PlotEdit

This article is a stub. You can help the Far Cry Wiki by expanding it.

The game begins with Jason and his friends partying during their vacation on a then-unknown, presumably uninhabited island. As the frame zooms out, it is revealed as a video recording being shown to you (Jason) on a cell phone by Vaas Montenegro, the pirate leader of Rook Island who captured Jason and his brother Grant, planning to sell them as slaves to Hoyt, Vaas' employer. Grant and Jason manage to escape their cells with a phone and other supplies, such as Jason's camera. But just as they escape the camp, Vaas shoots Grant in the neck and kills him right in front of Jason. Jason narrowly escapes Vaas and his men, after being knocked unconscious and landing in water, he is awakened by Dennis Rogers chiselling a tattoo on his arm, and goes outside to the Amanaki Town. Jason is given money and told to purchase a gun, a 1911 pistol. After making his purchase, Jason is sent to reactivate a Radio Tower to gain a larger view of Rook Island, and then is told to go "Master the Jungle" by hunting boars and gathering plants. When he collects the desired plants as told to by Dennis, he crafts them into usable items, such as a loot rucksack.

The phone he stole from a table while escaping then begins to ring, and a pirate then begins talking about how he has one of the female prisoners that were captured, and is taking them to a nearby outpost, all while thinking he is talking to the original owner. Jason realises his friend is in danger, so he, Dennis and some other Rakyat members go and liberate the outpost, to find that she is not there. Dennis then tells Jason that Dr. Alec Earnhardt has one of his friends that was captured, so he travelled over there to find out it was Daisy, who escaped the convoy Jason tried to intercept. During her escape however, she was cut by a poisonous plant, and needed medicine urgently. Dr. Earnhardt then sends Jason off to an underwater cave to get special mushrooms needed for the medicine. After receiving the strange affects of the mushrooms and later collecting them, Jason brings the them to Alec, who makes the medicine and gives it to Daisy, who is awake. He asks the Doctor if he can take his friends here when he finds them, and Earnhardt reluctantly agrees. Jason then begins his long journey to find his friends and leave the island.

After searching for his friends, Jason is eventually captured by a pirate and is brought to an abandoned hotel with Liza Snow, his girlfriend, and Oliver Carswell, his friend. Vaas gives a brief and explosive speech to Jason about how he killed someone for his sister, Citra, before pouring gasoline all around and on Jason. Vaas then lights a match, tells Jason that it is beautiful to die for someone you love, and throws the match, igniting the gasoline, while taking away Oliver. However, Jason breaks free with Liza and they escape to a truck. Jason kills several pursuing pirates while a terrified Liza drives them to safety. Jason then brings Liza to a cave beneath Dr. Alec Earnhardt's house, where Daisy is also hiding from the pirates. Jason is then told by Dennis that if he wants the strength to defeat Vaas, he must come to Citra's temple in the jungle. Jason is then told by Citra that he must "Bring me what has been lost" and hands Jason a potion. Jason is encouraged by Dennis to drink the brew, which he does. The strange brew brings about a hallucination in which Jason falls from the sky onto an unknown island and follows a man in white to a small village. He enters a bar which suddenly turns into a temple under the sea. Jason walks across a rope bridge while watching scenes involving him and his friends. A man, actually Bambi "Buck" Hughes, groping at his groin area while standing over Keith Ramsay while saying "I'll take ya bloody if ya like, I like ma meat rare", and a scene showing Vaas pressing a gun to Jason's head while shouting "You are so close to the end, COME ON! END IT!."

Missions Edit

There are several types of missions in Far Cry 3, similar to those of Far Cry 2.

• Story Missions — These missions are to do with the storyline. They advance the player through the game.
• Side Missions — The player can talk to locals and Rakyat members and help them with their problems, leading to some interesting rewards.
• Path of the Hunter — These missions are unlocked by liberating Outposts. They ask you to hunt animals for their skin or avenge people they killed. Some animals can be used in crafting.
• Supply Drop — These missions are also unlocked by liberating outposts. You must drive through markers on a quadbike or other vehicle to deliver medical supplies in the time provided.
• Trial of the Rakyat — These survival-based missions are found on large red-coloured rocks. The trials force you to gun your way through waves of enemy troops within a time limit, with a fixed set of weapons.
• Wanted Dead — In this mission you must find a pirate commander and kill him with either your machete or takedown. You can use any weapons to kill the remaining pirates.
