-Info- What rubric is this?
The rubric “for the perfectionist” is my rubric that I came up with in 2020, it means completing the game 100%, no, no, no not the 100% in the statistic.

============(Difficulty)===========
-Difficulty (Hard)-
Let's start with the difficulty. True extremists and perfectionists are obliged to complete this game on the hardest difficulty level. The thing is, the hardest difficulty is actually easy. Ubisoft messed up with the game by making it possible for you to have all the money in the world at the beginning, and because of that, you can get all the cool weapons. Additionally, I recommend playing the additional content in co-op with a friend to make it more fun, but we'll get back to that later.

==============(Quest)============
-Quest- Campaign mission
The storyline of the game is very well-developed. The missions are interesting and memorable; however, let's talk about two things: story choices and the relationship between the story and side quests.

Choices

During the game, you'll encounter several choices between Amita and Sabal. Personally, I completed each of their missions separately. I'm not forcing anyone to do this, even within the context of this guide. However, if you want to complete the missions from both perspectives, do the following:

Go to the folder with the Ubisoft launcher, then navigate to the "savegames" folder, then the "[set of numbers]" folder, and finally the "971" folder. Inside, you will find four files. Copy them and save them somewhere else. Then complete the mission for one of the leaders, and after that, put the saved files back into the same folder. VoilĂ , you can now complete the game for both leaders.

Relationship between the story and side quests

Fortunately, in Far Cry 4, no activities disappear as you progress through the storyline; in fact, more activities are added! I recommend playing through most of the main storyline until the final choice between endings. After that, almost all side quests on the map will be available, and you can complete them as you wish. Once you have cleared the entire map, which takes about 200 hours of gameplay, you can use the method mentioned above to save your progress before choosing between killing Amita or Sabal, allowing you to experience both endings.

This method of playing is not the best, as you might quickly get bored with the game. I recommend mixing the main storyline with side quests so you don’t get tired of the game. For example, you could complete the main story missions on the first island and clear it, then move on to the second island and do the same, or try another approach that suits you.

-Quest- Longinus mission
«You must strive to be a lion, not a lamb. And a lion needs teeth.»

Gakumba's Longinus' missions are interesting because they unlock the Himalayas for you. Otherwise, his missions are pretty basic, involving tracking enemies and retrieving diamonds. You can't complete all his missions at once, as more of them only appear when you move to the north. Nonetheless, I strongly recommend completing his missions as quickly as possible to get an excellent RPG with a homing sight!

By the way, his missions are the type that unlock notes in the game after completion. For example, after the "Sermon on the Mount" mission, the "Many Thanks" note appears in the Chal Jama Monastery. You can read more about the features of the notes below.

"We start getting smarter when others start getting dumber."

-Quest- Shangri-La missions
ENTER THE ENCHANTING WORLD OF SHANGRI-LA, WHERE EVERY VIEW IS A MASTERPIECE OF ART. I absolutely love wandering around Shangri-La during these missions and admiring the scenery. If you're interested, you can check out my profile to see the most beautiful screenshots from Shangri-La.

As for the missions themselves, they're not difficult. Make frequent use of the tiger and time-slowing abilities, and explore the world to find upgrades for Kalinag and increase his health to defeat the final boss.

-Quest- Yogi & Reggie missions
OH YEAH, THESE ARE MY FAVORITE MISSIONS WHERE YOU CAN EXPERIENCE WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE HIGH. ONE OF THE MOST FUN MISSIONS IN THE FAR CRY SERIES!

Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah, Ohm namah Shivayah,

-Quest- Hurk missions
Good old Hurk is back in the game, no matter how double-edged that sounds. Honestly, he couldn’t give a damn about who he’s fighting for; he’s just in it for the fun. So, we need to help him find a monkey statue.

The first mission will appear after completing the "Sermon on The Mount" quest. The rest will be available after unlocking the northern part of Kyrat. Nothing too difficult, so go on—get out there and get it done!

-Quest- Story Quest
One of the main downsides of this installment is the lack of decent storyline side quests. There are only two in the game, and a third one is available with the purchase of the season pass. All of them take place in the Himalayas and are quite repetitive. I don’t understand why the developers decided to replace them with tedious, routine quests; this will always be a mystery to me.

There's not much else to say here, except for noting the notes in the Himalayas that count towards your statistics and that cannot be read honestly after completing the missions. More details about this can be found below in the section on notes.

-Quest- Secondary quests
How I hate this damn crap and these awful routine quests. It's the worst thing Ubisoft could have done with their games. Instead of diversifying the world and giving players interesting interactions with it, they added dumb, repetitive quests where the only difference is the mission location and the NPC's starting dialogue.

All I can wish you is patience, and I also recommend completing these missions with a friend in co-op, as the game allows it. Overall, these missions are easy.

Oh, and I almost forgot to mention, try to complete the missions without any casualties, according to the perfectionist code)))

-Quest- Activities
By activities, I mean "Kyrati Films," "Pagan's Wrath," "Royal Cargo Trucks Destroyed," "Royal Cargo Trucks Hijacked," and "Retaliation Parties Defeated." Of course, as perfectionists, we will aim to complete the Kyrati Films with a gold rating. In fact, it's quite easy; I almost always managed to do it on the first try.

I also recommend completing the Kyrati Films immediately after capturing an outpost because the developers didn't mark completed versus uncompleted films, so if you do them randomly, you might forget which ones you’ve completed and which you haven’t.

Also, don’t forget about the race in "Khilana Bazaar," which only appears after completing certain storyline missions!

And lastly, since the game was made for 7th-generation consoles that supported only 30 fps, you won’t be able to complete one of the races with a gold rating without some hassle. I’ll leave a video below detailing how to complete it.

===========(Collectibles)==========
-Collectibles- Propaganda posters
Let's move on to the most boring content from the "masterpiece" Ubisoft, who can't think of anything more interesting than destroying posters!!!

So, imagine there are two pills in front of you: a red one and a blue one.
  1. Red - burn the poster.
  2. Blue - tear it down.
Yes, you can either burn the poster or tear it down, but it won't change the overall amount of this awful collecting task. You still need to tear down 120 of them.

My only advice is to mark the posters to quickly locate where they are, as sometimes they can be hard to spot due to their height.
-Collectibles- Lost letter
This is one of my favorite collection tasks. The thing is, all 20 of these notes tell the story of a couple where the husband went to serve in Kyrat and gradually fell in love with the local religion.

I don't want to spoil anything, but I recommend collecting all the notes first and then reading them all together, as you might collect them in a different order and get confused about the events.
-Collectibles- Mani wheels
All you need to do is spin these wheels 40 times. Strange, of course, but that's the fate of someone who intends to complete this game as a perfectionist.
-Collectibles- Mohan Ghale's Journals
It's the same here as with the lost letters. I recommend collecting them all first and then reading them to get the full picture of how the war in Kyrat began and what happened to Ajay's mother. The downside, of course, is that the last journal is located right in Pagan Min's mansion, which you'll only reach at the end, but the choice is yours.
-Collectibles- Masks of Yalung
Oh yeah, now this is a really cool collection task. That's because collecting all of Yalung's masks at least rewards you with an awesome prize—unlimited Guns for Hire, allowing you to call upon a warrior from the Golden Path for help.

Plus, when you approach one of these masks, a cool tune plays!
-Collectibles- Treasures
Now let's see how much of a perfectionist you really are. Try to collect all the treasures in this game—yes, it's difficult because there are over 1,000 of them. But the hardest part isn't the sheer number; it's that Ubisoft can be quite tricky, and they don’t know how to properly test their games and content. Because of this, some treasures are located in inaccessible areas, while others are only available in locations that are accessible for a limited time.

Limited time location

Let's start with the story locations. There are plenty of them in the game, so remember this important rule: as soon as you start a mission and enter a specific location, collect the treasures there immediately, because there’s a chance you won’t be able to return to that location. For example, you’ll never return to the Himalayas after completing certain missions. So, as soon as you appear in the Himalayas, collect all the treasures you see on the radar—fortunately, they’re easy to find since they’re all along the path. If you can't reach them, mark the location on your map, and you'll be able to see where the specific treasure is.

Inaccessible areas

Now, there are also locations in this game that are impossible to access, either through the story or specific missions. One such location is Royal Vault III. Luckily, I’ll leave you a video tutorial on how to get to this location and collect the coveted treasure along with the note.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzdOchMnrpA

However, there’s one catch: after you get there, you won’t be able to get out or save the game. So, I recommend shooting, throwing grenades, jumping around, and waiting until the save option appears in the menu, then restart the game.
-Collectibles- Notes
And now we come to the most challenging, yet no less interesting part—collecting the notes. The problem is that neither the internet nor the game itself provides an exact total number of notes. I’ve seen a screenshot from a player who collected 375 notes. I managed to collect 361 notes, but couldn’t find the rest despite trying very hard to collect everything everywhere. Unfortunately, collecting all the notes is incredibly rare, and even with my extensive experience in completing games, I couldn’t find them all. But I can give you some advice on how to find as many notes as possible in the game.

  1. First, enable item highlighting in the interface settings so that you can immediately spot a note. Unlike in Far Cry 5, notes aren’t highlighted with a marker in this game.

  2. Second, whenever you enter a new location, use the Far Cry wiki on Fandom. Be sure to use the Russian wiki, not the English one. The English wiki doesn’t have articles about the notes, but the Russian wiki does. Just look up the location name in English, go to the site, enter the name in the search bar, and click on the first article—it’ll be the location you need. Then, use a translator and scroll down to see a list of items in that location, including the notes. If you can’t find a note in that location but the wiki says it’s there, click on the note’s name, and it will take you to an article with detailed information on where it’s located.

    https://farcry.fandom.com/ru/wiki/Far_Cry_Wiki

  3. Third, some notes only appear after completing certain missions. So, if the wiki says a note should be there but it isn’t, progress further in the story and then return; it should appear.

  4. Fourth, there are notes that appear during missions but disappear after the mission ends. These include most of Yogi and Reggie’s missions, especially the ones where they give you something to smoke. After that, you wake up in an unknown place, and usually, there’s a note nearby. If you can’t find the note, just search the mission’s name on the wiki in English and find information about that specific note.

  5. Fifth, be careful with missions in the Himalayas, as there are many notes there too. Look for them on the wiki as well.

In general, all the information about the notes can be found on the wiki.

======(Golden Path liberation)=======
-Liberation- Outposts
So, I have some bad news... and bad news. Which one should I start with? The bad news? No, I'll start with the bad news.

The bad news is that in this game, at the outposts, there's something called "gold completion," which we need for our perfectionism. And as for the next bit of bad news, you’ll find out a little further down.

Info about Outposts

Let's start with what makes the outposts different from the previous game. Overall, not much. It's still the same good old outpost capture that was in the previous games of the series. The only difference is that there are more weapons, but nothing else really new.

Now, let's get to the juicy part. In the game, there's a medal system: bronze, silver, and gold. And as perfectionists, we are compelled to aim for that gold. You might wonder why I have so many hours in the game—well, it's because of something you’re not required to do... but for true perfectionism, it’s worth doing.

Gold Medal Guide

How can I explain this in a simple way? Earning a gold medal in the game is easy—you just have to complete the outpost stealthily, without being detected, and kill all enemies. But getting the highest score is another story
 Points are awarded for kills, with a takedown earning about 30 points (if I'm not mistaken), and the others giving either 50 or 60 points. So, I went through every outpost using only takedown, which give more points. This meant I constantly had to perform takedown from above or throw knife takedown! IT'S A NIGHTMARE! Some outposts were relatively manageable, but some took me 2-3 hours—real 2-3 hours. Because there are dogs you can’t kill quickly, and they can't be hidden anywhere.

So, if you decide to take on this challenge and try to complete all the outposts this way to call yourself a true perfectionist, here’s my advice:

You need to lure the dogs away with stones. Do this several times to lead them as far as possible, because you can't move their bodies, and the guards will easily spot them and start searching for you. Best of luck!

-Liberation- Fortress
Well, Well, Well, Well, Well, Well, Well, Well, Well, Well, Well, Well, Well, Well, Well, Well, Well, Well, Well, Well, Well, Well, Well, Well, Well, Well, Well, Well, Well, Well, Well, Well, Well, Well Just thinking about it makes me want to cry. I don’t think I need to explain that it's basically the same outpost, just a bit bigger. And yes, there are still those gold medals we’re after. Once again, I was racking up the highest possible score. If, like me, you're aiming to become a insane perfectionist, I just want to wish you luck with Noore fort. That one will only let you use aerial kills to maximize your score, which is a huge pain since the surroundings make it tough to pull off. The other forts, though, are easy.







-Liberation- Bell towers
The same towers from Far Cry 3, just with a different name. I recommend unlocking them as regions—open one, clear out the territory it reveals, then move on to the next one, and keep going until you've unlocked them all! :)

-Liberation- Karma
This feature in the series was later removed. The maximum karma level is 8. Honestly, there’s no need to stress over it. Just help the Golden Path if you see them in skirmishes, or complete other karma-boosting activities when you come across them. Even if you’re just following the main story, I’m sure you’ll reach the maximum karma level—especially since there’s a skill that increases karma point gains.

Once you reach max karma, you’ll get store discounts and access to more weapons!









-Liberation- Skills
Just like with karma, you’ll be able to unlock all the skills without much hassle. Just progress through the story, complete missions, unlock activities, and take down enemies, and you’ll earn plenty of points.

The only advice I might give is to focus on levelling up the takedown skill tree first. This way, when capturing an outpost, you’ll be able to use any takedown move without any issues.

P:S I don't have any suitable pictures or screenshots for this section
-Liberation- Equipment
It's best to craft your equipment as quickly as possible since it’s very important. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to craft all the gear right from the start, even if you run around hunting all the animals. You need unique skins to craft gear at the final level 4, and those skins can only be obtained during the "Fashion Week of Kirat" missions from Mumu Shifona.

Try to craft as many items as you can from the beginning; trust me, it makes the game much easier!


-Liberation- Weapons
There are a total of 52 types of weapons, and some of them can be upgraded. The protagonist can carry up to four weapons at a time, which is why the gear I mentioned earlier is so important.

One notable thing about this installment is that nearly half of the weapons can be bought right at the start of the game. However, you can’t buy everything right away. You’ll get half of them in the first part of the story, and the rest only after you reach the northern edge of Kyrat.


Some weapons are unlocked after specific missions; I don’t remember all of them, but the homing grenade launcher and harpoon gun are only available after completing all the missions for Hurk and Longinus.

And don’t forget about the skins for every weapon! As perfectionists, we need to buy up the entire store, including all skins. Like in Far Cry 3, you’ll end up hoping there’s plenty to buy because, after you clear half the map, your wallet will be full, and the only way to empty it is through purchases. You might ask, “What’s the problem? Tons of money, no worries, right?” Wrong! The issue is that if your wallet is full, you can’t loot treasures, so sometimes it’s worth spending as much as possible.

Here’s a tip: if you’ve bought everything but still have plenty of cash, take a machine gun and shoot until you run out of ammo, then head to the store and stock up! It’s a way to burn through money.

And here’s a guide to help you figure out which weapons are the best and how to use them effectively.

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=472604382
-Liberation- Transport
There’s a bit more variety in vehicles here than in Far Cry 3. But getting 100% by trying them all out is still just as easy. You don’t even need to put much effort into it!

First, you’ll drive about half of them during races in Kyrat. Second, just hop into any random new vehicle you see and take it for a spin.

And don’t forget about boats and the helicopter! And just in case, give the glider a try too :)

=======(Secondary Activities)=======
-Activities- Arena Rank
Sound the horns! We’re moving on to one of the most interesting yet, in some ways, tedious activities in the game. There’s an arena where you can level up your rank. The game has a total of 15 ranks. You’ll need at least rank 10 to unlock the top-tier weapon, the "Bushman." But we’re not quitters—we have to go all the way to max out at level 15 for the sake of our inner perfectionist.

Below, I’ll list all the key points you’ll need for this mini-adventure.

Ranks
As I mentioned, there are 15 ranks in the game:
  1. Fresh Meat
  2. Scavenger
  3. Brawler
  4. Hunter
  5. Apprentice
  6. Contender
  7. Candidate
  8. Rival
  9. Competitor
  10. Fighter
  11. Warrior
  12. Gladiator
  13. Chosen of Kira
  14. Kyrat Master
  15. Arena Master

Matches

There're three types of matches:

Endless: Similar to Battle, but the waves are endless. Every 10 rounds, a special wave will be sent, consisting of Heavy or Flamer enemies, or rare animals. It ends when Ajay is killed.
Battle: Ajay enters the arena with a basic starting weapon, and must scavenge enemy weapons to survive 5 rounds of increasingly difficult opposition. He wins if he survives all 5 rounds.
Weapon Challenges: Ajay is forced to use a single weapon of his choice, and must survive 5 rounds only using that weapon, or takedowns. A minimum of 3 stars is needed to pass, while he can earn up to 5.

Let’s break down each of these modes.

Endless Mode

The name says it all: an endless mode where you play until you die. I wouldn’t recommend using it to farm rank points, as you’ll spend a lot of time with little payoff.

Battle Mode

This is the mode we’ll need. This is where I farmed points for my rank, but you should only use it near the end, once you’ve completed all the challenges and need just a few more points to reach the final rank.

Weapon Challenges

These are what you’ll need to start with, but I’ll cover them in the next section! Complete these first, then move on to "Battle Mode." This way, you’ll complete the challenges and reach the maximum rank all at once.

Turn on the battle music, and let’s dive into farming points and completing challenges!

-Activities- Weapon Challenges
Challenges are the best way to farm points for leveling up. You’ll need to earn 5 stars and as many points as possible. Rivals are divided into 4 teams fighting against each other (you can tell them apart by their uniform colors), while Ajay fights against everyone. You’ll also face animal opponents: wild dogs, boars, tigers, honey badgers, leopards, bears, rhinos, and elephants.

This shouldn’t be too difficult—just focus on racking up as many kills as possible. I never figured out the exact points needed for 5 stars, but I only had to replay a challenge twice the entire time.

Note: You won’t be able to complete all the challenges right away, as some weapons will be locked.

Tip: Try spreading out the challenges over different periods of the game to keep things from getting repetitive.

-Activities- Ghale Homestead
Even though fully upgrading the Ghale Homestead isn’t required for 100% completion, as perfectionists, we’re definitely doing it.

To fully furnish the homestead, you’ll need 2,100,000 rupees. That’s not much, considering how easily money is earned in this game. Trust me, as someone who’s done it all, you’ll be grateful for any items you can buy. There’s plenty of treasure around, and by the time you collect it all, you’ll have more money than Kyrat’s entire GDP. So, just check in at Ajay’s place periodically, as these upgrades are also useful!



-Activities- King Min's Kyrat Entries
The King Min’s Kyrat collection is available in the “Collection” menu. It can hold up to 82 entries, which gradually fill up as you progress through the game—meeting new characters, visiting new locations, and collecting skins from new animals.

Personally, I gathered almost all entries except for Japalura. Below, I’ll leave a few links to sources where you can check which entries you may have missed, along with any missing animals and the most common issues players encounter.

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/app/298110/discussions/0/624076027751047520/
-Activities- Locations
Would you say that 240 locations are a lot? Yes, they are. But each location has either a treasure or some collectible item. So, as you gather various items, you’ll end up unlocking all the locations. Except for one...

I present to you the spot known as Drunk Kanak's Truck! Ubisoft isn’t exactly known for rigorous game testing, but thankfully, the game’s fan community found a way to unlock this location. I’ll leave a detailed video guide below to show you how to access it.

=============(Other)=============
-Other- Endings
The game has four possible endings, though I recommend unlocking only three of them:
  1. Kill Pagan Min
  2. Spare Pagan Min
  3. Stay with Pagan Min (secret ending)
There’s also an additional one:

  • Spare Pagan Min, then shoot down his helicopter.
You don’t need to play through the game multiple times; just back up your save files before the final mission, then reload them to try for a different ending. The save file path is usually something like your_drive:\Ubisoft Game Launcher\savegames\2382062a-6a64-476f-8513-a0e2d2c5449a\971, though it may vary slightly.

For more detailed information about the endings, use this article.
https://www.ign.com/wikis/far-cry-4/Story_Endings

-Other- Achievements
Since Ubisoft is selfish, there are no achievements for this game on Steam. I would have given up on achievements altogether if they were in something like the Epic Games Launcher, but they’re right in front of us in the Ubisoft Launcher, through which we start the game. So we have to unlock all of them.

Among these achievements are:

  • 50 story-related ones, including:
    • 4 online achievements

  • 7 from the "Valley of the Yeti" DLC.
For assistance, I recommend using the best site, "TrueAchievements."
https://www.trueachievements.com/game/Far-Cry-4/achievements

Renaissance Man
The hardest achievement isn’t necessarily difficult; it’s just that after so many years, no one plays the multiplayer games anymore. But luckily, you have me! I’m always here to help solve problems. No, don’t try to persuade me to play with you, but I will share with you a Discord server where you can get help with the achievement.

https://discord.gg/ShzCjd3msY


-Other- Co-op
I just recommend that you try the multiplayer in this game. It's definitely much more interesting to explore the world and complete side quests with a friend. In any case, for the previous section on "achievements," you'll need to give it a try! Good luck...
=============(DLC)==============
-DLC- Escape from Durgesh
For many, the DLC is terrible. However, that's only what those say who think that expansions for a game must necessarily have a storyline like the "Valley of the Yeti." An expansion is additional content for the game that can be varied regardless of the original game. This DLC is designed for people who would like to try something hardcore.

I’ll give you some tips for passing the game. First, a brief summary: after your death, all progress resets, BUT weapons, skills, and items are saved.

Follow this plan:

  1. Clear out outposts several times to earn skill points and upgrade all branches.
  2. Find as much good weaponry as possible (I'll attach a video below).
  3. Free all outposts to gather as many weapons as you can.
  4. Complete all side missions that unlock bonuses at the end.
  5. Head to the starting point.

This will take about an hour; it certainly took me longer because I was searching for information, but I'm here to save you time. I'll attach a few useful videos below.

-DLC- Valley of the Yeti
Let’s talk about Valley of the Yeti—this is a full DLC with its own separate content. So, let’s briefly go over a few things you need to do. It took me about 2-3 hours.

Story Missions

These are straightforward, but I recommend completing the side missions first to unlock all the base’s weaponry.

Side Missions
The side missions in this DLC specifically upgrade your base, so it’s best to do them first. They’re very easy and there aren’t many of them!

Locations


I suggest unlocking these after completing the story, as you’ll receive a helicopter as a reward. This will allow you to explore the world in more detail.




In addition, I’ll provide you with a useful resource for completing the game, such as interactive map.

-End- Report
Here we are at the end; this was the hardest guide to write, in my opinion. The game is just too tedious and too boring for a full playthrough, but I did it. I did it for you, so you can be sure I actually completed the entire game myself.

-End- So what is this guide for?
Let me share a little story about myself.

I love diving into games and completing them 100%, exploring every tiny detail. My passion is finishing all the content a game has to offer. You might notice that I’ve clocked 100 hours in Far Cry 1, 110 hours in Far Cry 2, 165 hours in Far Cry 3, 104 hours in Far Cry Blood Dragon, and a whopping 289 hours in Far Cry 4. So, who am I?

I have a real passion for tackling every bit of content a game throws at me. Sometimes, it backfires, and I end up with gaming burnout. This guide is for people like me—those who want to complete absolutely everything in a game. You can pop in here anytime, read some tips, and get advice on any piece of content in the game. And if something’s missing? Just ask me, and I’ll happily help! :)

Plus, who knows—maybe with guides like this, I’ll inspire someone to dive into this kind of perfectionist playstyle! 😄
-End- Done!
Now you are a real arena master learned the true definition of insanity! If you have any questions, I will be happy to answer. If you find mistakes in my guide, please write, because I am Ukrainian and do not speak English perfectly.
I also want to ask you to give me a like because I tried hard!

Well, in the meantime, like and take care of yourself!

Yes, it very easy to do, it's just takes like 30mins to 1 hour

I think I may have one of the fewest fully completed far cry 4 save, I have pretty much collected everything there is to collect, the only thing I neglected in the game are plants, I did not collect every single plant spawn location in far cry and on the dlcs...
It's a shame UBI doesnt record everything in stats, it would be interesting to see how much of a nolife I am haha.
I took me a long time.

I'll tell you right away that the game can get boring, use my guide to see the things you can do and the instructions for them. In this guide I've covered all the gameplay components of the game.

Damn you. I already 100%'d the game a few years ago, and now I wanna do it again but be even more thorough and do the DLCs.
