How to unlock the Rock Always Wins achievement in Far Cry 3 Classic Edition - Definitive Guide

Just like in the original this can be grinded on one Person.

Hide somewhere and distract someone with the rock. Let them investigate the Area and wait until they say something like "it was nothing" and let them Return to their position.

This counts as one distraction so rinse and repeat.

I killed the enemy's to soon when playing the campingn so i was missing about 9

Depending on your playstyle this can come natural by progression.

Let me no if there are any questions :D

Can you check progression anywhere? Can’t find it in statistics unless I’m being blind. Feels like I’ve done a lot more than 25.

I was wondering the same thing @Bri3r. I feel like I have far surpassed 25 distractions, but couldn't find any tracking either.

There is no way to track it unfortunately. i think if you distract someone while liberating an outpost it is possible that your progress resets if you die in the attempt.

If you’ve already completed every other achievement, you can reset the outposts by going to options – gameplay - reset outposts. I grinded this achievement at the lonely shore way outpost, coordinates 258, 522. I’m sure most other ones would work, but I was able to sit up on the mountain to the west and throw rocks down to distract five guys at a time.

I have no idea why this is the last achievement most people unlock, when for me it was the first. Early in the prologue/tutorial you will be taught how to throw rocks. Just keep throwing rocks 25 times before continuing on.

- Can all be done on the same guy
- Must FULLY distract, which means waiting till they say "It was nothing" and start to walk back.

Easiest to get this is by doing the WANTED Dead quest at Valsa Docks. The one that is worth 300$ and is located on a very small island at X:370.0 Y: 754.4
Hide in the tall grass at X366.6 Y:757.7. At the other side are two soldiers standing: One on the left, and one on the right. Throw in a rock in the water at the soldier on the left, wait until the soldier goes checking, wait until he returns to his original position. Rinse and repeat until you get the achievement. The greatest benefit of this location is you cannot be spotted by any of the soldiers. At all. rock

I have found this easiest to get under the "lost expedition" mission on the map. Once you enter the "bunker" you will be on a platform with enemies further away. Tag the enemy's so you can see them. Than use the rock to distract them. Make sure to complete the distraction cycle before throwing another. The won't see you up on the platform, and can't come after you.

To distract an enemy, make sure you're within distance and press  to throw a rock. If the rock lands within the right area, the enemy NPC will get distracted and walk to the spot where the rock landed. You now need to make sure that you do not attack him and let him walk away. Killing him before he starts to walk off, will void the distraction and not count towards achievement. Through the whole game you should be distracting enemies to get them into vulnerable positions, so this should unlock in no time.

Take note that some enemies like the snipers sometimes do not get distracted. Also, each enemy has about 3 distractions before they start to look elsewhere in the area. So don't throw all 3 in quick succession.

This is the tactic. The trophy can be obtained on one enemy in about 10 minutes. We find an outpost where there are not very many enemies and mark them all using the camera in order to control their movements. More often than not, there is one or more that are just standing still. We hide not far from the one most convenient for you and attract his attention by throwing one stone. He approaches this place, checks if everything is in order there and leaves. We wait until he takes the position again and repeat this 25 times. It is advisable to throw the stone closer to the enemy so that he spends less time walking back and forth.

On the island under Earnhardt's house there is a bay where there are always enemies, even after clearing all the outposts, he threw his pebbles there.

I got the trophy very easily and quickly. On the right side of the map there is a small island with an outpost. We kill a sniper in stealth. And from the roof we throw a stone at the flagpole. Moreover, a boat with two people sails there. Received it very quickly.

In the mission, when on the second island you go to steal a recruit's suit, you will go through a cave in stealth. There, near the end, there will be 4 guards (2 flamethrowers, 2 regular ones). You throw a pebble between them, they react and you are counted as 4 opponents at once. Done in 5 minutes.

Until he kicks your stone, so to speak, don’t even throw the next one:
We throw it, he looks at it and leaves, then we throw it again.
Do this trophy only after all outposts have been reset, since there is a patrol of 2 people walking. I won this trophy with them. If you throw stones at outposts, the enemies become horrified and automatically start running towards you. To kill !

A simple option: distract the dogs, they move faster. I chased two dogs at once on the second map (Real Air Travel). I found a hill and threw stones.
