The section “for the perfectionist” is my section that I came up with in 2020, it means completing the game 100%, nooo, not the 100% in the table. This means completing all additional quests, completing all achievements and much more. Try out this or that mechanic, buy everything in the game, collect everything in the game.
I think as you read this guide you will understand what we are talking about.

There will be a list of what we need to do to fully understand the game and close it 100%

First you need to install multi-fixer. This will open up DLC for us which we will also have to go through (well, it also fixes a lot of problems)

Also, if you don’t care about the plot, you can read this guide from thirdkeeper, it describes in detail all the mechanics of the game and their problems. This will give you an idea of ​​what awaits you

• Complete the game on maximum difficulty (Infamous);
  
• Complete all additional and secret misions;
  
• Collect all diamonds, Jackal tapes and Predecessor tapes;
  
• Save all your buddy and complete all their missions;
  
• Open all shelters;
  
• Buy all weapons and other modifications;
  
• Get both endings;
  
• Complete the game 100%;
  
• Study in detail all the content from the game that is in it.

Everything is simple here, you need to play the entire game on the hardest difficulty. In fact, it is not as difficult as it seems, because the first time I completed the game it was on this difficulty and it was easy for me. By choosing this difficulty, enemies will deal more damage to you! No restrictions, etc., so choose this difficulty with confidence.

There are the following types of missions in Far Cry 2:

• Story missions - 32 pcs.
  
• Friends missions - 12 pcs. (are part of story missions)
  
• Underground missions - 8 pcs.
  
• Side quests - 42 pcs. including:
  
  • Quests from the merchant - 8 pcs.
    
  • Side quests for friends - 22 pcs. (separate tasks given by friends in bars)
    
  • Destroy the target shown on the map - 12 pcs.

You will still need this guide, namely section 2, Mission Prioreties.

Here are some tips for completing missions:

1. Be sure not to reject your friends' quests, these are the quests when your friend calls you during a story quest. It is impossible to replay the mission, and accordingly, + 1 to your friends’ task will not be counted in your statistics.
   
   
2. Complete missions as long as possible so that attacks of malaria become more frequent. Due to the fact that I quickly completed the game, I was not able to open all 8 underground missions.
   
   
3. Try to use fast travel less. This will allow you to explore the map more. Don't take the usual path, try to find new ones.
   
   
4. Don't miss the diamonds along the way and collect them. This will save you time and you won't have to spend 20 hours collecting diamonds.
   
   
5. Play with different weapons and try different loadouts. Believe me, it’s much more interesting this way.

There is a theory that in order to complete all the missions of friends you need to kill at least one friend on each map, I refuted this theory. Indeed, you will not be able to complete the missions of your second friend, since he does not appear in the bar, but there is another way to complete his missions without killing the first friend.
You need to ask him for help many times and die many times for him to save you. This must be done until your relationship becomes higher than with your first friend, after which complete the story quest and your friends will switch places. This way you can complete all your friend's missions without killing them.

There is a very big problem with these missions. At least I encountered it. There are eight such missions in total and each of them opens one underground cell. The problem is that you can complete the mission when the pills run out. The tablets only run out during the mission. I don't understand this system very well,
I can only say that it is advisable to take longer to complete the missions so that the pills are spent.

First you need to activate the game's DLC. The Far Cry 2 servers have been closed for a long time, which means that there is no way to open them legally. DLC activation is included in MultiFix (I talked about it at the beginning). However, you can download patches separately

And now I will show you the best map in my opinion for collecting diamonds. (Unfortunately it is only in Russian)

Link[www.playground.ru]

Here are a few screenshots, as you can see, you can even look at a picture in it, it shows where the diamond is in case you can’t find it.
It has all the symbols. You can see where the golden ak-47 is, the tapes of the Jackal and predecessor, diamonds.

There are only 11 buddy in the game. 6 friends in Leboa Sako and 5 friends in Bewo Seko.

Especially for you, I made a map where your friends are.
The last friend in Leboa-Sako will appear in the story at the very beginning of the game.
The remaining 3 friends will also appear in Bowa Seko according to the plot.

All shelters can be easily found as they are all marked on the map. Just go through each location and open all the shelters. But especially for you, I found a map of shelters
House icon - Shelters

Airplane icon - hang glider

AWP Icon - Sniper Locations

RPG Icon - Rocket Launcher Location

MR badge - vehicles with guns

KR badge - boats with guns

MP icon - vehicles with machine guns

Badge B - all-terrain buggies

Icon K - boats

Jeep, USA 12 badges - clear by name

Diamond Icons - Diamond Locations

Weapon Icons - Specific weapons plated in gold!

There are 28 weapons in the game in total.
62 benefits.
15 equipment.

All this will cost you 1000 diamonds.
All purchases are made at the gun store. There are 10 in total:
5 in Leboa-Sako and 5 in Bowa-Seko.

You save 1000 diamonds for about 92% of the game.

There are only two endings in the game (SPOILER ALERT)

1. Give the diamonds to the guards.
2. Blow up the place.

These two endings will not change anything and you need to choose them at the end of the game, this is 96%

Especially for this, in the shelter, where Jackala gives us a choice, there is a save cell. Save and make your choice. Complete one ending
restart the save and go through another one.

We are almost at the finish line!!!

This section was created for curious people like me.
If you want to explore the game completely, I can advise you to do this:

1. Find a golden AK-47
   
2. Fly all Paraglider
   
3. Download the ENB mod and travel around the world of the game!
   
4. Do what you wanted to do. I am sure that during the game the thought “What is this and how does it work” came to you. Check what you haven't checked, study what you haven't studied

You can also try the game's multiplayer. That's what this site is for

The online presence there is small, but in the evening after 19:00 10-20 people play.

Let me share a little story about myself.

I love diving into games and completing them 100%, exploring every tiny detail. My passion is finishing all the content a game has to offer. You might notice that I’ve clocked 100 hours in Far Cry 1, 110 hours in Far Cry 2, 165 hours in Far Cry 3, 104 hours in Far Cry Blood Dragon, and a whopping 289 hours in Far Cry 4. So, who am I?

I have a real passion for tackling every bit of content a game throws at me. Sometimes, it backfires, and I end up with gaming burnout. This guide is for people like me—those who want to complete absolutely everything in a game. You can pop in here anytime, read some tips, and get advice on any piece of content in the game. And if something’s missing? Just ask me, and I’ll happily help! :)

Plus, who knows—maybe with guides like this, I’ll inspire someone to dive into this kind of perfectionist playstyle! 😄

Now everything works, if you have any questions, I will be happy to answer. If you find errors in my guide, please write, because I am Ukrainian and do not speak perfect English. Well, in the meantime, like and take care of yourself!
