How to unlock the Wildlife Safari achievement in Far Cry Classic - Definitive Guide

This has to be done in the 19th level called "Dam". I'd highly suggest that you do this on the easiest difficulty. I'm not saying it can't be done on a harder one but why make life harder for yourself? It also doesn't matter if you die and have to reload a checkpoint!

Quick note: Clad master noted in the comments that the achievement didn't unlock while playing on hard. But after he switched to Easy it worked just fine. So if you're having problem unlocking it, try switching the difficulty and try again!

You start this level without any weapons in your inventory and you can't pick up any. It's not as hard as it sounds though.

When you start the level run straight ahead and dodge the single trigen there. Jump down the waterfall and swimm along the river. Don't sprint. You want a full stamina bar for the next part.

Follow the river and don't pay attention to any of the enemies around you. You want to haul ass here. So sprint because your life depens on it! At the end of the river turn right to trigger a cutscene that will take you to a downer helicopter.

Grab the armor to your left and use the mounted machine gun in front of you. Mow down every enemy that appears on the beach in front of you. After you've killed all of them turn around and grab the other mounted gun to clean up behind you.

After you killed everything you can progress up the hill. Stick to the right side of the hill and sprint all the way up. Get into the fortress and turn to your left to enter an armory.

This will trigger another cutscene. After you've watched it grab some more health, armor and the key card. Make sure to NOT grab any weapons in there. Head outside again, open the gate and jump into the jeep there. You can kill enemies with the weapon but you can also driver over them.

Follow the path with your jeep until you get to a lava stream. On the upper end of the lava you can cross it by using a fallen tree. Get over there. You'll be facing another stream of lava. Again, up the hill to cross it over a couple of rocks. In front of you there will be fight. Just run straight and you hopefully won't lose much health.

Now get down the mountain and you'll only have to get up one more hill and the level is done. Stick to the right side of the hill. There will be a hole in the fence where you can slip through. Sprint up the hill to reach the building at the top. Follow the stairs and get to the massive door with a bunch of soldiers in front of it. Book it to the door to end the level and get your achievement!

I've now done this 3 times. Once was even on my hard playthrough and on the most recent I made sure not to even use the helicopters miniguns or the buggy or even pick up any ammunition and still nothing! WTF?

I cleared the cache and chose not to update the game which didn't fix it so I re-installed the update and completed the level without picking up any weapon and without dying and it worked fine.

I accidentally picked up the M4 right at the very beginning. Reloaded checkpoint and finished without picking up another gun and it unlocked. So reloading a checkpoint if you pick up a gun should work.

After crossing the last lava stream (where You slide down the mountain) You can slide on the left side of the mountain and hugging the left side of the mountain You will end up at the last stair with 3/4 soldiers near the end of the level.

I just did this on easy and it didn't pop. I never picked up a weapon. So I exited the game to the main menu. I then reloaded the checkpoint where I picked up the jeep. I made sure not to shoot anyone from the jeep this time. It unlocked when I finished that time. Obviously ok to use the mounted weapons in the helicopter but maybe it isn't ok to use them on the jeep? Anyway, I got my achievement that way. Hope this helps someone else where the cheevo didn't pop for them the first time.

I don't see any way to change difficulty after the difficulty is selected at the start of the game, other than starting a completely new game which is said to wipe all checkpoints. Which would mean to play from level 1 to level 19 again. I've done a flawless run on this on medium and the achievement won't unlock. No ammo, weapons or turrets picked up or used, just running from start to finish.

alright, I had the same problem (achievement not unlocking on easy) so here is what I did; replayed this mission (on easy) without picking up any weapons and without dying and without reloading checkpoints and not using the jeep's turret.

Restarted at the buggy, and it finally popped.

Didn't even bother using then buggy, just ran in between the mutants, worked fine since their aim is pretty bad.

For me:
Easy difficulty
DIDN'T die or reloaded checkpoint
DIDN'T accidentally picked up any weapon
DID used the helicopter's turret
DID drove the buggy, but DIDN'T use the turret (that means didn't press LT button).
And it popped for me right after the screen fade out. Hope this helps.

The first time I did it i died right as the screen was fading black to end the level and I didn't get it. Then the second time I did it I noticed that inside the helicopter there is a case of bullets right next to the armor. I don't know if picking up ammo prevents the achievement popping but just a word of caution.

For anyone coming back to this game now that it's BC, I can confirm that picking up health, armor, and ammo are okay. I just did this as part of my Hard run through and didn't get it the first time I did the level, probably because I died a couple times. Afterwards, I reloaded from the buggy checkpoint, ran to the bunker before the final hill, picked up health, armor, and (accidentally) some ammo. Since I was so close, I just decided to run to the end of the level and it popped.

Fuck this game to Hell!

Did the other 20 achievements 4 years ago on the 360, eventually tried again on the Xbone. Started a new game on easy, spent hours getting through it, and I gotta tell ya I'm a little proud of myself that I beat the Damn Dam level on my first try, not using any mounted gun, not picking up anything but the card and the armor next to it, not getting in the jeep. First try!

That pride is the only consolation prize I get for the feat!

So anyone thinking "Well I couldn't get it on the 360, I'll try on a different machine" WRONG! Don't waste your time, the achievement is glitched and fuck Ubisoft.

I also did this on easy for the first play through and picked up NOTHING along the way and it did not pop. then i read the above comment about the jeep. before i deleted anything from my box, i loaded up the checkpoint where i get into the jeep and i did NOT use the gun. i ran to the end and chievo popped.

you may want to add that the achievement MAY NOT work if you use the gun on the jeep. the heli is okay... the jeep gun could cause the achievement not to pop. i ran over a few dudes... then just ran...

Let's see. I beat it on easy many times without using the turret dying or picking anything up except the one one body armor,and without dying. I did all that on hard a few times and once on medium (using the glitch used to beat the game on hard in order to change the difficulty without restarting). Deleted the cache and redownloaded the update a few times. Still no achievement. I'm not sure what else to try other than deleting everything and redoing the whole game, and I would if I thought for a minute it would work.

I have a mastery of this level comparable to ones mastery of Mario 1-1 but nothing else to show for my efforts. How hard is it for devs to patch stuff like this?

So I just got it. The problem is if you don't have any armor when you reach the end the guards at the door kill you even though the level transitions. I got it my third time doing nothing different except for not being a dumbass and touching the lava crossing the tree and losing all my armor. When I made it to the end I had 50% armor and got it immediately once the level faded out. I killed none of the enemies at the end, after crossing the lava, I went down the hill, walked on top of the building, hugged the left wall ran up the hill and jumped the stairs and ran to the exit door.

I did this on Hard.

Run down river, evade the Trigen, and then leap off the waterfall. Continue to follow the river while evading more Trigens. A cinematic will be triggered when close to the destroyed helicopter. After the cinematic ends, grab the mounted gun and kill the two Locusts (the Trigens that jump around). Ignore the Fat Boys (the big, lumbering Trigens), because there isn't enough time to kill all of them on Hard.

Exit the rear of the helicopter to avoid the oncoming Fat Boys, and then sprint around it toward the fortress while evading more Trigens along the way. Enter the armoury and pick up the keycard; use the keycard to open the gate and jump in the vehicle.

Drive along the broken bridge and down onto the grass. After running down the first Fat Boy, there should be a slight rise to the right that can used to jump across the river of lava. The grass leading to the jump is a lighter shade of green and it's well before the fallen tree. Jump the lava, rejoin the road and just drive, ignoring enemies along the way.

Near to the objective, the road dips and then turns right, opposite a circle of sandbags. The mercenaries have set up a roadblock, but it's possible to squeeze past between the concrete wall and a tree. Slip past the roadblock and continue along the road as it bears left, running down mercenaries along the way. Exit the vehicle near the base of the steps, and then sprint up to the large door while ignoring enemies.

There is a mercenary with a rocket launcher near the base of the steps, so try and run him down with the vehicle before exiting. Moreover, when ascending the steps, go right rather than left, because it's the path of least resistance. The mission ends when Carver reaches the door, so don't bother trying and kill the nearby mercenaries--just get to the door! With a bit of luck, you'll get there in one piece.

Two others solution are great but i want to give you more tips.

I did it on NORMAL, and on the first attempt achievement didn't pop due to... throw a rock ! So to be sure you do it right just avoid puch cn_RB.

Second time i focus on methodical progress and,
i don't want to copy great work other solution authors so i pass to point when you enter to Buggy... do not enter the Buggy - to be precise smile
Just walk down without any unnecessary speed and head to fallen tree. Across lava and next across rocks.
Then run between shooting guys and climb on hill with radar. Be careful a do not grab Sniper Rifle. Pass through hill and head slightly right, go down, to road.
Jeep with three guys should arrive and crew should leave car. Quick steal vehicle and kiil all you want.

Now the last part.
Ride to the roadblock and kill all enemy (rockets are pretty smile ). Go to Armory (building on the left and grab armor). Back to Jeep and fire rocket at the final building. Enemy should leave fences and try to kill you - how sad, cause (on NORMAL or EASY) they really easy to kill. Now take a walk to final door. Maybe some enemy still waiting for you(in cover), but with full armor and full sprint bar you may take beer a finish this level with one hand.
Achievement pop !
And if you die, just reload last checkpoint all still will works.

I hope that was hopeful, especially if someone don't like insane runs - like me.

Feel free to comment.

Happy hunting !

After dozens of attempts finishing the game without killing the enemies near the door, and sometimes dying to them and ending the game. I used the car to kill everyone around and reached the door with everyone there dead. Achievement unlocked.

This is achieved on Mission 19 (Dam). This mission lasts roughly 5 minutes and is very easy to complete. You cannot equip any weapon throughout the level, but you're allowed to use mounted guns on vehicles and any found in the environment. If you do pick up any weapons by mistake throughout the level, simply restart the checkpoint as this will not void the achievement.

As soon as the level starts, be careful not to accidentally pick up the M4 rifle on the ground just a few feet ahead to your right. Run forward, past the trigon enemy and jump off the waterfall, follow the river until the cutscene plays. Now make sure to grab the armour on the ground and use the mounted gun inside the fallen chopper to kill all trigon's ahead of you, one enemy will also spawn behind you after everyone is dead ahead, simply switch sides to the other mounted gun and kill it.

At this point, you will want to make your way up the hill towards the big gate, sticking to the right to avoid most of the enemies, go through the fort and to the right into the armoury to grab the keycard and armour if you need it. Make sure not to accidentally pick up any weapons in the armoury. Now go back outside, open the gate and into the jeep. Drive down until you reach the lava streams. You will have to cross the first stream by walking over a fallen tree acting as a bridge. You the cross the second stream by walking across some rocks further up the hill.

Now run past the enemies, carefully slide down the cliff to make sure you don't lose too much health when you land on the bottom. Make your way towards the large structure on the right, up the stairs and to large door guarded by several mercenaries. You will most likely die at this point but the level will also end and the achievement will unlock.

But it seems to me that this trophy is not that difficult. Just use this Spedrun walkthrough - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLaFRD0JYvs . Start watching at 1:02:50. This video will also help you with some difficult parts of the game.

If at the end, when the screen darkens and you are killed, a new level will load, but you will not receive a trophy. It was also noticed that if you picked up a weapon by chance and reloaded the checkpoint, then ran to the end, the trophy also does not drop. It is better to take these facts into account.

Rebooting does not affect getting the trophy, I died five times in lava, but the trophy still dropped.

I accidentally took an M-16 at the beginning of the level, then killed myself, then RESTART CHECKPOINT, in the process of passing I took both binoculars and a night vision device and all the cartridges that came across, died several times, and ended up getting a trophy! Naturally, I didn’t pick up a weapon!

Perhaps the most difficult trophy in the game. As the level begins, a monkey will run towards you (the emka is right in front of you, don’t pick it up by accident) - we run around the mutant behind the stone and jump down into the water. Our path towards the helicopter lies through a forest teeming with mutants (bullies, machine gunners and monkeys). Unlike the PC version, the stamina here is enough to run to the helicopter, just ignore the enemies. There is a checkpoint at the helicopter, we take the armor inside. Shooting mutants is a waste of time; on a realistic machine guns will give you a headshot before you have time to shoot all three. Let's make it simpler - we run away from the helicopter to the left, towards the bay and carefully move along the bottom of the river to the other side. Next we run sharply to the destroyed gate. Here the mutants deal with the soldiers, depending on the AI, both soldiers and mutants can win. So, you don’t have to wait until they shoot each other, but rush to the blown-up passage, only quickly (in addition to the two machine gunners, there is a rocket man on top). We go into the warehouse, watch the video, then take the armor and card, and be sure to take the binoculars (it's on the shelf opposite the armor). Behind the gate is a jeep and a checkpoint. We get on the jeep, ignore the mutants - we need to jump over 2 fissures with lava, on the other side another checkpoint will be waiting for us. All that remains to be done is to walk to the building, sticking to the cliff. The building is guarded by 20 people, among them there is a rocket scientist. Mark everyone with binoculars and carefully walk towards the building, sticking to the cliff, and then to the mountainside. There are 2 soldiers standing at the door that you need to run to, but even in a realistic one they won’t have time to kill you; as soon as they reach the door, the screen goes dark and the mission is completed.

The trophy is glitchy. In the middle of the level, after you take the card and open the gate, you must sit down and drive your car at least a little along the lava road. I ran this section on foot five times, didn’t pick up anything except armor, but the trophy didn’t drop. As soon as I got on the car and passed the area with lava, the trophy immediately fell out. Just be careful - if you accidentally knock down one of the soldiers, there is a chance to pick up his weapon in this way. Deaths and restarting the level from checkpoints do not affect receiving the trophy.
