DirtyMcHater Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Do a main mission. Subvert it by getting the call from a buddy and going to his/her location. They'll be at a safe house. Save there after talking to them then go and do it. Reload save, complete mission as normal. Got it. Op made it seem like you can press back and actually save from menu.

DemonI81 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Unfortunately you can't. I wish you could, it'd be a lot easier than running to a safe house every time you wanna save. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NukeDukem Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 (edited) sorry if it was confusing, but i didnt mean either of those things! when you get to the oasis, go straight down the hole to the gold. when you approach the gold you will get prompted to press the back button, do it and then the game will ask if you want to save. then all you have to do is come out of the hole, put your buddy out of her misery, reload the save down by the gold, come out of the hole and save her life. edit: oh and DemonI81, i think you get the optional objective to get more medicine on the second to last pill, not the actual last pill. so keep checking the pause menu if you think youre running out. ive got the achievement for doing all the underground missions, i think i did 3 in the north and 2 in the south. as for this Third Faction achievement, did someone say they got it after choosing to save their buddies at the end of the nortern campaign? so the buddies in the south dont count towards the achievement?

I know right!... It's pissing me off already. Especially when I die because of some stupid shit like getting hit by a car, when the car hardly scratched me.

DemonI81 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Yeah, the collision detection in this game is fubar. I got run over when the car was a good 5-10 feet away earlier. No idea about the Third Faction yet. Haven't seen anyone with it. It seems though that you get a whole new set of buddies when you go to the south, but Idk what the deal is with that achievement.

DirtyMcHater Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Does anyone know why one of my buddies Warren Clyde appears as missing? I checked my stats and it says buddies abandon = 1. That's weird.. Unless it is story related I don't recall abandoning any buddies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oOThrissy Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Thrissy any more luck on remember where the norht ones are?? Sorry buddy, those 2 are the only ones that i remember. Those 2 are pretty much the hardest ones to find the rest aren't that hard to find when you're looking for all the diamonds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn that sucks. Idk why he would be missing, I've only done one of his missions, and every time I do the buddy mission is that Arabian guy who goes with me, he's the only one I've ever seen wounded and I've healed him everytime. (except for the other ach, but I reloaded quickly to make sure he stayed with me) So now the question is, where the hell is Warren Clyde!? :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NukeDukem Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 im in the same boat mate, got a missing buddy but not quite sure how it happened. i think what happened with me is my buddy came to save me, and when i left the scene there mustve been more enemies that found him, he got his arse kicked and because i didnt know i didnt go back and it counts as abandoning. sucks! ill have to go through the game again to get the third faction achievement. tell you what though, i just got the goddamn RROD... what a time to get that! ploughing through far cry, the best fps ive played since cod4, and so many great games out this autumn and winter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope so anyway as one of my buddies died without me relising and i saved the game, and im not playing through the whole game again. Also the underground missions can you only do these when you low on pills? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oOThrissy Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Also the underground missions can you only do these when you low on pills? Nah, most of the time i whas forced to go to there for the mission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NukeDukem Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 (edited) youre only forced to go there when you run out of pills.. and the missions arent there when you have more than 1 pill left in your container. just do the missions everytime they come up and you should get the achievement, thats all i did. it might actually be impossible to miss this achievement, im not sure. maybe if you go through the story missions really quickly you could miss them but idk.

Leadingspartan Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Could you guys possibly post up a map of the locations of all the buddies circles in black. I am colorblind and I would love to find the buddie. Please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding the missing buddy, I really don't know wth happened, since Warren Clyde is never the one to come save me, It's always the other dude, I forget his name, the one with the towel on his head LOL. I do remember the first time I went to Mikes bar he was talking about taking on a bunch of people by himself and whatnot, could it be that I was suppose to help him and didn't?

NukeDukem Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 maybe.. it strikes me as annoying if the buddies can go off and get themselves killed without giving you a clear objective to help them out though! this games systems are very confusing sometimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_b1ues Posted October 29, 2008 Author Share Posted October 29, 2008 (edited) Ive just reliesed there is no achievement for completeing all the side missions so i dont think you need to do any of the buddy side missions other than 1 for the achievement. Can anyone confirm this? Edited October 30, 2008 by the_b1ues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyMcHater Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 As long as you have done that buddies missions i dont think there is any achievments to be missed I think if you're done with the buddy's mission it would have a check mark next to it's name. The one who's missing has a red line across his name. So far I have 3 buddies, Quarbani Singh, Michele Dachss and Warren Clyde, on the first 2 the status is 'Alive' and on the last one the status is 'Missing' :/ Also, I'm now doing the 3rd mission for the UFLL ( I think) The one you get from the guy at the door and not the two upstairs. Usually every time I went on a mission I would have a buddy call me for the side quest or w/e. I'm this mission now and no-one has called me, is it supposed to be like that? Another question, Am I really suppose to only have 3 buddies? I'm by 20 percent of the game and only have 3. I've been playing for about 9 hours though :/ Edit : DukeNukem, yes, this game is indeed frustrating and confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_b1ues Posted October 30, 2008 Author Share Posted October 30, 2008 I shouldnt worry about missing a buddy. I dont think you need to do any buddy missions atall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyMcHater Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I shouldnt worry about missing a buddy. I dont think you need to do any buddy missions atall. Hmm ok. Also would know why the 'buddies' are not saving me anymore.. Now every time my health goes all the way down that's it. I die.

the_b1ues Posted October 30, 2008 Author Share Posted October 30, 2008 You have to go to a save house that one of your buddies is in he will then save you again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyMcHater Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 You have to go to a save house that one of your buddies is in he will then save you again. How would I know which one he's in.

DemonI81 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 How would I know which one he's in. I used to see him all the time, now he's only at the bar and stuff. Every time I've been saved, the next safe house I go to my buddy is there. I've either been really lucky or it's the closest safe house to where you were saved... probably.

TheShowzOver Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Alright 2 questions. 1. Has anyone got the "Subvert all main missions for the Leboa-Seko area, the first area"? Because i'm now on the 2nd part of the game and i subverted all the missions i could and it didn't unlock for me 2. One of my buddies the paul guy, he went down in a battle and i tried to save him, i shot him 3 times with syrettes to try and save him but he died anyways, i saved while he was down after completing a mission or whatever, figuring i could save him but he still died. I ended up just reloading my save and abandoning him because it wouldn't let me revive him..., so it said he was "missing" but not dead. Is that going to affect any achievements? Oh and then the mission where you have to save the church or help your buddies at mike's bar, i went to mike's bar and all my buddies died, as well as me. I know you can die and continue on but wtf are you really suppose to keep them all alive, they all drop like flies. What a confusing game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
