Welcome to the Far Cry 3 Classic Trophy Guide! This a remaster of the original Far Cry 3 for PS4. The Co-Op Mode has been removed (and the Co-Op trophies and trials along with it). The trophy Needle Exchange is now silver instead of bronze. This version has fewer trophies than the original PS3 version. The graphics have also received an upgrade. Far Cry 3 is an open world first-person shooter that takes place on a group of islands. The game starts on the northern island. To reach the southern island you have to progress in the story. Everything was designed in a very user friendly way that will allow you to find all collectibles and side quests without much help. All the information you need is shown on the world map. In the top right corner of the map are coordinates that will be incorporated in this trophy guide. The fast travel system allows you to move from one important location to another. This feature will save a lot of time on your way to platinum! There are a total of 12 story related trophies and many others will come naturally. There are no difficulty requirements for any trophies, so feel free to start your journey on easy.
This step is simple. Play through the story on easy difficulty and have fun. Along the way you should try to activate all radio towers to uncover the map completely. This will make the collectible hunt easier later on. Maps for all collectible locations are available at the general store after activating the radio towers. Buy these maps as soon as you can.
Some skills require certain combat actions to be unlocked. Take care of the following requirements:
Also watch out forNever Saw it Coming. This trophy is quite tricky if you do not do it during one of the main story missions. Please check out the trophy explanation in the guide below. A good place to get this early is in the 6th mission “The Medusa’s Call”.
Note:
You can reset outposts to mop up missing trophies. To reset outposts you need to pause the game and go to options > gameplay > reset outposts. This will allow you to farm kills for certain skills and trophies even after beating the story.
After the story is over you will enter free roam mode and get the chance to complete all the things that you didn’t do earlier.
Complete all the remaining miscellaneous / combat related trophies while capturing the outposts.
After activating all radio towers, get the collectible maps from the general store and collect 60 relics, 20 letters and 20 memory cards.
Most of the side quests can be ignored. Play at least one quest of each type and complete 3 “Supply Drop” & 3 “Wanted Dead” quests to unlock the “Adrenaline Surge” & “Dealmaker” skills.
After this is done you should be able to buy all skills. If you should still need XP you can keep doing side quests.

Lure and kill a predator.
Common predators in Far Cry 3 are Crocodiles, Sharks, Tigers, Leopards, Komodos etc. Most animals are shown on your map when you zoom in. Look for the symbol of one of these animals and go to that area. Keep running around until you are attacked by a predator and kill it. Crocodiles are not displayed on the map, but they can be found in most rivers. You can either shoot the animal while it’s chasing you or stab it while it’s latched onto you.
Hunt and skin a rare animal.
Rare animals can be found during “Path of the Hunter” quests. To play these quests you need to liberate Outposts. The spawn area of the animals will be shown during the quests. You can see a red “Rare” stamp on the hunter posters if the quest features rare animals.
One of these quests can be started at the coordinates X: 428.9, Y: 694.3 (see to right corner of the world map).
Craft 5 upgrades for your equipment.
Craft 25 syringes.
Craft a special syringe.
Special syringes are unlocked by collecting relics. SeeArcheology 101for more information on how to find relics. After 30 relics have been found you unlock the first special syringe recipe “Untouchable”. To craft it you need 2 white, 5 green and 5 blue leaves.
Find the lost Hollywood star.
The lost Hollywood star can be found at the coordinates X: 619.7, Y: 559.4 (see top right corner of the world map). This is at the beach of one of the northern islands. You can go there shortly after the game starts. Stay at the beach and look for two dead people that are hanging on a tree. There is a man buried in the sand and you can only see his head. Go to the buried man and press .
Kill 50 enemies with the flamethrower (Single Player only).
Kill 4 enemies simultaneously with one explosion (Single Player only).
Get an explosive weapon from a weapon locker or general store. The RPG-7 rocket launcher works best. You can either buy it or activate radio towers to get it for free. Now go to the Welshore Wrecker’s House Outpost (coordinates X: 437.9, Y: 795.0) and make some noise until the enemies activate the alarm. Wait for the reinforcement Jeeps to arrive, but keep at least one Outpost guard alive. In the second Jeep (the one without the turret) is usually 4 soldiers. Shoot this vehicle with your rocket launcher before the soldiers get out. Alternatively you can also plant some C4 and group up some enemies, then blow it up. If it doesn’t work on your first try simply get yourself killed and you should respawn somewhere around the Outpost and can try it again. Just don’t kill the last Outpost guard before getting the trophy.
Fully distract 25 enemies with rocks (Single Player only).
. The enemy will be fully distracted when he walks to the location where the stone landed. Do this to 25 different enemies. This trophy should come naturally while playing through the main story because there are some stealth missions where you are not allowed to get detected. Throwing stones makes it easy to sneak past enemies. You can also farm the 25 distractions at outposts. After liberating all outposts there are still enemies at the coordinates X: 412.4, Y: 729.5. Some people have reported that they needed much more than 25 distractions. Don’t worry, the trophy is not bugged. Just keep distracting enemies and it will unlock sooner or later.
Kill an enemy with a takedown from above from a glider, zipline or parachute (Single Player only).
First of all you will have to buy the “Death from Above” skill in the Heron skill tree. This will allow you to perform a stealth takedown when jumping on enemies. Jumping down while using a zipline is the easiest way. The glider or parachute methods are rather tricky and unpredictable. Ziplines can be found during many main story missions, but are rarely found near enemies in the open world. The earliest chance to get this during the story is in the 6th mission “The Medusa’s Call”.
No matter where you do it, the strategy is always the same: throw some stones to lure nearby guards under the zipline. Use the zipline when the guards are in place and detach when you are above them. The kill will then be performed automatically, no additional buttons need to be pressed. If you’ve completed the story then start a new game and do it in the “Medusa’s Call” mission.
Kill an enemy with the Repair Tool (Single Player only).
First of all you will need to get the Repair Tool from a weapon locker or general store. You can either buy it or activate radio towers to get it for free. At the general store it can be found in the section for “Special” objects. Once you have the Repair tool equipped, search for some enemies near an Outpost or play one of the side- or main missions. Get close to an enemy and burn him for 2-3 seconds with the Repair Tool from close range.
Kill a target from 70m or more with the bow (Single Player only).
First of all you will need to get the Recurve Bow from a weapon locker or general store. You can either buy it or activate radio towers to get it for free. Also buy and equip the Markman Sight. It’s a very useful attachment for long range shots. Now search for some enemies and put a marker on their location on the world map. Walk away until the marker shows a distance of 70+ meters and take the shot while the enemy is standing still. The Welshore Wrecker’s House Outpost (coordinates X: 437.9, Y: 795.0) is near the starting area of the game and one of the best locations to get this done early.
Tag 25 enemies using the camera (Single Player only).
. You will have the camera from the beginning. This will allow you to track the movement of enemies. If there is an enemy in sight of the camera he will be tagged immediately. You will know that an enemy was tagged if he has an orange symbol above his head. You will even be able to see their movements through walls.
Dive more than 60m (Single Player only).
Search for a dark blue part of the ocean on your map (e.g. at the coordinates X: 709.1, Y: 835.6). These are the deepest parts of the ocean. You need to activate radio towers to uncover the map. After reaching such a point in the ocean you need to dive down until you hit the ground. Click the left stick to swim faster.
