Far Cry 4 Trophy Guide

Unlock Details

Liberate all 24 enemy-controlled outposts across Kyrat. Each outpost contains a group of hostile soldiers, sometimes including heavily armored enemies and hunters who can command dangerous wildlife. To liberate an outpost, eliminate every enemy stationed there. Before attacking, use your camera to tag guards and identify the alarm boxes. You can disable alarms by interacting with them or shooting their control panels. If an alarm is triggered, additional enemy reinforcements may arrive, making the liberation more difficult. Continue clearing outposts throughout the campaign until all 24 have been liberated. The trophy unlocks immediately after capturing the final outpost.

Tip

Prioritize hunters and heavy soldiers when planning your attacks. Hunters can detect you more easily and turn nearby animals against you, while heavy soldiers can absorb considerable damage. A silenced sniper rifle is excellent for eliminating guards from a distance, while explosives and light machine guns make clearing heavily defended locations faster. Liberating outposts without being detected or triggering alarms also awards bonus experience toward Fully Loaded.

Warning

You don't need to liberate the four fortresses for this trophy. Those are separate locations, and conquering two of them is required for Display of Fortitude. Once all outposts are liberated, you can replay individual locations through Outpost Master or reset them through the Gameplay settings if you still need enemy-related trophies.

Unlock Details

Purchase every available attachment and paint scheme for a single weapon. Visit a trading post and open the weapon customization menu. Choose a standard weapon that supports customization, preferably one with no available attachments. Purchase every paint scheme listed for that weapon, along with any attachments it supports. Once you've bought all available customization options for your chosen weapon, the trophy will unlock.

Tip

Weapons without attachments are the easiest choice because you only need to purchase their paint schemes. Be prepared to spend a considerable amount of money. Fully customizing even a simple weapon can cost more than 200,000 rupees. All purchases also contribute toward Make It Rain.

Warning

Signature weapons aren't suitable for this trophy because they don't offer the standard customization options. Make sure you select a regular weapon with purchasable paint schemes. Ajay might be fighting to liberate an entire country, but apparently, matching his gun to his outfit remains an important part of the revolution.

Unlock Details

Complete three Bomb Defusal quests during the campaign. These optional missions become available as you explore Kyrat and progress through the story. There are seven Bomb Defusal quests in total, but you only need to complete three. During each mission, you'll need to locate and disarm several explosives planted around an enemy-controlled area. Approach the location carefully and identify the guards protecting the bombs. Eliminate enemies quietly whenever possible, then move between the marked explosives and interact with each one to disarm it. Repeat this process until you've successfully completed three Bomb Defusal missions to unlock the trophy.

Tip

A silenced weapon or Recurve Bow makes these missions much easier. Use your camera to tag guards before entering the area and plan a safe route between the bombs.

Warning

If enemies detect you, they can activate the explosives, starting a countdown. You'll then have limited time to disarm the remaining bombs before the mission fails. Apparently, Kyrat's bomb disposal department consists entirely of one man who was supposed to be on a family visit.

Unlock Details

Liberate 12 enemy-controlled outposts in the campaign. Outposts are hostile locations scattered throughout Kyrat. Each contains Royal Army soldiers who must be eliminated before the location can be reclaimed. Approach an outpost and use your camera to identify guards, patrol routes, and alarm boxes. Eliminate every enemy inside the outpost to liberate it. Repeat this process until you've liberated 12 outposts to unlock the trophy.

Tip

Try to disable alarm boxes before engaging the guards. This prevents reinforcements from arriving and makes clearing the outpost much easier. Liberating outposts also unlocks fast-travel locations and new activities, helping you progress toward several other trophies. You'll eventually need to liberate all 24 outposts for All Clear, so this trophy is a natural milestone.

Unlock Details

Conquer two enemy-controlled fortresses. Kyrat contains four fortresses, each controlled by one of Pagan Min's key allies. Fortresses are larger and more heavily defended than ordinary outposts, with additional guards, alarms, and reinforcements. To conquer one, approach the fortress and eliminate every enemy inside. You can use stealth to disable its alarms and eliminate guards individually, or attack directly with powerful weapons and explosives. Once you've conquered two fortresses, the trophy will unlock.

Tip

Wait until you've progressed far enough through the story to weaken the fortresses before attacking them. Weakened fortresses have fewer defenses and are significantly easier to liberate. You don't need to conquer all four fortresses for the Platinum.

Warning

Conquering a fortress prevents retaliation attacks against liberated outposts in its surrounding region. If you still need Defender, consider completing your three outpost defenses before taking over too many fortresses. If necessary, you can restore enemy-controlled locations later using Reset Outposts.

Unlock Details

Craft a total of 15 syringes. Syringes provide healing and various temporary benefits during exploration and combat. To craft them, gather colored leaves from plants throughout Kyrat. Hold R1 to open the weapon wheel, then press L2 to access the syringe wheel. Highlight an available syringe recipe and press R2 to craft it. Repeat until you've crafted 15 syringes to unlock the trophy.

Tip

Health syringes are the easiest option because they require common green leaves. Automatically crafted health syringes also count toward the trophy, so you'll make progress naturally while gathering healing supplies. You can unlock additional syringe recipes through the Elephant skill tree. Apparently, Ajay's medical training consists of picking leaves, mixing them together, and hoping for the best. Fortunately, Kyrat's healthcare regulations seem fairly relaxed.

Unlock Details

Purchase three upgrades for the Ghale Homestead. You'll visit the Ghale Homestead during the main story, but you'll need to complete the required early missions involving Yogi and Reggie before renovation purchases become available. Once the upgrades are unlocked, return to the homestead and find the groundskeeper sitting outside the building. Speak with him to access the list of available improvements. Purchase any three upgrades to unlock the trophy. There are 11 upgrades available in total, so you don't need to renovate the entire property.

Tip

Purchase the three cheapest available improvements if you're only interested in the trophy. Alternatively, consider buying the Buzzer upgrade for 400,000 rupees. It's expensive, but having a small helicopter available at your homestead makes traveling around Kyrat much more convenient. Apparently, Ajay's family home comes with a renovation budget that would make most homeowners reconsider their financial decisions.

Unlock Details

Learn every skill in the Tiger and Elephant skill trees. You'll earn experience points by completing missions, liberating outposts, collecting items, defeating enemies, and participating in activities throughout Kyrat. Every time you level up, you'll receive a skill point to spend. The two skill trees focus on different abilities: Tiger: Combat, weapon handling, stealth, and takedowns. Elephant: Survival, health, healing, and other useful upgrades. Some skills are locked behind story progression or specific challenges. These can include liberating outposts without being detected or completing objectives in Shangri-La. You'll also need to purchase all 10 levels of each of the four repeatable Elephant skills. Buying each of these skills once isn't enough. Once you've purchased every available skill and fully upgraded the repeatable abilities, the trophy will unlock.

Tip

This will likely be one of your final trophies because it requires a substantial amount of experience. Complete remaining side missions and collectibles to earn additional XP. If you've exhausted most activities, you can replay enemy-controlled locations using Outpost Master or Reset Outposts in the Gameplay settings. Rajgad Gulag, Pagan Min's fortress, is a useful location for farming experience through repeated takedowns.

Warning

Don't overlook the repeatable Elephant upgrades. Each has 10 levels, and all 40 upgrade levels are required. Also, check the descriptions of locked skills. Some require specific accomplishments rather than additional experience. Ajay may have started his adventure as an ordinary tourist, but by the time you're finished, he'll have enough qualifications to open his own extremely dangerous survival academy.

Unlock Details

Complete three Kyrati Films: Racing or Kyrati Films: Survival activities. These optional driving challenges become available as you explore Kyrat and liberate outposts and bell towers. There are two eligible activity types: 1. Kyrati Films: Racing: Drive through a series of checkpoints and reach the finish line before the timer expires. 2. Kyrati Films: Survival: Complete a timed route that requires you to switch vehicles at designated points along the way. Finish any combination of three activities to unlock the trophy.

Tip

You don't need gold medals. Bronze, silver, and gold finishes all count, so focus on completing the challenges rather than achieving perfect times. There are nine activities of each type, giving you plenty of options. Apparently, being caught in a civil war doesn't mean you can skip your driving lessons.

Unlock Details

Travel a cumulative distance of 5,000 meters using the wingsuit. The wingsuit becomes available early in the campaign and can be purchased from a trading post for 25,000 rupees. Once you've acquired it, jump from a sufficiently high location and deploy the wingsuit to glide through the air. Continue using the wingsuit throughout your adventure until you've traveled a total of 5,000 meters. The trophy unlocks once you've reached the required distance. Recommended Location: Ghale Homestead Travel to the Ghale Homestead, which sits near a large cliff. Jump from the cliff and deploy your wingsuit, gliding as far as possible before landing. Fast-travel back to the homestead and repeat the process until you've covered the required distance. If you've purchased the Buzzer upgrade for the homestead, you can also fly the helicopter to a high altitude, jump out, and glide farther on each attempt.

Tip

Several story missions include wingsuit sequences, so you'll naturally accumulate distance as you progress. Save any dedicated grinding until after completing the campaign. You may already be close to 5,000 meters by then.

Warning

Only distance traveled while using the wingsuit counts. Flying in a Buzzer or descending with a parachute won't contribute. Remember to deploy your parachute before hitting the ground. Ajay might be an experienced action hero by now, but gravity remains undefeated.

Unlock Details

Rescue a total of 15 hostages during Hostage Rescue quests. Hostage Rescue missions involve groups of civilians being held captive by enemy soldiers. Each mission typically contains four hostages guarded by hostile enemies. Approach the area carefully and use your camera to identify the guards and hostage locations. Eliminate the guards before they can execute the prisoners. Once the area is secure, rescue the surviving hostages. Continue completing Hostage Rescue missions until you've rescued 15 hostages in total.

Tip

Stealth is your best option. Use a silenced weapon or bow to eliminate guards without alerting the rest of the group. You only need to save one hostage for a mission to count as completed, but rescuing all four will make progress toward the trophy much faster. There are 14 Hostage Rescue quests available, and certain random Karma events can provide additional rescue opportunities.

Warning

If enemies become alerted, they may start executing hostages immediately. Prioritize guards standing closest to the prisoners and avoid explosives near the hostages. Ajay may be capable of taking on an entire army, but keeping four civilians alive requires a slightly more delicate approach than his usual collection of rocket launchers.

Unlock Details

Hijack three Royal Cargo Trucks and deliver them to liberated outposts. Royal Cargo Trucks appear randomly on roads throughout Kyrat. Watch your minimap for their vehicle icons while exploring. When you spot a truck, intercept it and eliminate the driver without destroying the vehicle. Enter the truck and follow the objective marker to a liberated outpost. Drive the truck into the designated delivery area to complete the hijacking. Repeat this process until you've successfully delivered three trucks to unlock the trophy.

Tip

A well-placed shot at the driver is usually the quickest approach. Avoid using rockets or explosives because you need the truck intact. If you're having trouble finding trucks, spend some time driving along major roads instead of relying exclusively on fast travel.

Warning

Destroying a Royal Cargo Truck doesn't count toward this trophy. You must deliver the vehicle to a liberated outpost. For once, the Golden Path would prefer Ajay to bring something back without blowing it up. A surprisingly unreasonable request, given his usual methods.

Unlock Details

Complete three Kyrat Fashion Week quests. Kyrat Fashion Week missions are special hunting assignments that require you to track down rare animals and collect their skins. These missions become available as you progress through the campaign and meet the required characters. Each quest sends you to a designated hunting area where a rare animal can be found. Pay attention to the weapon specified by the mission, as you'll need to kill the animal using the required equipment. After successfully hunting the animal, approach its body and skin it to complete the assignment. Finish three Kyrat Fashion Week quests to unlock the trophy.

Tip

There are nine Kyrat Fashion Week quests available, and completing more than the required three is worthwhile. The rare animal skins are used to craft some of the best equipment upgrades in the game. These hunts are especially useful if you're working toward Tricked Out or planning to maximize Ajay's carrying capacity.

Warning

Always check the mission's weapon requirement before attacking. Killing the rare animal with the wrong weapon can prevent you from completing the objective. Apparently, Kyrat's fashion industry takes its material requirements very seriously. Unfortunately, the animals weren't invited to the design meeting.

Unlock Details

Liberate any enemy-controlled outpost without triggering an alarm. Approach an outpost and identify its alarm boxes using your camera. Many early outposts have only one alarm, making them ideal for this trophy. Sneak into the compound and disable the alarm by interacting with its control box or destroying it from a distance. Once the alarm is disabled, eliminate every enemy to liberate the outpost. As long as no alarm was triggered during the encounter, the trophy will unlock.

Tip

You don't have to remain completely undetected. Enemies can discover your presence without preventing the trophy, provided they never successfully activate an alarm. For the easiest attempt, target an early outpost with a single alarm box and disable it before starting a firefight.

Warning

If an enemy activates an alarm before you disable it, that liberation won't count. Try another outpost or replay the location later. Remember: stealth is optional, but keeping the alarm silent isn't. Pagan's soldiers are welcome to panic; they just aren't allowed to phone their friends.

Unlock Details

Craft five equipment upgrades. Equipment upgrades improve Ajay's carrying capacity for weapons, ammunition, loot, and other supplies. To craft them, you'll need animal skins collected from wildlife throughout Kyrat. Hunt animals and approach their bodies to skin them. Once you've collected the necessary materials, open the Crafting menu using the touchpad. Select an available equipment upgrade and craft it. Repeat until you've crafted five upgrades to unlock the trophy.

Tip

Hunting animals with a bow, knife, or throwing knife rewards two skins instead of one, making it easier to collect crafting materials. Avoid explosives because they damage animal skins and prevent you from collecting usable pelts. Prioritize weapon holster upgrades early so you can carry more weapons into combat.

Warning

Some advanced equipment upgrades require rare animal skins obtained through Kyrat Fashion Week quests. You don't need these advanced upgrades for this trophy, but they're useful if you're planning to maximize your equipment.

Unlock Details

Complete three Assassination or Eye for an Eye quests. These optional missions become available throughout Kyrat as you liberate outposts and explore new areas. Both mission types involve eliminating specific enemy commanders, but their objectives differ. Assassination Quests: Locate the designated commander and eliminate them without being detected. After killing the target, approach the body and loot it to complete the objective. Eye for an Eye Quests: Find the designated enemy commander and eliminate them using the specific weapon required by the mission. Afterward, photograph the target's body as instructed. You can complete any combination of the two mission types, provided you finish three quests in total. The trophy unlocks after completing your third eligible mission.

Tip

There are seven Assassination quests and eight Eye for an Eye quests, so you'll have plenty of opportunities. For Assassination missions, use your camera to identify guards and plan a stealthy route toward the target. For Eye for an Eye missions, check the required weapon before attacking. Showing up with the wrong equipment can turn a simple assignment into an unnecessarily complicated afternoon.

Unlock Details

Complete six hunting quests in any combination of Supply, Control, or Survival missions. Hunting quests become available as you liberate outposts and bell towers throughout Kyrat. There are three eligible mission types: 1. Hunting: Supplies: Hunt designated animals using a bow, collect their skins, and deliver the required materials to the marked container. 2. Hunting: Control: Travel to a designated area and eliminate the dangerous animals threatening nearby residents. 3. Hunting: Survival: Protect a group of three civilians from attacking animals. At least one civilian must survive for the mission to count as completed. Complete any six hunting missions across these categories to unlock the trophy.

Tip

Supply and Control missions are generally easier than Survival missions, so prioritize those if you want a straightforward route to the trophy. There are 14 eligible hunting quests, giving you plenty of options. If you're attempting a Survival mission, focus on eliminating predators before they reach the civilians. The people you're protecting are surprisingly fragile, considering they've apparently chosen to live in the world's most aggressive wildlife sanctuary.
