How to unlock the Science Fact achievement in Far Cry 5 - Definitive Guide

WARNING - DO NOT PLAY ANY OF THE SIDE QUESTS ON CO-OP. PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THAT THIS WILL GLITCH PROGRESS. IT SEEMS TO BE PEOPLE WHO DO A MIX OF CO-OP AND SOLO WHERE ITS THE ISSUE; TO BE SAFE, ENSURE YOU ONLY PLAY THE 4 SIDE MISSIONS ON SOLO.
For those who prefer a written guide, this achievement is for completing Larry's quest line in John's Region. This became available for me about half way through liberating the region.

Larry is a weird but charming enough dude. He's into aliens, and we will help him complete his...personal pilgramage. There are 4 side-mission we have to complete for this one:

1) Free Larry (Self-Explanatory and easy)

2) The Hero's Journey (Climb the tower, disable the dishes, secure Larry's compound. Easy.)

3) Close Encounters (Collect 4 Alien Pieces. This is probably the most confusing, although still very easy.

In the central crop-circle looking / mowed grass area is one bigger circle and three smaller circles. In one of the smaller circles is some turkeys. Kill them and get piece 1.

Opposite them is a couple enemies in the large circle. Running around will be a dog, chase him until he stops for piece 2. His "end place" will be by some boxes next to the turkeys, and if you leave this one to last like I did he might already be here.

Then go to the silo with a green top and a blue ladder on it. Climb the smaller silo next to it, jump over, and navigate to the top for piece 3


The final piece is in the larger circle in the central area. Take out any human enemies, and find it by the cows rear. Note: It's very easy to mistake the final alien piece in "Close Encounters" to be under the cow, as there is another blue patch. This is especially the case if you do them out of this order like I did without a guide. I thought my game had glitched, but this blue piece is NOT one of the ones you need.

PEOPLE WHO REQUESTED THE LOCATION OF WHERE I FOUND THE DOG - 8:48. Where the centre-most yellow icon is, go to where the bale of hay is to the right of it. If he stops running around, thats where I found him.


4) Out of this World - Go to the plant, turn on the generators, return to Larry. Easy.

Once you
you'll unlock your achievement.

If these were your first side-missions (like mine), you'll also unlock the following:

Can you explain a bit further - did you do the 4 side quests listed above? Check your journal. Also did you do it solo?

I completely forgot to comment the other day. Ubisoft support said they aren't aware of any issues with this achievement, they directed me to Xbox support. Xbox support said t leave it 72 hours to see if it pops.

@NoHeroes94 ... I was in a co-op session with a friend and I was the host. It seems it didn't registered the cow one. After picking up all 4 it still said 3/4. We immediately restarted the game but no luck. Even tried it on solo after that. Also tried the quit mission option. But it seems like there is no option to reset it. I googled and it seems like I'm not the only one. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

To all affected, I would still do everything else (i.e. 49/50 achievements). Maybe completely uninstall the game, clear save data etc. when this is the only thing you don't have instead of just restarting a game? Can't guarantee that won't affect future DLC's but i don't know what else to suggest im sorry, didn't have this issue :(

I can't find the dog in my game. I have the 3 other pieces but can't get the dog to show up. I've left the area and come back, restarted the game...? Hope I didn't kill him and the item glitch underground or something...

I played part of the mission on co-op as host and then finished the rest solo. It did not pop for me, so fair warning.

When I get home guys I’ll go on and I’ll screenshot where I found the dog and Larrys location. After a while he stops running around and stops in a certain spot, was why I struggled to find him. I did say I was going to upload a pic but I wasn't able to this afternoon, but I'll be sure to do it asap. From memory, it was buy some crates / metal sheets in the main field area.

I did mission 1 by myself, then got to radio tower for mission 2 and brought in a friend. I climbed tower and shot all the dishes myself, after that mission we hit up 2 prepper stashes to finish off coop chieve. I did the last 2 mission by myself the next day and the achievement still unlocked. Not sure why, but I'm very grateful it did.

Update: So not 30 seconds before I was going to delete my save and start again this achievement popped. I still have two others that are currently not unlocked, but it looks like they might just eventually pop with time.

I was able to find the dog and get the achievement tonight. I went to Jacob’s area and did a bunch of missions, then came back.

Mine glitched and didn't unlock after I finished the quest a couple of days ago but it unlocked today. I haven't played any arcade or multiplayer at all yet.

I had the sampe with 3/4 alien objects. Dog wouldn't appear. I just gast traveled to a spot in Jacobs region. Then fast travelled right back to the farm. Ran back to the boxes and the dog ran out, ran around a bit. Then dropped the 4th item next to the boxes.

This is weird I finished the quest a couple of days ago and the achievement popped fine. I was checking my Achievements today to see what achievement i should unlock next and it says I didn’t unlock it and it’s weird because i remember 100% that i did. I remember because I got the alien gun and i got the achievement but it says that the achievement didn’t unlock and that’s weird

I just earned this achievement and I think any issues with it might be all good now. I did the first part of it in co-op and finished it in solo and got the achievement with no issues.

I did not receive the achievement after doing this Solo. It has been about a week since I completed the mission. It is still bugged.

@epsilon 616 - You can do thi pretty soon into the game, I recommend doing everything else and maybe making a new game and re-doing this again with the achievement open in your tracker on screen??

I don't want to 100% promise but I am almost certain that all DLC will be seperate from the main story (Hours of Darkness was seperate), so I don't think it will jeopardise your progress for DLC achievements!

Playing from GamePass, this is a very simple achievement via normal gameplay, no unlocking issues.

Just saying, you don't need to wait for the dog to stop. You can also "remove" him from the gene pool. Just saying

@vilhelm55 Hmm, very strange. I haven't had a single achievement glitch on me so far, although its happened to others seemingly.

There isn't a way to reset it, but don't worry too much...if you're looking to max the game out, I'd just finish the game and everything else possible on one save. You can do this quest line pretty soon into a new game, if you rush through the prologue and go straight to John's Region I think you can do it as soon as you complete the Falls End intro mission. If not, it'll be radioed in pretty soon after. Its inconvenient, but its probably only 60 mins into a fresh game (ignoring the opening cutscene)

Have you ever hosted a co-op game on your save?

- You find Larry as a side quest to the west of Fall's End here:
External image

- You then complete quests for him, all pretty easy, and after the last one you will get the achievement along with shoes and a weapon

Here's a video of finding Larry and completing his quests which include the locations of the Alien Samples, jump to 04:32 to see that.

This is unlocked by completing all four of Larry’s missions in John’s Region. This mission to meet Larry will randomly be given to you by an NPC with the "!" icon above their head, indicating they have an available side mission. If you haven't been given the side mission by game's end, Larry can be located just west of Fall's End at Parker Laboratories.

Once you find and meet Larry, he'll have four side mission for you to complete before the achievement will unlock.

  1. Free Larry
  2. The Hero's Journey
  3. Close Encounters
  4. Out of this World

Once all four of these side missions are complete, Larry will leave you with the Magnopulsar gun and the achievement will unlock.

For this trophy, you need to complete an optional quest line for an NPC named Larry. He is located at 'Parker Laboratories' just west of Fall's End, in John's Region. Once you find Larry and free him from the electric barrier by turning off the three generators, he will give you some quests to complete.
  • Free Larry
  • The Hero's Journey
  • Close Encounters
  • Out of this World
After finishing the final quest, Larry will disappear, unlocking the trophy. He also leaves behind a unique weapon called the Magnopulser.

This trophy is a reference to aliens. Near Falls End, save Larry Parker, he will give you the task “Out of this World.” The idea: destroy satellite dishes, find extraterrestrial objects and redirect electricity. As a result, Larry disappears, leaving behind his boots and the Pulse Cannon.

This is also most likely a reference to the future Mars DLC.
There is also a small Easter egg at the end of the chain of missions for Larry, after activating the generators, run into the portal with him and for a second you will be transported to another planet and shown some kind of alien monster.
