So, You’ve Liberated Yara: Now What? A Post-Far Cry 6 Guide

You’ve stared down Antón Castillo, witnessed the complex ending (or endings!), and possibly even shed a tear (or two). Congratulations, you’ve completed the main story of Far Cry 6! But the revolution doesn’t have to end there. Yara is still brimming with activity, secrets, and challenges. This guide will walk you through the best things to do after you roll credits, ensuring you squeeze every last drop of guerilla goodness out of Far Cry 6.

A World of Post-Liberation Activities

The game doesn’t just end when the final cutscene plays. You are plopped back into Yara, ready for more action. The world is still dynamic, and there’s plenty to keep you occupied. Here are some of the most engaging post-game activities:

Insurgency: This is the biggest and arguably most important thing to tackle. Once a week (usually Mondays or Tuesdays, depending on your timezone), one region of Yara falls under Insurgency control. This means new FND bases, Special Operations locations, and revamped enemy patrols. Completing these Insurgency objectives earns you Moneda, which is used to purchase powerful equipment from Lola. Successfully reclaiming the region unlocks unique rewards and keeps the gameplay loop fresh.
Complete all Collectibles: Yara is filled with hidden treasures, cryptographic chests, USB songs, and rooster locations. Finding them all not only completes your in-game compendium but also unlocks valuable resources, weapons, and charms. Go back and meticulously explore areas you might have missed during the main story.
Yaran Stories: These are side missions that add depth and flavor to the world of Yara. Many are quirky, heartwarming, and offer a unique perspective on the lives of its people. Check your journal for any incomplete stories and embark on new adventures.
Grand Premio Races: For the adrenaline junkies, Grand Premio Races offer a thrilling way to test your driving skills. Unlock new vehicles and upgrades to compete in challenging races across Yara’s diverse landscapes. Winning these races provides valuable rewards.
Guerrilla Missions: These smaller, dynamic missions pop up across the map and provide opportunities for quick bursts of action. Completing them rewards you with resources and experience, helping you further upgrade your arsenal.
Treasure Hunts: These are self-contained puzzles and exploration challenges that lead to hidden caches of valuable loot. Treasure Hunts often involve solving riddles, navigating treacherous terrain, and fighting off enemy patrols.
Clear More Checkpoints and FND Bases: While you likely cleared many of these during the main story, there are probably some that you missed. Clearing these locations not only removes enemy presence but also unlocks fast travel points, making it easier to navigate the vast world of Yara.
Special Operations: Team up with other players or tackle these challenging missions solo. Special Operations test your combat and stealth skills in unique environments, offering substantial rewards in the form of Moneda.
Hunt the Mythical Animals: Yara is home to several mythical animals: Sanguinario the Jaguar, Venondiente the Crocodile, Mamutito the Hog, and the Perros Demoniacos. Finding and defeating these creatures is a significant challenge, but the rewards – powerful weapons and charms – are well worth the effort.
Experiment with Different Loadouts and Playstyles: Now is the perfect time to experiment with different weapons, Supremo backpacks, and Resolver weapons. Try new combinations and find what suits your playstyle best.
Increase your Challenge Level: if the gameplay is too easy, crank up the difficulty to max. You can also try some of the gameplay mods.
Explore Esperanza: The capital city, Esperanza, is a high-level end-game area that becomes fully accessible after completing the main story. While you visit it during the campaign’s final mission, now you have the freedom to explore it at your own pace, uncovering secrets and engaging in intense firefights.
Secret Ending Revisited: If you didn’t achieve the secret ending, you can still pursue it after beating the main story. All you need is a boat or plane and head to the edge of the map.
Co-op with Friends: Far Cry 6 is even more fun when played with friends. Team up and tackle Insurgencies, Special Operations, or simply explore Yara together.
Prepare for Future Content: Ubisoft often releases post-launch content for Far Cry games, including new missions, weapons, and challenges. By completing the activities listed above, you’ll be well-prepared for anything that comes your way. You can even use the knowledge and insights you gained to contribute to studies at places such as the Games Learning Society by sharing your gaming experiences with others and helping to enhance learning in educational settings. You can find out more about the organization at GamesLearningSociety.org.
