Far Cry 4 Walkthrough and Guide

Far Cry 4 is the next game in the well-established and popular Far Cry series - which are Action-adventure first-person shooter type video games that were developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft.

The game has versions for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One consoles, as well as Microsoft Windows PC.

Far Cry 4 is the direct sequel to 2012s Far Cry 3, and as the name implies it is the fourth installment in the Far Cry series.

Far Cry 4 was released in most of the world on 18 November, 2014 - but will not be released in Japan until 22 January, 2015.

The Far Cry series is best known - and loved - for its massive open-world Action-adventure style and game play world, offering a fusion of First-Person Shooter, limited RPG, and as mentioned, Action-Adventure genres.

The games have always been known for their rather involved plots - each of which focuses upon a protagonist whose story unfolds during play, often with multiple surprises and thematic elements, and FC4 is no exception to that rule.

This time around our hero is a young man bringing his mother's ashes home to her homeland, the conflicted region near Tibet in which several factions are battling for control.

It is fair to say that it is not a very stable environment, and probably not the ideal environment in which to insert yourself whether you need to spread Mums ashes or not!

Our hero is Ajay Ghale, who has brought Mum home to Kyrat in order to carry out her final wishes which were to have her ashes placed in the shrine in which her daughter - your sister - is already placed - which is near her home village.

Upon arrival Ajay's bus is attacked by Amaka government Zulu forces - one of the factions - and Ajay and Darpan (the old man who serves as Ajay's guide) are subsequently taken prisoner by Pagan Min, the country's eccentric and violent king and self-proclaimed leader.

Pagan brings Ajay to his fortress, explaining that he knew Ajay's mum and in fact was, at some point in their shared past, romantically involved with her. After springing that revelation upon him, Ajay is left alone to absorb and contemplate that news - and that is when he has his escape, and our story finally gets started.

Unfortunately you cannot have a revolution without there being at least one other faction - and in this case the other faction is run by a ruthless warrior type named Sabal, whose rebel faction is called The Golden Path.

Ironically The Golden Path was originally founded by Ajay's father, Mohan Ghale, and it seems that Sabal sees part of his destiny to be intertwined with that of Ajay.

Thus begins Ajay's journey to the village of Lakshmana, where his Mum wants her ashes to be scattered - a promise that Ajay intends to keep - even if it means becoming a rebel!

Far Cry 4 is a very complex and complicated game that has a fairly intense measure of accountability built into it. There are in fact four possible endings - and the one you get will be partly based on the decisions that you make as you play the game.

Well, technically there are really three possible endings - the fourth one is something of a joke - but as it happens to be pretty funny, it is a joke we intend to share with you - in the guide of course!

This guide is written to provide assistance, detail, and answers for the most common play-through choices - and while it goes into some detail at various points, it simply can not cover every possible outcome and choice - and so we don't try to do that.

It is structured in a linear path, following the chapter and mission style of play with which the game is built. Due to the nature of this genre we realize that depending on your gaming experience you will either follow the beat of your own drum - popping in and out of this guide as needed - or you will literally follow the guide.

Either way is fine with us - we just want you to be happy and NOT frustrated. And considering the potential for frustration in this game, that is saying a lot!

So without any further qualification - we present you with the SuperCheats Unofficial Guide to Far Cry 4 - as played on Xbox One.
