Go on a wild trip
Far Cry 3 had some pretty wild moments. Like, remember when Vaas was dancing around on the stripper pole? Good stuff. Far Cry 4 will have some crazy segments as well, but these are a little more grounded to the core of the game.
Scattered around Kyrat are hidden tankas that, once discovered, allow the main character to meditate and travel to Shangri-La to relieve the life of a legendary warrior. You’ll be transported to a surreal world with floating islands and you are equipped with only a bow and arrow to take on the enemies of these environments.
Oh, and you have a tiger that you can command to attack others. The tiger can also turn invisible.
There will be a handful of these levels spread across Kyrat. Completing them will give you new skills for the skill tree, but let’s face it, you’re largely going to do these levels to tell a tiger whose face to chew off over and over again.
In this particular we had to go free a bell of enlightenment that had been tied down by large chains. This is a fantasy realm, and the path to the bell is spread across floating islands. You’ll have to go through teleporting doors to reach other islands, and along the way are these wild-looking enemies.
For the most part you can take them down with just your bow and arrow. There will be enemies that can’t be killed with arrows, so you’ll have to use your tiger buddy to distract these enemy types, giving you a chance to sneak up behind them and drive a knife into their skulls.
So yeah, not much to it. A fun diversion and I’m hoping each instance of these tanka missions will be diverse enough to warrant actually playing through them all. It will get old fast, as much fun as it is was to command a ninja tiger.
Oh, and rhinos confirmed to bring about the pain in Far Cry 4.
