Far Cry 5

Unlock Details

Complete Nick Rye's story mission Watchman in Holland Valley, John Seed's region. Travel to Nick Rye's location and help defend him and his wife, Kim, from attacking cultists. After securing the area, Nick will ask you to retrieve his plane from an airfield controlled by Eden's Gate. Follow the mission objectives to reach the airfield and eliminate the cultists guarding the aircraft. Once you've secured the plane, climb inside and follow Nick's flight instructions. Complete the flying sequence and return to Nick's airfield, where you'll need to defend the location against another cult attack. Successfully finish the mission to unlock the trophy.

Tip

Follow Nick's instructions during the flight training sequence. You'll learn the basic aircraft controls and how to use the plane's weapons, which will be useful for later aviation-related trophies. Nick's aircraft missions are also a good opportunity to practice aerial combat before attempting Ace Killer and Death From Above.

Warning

This trophy is tied to Nick Rye's mission sequence, so make sure you complete his objectives while exploring Holland Valley. Apparently, the Deputy's job description now includes flying lessons, aerial combat, and rescuing a family-owned aviation business. The Hope County Sheriff's Department really needs to reconsider its training budget.

Unlock Details

Speak to 50 citizens throughout Hope County. You'll encounter friendly civilians at liberated outposts, settlements, resistance locations, and other areas while exploring the map. Approach a civilian and hold Square when the interaction prompt appears to speak with them. Conversations with characters who introduce missions can also contribute toward your progress, provided you listen to their dialogue. Continue speaking with people until you've completed 50 conversations to unlock the trophy.

Tip

This trophy should unlock naturally if you regularly speak with civilians while progressing through the campaign. Make a habit of talking to people at every liberated outpost. Many will also reveal new missions, Prepper Stashes, and other useful locations. If you finish the story without unlocking the trophy, fast-travel between friendly settlements and speak with any civilians you've overlooked.

Warning

Repeatedly speaking to the same person may not count toward the requirement. Focus on finding new conversations rather than exhausting one unfortunate resident's patience.

Unlock Details

Complete the story mission Ignorance Is Bliss in Faith Seed's region, Henbane River. As you increase resistance against Faith, you'll experience another hallucination involving the Bliss. During this sequence, you'll encounter Faith and Marshal Burke inside the surreal Bliss environment. Follow the mission objectives until the Marshal begins moving toward a gate. Chase after him and interact with him before he reaches the gate. Successfully reaching the Marshal will end the sequence and return you to the real world. The trophy unlocks automatically after the mission concludes.

Tip

Stay focused on the objective marker when the Marshal begins moving. You don't need to fight enemies or explore the area during the chase. Apparently, the Bliss is supposed to make people feel peaceful, but so far it mostly seems to involve extremely stressful walking exercises.

Unlock Details

Perform 25 close-combat takedown kills. Takedowns are stealthy melee attacks that allow you to eliminate enemies quickly at close range. Approach a cultist from behind or from a position where they haven't detected you. When you're close enough, press R3 to perform a standard takedown. Repeat until you've successfully completed 25 close-combat takedown kills to unlock the trophy. You can earn these kills across story missions, outpost liberations, and free-roam encounters.

Tip

Enemy-controlled outposts are ideal for farming takedowns because guards follow predictable patrol routes. Use rocks to distract enemies and approach them from behind while they're investigating. Combining takedowns with stealthy outpost liberations can also earn additional cash and resistance points.

Warning

Standard close-combat takedowns count toward this trophy. Specialized takedowns, such as pistol or thrown-weapon takedowns, may not register. Focus on ordinary melee takedowns using R3 until you've earned all 25 kills.

Unlock Details

Trigger the wrath of one of Joseph Seed's Heralds by reaching the maximum resistance level in a region. Hope County is divided into three main regions, each controlled by a member of the Seed family: 1. Holland Valley — John Seed 2. Henbane River — Faith Seed 3. Whitetail Mountains — Jacob Seed To increase resistance, complete story missions, liberate outposts, destroy cult property, rescue civilians, and participate in other resistance activities. Each region has a resistance meter that tracks your progress toward confronting its leader. You'll need approximately: - 13,000 resistance points in Holland Valley. - 13,000 resistance points in Henbane River. - 10,000 resistance points in the Whitetail Mountains. Once you've filled the resistance meter in any one region, that region's Herald will initiate the events leading to your final confrontation. The trophy unlocks when you trigger the Herald's wrath.

Tip

This trophy unlocks naturally while progressing through the campaign. You don't need to complete every activity in a region to fill its resistance meter. Focus on liberating outposts and completing missions for substantial resistance rewards. Apparently, destroying enough of the cult's property eventually gets you a personal invitation from management. Hope County's customer service department is something else.

Unlock Details

Liberate five cult-controlled outposts throughout Hope County. There are 20 outposts across the game: Dutch's Island: 1 outpost Holland Valley: 7 outposts Henbane River: 8 outposts Whitetail Mountains: 4 outposts Approach an enemy-controlled outpost and use your binoculars to tag the cultists guarding it. Identify any alarm boxes before attacking. You can disable alarms by interacting with them or destroying their control panels using a suitable weapon. Eliminate every cultist inside the outpost to liberate it. Repeat until you've liberated five outposts to unlock the trophy.

Tip

Try liberating outposts without triggering alarms to earn additional cash. Remaining completely undetected provides an even larger bonus. Liberated outposts become fast-travel locations and often provide access to new missions, shops, and vehicles.

Warning

If a cultist activates an alarm, reinforcements will arrive, making the outpost more difficult to liberate. You can replay enemy-controlled outposts using Outpost Master after liberating all 20 locations, so you'll still have opportunities to complete combat-related trophies later.

Unlock Details

Complete the story mission associated with Jacob Seed's first trial in the Whitetail Mountains. As you build resistance against Jacob, his soldiers will eventually capture the Deputy. You'll be taken to Jacob's facility and forced to participate in a deadly training exercise. During the trial, move through a series of rooms while eliminating enemies and collecting weapons. The sequence is timed, so keep moving and eliminate enemies quickly to maintain your remaining time. Complete the trial and return to the real world to unlock the trophy.

Tip

Use the weapons provided throughout the trial and prioritize enemies directly blocking your path. The trial is scripted story progression, so being captured doesn't mean you've made a mistake. Jacob's idea of a team-building exercise is considerably more aggressive than most workplace training programs.

Unlock Details

Complete the mission Here Kitty, Kitty and recruit Peaches in Faith Seed's region. Travel to Peaches Taxidermy in Henbane River to begin the mission. After arriving, you'll learn that Peaches, a trained mountain lion, has wandered away from her home. Collect the treats provided for Peaches and follow the objective marker to locate her. Once you find Peaches, use the treats to lure her back toward the taxidermy. Throw treats along the path whenever she stops following you. After returning Peaches to her home, defend the property against the cultists who arrive. Successfully eliminate the attackers and complete the mission to unlock the trophy.

Tip

Peaches becomes available as a Fang for Hire after completing the mission. She's particularly useful for stealth because she can quietly eliminate enemies without immediately attracting attention.

Warning

Make sure Peaches continues following you as you return to the taxidermy. If she stops moving, throw another treat to encourage her to continue. Most people adopt a cat and buy it a scratching post. In Hope County, apparently, you recruit a mountain lion and give it combat assignments.

Unlock Details

Kill 25 enemies while driving or riding in a vehicle. You can earn these kills using handheld weapons, mounted vehicle weapons, or firearms while leaning out of a vehicle. Find a vehicle and travel through cult-controlled areas where enemy patrols frequently appear. When you encounter hostile soldiers, shoot them while remaining inside the vehicle. Continue until you've eliminated 25 enemies to unlock the trophy. Recommended Method: Widowmaker During the Widowmaker side mission in John Seed's region, you'll recover a heavily armed semi-truck equipped with mounted machine guns. Use the truck's weapons to eliminate cultists and enemy vehicles while completing the mission. This provides an excellent opportunity to accumulate kills toward Road Gunner.

Tip

Vehicle-mounted weapons are particularly effective because they allow you to eliminate enemies without worrying about ammunition as frequently. You can also work toward this trophy naturally while driving through Hope County and completing story missions.

Warning

Enemies must be killed using weapons while you're inside a vehicle. Running them over contributes toward Squash and Run instead.

Unlock Details

Complete the story mission The Quality of Mercy in John Seed's region, Holland Valley. After defeating John Seed, you'll need to enter his bunker and rescue the prisoners being held inside. Follow the mission marker to the bunker and fight your way through the cultists guarding the facility. Continue through the underground areas until you locate Deputy Hudson. After rescuing her, follow her instructions as you make your way toward the exit. You'll eventually reach a circular chamber where you must defend your position while opening the bunker. Eliminate the attacking cultists and survive until you can escape. Once you've successfully left the bunker with Hudson, the trophy unlocks automatically.

Tip

Bring plenty of ammunition and medkits before entering the bunker. You'll encounter numerous enemies in confined spaces, making shotguns and other close-range weapons particularly effective. This is a story-related trophy and can't be missed through normal progression.

Unlock Details

Complete the story mission Casualties of War in Jacob Seed's region, the Whitetail Mountains. After defeating Jacob Seed, you'll need to enter his bunker and rescue Deputy Pratt. Travel to the marked location and eliminate the cultists guarding the entrance. Once inside, continue through the underground facility until you reach the control room. You'll need to shut down the pressure valves to access the area where Pratt is being held. After rescuing him, follow the escape route and eliminate any remaining enemies blocking your path. Successfully escape the bunker and complete the mission to unlock the trophy.

Tip

The exterior of Jacob's bunker is heavily guarded, but parts of the interior can be approached with stealth. Bring a reliable weapon and plenty of ammunition for the escape sequence. This trophy is story-related and cannot be missed through normal campaign progression.

Unlock Details

Complete the story mission Walk the Path in Faith Seed's region, Henbane River. After defeating Faith Seed, you'll enter her underground bunker to rescue Sheriff Whitehorse and shut down the cult's Bliss production. Follow the mission objectives through the facility while eliminating the cultists defending it. You'll need to interact with several valves and destroy the machinery responsible for producing the Bliss. Continue through the bunker until you've disabled the production equipment. Once the facility begins collapsing, follow the escape route and leave the bunker before the explosions and fire overwhelm you. Successfully escaping and completing the mission unlocks the trophy.

Tip

Bring a reliable close-range weapon and plenty of ammunition before entering the bunker. The enclosed corridors make it easy for cultists to surround you. Follow the objective markers carefully when shutting down the machinery, and don't waste time exploring once the escape sequence begins.

Warning

Despite sharing its name with the Walk the Path trophy, this is a different mission sequence. The trophy Saving Sheriff Whitehorse unlocks after the later bunker mission, not during Faith's earlier Bliss hallucination.

Unlock Details

Complete three Prepper Stash treasure hunts throughout Hope County. Prepper Stashes are hidden supply caches containing money, ammunition, weapons, and valuable perk magazines. There are 28 Prepper Stashes in total, but you only need to complete three. Look for the green diamond icons on your map to locate available stashes. Each stash presents a small environmental puzzle that may involve finding a key, climbing buildings, using your grappling hook, or discovering a hidden entrance. Follow the clues at the location until you reach the supply cache and complete the objective. Repeat this process with three different Prepper Stashes to unlock the trophy.

Tip

Each completed Prepper Stash generally rewards three perk points, making these activities one of the fastest ways to unlock useful abilities. Try completing them early so you can purchase essential perks such as Wingsuit, Grapple, and additional weapon holsters. Apparently, Hope County's residents prepared for the apocalypse by hiding valuable supplies behind increasingly elaborate puzzles. A locked front door would have been too easy.

Unlock Details

Complete the optional story mission Clean Water Act in Faith Seed's region, Henbane River. The mission takes place at a cult-controlled water treatment facility near Peaches Taxidermy. You can discover the mission through a radio call while exploring the region or by approaching the facility directly. Travel to the water treatment plant and eliminate the cultists guarding the area. Your objective is to disable the machinery being used to produce and distribute the Bliss. Follow the mission markers to drain the water from the facility, allowing you to access the tunnels and enter the treatment buildings. Once inside, locate and destroy the water treatment pumps in both buildings. Successfully destroy the required machinery and complete the mission to unlock the trophy.

Tip

Bring a reliable weapon and plenty of ammunition. The treatment plant is heavily defended, and you'll encounter enemies while moving between the buildings. Pay attention to the objective markers when draining the water, as several areas become accessible only after changing the water level.

Warning

Clean Water Act is an optional mission rather than a mandatory campaign objective. Make sure you complete it before considering your trophy cleanup finished.

Unlock Details

Complete the optional story mission Special Delivery in John Seed's region. After liberating Holland Valley and progressing Nick Rye's storyline, you'll eventually receive a call from his wife, Kim. She needs help getting to a midwife because she's about to give birth. Return to Nick Rye's airfield to begin the mission. Once the mission starts, get into the designated vehicle and drive Kim to the midwife's location before the timer expires. Follow the marked route, avoid obstacles, and keep moving until you reach the destination. Successfully completing the delivery unlocks the trophy.

Tip

Focus on staying on the road and maintaining a steady speed rather than taking risky shortcuts. The mission includes deliberately inconvenient obstacles, so don't be surprised when Hope County's already questionable traffic conditions suddenly become even worse.

Warning

This is an optional mission, so don't assume it'll unlock automatically while completing the main story. Return to Nick Rye's airfield after progressing through John's region and watch for Kim's call.

Unlock Details

Run over and kill 20 cultists using vehicles. Find a car, truck, or other suitable vehicle and drive along roads where Eden's Gate soldiers frequently appear. When you encounter hostile cultists, run them over to register a vehicle kill. Continue until you've killed 20 enemies through vehicle impacts to unlock the trophy. You can use multiple vehicles and complete the kills across different sessions.

Tip

Cult-controlled regions are ideal for this challenge because enemy patrols frequently appear along roads. You can also target cultists around enemy outposts, although you'll need to watch out for gunfire while approaching. Combine this trophy with Road Gunner by eliminating enemies with both vehicle impacts and mounted or handheld weapons during your travels.

Warning

Only enemy kills count. Running over civilians or friendly resistance members won't contribute toward the trophy. Enemies must die from the vehicle impact rather than gunfire or explosions. Driving through Hope County is already dangerous enough without the Deputy treating every cult roadblock like a bowling alley.

Unlock Details

Purchase three vehicles from vehicle shops throughout Hope County. Visit any vehicle shop, identified by a green vehicle icon on your map. You can purchase cars, trucks, boats, planes, or helicopters, depending on the type of shop. Buy any three vehicles to unlock the trophy. Your purchases are saved to your garage, allowing you to summon the vehicles again whenever you visit a compatible vehicle shop.

Tip

Choose vehicles that will help with other trophies. An armed aircraft is useful for Ace Killer and Death From Above, while a fast car or truck can help with Squash and Run and Road Gunner. You'll also make progress toward Big Spender, which requires spending $50,000 on vehicles.

Unlock Details

Purchase at least 25 perks from the Perks menu. Far Cry 5 features 50 perks covering survival abilities, combat improvements, equipment upgrades, and companion bonuses. You only need to purchase half of them to unlock this trophy. Unlike previous Far Cry games, you don't earn perk points simply by leveling up. Instead, you'll collect them by completing challenges, discovering perk magazines, and finishing Prepper Stashes. Some Arcade activities can also contribute perk points toward your campaign progression. To unlock the trophy: Open the pause menu and navigate to the Perks tab. Check which abilities you haven't purchased. Complete challenges and Prepper Stashes to earn additional perk points. Purchase any 25 different perks from the available categories. Once you've bought your twenty-fifth perk, the trophy will unlock. You don't need to unlock every perk or fully upgrade any particular skill tree.

Tip

Prepper Stashes are one of the fastest ways to earn perk points. There are 28 throughout Hope County, and completing one generally rewards three perk magazines. Focus on useful perks early, including Grapple, Parachute, Wingsuit, Additional Holster, Weapons Collector, Fisher King, and Saboteur. Several of these will also help with other trophies. If you're approaching 25 purchases and want to finish quickly, consider buying cheaper perks, such as the Guns for Hire recovery upgrades.

Warning

The requirement is to purchase 25 perks, not earn 25 perk points. Spending multiple points on a single perk doesn't count as multiple purchases, so focus on unlocking different abilities. You can check your progress through the Perks menu. By the time you've liberated Hope County, survived the Seed family, completed countless challenges, and explored half the wilderness, the Deputy should have enough experience to qualify as a one-person emergency response department.

Unlock Details

Complete one Clutch Nixon stunt in each of Hope County's three main regions. Clutch Nixon stunts are timed racing challenges that involve driving or flying through checkpoints while attempting to reach the finish line before the timer expires. There are eight stunts in total: Holland Valley — John Seed's Region: 2 stunts. Henbane River — Faith Seed's Region: 3 stunts. Whitetail Mountains — Jacob Seed's Region: 3 stunts. Find a Clutch Nixon stunt marker in each region and interact with it to begin the challenge. Follow the marked route and pass through the checkpoints before time runs out. Each checkpoint adds five seconds to your remaining time, so avoid missing them. Complete one stunt in all three regions to unlock the trophy.

Tip

You don't need to complete all eight stunts. Choose whichever challenge you find easiest in each region. The vehicle-handling challenges are generally straightforward once you've learned the route. If you're struggling, replay the stunt and concentrate on hitting every checkpoint. Clutch Nixon's legendary achievements apparently involved driving dangerously fast through Montana. Naturally, the Deputy is now expected to recreate them during an active civil war.

Unlock Details

Complete the game's introduction by liberating Dutch's Island. After escaping Joseph Seed's cult during the opening mission, you'll meet Dutch, who helps you prepare for the fight against Eden's Gate. Follow his instructions to complete the introductory objectives, including destroying cult shrines, freeing hostages, and liberating the island's enemy-controlled outpost. Once you've completed the required activities and liberated Dutch's Island, the trophy unlocks automatically.

Tip

Dutch's Island serves as the game's tutorial area, introducing you to combat, stealth, exploration, and resistance activities. Once you've liberated the island, you'll gain access to the three main regions of Hope County and can approach them in whichever order you prefer.

Unlock Details

Complete the final story mission, Where It All Began, by choosing the Resist ending. After defeating John, Faith, and Jacob Seed, you'll receive an invitation to confront Joseph Seed at his compound. Travel to the marked location to begin the final confrontation. During the conversation, Joseph will offer you two choices: Resist: Fight Joseph and complete the game's main ending. Walk Away: Leave the compound without fighting him. Choose Resist to begin the final battle. During the encounter, Joseph will turn your allies against you using the Bliss. Defeat the affected allies and revive them as instructed while continuing to fight Joseph. Once you've completed the confrontation, follow the final escape sequence to finish the story and unlock the trophy.

Tip

You don't need to complete every side mission or collectible before confronting Joseph. Free-roam cleanup remains available after finishing the campaign.

Warning

You must choose Resist to unlock Together Forever. Choosing Walk Away won't award the trophy, but you can replay the final mission afterward and select Resist instead. After everything you've been through, Joseph offering you the chance to simply walk away feels like the least trustworthy invitation in gaming history.

Unlock Details

Destroy at least one piece of Eden's Gate cult property in each of Hope County's four regions. Each region contains a different type of destructible cult property: 1. Dutch's Island — Cult Shrines: Destroy one of the two shrines found during the game's introductory missions. 2. Holland Valley — Silos: Find and destroy one of the 14 red-and-white cult silos scattered throughout John Seed's region. 3. Henbane River — Cult Shrines: Destroy one of the 16 Bliss shrines found in Faith Seed's region. 4. Whitetail Mountains — Wolf Beacons: Locate and destroy one of the 10 wolf beacons scattered throughout Jacob Seed's region. You can destroy these structures using explosives, vehicle-mounted weapons, or other suitable firearms. Once you've destroyed at least one cult property in all four regions, the trophy will unlock.

Tip

You'll naturally destroy cult shrines on Dutch's Island during the introduction, so focus on finding a silo, a Bliss shrine, and a wolf beacon as you explore the remaining regions. You only need one structure per region, not every piece of cult property.

Warning

Dutch's Island counts as a separate region for this trophy. Don't overlook it when checking your progress. Apparently, Eden's Gate has invested heavily in infrastructure. Unfortunately for Joseph Seed, the Deputy specializes in extremely aggressive demolition work.

Unlock Details

Complete the story mission The Bliss in Faith Seed's region, Henbane River. As you complete missions and build resistance against Faith, you'll begin experiencing strange hallucinations caused by the Bliss. During one of these encounters, you'll be transported into a dreamlike environment where Faith guides you through a supernatural sequence. Follow Faith and listen to Joseph Seed's dialogue as you progress through the area. Continue following the mission objectives until the sequence concludes. The trophy unlocks automatically after completing The Bliss.

Tip

This mission is triggered through normal story progression as you build resistance in Faith's region. There's no need to search for a specific location or complete any optional objectives. If the scenery suddenly becomes suspiciously peaceful and everything turns green, congratulations. You've probably entered another one of Hope County's extremely questionable spiritual experiences.

Unlock Details

Complete three side missions throughout Hope County. Side missions are optional objectives that become available as you explore the map, liberate outposts, and speak with friendly residents. They're generally marked with a white star icon on your map. These missions involve a variety of activities, including rescuing civilians, eliminating cultists, investigating locations, and helping resistance members. Accept and complete any three side missions to unlock the trophy.

Tip

There are plenty of optional activities throughout Hope County, so this trophy should unlock naturally while progressing through the campaign. Prepper Stashes and Clutch Nixon stunts also contribute to regional mission completion, giving you additional activities to tackle while building resistance. You can combine this trophy with Scavenger by completing three Prepper Stashes early in your adventure.

Unlock Details

Complete the story mission The Confession in John Seed's region, Holland Valley. As you complete missions and build resistance against John Seed, his forces will become increasingly aggressive. When you reach the required resistance level, capture parties will begin hunting the Deputy. Eventually, you'll be captured and taken to John's bunker, where you'll be subjected to an interrogation. Follow the mission objectives, escape your restraints, and fight your way out using whatever weapons you can find. Once you successfully escape the bunker and complete the mission, the trophy unlocks automatically.

Tip

The capture sequence is a scripted part of the campaign, so don't worry if you can't escape the pursuing enemies. After everything the Deputy has survived, being kidnapped by a heavily armed religious fanatic is apparently just another Tuesday in Hope County.
