General Tips
Hunting/Crafting Tips
Ready to get up close and personal with Rook Island's meanest denizens?
When the game starts, you're going to be grossly limited in the number of items that you can carry. In order to load up with more goodies, you'll need to hunt animals and use their skins to make more bags for yourself. Luckily, the process isn't all that difficult, as the early tutorials will explain most of the basics: go to an area that has the kind of animals that you need to hunt, hop out of your car, wander around for a bit, find your targets, and shoot them. If you're quiet while you move, you shouldn't have too many problems bagging your prey.
Of course, finding that prey might be a different matter. Luckily, almost every animal you need to hunt will be marked on your map, assuming you've revealed it. If you want to get a jump start on crafting at the beginning of the game, it's worth taking your time to travel the map and climb to the top of all the radio towers that you can access. (You'll be doing this regardless, so you might as well get it out of the way; as a benefit you'll unlock a lot of free weapons in stores.) After doing that, attack as many outposts as you can to both eliminate enemy patrols and unlock new Path of the Hunter missions. From there, you just need to concentrate on locating the animals that you need to hunt and track them down. You should concentrate on bigger rucksacks, weapon holsters, and wallets first, but if you skin everything you see, you should be able to make all of the bags before you dive into the story missions, should you wish to do so.
Like shooting fish in a…in an ocean. With a rocket launcher.
Here are a few tips to get you started.
- Sharks can be one of the toughest enemies to hunt, as they're underwater and said water will make them somewhat resistant to bullets. It's easiest to take them down after you unlock the RPG; hitting a shark with a rocket-propelled grenade will kill it in one shot, allowing you to swim out, skin it, and return to shore to nab the next one. The best spot to do this is north of the Welshore Wrecker's House outpost, on the northwestern corner of the first island. You'll be near an ammo store, so you can restock if need be, and there are plenty of sharks just off the coast.
- Crafting the last upgrade in each category requires you to find a rare, unique animal. These are all found as the result of Path of the Hunter quests, so do as many of those as you find as you travel the island. This is a good idea regardless of hitting the unique enemies, as all of these quests will point you towards normal animals with skins you probably will need.
- Animals come as either predators or herbivores. Predators will usually attack you when they spot you, and since none of them have any ranged attacks, using a shotgun on them as they approach is usually the best bet to take them out. Herbivores will often run when spooked, so bring an assault rifle or other high-powered, rapid-fire weapon to take them down from a distance. Most animals, even the tough ones like bears, will usually die when set on fire, so a molotov or flare gun might also be nice to have in your back pocket.
- You can't damage animal pelts, no matter how you kill their wearer, so if you're having trouble killing your prey, don't hesitate to bring along an explosive arrow or RPG to settle the job once and for all.
- If you’re attempting a Path of the Hunter quest, keep in mind that you have to use the type of weapon that the mission requests, not necessarily the weapon you’re given. If a mission says that you have to pick up an SMG after accepting it, you can usually bring your tricked-out SMG from the nearest weapon store rather than the low-quality one that the mission provides. Bring your best gear for the best chance at a kill!

G'day mate. Sounds like ur Xbox (the old version?) as crashed? Mine did the same. So I had to buy the latest version?!
However, one thing u may have not done?! I don't know... But have done the mission on the first island where u defend that crazy CIA agent & finally take off in a really crap plane? That the only way to get to the other island I know of?! If ur past that.... Sorry dude.... I'm not sure?! Someone can probably help u better than me?! Lol take it easy mate
I love this game. Ubisoft did a great job with the campaign and the multiplayer! 5 out of 5 Stars!
@shootemlootem just put out all the fire and dont rush you can rush but be carefull I passed it after about 9 trys it's hard I know but just try
Hi all,
I'm playing fc3 on ps3 but got stuck at killing Hoyt in the knife fight.
I get only 3 buttons, the X, the square, the O, but then no fourth button!
Each time Hoyt stabs me and I die.
Saw a clip where the player also at first got only 3 buttons but after reloading he got the fourth, a square again.
Still I only get 3 buttons
Anyone know what to do?
Thanks
1 Like Here's what I used:
Round 1- X, Square, O, Square
Round 2- Square, O
Round 3- Square, O, X
Round 4- Square, O, Square, O
Its all in the timing. Hitting key early better than late.
Hope that helps. Took me a few tries to get the timing.
Hi everyone, Im playing FC3 on PS3 but got stuck at killing Hoyt. In the knife fight I get the X button, ten the Square, and then the O button, then NO more buttons appear and each time I get knifed down by Hoyt.
Anyone know what to do?
I saw 1 clip where the player first also got 3 buttons ( xbox) and after he died and reloaded THAN got the 4th button.
Still I only keep getting 3 buttons?
What do you after paying good money and you don't complete a level the games over and your only half way through. Maybe that's why they call it Far Cry.
far cry 3
I've finished the game got all the found all things in the handbook but still dont have the last weapon onlocked and game says 99% done. Anyone tell me what i'm missing?
Could that knife have been sold before by any chance? Cuz I remember selling a ceremonial knife at a weapon dispenser but I hadnt given it a second thought, but when I go to Denis the mission does not seem to initiate. Or is it just a glitch?
Me saying games cant be blamed was a lil unexplained, games can be blamed if false or true, butThey cant be blamed for people actions in this context, they can be blamed for things that dont pertain to human behavioral actions , its the persons personal choice, oh and just in my opinion i love farcry 3 havent picked up another game and have had my mind buried in the game bcuz its so addicting lol
1998 was one of the best gaming years on record, and games will never be like they you to thats why their considered classics, just like cars and movies, they change with time and theres haters that always bash the new or the old and so on, the best way to look at things in my opinion is respect the originals and the glory they brought to the gaming industry and enjoy the new experiences game designers try to bring, i have high respect for the gaming community not only because im become a game designer and am an avid gamer, but because of how much ridicule and blame that news and others throw at us blaming us for the school shootings and numbing of violence in children, which even with all the testing and experiments we get put through always come up in conclusive, why? Because just like cars are responsible gor drunk drivers or guns arnt reposible for killing people, games are a form of entertainment and cant be blamed for anything, and we have ratings for a reason,the human pschy in each person is different in each person and different things can trigger a more violent ir numbing reaction, anyway enough rambling and going off topic, games go up and down, each person has preferences, so dont blame the game , its just not your thing, and play the game atleast through half in my opinions, tutorials and first few missions arnt a good first opinion in most cases if it starts off bad
hello gamers when farcry3 is completed will any gamer be playing
deadspace3 when it is released in feb.iam a fan of this game and i
would like to know is there any gamers who are fans of deadspace
It is an outstanding game and I'm astounded that the camera/stones glitch is not being discussed here ? having looked into it since glitching 2 days ago I have discovered posts related to this bug on forums from WEEKS ago ! it breaks the game for us affected by it as you cant continue the story without the camera SPOILER ALERT (scripted spotting of enemies )and you cant abandon this particular mission and at least enjoy the free roam which is terrific.
3 Like Does anyone else go shark hunting with a jet ski? You just ram into the thing then swim down and fetch the skins.
@mettcdn I like just swimming out and using the knife. makes you feel like more of a badass.
1 Like Please-Im playing this game on PS3.Am stuck in the Nostagia Boat mission.Cannot get past the guy who ambushes me underwater.I keep pressing the "MASH" button,and keep getting killed.Have gone thtough it 50 TIMES!! Its so frustrating with some games with these ridiculously hard sections,which seem like a fluke when u finally do it.Ruins the replay value of some games.Despite that,its a great game.Would appreciate a hint guys.Thank you.
@peterb2222 try firing on the Nostalgia from a gunboat w a machine gun. you can take out many of the enemy that way, including the sniper up top. Enjoy - the machine gun has limitless ammo. 8-)

2 Like If you can't pass something in Far Cry 3, lower the difficulty. If that doesn't work, you should give up gaming all together.....
Trainers are for losers.
2 Like I can't believe how many people are complaining about Ubisoft being on top of the patches. I remember when Black and White came out (with equal hype), it was almost unplayable, and Lionhead went on vacation and didn't release the first patch for months. You do realize they don't burn the dvds the day before launch, right?
1 Like I guess Im in the minority but I am extremly dissapointed in farcry3.The 1st mission where 3 guys drive u to an enemy camp and tell u to secure it.So I go running in proceding to chase the stupid enemy around the camp blowing each one easily away.(they dont seem to notice me running up to them,pointing my gun and blowing out their brains).Then my fellow soldiers come into camp praising me for a job well done and how I impressed them.The 2nd time I repeated this mission I stood at the crossroad to the camp and just fired off a few rounds.My fellow soldiers me to watch it with my gun, then the enemies came running down the road and while I hid in the woods, my soldiers killed all the enemy and once again praised me for my bravery and skill.How is this challenging?And its not very open world when I can only move around the mission area("mission will fail if u leave mission area").And I dont need big flashing dots to follow someone or to tell me where to go or who to kill.Too much handholding.(play"Black Mesa" and you will see what I mean.) I said I wouldnt buy farcry3, but I gave it a chance,and once again, Im dissappointed.
1 Like I have a right to complain;I paid over 50.00$ for this...game.As a matter of fact, I bought all 3 far cry gamesfor 50.00$ each(thats 150.00$ total for the math deficient) and I only really liked the 1st one(even with its flaws).And farcry3 is not as open world as games like: crysis1 ,stalker(all 3 games),elder scrolls - oblivian and skyrim,and others.
and the idea that they force me to install their crapware "uplay" to play the game. if I had known, I never would have bought the game!
Ur a tight ass mate!? U cannot complain about this game & there are one or two things that annoyed me?! But... U can easily overlook that fact!? 5/5 from me! FC3 is totally beyond FC2? Sorry, but do u expect from a game? Maybe pc 13+ is more to ur suiting?
@doktron means its not ur type , not every game is for every one . not all games are made according to me ,we have different choices in our life so its for different gamers. be happy good luck.
1 Like @doktron Have you played it past the first mission? You are judging the game on the first mission alone? This is one of the most open world games I have seen for a FPS and the mission area only applies when you have an objective on the go, not just exploring.
How do you think they sell a game to 10 year old kids that have hard to play game..and all the flashing signs to let yo no which way you can or can't find anything, or you leave the little stamp maps ( It seems to me they had to make close in fighting on the latest games to cope with small maps to run on consoles/ boy I remember the good old days when map size wasn't a problem when playing on a computer ) I played Far Cry original and still have more fun than the new # 2 they put in to try and make it better but in my view they broke the darn game..Now it's just a mindless game to make money off the original that was awesome to play. Only thing I like about the new game is the SHARK and it was sent over from the original to give the new one some substance LOL..........CHEERS
@doktron This is why I dont buy before I hear the sorrow of those who do. I was you once. I had trust in those that made games. This sadly is the trend of gaming gaming now. Like the fall of the Romans, the golden age is passed and we fearfully await the barbaric Huns to invade and finish the fat fuc*s that feed on what's left of what was once great.
@M3o5nster @Metroididiot @doktron We are not fan boys. We are true Gamers. We have no agenda other than to make games better for gamers. All other contrary comments can only be described as shills. Integrity died in this market in 2006 and all true Gamers await its return. Here's hoping doktron.....
4 Like @moc5 @Metroididiot @doktron . I try not to let the glory days ruin what fun times there are left to be had... There is such a thing as being overcritical, and it seems Dok has taken that route. What game has perfect A.I.?
That first camp, is just an intro to the structure of the camp system... All the other camps you can approach from any direction you wish and by any means. Want to hang-glide into the camp, land on a roof, then ambush a distracted foe from above? You can do that. The same can't be said for many out games out right now...
FC3 may not be the best game I've ever played, but it gets my vote for GOTY.
@Metroididiot @doktron Sho nuf!! *Some kind of nonsense trying to prove a pointless point like you.*...you are so cool .....uuuurrgghhh.
