Far Cry 4 Review – A Deranged Playground Of Brutality & Freedom

A deranged playground of brutality and freedom that builds perfectly on the solid foundations set by its predecessor. A worthy entry to the franchise and a must buy for any open-world gamers



There’s a couple of things to remember that will greatly aid your hunting efforts:

  • Killing an animal with explosive or fire damage will not yield a pristine skin. It will be damaged and useless. However, this only applies if the final blow on the animal was explosive or fire based. For example: You can hit a rhino with some grenades, as long as the final hit is a knife or bullet
  • Killing an animal with a knife, throwing knife or arrow will yield twice the amount of hides
  • For aggressive animals, such as Bengal Tigers, find a location that spawns the animal and take a Mounted Gun Truck with you. Then simply use Bait to lure an animal out. It usually attracts the animal from that particular area.

You are only able to see the requirements for the next stage of upgrades, you cannot see all the requirements past that. Here is a list of all the items you will need to max each item in the crafting tree.

Above is a selection of slides showing the rough area you will be using. Notes: Remember to check water whenever you pass by a water source for a large fish. Remember to use bait as soon as you reach the general vicinity of animal spawns to easily attract the skins you need.

  • Step 1:You don’t have much room at the start so you want to improve your loot bag first. Head East of Banapur and collect 5x Sambar skins. Craft your next loot bag
  • Step 2: Travel further East. If you own the Khilana Bazaar Outpost there will always be 2-3 Pigs spawned nearby. Simple Fast Travel twice to same location and gather 3x Pig skins.
  • Step 3: Head South West and collect 6x Rhino skins. You can also find the 4x Demon Fish Skins here in the lake (Many thanks xScottux)
  • Step 4: Head North West gather 4 Bharal skins
  • Step 5: North for 4x Wild Boar skins and then East for 5x Dhole skins
  • Step 6: East again for 3x Assasm Macaque skins and 7x Malayan Tapir skins
  • Step 7: Fast Travel back to Khilana Bazaar
  • Step 8: Grab the nearby Buzzard (helicopter type vehicle)
  • Step 9: Head South East and collect 4x Clouded Leopard skins
  • Step 10: South East again for 7x Bengal Tiger skins
  • Step 11: Short distance East for 6x Tibetan Wolf skins and then North West for 3x Honey Badger skins (Honey Badgers spawn during night)
  • Step 12: Fly North East over the river and collect 5x Yak skins
  • Step 13: North for 8x Bear skins
  • Step 14: From this point on it’s just finding Snow Leopards. They are not common until North East Kyrat. Snow Leopards can be seen during a campaign mission on the Himalays. Will update once I have more information
  • Step 15: Congratulations! You’ve maxed normal crafting. Now all you need is to attack the correct Outposts and complete the Kyrat Fashion Show quests for rare skins.

For Demon Fish- Just South-East of Banapur (The first village you come to in the game) there is a huge lake with the Army Supply Flight (It’s on the lake floor) unknown location question mark in the middle. This lake is filled with them =)
