How to unlock the Exorcist achievement in Far Cry 4 - Definitive Guide

This is another collectable achievement, thankfully you only have to collect 15 masks out of a total of 55. For this all you have to do is buy maps (the costs range from 20K to 120K, so I would buy the cheaper maps) at the tradings posts (found at outposts or randomly by passing by trading Sherpa's). Once you have done this, you just need to go to where it is on the map, now you will come across a search radius. The easiest way to find the masks is to unlock the gadget training skill (you can get this from the start, it is a first tier ability). This will allow you to see where the masks are by looking in camera and looking around the search radius (through the camera). The box in the middle of the screen will go green and it will say "set waypoint", the waypoint will not stay up but you just need to walk toward it with your camera out until you are close enough to see it.

Some of the masks may be below or above you, if this happens just find a way up/down. Also the camera may prompt you to "set waypoint" at other unique surroundings such as other collectables, so you may see multiple different prompts for other items.
I hope this helps you :)

Also, thanks to "Brian Beer God", some of the masks will require you too shoot them as they are either too high or just unreachable, this is why the achievement says remove or Destroy 15 masks.

+1 Thanks for the information about the camera. Even with the skill unlocked I had no idea it worked that way. I have at least four I can now go back to and nab that I couldn't find when I first came across them.

Also, the music/chant gets louder the closer that you are to it.

You may want to add that you can (and will need to) shoot some of them. No idea why I didn't realize this til way after.

Wish I could upvote this for the camera tip, I'm playing the 360 version and the solution for that is completely worthless.

This requires you to collect only 15 of the "masks of Yalung" out the total of 55. If you want to see how many you have and what rewards go with it, go to the progress tab on the pause menu and scroll down to the collectibles section.

Once you buy a few maps from the traders/outposts in the game, they will show on your main map. (I suggest buying all of the maps early on, as money is very plentiful in this Far Cry and the collectibles can be their own source of income and EXP).

You can try to go to one of the masks and search the entire area for it, but some of them are very well hidden. There is a minor exploit that makes this MUCH easier. Before you get too close to the mask and it shows the search area, go to your map. Select the mask as your waypoint. Now when you look at it outside of the map, the waypoint will show you exactly where it is.

For example if it is in a building about 50m away, the way point will show you exactly where in the building it is. The unfortunate thing is that when you get closer to the search area, that waypoint will disappear.

You can buy a map for those. At the spot you need to search the mask by sound in the blue circle of your radar. Often the mask is on the head of a dead body. If the mask is so high for cn_S it, just shoot it. With 5 more, 20 masks, you will get a special weapon.

In order to meet the requirements to earn this trophy, you will need to collect 15 out of the 55 masks in the game so you do not need to collect all of them. Masks are located with a icon located on the map from the menu, or on your mini map (bottom right of the screen) where you're near one. These mask locations, however, will only be unlocked on the map if you purchase any of the "Masks" 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 Masks
  • Mid-Kyrat Masks
  • North Kyrat Masks
  • North-East Kyrats Masks


Each map will unlock all of the mask locations in that region. Each mask also looks the same, with a bright red face and it glows white. When you're near a mask, you will also hear a chanting noise.


(The image above shows a Red Mask found across Kyrat).


You will also know when you're near one as you'll see a blue circle on your mini map. The best method that we found, is to mark the mask icon on the mini map. You'll have to purchase the maps for them of course but once you get near a mask, the mask will disappear on your mini map and turn blue. When this happens, back away from the area until the mask reappears on the mini map, then highlight the mask icon again from the map on the menu. When you highlight it the second time, you'll actually see the actual location of the mask. Another way to spot masks is with the "Gadget Training" Skill. With this skill, you can mark collectibles if you tag them with your camera (). When you collect your 15th Mask, the trophy will unlock. You can check your collectibles progress by going to the "Progress" section of the menu. For the ones in the water, you can hover above the blue circle in a Buzzer and simply fire a grenade launcher into the water below. Most of the time the mask will get destroyed so this makes it much easier, because you don't need to swim about looking for it.

In total, there are much more masks in the game than are needed for a trophy: 55 pieces.

For a trouble-free search, you can buy a map indicating the Masks of Yalung (south, center, north and northeast of Kyrat), so this will not be a problem at all. There is plenty of money in the game.

In addition, for each mask you will be given 1 mercenary token, which you need to call them to help you.

Let me add that if you are standing next to the mask and cannot see it, move away a little and put a mark on the map on it and by looking at the mark you can see where it is located at the top or bottom or in which corner.

When you are in the blue zone where the mask is, the closer you are to it, the louder the sound. Turn up the game volume and you'll find it right away.

The masks are hidden more cunningly than propaganda posters. There are a total of 55 of them in the game.

Here is a video with the location of 15 masks, you never know:

The search will be greatly simplified by a map indicating collectible items, which can be bought in the store.

When you are in close proximity to the mask, a soundtrack of music and voices begins. And the closer you are to the mask, the louder the music. In addition, the area where the mask is located is outlined on the map with a blue circle. If you can’t find the mask (they may be well hidden), then do this :

We leave the blue circle, open the large map in the menu with the button fix the pointer on the symbol of a blue-colored mask. We return to the game again and the pointer will show you the immediate place where the mask is located. Then all that remains is to remove the corpse from the face or simply break it.

Binoculars also help you find masks and other goodies.
