Far Cry 5's page

  1. The Warrant

    You were a junior deputy sent to arrest Joseph Seed, leader of Eden's Gate in Hope County, Montana. You could refuse to handcuff him; if you waited, Sheriff Whitehorse withdrew your team and the story ended there. If you arrested Joseph, his followers brought down your helicopter. Your colleagues were captured, and Dutch sheltered you before helping you organize resistance.

  2. Holland Valley

    You chose which of Joseph's three regions to tackle first. In Holland Valley, John Seed forced confessions through torture and held Deputy Hudson prisoner. You escaped his ceremony at Fall's End with Pastor Jerome's help, then pursued John until he was fatally wounded. You took his bunker key, freed Hudson and other captives, and escaped as the bunker blew apart.

  3. Henbane River

    You confronted Faith Seed around the Henbane River, where the drug Bliss turned people into obedient followers. Under her influence, Marshal Burke killed resistance leader Virgil Minkler, let cultists into the jail, and shot himself. You fought Faith inside her hallucinatory world and defeated her. After her death, you rescued Sheriff Whitehorse and destroyed her operation in the bunker.

  4. Whitetail Mountains

    You joined Eli Palmer's Whitetail Militia against Jacob Seed. Jacob repeatedly captured you and conditioned you to kill when you heard Only You. What seemed another training hallucination ended with you shooting Eli inside the militia's refuge. You then hunted Jacob down and killed him. With his key, you entered his bunker and brought Deputy Pratt out alive.

  5. Joseph's Offer

    You returned to Joseph's compound after all three heralds were dead. He had your allies under the influence of Bliss and held Whitehorse, Hudson, and Pratt hostage. He blamed you for the bloodshed and offered a final choice: take those three colleagues and leave, or resist him. What happened to you and Hope County depended on that decision.

  6. Walking Away

    If you accepted Joseph's offer, you left the compound with Whitehorse, Hudson, and Pratt while your other allies stayed behind. Whitehorse intended to reach Missoula and bring back the National Guard. Then he switched on the radio. Only You began playing, your vision blurred, and the scene cut to black. You never saw what happened inside the vehicle afterward.

  7. Resisting JosephThe ending

    If you resisted, you freed your allies from Bliss and subdued Joseph. A nuclear explosion interrupted his arrest. You fled toward Dutch's bunker with Joseph and your colleagues, but crashed on the way. You awoke bound inside the bunker; Dutch and the colleagues in your vehicle were dead. Joseph had survived with you and declared you his new child as nuclear war unfolded outside.
