft new items, so be sure to hunt some animals on your way through Kryat.
- If you played Far Cry 3 or any recent Ubisoft game, you know you want to uncover the map as fast as possible. In Far Cry 4, this requires climbing radio towers to unlock new icons on the map. Make that a key priority when you first begin the game.
- Don't kill elephants. Instead, ride them when you complete the requisite quest to unlock that skill. Even though they're slowing than vehicles, they're a lot of fun to ride.
- The weapon that you use to inflict initial damage on an animal you are hunting will determine what sort of reward you receive upon killing it. Therefore, it's a good idea to start with a standard shot if you want a nice skin, even if you finish off the critter using a grenade.
- Start a new game. After the first cutscene, when you are instructed to explore the mansion, remain where you are for approximately 10 minutes. An alternate ending should then play out for you.
- After completing the game you will be allowed to explore Kyrat once more to complete the remainder of the content, this will also unlock an optional scene that varies according to who you sided with near the game's ending. If you were loyal to Amita, you can enter Tithra for a scene. If you sided with Sabal, return to the Temple for a scene.
