Breaking Bad reference

Memory Card 16 talks about formulas for cooking meth. The pirates talk about losing business to a new formula of meth coming out of New Mexico. This is a reference to the AMC TV show Breaking Bad, which takes place in New Mexico. It is about a terminally ill school teacher who cooks his own brand of blue crystal meth.

Crocodile Locations

Be careful when you come across groups of lotus flowers that are found in the rivers and waterways as crocodiles can usually be found there. They will leave you alone and not attack unless you get too close. If you are attacked by a crocodile you can kill them with one shot using the Recurve Bow.

Diving Instructions

To dive into the water (rather than just jumping and flailing around), you need to press jump once to leap off wherever you are standing, then press it again in midair. This will execute a flawless dive.

If you are wondering how to dive underwater, simply look down and move in that direction. The water has to be deep enough for you to be able to go underwater.

Easy outpost liberation

Use the following trick to easily liberate outposts without being detected. When you find an outpost that has a caged animal (for example, a bear or tiger), find a good hiding location inside the outpost with a good view of the cage, but far from it. Shoot any weapon with a suppressor at the cage. Make sure no guards are close to you when you shoot. Eventually the door to the cage will break open, and the animal inside will leave. All the guards and guard dogs will turn their attention to that animal. The freed animal will then "liberate" the outpost for you. All you have to do is remain hidden until all the enemies are dead. Doing this twice will allow you to to unlock the Ninja Step skill, which makes you very silent. It is also recommended to scan the entire area with your camera first so you can see the progress of the animal when you free it.

Finding Objectives

If you go to the highest mountains and take out your camera and zoom in you will see lots of bright lights as you glance around. These are your objectives lighting up.

Goat Hunting

If you don't feel like you are finding enough goats on Far Cry 3's epic map, here are a couple of pointers. The goats tend to congregate around one area, particularly to the northeast of where you start, roughly X:442, Y:761 are the co-ordinates. Look for a cave that they are often spotted near.

Also, remember that once you climb the radio tower in a particular region, all of the animal types in the area are shown on the map, indicated by white silhouettes.

Hidden Video Sequences

You will be able to view hidden video scenes if you take one of the 'eat me' berries whenever you travel to the grotto underneath the mansion.

How to Get Shark Skin

To get shark skins you potentially have to come face to face with one of nature's most fearsome predators. Below are a few tips for making these encounters as painless as possible:

The safest way is to get a boat or jet ski and take it out into the water. Wait for sharks to come round the boat, then shoot them from your position. You can then go into the water to harvest the skins.

If you feel like being more hands-on, dive off the edge of the boat and let them come at you. They sometimes grab you which triggers as QTE (where you press buttons to complete actions) and these, if done successfully, will end with you being able to skin the shark.

Finally, try using your camera and scanning the ocean with it. You should be able to 'tag' sharks and then head out in a boat to find them - this will make it so you don't have to hang around out at sea waiting for them to come to you.

Hunting Strategies

If you are trying to hunt certain animals, particularly when required to kill them just with a Bow and Arrow, there are a few tactics you can try to employ:

The game is very large, meaning there are frequently occasions when animals will 'glitch' or get trapped in an area and not be able to move. If fighting something like the Black Panther, you can try to get it to glitch before shooting it with your arrows - it's a tough fight otherwise.

For more docile prey, try getting them between you and the ocean. Then, fire some shots into the group and they will run away from you, into the sea, and drown themselves.

No enemy or wildlife

During a story mission several hours into the game, you will ride in an airplane. When you jump out of the plane, you will have a wingsuit equipped. Instead of going towards the mission objective, go to any of the towers and relic or loot locations and start unlocking them, as there will be no enemies or wildlife on the map.
