How to unlock the Dead Letters achievement in Far Cry 3 - Definitive Guide

Hi Guys

Here is my Solution for this Achievement.

In the Game are 20 Letters to collect on both Island. You can buy at the Shop / Vendor for each Area a Map with the Locations for $500.

When you buy a Map, the Locations show on your Map with a Letter Symbol.

Some Letters are easy to find but some a little tricky. I show you all 20 in my Video. In the Video i collect the first Island from left to right and the 2nd Island from right to left.

Here are my Timelinks with Ingamenumber and Coordinates. The Links not working directly here but in the Youtube Description you can click to the Letters directly.

Great complete guide, The addition of being able to filter the video to what your looking for was a good call, Thanks.

So glad you put the coordinates in the solution because for some reason the last one wasn't showing up on the map and only appeared when I was a meter or so away from it. Nice one!

Hey everyone,
For the people who like a visual but don't want to scroll through video's, I have found a very useful website. I did not contribute to this image-guide so all credits go to Nemdan (the writers username on the website listed below. The guide says you don't have to spend $500 on the maps available at shops, but I'm recommending buying them anyway for a more accurate location of the collectible.

Good luck!

I usually love using written guide for collectibles, but I can't help but think a visual aide is sooo much easier for these. Here is the video I used:

There's a total of 20 Letters of the Lost scattered about the islands. The Letters normal locations are in bunkers or near old artillery sites.

As you play through the game and unlock new Radio Towers, you'll notice a Letter icon on you map. These are the Letters of the Lost. You can also buy Treasure Maps from stores to help you unlock their locations. Now simply locate and grab all 20 Letters from the dead bodies for the achievement to unlock.

Lost Letters are typical collectibles in Far Cry 3. They are shown with a symbol on your world map. There are 20 of them in total. You can keep track of your progress in the Handbook tab of the pause menu.

To reveal all their locations you must activate all of the radio towers and buy the item maps from a shop. All maps together cost $4000. Once the maps are bought you can zoom in on your in-game world map and see the exact locations.
