Anyone Clear FarCry Yet

BadCharlie

Im stuck on Level Volcano. I open them big doors and just get the siht kicked out of me. Playing it on challenging and that leve is just to hard.

If anyone has completted the game how did you do the Volcano Level ?

What do you make of the game ? Did you enjoy it ?

jesus_thats_gre

I am on a level where you have to bring the nuke on a forklift into some big dome compound.. The game is pretty challenging alright, expecially the indoor levels containing the trigents. The outdoor levels with the mercs aint so bad as you can pick them off.

I shot a chair all the way down to the first sliding door so I could block it from closing. Then you just run inside and take out the big guys at your leisure. Great game, must play it again.

afaik the 1.2 patch should be out in the next few days, i'll start playing it again once that's out

I'm stuck on the same level too.
I tried dropping my MP5 at the door to stop it from closing, but it didn't work. Where the hell did you find a chair Brian?

CombatCow

Lol,i did it the exact same way aswell,there are 3 chairs in the ''gun cage'' just before you come to the door's that lead outside.You can move them by shooting them.The M60 and the OICW is best for taking out the big guys....just waste em as they come in the door.Fantastic game tbh.

I jumped off da boat and then swimmed over to the beach! then blast him from there with Rocket launcher! make sure to swim deep so he wont spot you!

BadCharlie

You also need to hit him 6 to 8 times with your rockets to kill him.

Also after i finally cleared the game today "it was one hell of a fight as i did not use the chair trick so the doors closed behind me" i started the game again. I had cleared the game with all my details and pictures settings to medium, As the game is so laggy. Anyways i was reading somewhere today that you should turn shadow to low "which i did" and turn all the rest up to as high as you want "i put them up to the max". And the game plays so much much better and looks class, it seems that the shadow was what was slowing down my computer.

Hope that helps yee enjoy the game even more.

Ye the helicopter part was the toughest part of the game I just went to the front of the ship and used the iron "box" (for the sail?, something like that) for cover you have to aim ahead of the chopper to be sure of hiting it. I hit it with 5 rockets on Normal before he went down: full on hits not "I think it hit him" hits - the rocket launcher could have been better (I would have loved the HL rocket launcher). As for the volcano as soon as you open the door crouch and take out the smaller monsters on both sides of you (the ones that can jump real high) using the sniper (they are on the platforms on either side) then three big guys start coming up to you from your right the first one you can machine gun down before he gets level with you the other two a combination of machine gun and shotgun takes them down. You just afto keep on moving back; after you sniped, get up go to your right kill the first big guys keep moving back/shooting them as the other two come up. Once they are finished there's just one more jumper and two more big guys to kill. They normally come out as you approach the big door opposite your entrance - you can snipe them no prob. Just dont rush down, that wont do, you have nearly finished the game - there are some dudes with rockets after you save which you can blow away with rockets and that's it. Fini.

you can jump off the boat?

yeah, ASAP jump off the big boat. There is a smaller (wrecked) boat behind the big one. Head to it for some cover, and pick the chopper off with the rocket launcher

Fecks sake, i cant get past the damn volcano bit either, ill have to try the chair trick :dunno:

BadCharlie

On Volcano i did not have the sniper gun either which i think would have made it so much easyer.

What i ended up doing was hiding beside the control panel for the 2nd door you just opened. Sometimes the big guys would walk past and you shoot them in the head. After you kill them 3 or 4 its easy.

To answer the original question – No. However, as I’ve been playing it a good bit lately, it’s a strong contender to be the only game I’ve actually finished in quite some time.

I finished it, the last area is a large open volcano with walkways over it (some are broken) is about as annoying and hard as anything ive ever played, its just over the top, smash-you-mouse kinda hard. When you have killed all the trigens, there is about a million army dudes with Rockets who are hiding. The end is a bit of a disapointment but the whole game is great.

That was on the 3rd hardest setting.

They are very easy to take out just empty 10 rockets into the concrete walkway and behind the blocks which they hide behind. It kills the whole lot of them, far easier then the trigens - the trigens didn't stand still and did attack you:D.

for an amazing game...

it had a S H I T E ending!!!

run into the room and shoot him with one shot?? a good anti-climax

apart from that....best game ive played in ages!

clearz

Yep completted it in 3 days on the Vetran (Second Hardest) setting. I wish now I played it on realistic. Nobody could even come near me for those three days. The last game to do that to me was Half Life. I also agree with the last post 'What a ****E ending'

Oh yea Does anyone know WTF the Statistics Mode is about when you complete it.

For the last volcano bit you have to take out those small annoying jumping trigens first 'cause they'll eat your health up from long distances while you're trying to fight the fat rocket launcher trigens. You get a bit of time before the first big trigen comes at you so try to snipe as many of them as you can. The sniper rifle is essential here I don't know if i could have managed it without it. Was playing on challenging mode.

jaggeh

my load out was
OICW, M60, Sniper and a rocket launcher that i had saved from waaay back at the gate armory.

fatties take two snipe headshots to kill, the jumpies are the biggest pain in the ass, especially on realistic as you lose about 60% health if they hit.

finishing the game on realistic is satisfying even with the shoddy end sequence.

clearz

The way I done it was to take advantage of a bad example of AI. There are two doors leading into the volcano core. The first closes and locks when you enter and the second will open and close when you go near it. Go out a small bit from the second door and let ONLY one of the rocket dudes see you then run back in and hide in the left cornor between the doors. Now the rocket dude will come right up to the other side of the door. Get the door to open but make sure he cant see you. If you can see a small bit of his arm or something keep shooting him there and he will happily stand there until he dies. Repeat with the other ones.

For the jumping guys use the sniper rifil and goggles from the ledge beside the door. If you zoom in using the goggles you can just about see them through fog.

<nods> Yep exactly how I did it those jumping w*nk*rs were tougher to take out then the Fat Boys the one at the very back was jumping everywhere - as soon as you trained your sights on him he was off! - they also had VERY good aim I was often killed by them without even leaving the entrance alcove:rolleyes:. Some dude through thick fog, 1/2 a klick away, can - with an SMG - hit you in the head :ninja: YE! Right!.

MisterAnarchy

Dreadfully buggy game.

I doubt its buggy, you probably just dont have enough ram.
Still havent finished it yet tho

Big Nelly

All my mates have it and not one has had a problem....think the buggy part is it the system cant run it!! need alot of hardware!! class game!!
