Overview:

Estimated achievement difficulty: 2/10

Online: 0/7 (0:gsicon:)

Approximate amount of time to 250:gsicon:: 5 hours

Minimum number of playthroughs needed: 1

Missable achievements: None (Continue after completion)

Does difficulty affect achievements: No

Unobtainable/glitched achievements: None

Extra equipment needed: None

 

Introduction:

Welcome to the Valley of the Yetis! This DLC is more of the same Far Cry action. You'll begin with a new, as in without perks and crafted upgrades, Ajay for this DLC which is a separate story from the main game. Luckily though, skins are now available from loot chests and xp is much easier to get from killing enemies and completing missions.

 

There are no missable achievements as you can continue to play after completing the story, so you don't necessarily need to be conscious of the achievement list if you would prefer to play through and enjoy the DLC, then worry about the remainder of the list afterwards.

 

Step 1: Start the DLC

After installing the DLC you will find it from the main menu if you scroll across to the online menu, 'Chronicles' and you will find it at the bottom of the list.

 

At the beginning of the story you'll eventually be tasked with taking over a Relay Station that will serve as a home base for everything that you do. After you claim the Relay Station and do the mandatory first defense of it from an attacking force, besides the first 2 story related achievements, you will get free control of the map to do as you wish. From here, you can either work towards the Upgrade missions achievements, or continue to do the story.

 

You will need to get to a certain point in the story before you encounter Yetis and as they are tied to 2 of the achievements, you should complete the story at least up to meeting your first Yeti before attempting to find more in the wilderness.

 

Conclusion

So, a decent DLC, worth playing through minus the achievements, but they are certainly an added bonus, and easy enough too. Again, nothing is missable so play it at your own pace and refer to the achievement descriptions below for anything you may have need of.

DLC: Valley Of The Yetis

 

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/2848/53.jpg Builder 25:gsicon:

Complete One Relay Station Upgrade Quest (Valley Of The Yetis, Single Player Only).

 

See 'Master Builder' below for full details.

 

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/2848/54.jpg Master Builder 50:gsicon:

Complete All Relay Station Upgrade Quests (Valley Of The Yetis, Single Player Only).

 

You will be able to start on these quests after you have taken over the Relay Station at the beginning of the campaign and repelled the first mandatory attack. They are dotted around the map and look like a yellow exclamation mark in a blue circle. (!)

 

These are largely the same as you will mostly go and retrieve a truck and drive it back to the Relay station, but 2 are for collecting a mounted weapon upgrade which involves you physically retrieving them from atop a mountain through a series of grappling hook jumps, 1 involves defending a group of Yak from Clouded Leopard attacks and 1 involves retrieving 3 supply packages. There are 9 in total and you can do them all as you gain freedom of movement on the map after defending your Relay Station for the first time, so feel free to do them all then, or break them up between story missions.

 

Once you've completed all 9, the achievement will unlock.

 

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/2848/55.jpg Awakened! 50:gsicon:

Complete The Valley Of The Yetis Campaign (Valley Of The Yetis).

 

Story related, cannot be missed.

 

Complete the story of the DLC and this unmissable achievement is yours.

 

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/2848/56.jpg Spiritual Hunter 25:gsicon:

Kill A Yeti (Valley Of The Yetis, Single Player Only).

 

See 'Master of the Awakened' for full details.

 

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/2848/57.jpg Master of the Awakened 50:gsicon:

Kill 5 Yetis (Valley Of The Yetis, Single Player Only).

 

The first Yeti you encounter will be during a mission but you only have your Knife available and have basically zero chance of killing it. Not to worry though as these are found during random encounters in the wild and are sometimes accompanied by a small group of enemies. You will encounter more than 5 throughout the course of the story so you cannot really miss this.

 

They can be very easy to kill if you are equipped appropriately. Make use of explosives, especially the RPG & LK-1018 rocket launcher as 2 shots from one of these will bring it to it's knees allowing you to perform a takedown move if you get behind it. As you initiate the takedown you will be prompted to mash one of the :abut:, :bbut:, :xbut: or :ybut: buttons. This is the fastest and easiest way to kill them, although you can just shoot it 3 times with the RPG or LK-1018 to kill it, but why waste the third rocket? You may find yourself needing it for the next one.

 

Another method for killing them with ease is to use a good silenced sniper rifle while sneaking, 2-3 head shots should do it.

 

Also worth noting that after you kill a Yeti, you can skin it to take it's heart which can then be sold for 93K, but you must be quick because the corpse will consume itself and disappear.

 

Kill 5 of these monstrosities and the achievement is yours.

 

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/2848/51.jpg Home Sweet Home 25:gsicon:

Occupy The Relay Station (Valley Of The Yetis).

 

Story related cannot be missed.

 

At the beginning of the campaign you will be tasked with taking over a Relay Station which will serve as a base of operations, with a merchant and such. The taking over of it is exactly the same as taking over Outposts from the main game, so you're likely to be familiar with what to do. Basically kill all of the enemies and the Relay Station is yours, along with this achievement.

 

http://www.xboxachievements.com/images/achievements/2848/52.jpg Night Survivor 25:gsicon:

Defend The Relay Station And Survive The First Night (Valley Of The Yetis).

 

Story related, cannot be missed.

 

This will occur after you have taken over the Relay Station at the beginning of the story. You just need to defend it against a couple of waves of enemies, same deal, kill everyone until you've completed it and this achievement is yours.
