How to unlock the Caretaker Of Memory achievement in Far Cry 4 - Definitive Guide

The Lost Letters are the blue envelope icons on the map.

There are just enough Lost Letters to complete this achievement before unlocking the North part of the map.

Due to the relatively "remote" locations of the letters, I would recommend that you use the Buzzer (the single-seat helicopter) to get around the map.

In most cases, using the Buzzer is faster than Fast Traveling as you will still have to walk on foot in order to get to the Lost Letters and a lot of the letters are located towards the top of mountains. The Buzzer allows you to basically skip over having to climb the mountains.

Most all of the Lost Letters are located within caves so keep that in mind when looking around for them. If you see a Question Mark next to the envelope icon on the map, chances are that the Question Mark is a cave location you haven't discovered yet and the letter is inside that cave.

Upon collecting your 10th Lost Letter, the achievement will unlock.

You can track how many Lost Letters you've collected by checking the "Progress" tab in the menu.

Has anyone figured out if there's any way to trigger this? Mine should have popped, but hasn't yet and I have 12 letters.

Which maps would help out with this achievement? I just skimmed through the choices, but they all seem fairly terse with their descriptions, so didn't want to waste money on a map I didn't need.

I’ve just got 10 and the achievement didn’t pop for me. Tried hard resetting and still hasn’t worked. If anyone has any advice on how to get it to pop please let me know. I’ll keep this comment up to date if anything happens

Update 07/04/23 - after collecting the 10 and it not popping, I decided to power cycle my console (the thing where you have to hold the power button for 10 seconds) and uninstall/reinstall the game. The achievement still didn’t pop but, after playing the game and finding an 11th letter the achievement popped. I was also playing on Series X. Hopefully you don’t run into this issue but, if you do, try what I’ve detailed above and hopefully it pops :)

These are collectibles shown on the map by a blue envelope icon. Ideally you should purchase the collectible maps from a trading post to make this much easier.

The collectibles are found in backpacks. To find the exact location set a waypoint on the envelope icon. There are a total of 20 to find, but only 10 is required for the achievement.

You can buy a map for those. Its only 20 lost letters so its the collectible you searching for, others will get on your way. Letters was lost by an unlucky indie jones, they are often in caves, so dont mark the letter on your map but the nearest "?", it will be the entrance of the cave ;)

In order to meet the requirements to earn this trophy you will need to find 10 out of the 20 lost letters in the game, so you do not need to collect every single letter. Letters are located with an icon located on the map from the menu, or on your mini map (bottom right of the screen) where you're near one. These letter locations, however, will only be unlocked on the map if you purchase any of the "Items" maps. these are purchased from trading posts across Kyrat. They're found in the "Maps" section of the Buy & Customize menu. You can buy 4 maps from traders, they are:

  • South Kyrat Items
  • Mid-Kyrat Items
  • North Kyrat Items
  • North-East Kyrats Items


Each map will unlock all of the letter locations in that region. These letters in particular are probably the hardest to find in out of every collectible, as there are only 20 in the game. Letters are usually near a dead body and a purse. The letters are white and the purse is dark green.

The best method that we found is to mark the letter icon on the mini map. You'll have to purchase the maps for them of course. You can highlight the letter from the map on the menu. When you highlight it, you'll actually see the actual location of the letter that you've highlighted. Another way to spot letters is with the "Gadget Training" Skill. With this skill, you can mark collectibles if you tag them with your camera (). When you find your 10th lost letter, the trophy will unlock. You can check your collectibles progress by going to the "Progress" section of the menu.

There are only 20 letters scattered across different locations, I think you can find 10 without difficulty.

You can buy a map with all the collectibles of Kyrat on it (south, center, north and northeast), so this won't be a problem at all.

For all the cards you will need 920,000 rupees, which is not that much in this game.

There are a total of 20 lost letters in the game, to achieve this you need to collect only half. At the same time, collecting letters is the most difficult part of the collecting achievements. They are rare and are often hidden in the most difficult way. The search will be greatly simplified by a map with the coordinates of collectible items, which can be bought at the store. After purchase, on letters will be displayed on the card with a blue envelope symbol. How many letters have been collected at the moment can be seen in the menu in the “collection” section.
