Far Cry 3 Classic Edition Trophy Guide

Unlock Details

Purchase every available attachment and paint job for a single weapon. The easiest option is the 1911 pistol, which has six paint jobs and no attachments. Visit any shop and open the weapon customization menu. Select the 1911 pistol and purchase all six available paint jobs. The total cost is approximately $1,200. Once you've purchased the final paint job, the trophy will unlock.

Tip

Use the 1911 pistol to save money and unlock the trophy early. Since it has no attachments, you only need to purchase its paint jobs. Your new collection of colorful pistols might not impress the pirates, but at least your inventory will look fantastic.

Unlock Details

Craft five upgrades for Jason's equipment. Equipment upgrades increase your carrying capacity for weapons, ammunition, loot, and other supplies. To craft them, you'll need animal skins collected by hunting wildlife throughout the Rook Islands. Open the pause menu and navigate to Crafting, then select either Equipment or Ammo. Choose an available upgrade and craft it using the required animal skins. Repeat until you've crafted five upgrades to unlock the trophy.

Tip

Goats are particularly useful early in the game because several basic upgrades require their skins. You can find plenty of goats along the route toward Dr. Earnhardt's mansion. Activating radio towers also helps reveal animal locations, making it easier to track down the materials you need. Jason arrived on the island with a backpack and absolutely no survival skills. A few hours later, he's apparently qualified to manufacture tactical equipment out of goats.

Unlock Details

Complete one Path of the Hunter quest. These hunting challenges become available after you liberate your first outpost. Visit a liberated outpost and look for the bulletin board containing optional missions. Select a Path of the Hunter assignment, marked with an animal icon. Each quest requires you to hunt a specific animal using a designated weapon. Travel to the marked hunting area, collect the required weapon if one is provided, and track down your target. Kill the animal using the specified weapon to complete the quest and unlock the trophy.

Tip

Some Path of the Hunter missions feature rare animals and are marked with a red RARE stamp. Completing one of these special hunts and skinning the animal also earns Poacher, allowing you to unlock two trophies during the same activity.

Unlock Details

Dive more than 60 meters underwater. Open your map and look for a dark-blue section of ocean. These areas indicate deeper water and provide the best opportunity to reach the required depth. Travel to a sufficiently deep section of the ocean, jump into the water, and swim straight downward. Continue descending until you've reached a depth of more than 60 meters. The trophy unlocks once you've descended far enough.

Tip

You don't need to survive the dive for the trophy to count, so you can simply swim downward until it unlocks. If you'd prefer to return to the surface, consider unlocking these skills: Deep Breath: Allows Jason to stay underwater longer. Expert Swimmer: Increases swimming speed. You can also craft a Deep Dive syringe to improve your underwater survivability.

Warning

Make sure the ocean is deep enough before attempting the dive. Shallow areas won't allow you to reach the required depth. Also, keep an eye on Jason's remaining oxygen if you're planning to swim back to the surface. The trophy might reward reckless behavior, but the local sharks certainly don't need any encouragement.

Unlock Details

Fall more than 100 meters without using a wingsuit or parachute, and survive the landing. One reliable location is the large sinkhole on the northern island, near coordinates X: 438.0, Y: 795.0. Travel to the sinkhole and climb to its highest edge. Look down to locate the deep water at the bottom. Jump from the cliff and fall directly into the water without deploying a wingsuit or parachute. If you've fallen far enough and survive the landing, the trophy will unlock.

Tip

You can also attempt this during the story mission Fly South. When Jason jumps from Willis' plane, let him fall into the water below instead of immediately activating the wingsuit. It's a spectacularly questionable travel decision, but at least there's a trophy involved.

Warning

You must survive the fall. Aim for deep water and avoid hitting rocks or the surrounding shoreline.

Unlock Details

Complete one WANTED Dead quest. These assassination missions become available at liberated outposts. Find a bulletin board and select a WANTED Dead assignment. The quest will direct you to a nearby location where a pirate commander or other designated target is stationed. Travel to the area and identify your target. You must kill the designated enemy using the specific weapon required by the mission, typically a knife takedown. Eliminate the target correctly to complete the quest and unlock the trophy.

Tip

Use your camera to tag enemies and identify the target before approaching. If the mission requires a knife kill, eliminate surrounding guards quietly and approach your target from behind.

Warning

Pay attention to the mission's weapon requirement. Killing the target with the wrong weapon won't satisfy the objective.

Unlock Details

Unlock five skills to earn five skill tattoos. As you complete missions, defeat enemies, liberate outposts, and explore the Rook Islands, Jason will earn experience points. Once you've earned enough experience, open the Skills menu and purchase available abilities from the Heron, Shark, or Spider skill trees. After unlocking your fifth skill, the trophy will unlock automatically.

Tip

This trophy should come naturally through story progression. Choose skills that complement your preferred playstyle, but remember that you'll eventually need to unlock all 54 skills for Fully Inked.

Unlock Details

Liberate all 34 enemy-controlled outposts across the Rook Islands. There are: 20 outposts on the northern island. 14 outposts on the southern island. Each outpost must be cleared of enemy forces to count as liberated. You can approach them however you prefer, whether that's carefully eliminating guards with a silenced weapon or charging through the front entrance with enough explosives to attract attention from three neighboring islands. For a more efficient approach, use your camera to identify enemies and alarm boxes before entering. Disable alarms whenever possible to prevent reinforcements from arriving. Liberating an outpost unlocks its safe house, store, and fast-travel point. Once all 34 outposts have been liberated, the trophy will unlock. Tip:

Tip

Check the safe house after each liberation. Some contain memory cards required for Memory to Spare, so collecting them immediately will save you from revisiting locations later. Stealthy liberations also provide valuable bonus experience toward Fully Inked. You receive 550 bonus XP for clearing an outpost without an alarm being activated, or 1,500 bonus XP for completing it without being detected. These bonuses do not stack.

Warning

After liberating every outpost, you can use the Reset Outposts option in the Gameplay settings to restore enemy activity for any remaining combat trophies. The original liberations still count toward your trophy progress.

Unlock Details

Tag 25 enemies using Jason's camera. Equip the camera by pressing Up on the D-pad. Aim at an enemy to tag them. Once tagged, their position becomes visible even when they move behind cover. Repeat this process until you've tagged 25 enemies to unlock the trophy. Outposts are particularly useful because they contain multiple guards you can identify before attacking.

Tip

Use the camera whenever you approach an enemy-controlled outpost. You'll work toward Island Paparazzi while identifying enemy patrols, alarm boxes, and dangerous positions. This also makes stealth liberations much easier.

Warning

Taking photographs isn't required. You only need to tag enemies by aiming at them through the camera. If you've already liberated every outpost and still need more tags, use Reset Outposts in the Gameplay settings to restore hostile enemies. Jason may have become a heavily armed jungle warrior, but apparently, he still finds time for a little amateur wildlife photography. Except the wildlife has assault rifles.

Unlock Details

Unlock 50 entries in the Survivor Guide. The Survivor Guide automatically records information about the Rook Islands as Jason explores. New entries are added when you discover locations, encounter wildlife, gather plants, meet characters, and complete various activities. Simply continue playing the story and exploring the open world until you've unlocked 50 entries. The trophy will unlock automatically when you reach the required total.

Tip

This trophy should come naturally during your playthrough, so there's no need to actively grind for it. You can check your progress in the Handbook under Survivor Guide. Apparently, Jason's tropical vacation now includes writing an encyclopedia. At least nobody's grading it.

Unlock Details

Spend a cumulative total of $5,000 at shops throughout the Rook Islands. Shops are available at liberated outposts and other fast-travel locations. Look for the weapon locker inside a safe house to access the store. You can spend money on weapons, ammunition, attachments, paint jobs, collectible maps, and other available equipment. The trophy unlocks once your total spending reaches $5,000.

Tip

This should come naturally while upgrading your equipment. Purchasing collectible maps is especially useful because they reveal relics, Letters of the Lost, and memory cards while contributing toward the spending requirement. If you're short on cash, sell unwanted loot at a shop. Jason may be stranded on a dangerous island, but somehow the local economy is thriving.

Unlock Details

Craft a total of 25 syringes. Syringes are consumable items that provide healing and various temporary benefits. You can craft them using leaves gathered from plants throughout the Rook Islands. Open the pause menu and navigate to Crafting → Syringes. Choose any available recipe and craft syringes until you've produced 25 in total. All syringe types count toward the trophy, including medical, hunting, combat, exploration, and special syringes.

Tip

Basic medical syringes are usually the easiest to craft because they require common green leaves. You can also unlock the Horticulture 101 skill to harvest twice as many leaves from each plant, speeding up the process considerably. The trophy tracks syringes crafted, not syringes used, so you don't need to inject Jason with enough medicine to concern an entire hospital.

Unlock Details

Hunt and skin one rare animal. Rare animals appear during special Path of the Hunter missions, which become available after liberating certain outposts. Visit an outpost's bulletin board and look for a hunting assignment marked with a large red RARE stamp. Accept the mission and travel to the designated hunting area. Locate the rare animal and kill it using the weapon specified by the assignment. Approach its body and skin it to unlock the trophy.

Tip

Rare Path of the Hunter missions also count toward Bagged and Tagged, so you can earn both trophies from the same hunt.

Warning

Use the weapon required by the mission. Killing the rare animal with the wrong weapon can prevent you from completing the hunting objective.

Unlock Details

Liberate three enemy-controlled outposts. Outposts are marked on your map and can be found throughout the Rook Islands. Each one contains a group of enemies that must be eliminated to reclaim the location. Approach an enemy outpost and defeat every hostile guard inside. Once the final enemy is eliminated, the outpost becomes liberated and turns into a safe location. Repeat this process until you've liberated three outposts to unlock the trophy.

Tip

Use your camera to tag enemies before attacking. This makes it easier to track patrols, identify alarm boxes, and plan a stealthy approach. Liberating outposts without triggering alarms also awards bonus experience and helps you work toward Unheard.

Unlock Details

Complete one Supply Drop quest. Supply Drop missions become available as you liberate outposts and activate radio towers. Look for a Supply Drop icon on your map and travel to its starting location. Interact with the mission marker to begin a timed driving challenge. Enter the designated vehicle and follow the route through the checkpoints, reaching the final destination before the timer expires. Successfully complete the delivery to unlock the trophy.

Tip

Follow the marked route and avoid unnecessary detours. The time limits are generally manageable as long as you keep moving. Try not to launch your vehicle off a cliff while taking a shortcut. Jason has already survived enough questionable transportation decisions.

Unlock Details

Find the lost Hollywood star buried on a beach on the northern island. Travel to approximately X: 619.5, Y: 559.5 on your in-game map. When you reach the beach, look for two bodies hanging from a nearby tree. Beneath them, you'll find a man buried in the sand with only his head sticking out. Approach him and hold the interaction button to unlock the trophy.

Tip

This is a reference to The Far Cry Experience, a live-action promotional series featuring Christopher Mintz-Plasse. Apparently, his trip to the Rook Islands went even worse than Jason's.

Unlock Details

Craft one special syringe. Special syringes provide powerful temporary effects and require more ingredients than ordinary syringes. The easiest option is the Untouchable syringe, which becomes available after collecting 30 relics. Once you've collected enough relics, gather the following ingredients: 2 White Leaves 5 Amber Leaves 5 Green Leaves Open the pause menu and navigate to Crafting → Syringes → Special. Select the Untouchable syringe and craft it to unlock the trophy.

Tip

You'll already need to collect 60 relics for Archeology 101, so this trophy fits naturally into your collectible cleanup. White leaves are less common than ordinary plants, so keep an eye out for them while exploring. Untouchable temporarily protects Jason from damage, which is extremely useful when your next brilliant plan involves charging an enemy outpost with a flamethrower.

Warning

The Untouchable recipe won't become available until you've collected 30 relics. If it isn't showing in your crafting menu, check your relic total before searching for more ingredients.

Unlock Details

Liberate an enemy-controlled outpost without triggering an alarm. Approach any hostile outpost and use your camera to tag the guards and identify the alarm boxes. Before attacking, carefully eliminate enemies who might activate the alarms. You can also disable the alarm boxes directly to prevent reinforcements from being called. Clear the entire outpost without an alarm being triggered to unlock the trophy.

Tip

A silenced sniper rifle or the Recurve Bow makes this much easier. Throw rocks to lure guards away from groups, then eliminate them individually. Clearing an outpost without being detected also satisfies the trophy requirement and awards a larger experience bonus toward Fully Inked.

Warning

You don't have to remain completely undetected, but an alarm must never be activated. If a guard successfully calls for reinforcements, try again at another outpost or reload an earlier checkpoint.
