How to unlock the Ninja Jack achievement in Far Cry Classic - Definitive Guide

You need to do this at the beginning of the 5th level called "Research". The easiest way to get the achievement is obviously by playing on the easiest difficulty.

The keycard is located in a hut on top of a hill surrounded by a ton of bad guys. But it's actually rather simple to get.

As soon as you start playing hug the wall on the left and basically never go away from it. Use your binoculars every now and then to mark the enemies so you can check your minimap to see where they are looking.

Now just move along the left wall until your on the hill with the hut. You want to get to the back of the hut. Make sure you marked every enemy and take your time for an opening to sneak into the back of the hut and grab the key card. As soon as you grab you'll get the achievement.

Use the trees! If an enemy starts searching for you, hide behind a tree until their marker returns to green.

Following your video exactly and I somehow still get spotted. Those 2 guys talking in front of the hut always see me.

No matter how fast or slow, prown or crouch, I get spotted every time. I've tried everything.

Same way for me. I think it is a luck achievement. You either are going to have the setup the way you need it or not... and more so not than others being I have tried over 50 times. roll

Yeah, they have eyes in the back of their heads making skill useless, and there's always a crappy eagle eyed guy who sees you across the map :@

Hmm. Misleading achievement description. I was getting frustrated trying to sneak past them, so I decided to kill a few off with a silenced gun. I didn't get spotted, but I did alert at least 2 enemies. Went and grabbed the card, and I got the achievement. Try killing off the enemies that seem to keep spotting you. As long as you kill them fast enough and they don't start shooting at you, you should be good.

The A.I. in this game is SHIT!!! Even when you are not moving they say "I hear something." This achievement is definitely lucked based because of the poorly made A.I. Just keep trying....

I can confirm that killing the guys at the hut with the silenced mp works!

i got so frustrated i just ran straight through hugging the left wall and got passed without anyone seeing me, I think going prone does nothing for not being seen and running isnt a distraction either. Guess im just used to more realistic AI cause this achievement pissed me off!

I just sprinted to the keycard. After a few reloaded checkpoints I got the achievement.

I had the worst time with this achievement. Getting to the first checkpoint was cake, but getting to the hut i was always spotted! Lots of luck involved! Probably took me over an hour to finally get it. I didnt use the mp5, but looking back in retrospect it would probably be easier to just slowly pick everyone off than pure sneak.

After finally getting the cheevo after many tries here is what I found:
You can kill them if you have a silenced weapon. DO NOT use unsilenced as every enemy on the map will hear it.
If an enemy turns yellow or orange thats fine, however once they turn red you must restart checkpoint.
If you kill them and enemies start moving around DONT restart unless an enemy is red. As long as they stay green, yellow, or orange just keep hiding until they give up.

Bullshit AI. Very luck based if you get spotted or not when you come close to the cabin. Hate cheavs like this.

my best tip is to use the trees and rocks to eliminate enemy view. just hug as close as possible and watch the direction the guards are looking. make your way from tree to rock to tree when the arrows are pointing away from you. just got this after about 10 attempts this morning and this worked great

After trying stealth many times without success, I also just gave up and went for the "sprint like a madman whilst hugging the wall" option. Worked on the third try!

I tried stealth, but the AI always spotted me. I tried restarting the level and sniping the troublesome enemies from the initial spawn, but it put everyone on orange or yellow alert and I eventually ended up getting spotted. What worked in the end was sprinting. Just be sure to tag everyone so you don't run into anyone unexpectedly. Good luck with this one!

You can use the MP5. If you find yourself stuck try shooting the guards. It might take a couple of attempts to kill them without them spotting you. Follow the path from the guide your only spotted when there marker turns red.

If the arrows turn yellow, you'll be fine as long as you're not spotted so when it turns yellow, let it turn green before you start to move again. I only killed one person during my attempt which was the one guy at the save point. If you mess up during your first attempt, then it throws everything off when you restart your checkpoint so your strategy will be different from the video.

Just as an additional tip:

The enemies markers can turn yellow or orange and you can still get the achievement. If they turn red, you will need to restart the checkpoint.

I gunned everyone down using the silenced MP5 and it still worked. I did it from far away so they weren't able to see me. Their markers turned yellow and orange but I simply waited until I had a clear shot and killed them. You can do this for every enemy as long as none of their markers turn red.

Also there is one enemy near the hut who always seems to run for an alarm. Try kill him first or second to stop this happening. If the alarm is sounded, all the other enemies come running and will void the achievement.

I also hugged the left side. Here's how I think it can be done with minimal frustration...

First of all, I can confirm that restarting from a checkpoint is ok. There is a checkpoint just as you approach the objective, which is really handy for dealing with the guards you need to eliminate.

When you start, equip your MP5SD (you apparently start with one if you replay an individual chapter) and your rock (just in case). Scan the area with your binoculars to tag everyone you can and do an occasional re-check as you advance.

Hug the left wall and advance up the canyon. You don't need to go very slow here. There's only one guy who is a problem. He's wandering in the forest near you, perhaps 2/3 of the way to the checkpoint. Just drop him with the MP5 to make sure he doesn't notice you. Nobody will see him go down.

Once you get to the checkpoint, keep going, hugging the wall, until you get to a fairly large, light-colored rock. Stop at this rock and wait for a minute or so for a soldier to walk by and drop him with the MP5. He will walk right past the rock and not see you, so you don't even need to peek. Nobody is going to see that guy die, either.

This is where you need to stop hugging the wall. Peek around the rock. There should be three guys in front of the objective. Between you and the soldiers there will be two rocks, sort of at the edge of a drop-off. Wait until the guys are not looking and move towards those rocks, then go prone. At this point you should be able to pop up and get a good view of the area in front of the objective. Wait until the guys are clustered together and drop them as a group. On easy difficulty they'll go down with just a bullet or three, so you can get all three with one clip. Now you can just grab the objective unopposed. Alternatively, you can try to use your rock to lead one or more of the guys away for a kill, but I did not need to do that.

I'm assuming that the guards always move in the same pattern, obviously, but I'm pretty sure that this is true.

Top solution by far. I didn't start the level with the MP5 so tried going with the video solution but the guards awareness was ridiculous, after many failed attempts I mercilessly slaughtered everyone in the level, then reloaded on a copied save and got it first try. What was a rage inducing achievement became extremely simple with this method.

This is achieved on Mission 5 (Research). Right at the beginning of the level, you will need to grab a keycard which is in a hut located at the top of the large hill. This is easiest pulled off by hugging the left wall as close as possible and keep moving forward.

The hill will be cluttered with patrolling mercenaries so you should mark everyone with your binoculars every 20 or so seconds so you can see them on your minimap. If an enemy turns yellow (suspicious) you can still unlock the achievement, however if they turn orange (alerted and searching) or red (hostile) then you will need to restart the checkpoint.

It takes about 1 minute to go from the start of the level to the hut with the keys, while hugging the wall, you can walk stood up, but do not sprint if there are enemies nearby as they will hear you, but crouching is not necessary either or you will be moving too slow. You can walk most of it, and even sprint when non enemies are close by.

See video for further help:

Collect the key card without alerting anybody in research. The achievement/trophy will be voided if the following:

1. The enemies marker turn red.

2. If an enemy near the hut sounds the alarm.

Should this happen to anybody, restart last checkpoint or to the beginning of the mission and try again. If the enemy marker turns yellow or orange, the achievement/trophy is still active. Achievement/trophy pops if anybody was successful.

It took me a long time to get this trophy. I deleted the saves, started the campaign on easy, and quickly reached the desired chapter. I took the trophy on the first try.

Enemies can turn yellow or orange, as long as your radar doesn't start blinking. As a result, at the hut itself it’s easier to throw a smoke blower to the side so that everyone goes there

If you are burned, then you can continue from the chik point.

From the beginning of the Research (Laboratory) level until you receive the key card (in the hut), you need to remain unnoticed (all enemy markers must be green!) Replaying checkpoints does not affect the receipt of the trophy!

Don't bother with the trophy on hard level. Knocked him out after passing on a difficult level. I chose a new game, easy mode, reached this place in 45 minutes and knocked it out on the first try.

It’s difficult to do on hard, it will be a little easier if you know that enemies can be killed. The main thing is not to bring the indicators to red.
