Introduction:

Welcome to the future of 2007 in Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon! Throughout your adventures on the dark and foggy futuristic island, you’ll be battling the odds as Sergeant Rex Power Colt, a Mark IV Cyber Commando who’s gone rogue. Whether you're slaying neon red Komodo Blood Dragons or saving helpless individuals from the baddies, there’s plenty to do in this excellent Arcade title as you explore every nook and cranny of the island. With nineteen new achievements, you’ll be looking at about ten hours total in order to 100% the game. The achievements range from completing the main story and side quests, to killing an enraged Blood Dragon with only your bow and finding all the hidden, and random, collectibles around the island.

 

Story:

Playing through the seven main story quests will net you three secret achievements for a total of 80:gsicon:. During your playthrough, you will also naturally unlock Blood Dragon Down for killing your first dragon. Derp will also be obtainable during natural progression when you jump off the dam in the second Mission. Also, Running man can be will obtained immediately after liberating the first garrison. Once you liberate all the garrisons on the island, you will eventually unlock Way to Go, Garri-Son. Lastly, make sure you hunt and kill all 12 animal species and destroy a total of 5 “Braincages” in order to unlock Murder Nature and Set Them Free.

 

Side Quests:

Side quests in Blood Dragon become available after you librate an enemy-occupied garrison. They are broken down into Predator’s Path and Hostage Situation quests. The former quests task you hunting down specific animals across the island while the latter requires you to free scientists whom are being held captive by a squad of Omega Force soldiers. Upon completing all the side quests, you will unlock Kill Them All and Nice Like Jesus.

 

Miscellaneous:

These achievements can be done at any time during your playthrough but are suggested to be completed before the main storyline has concluded. Just the Tip and Dragon Slayer require you to kill a single Dragon with your bow, and an overall total of 25 Dragons. Also make sure you headshot one of each enemy in the game in order to get The Only True Stopper. Hail to the King is unlocked for reaching Level 30. You will gain XP in the game for just about everything, be it killing enemy soldiers, hunting animals or completing the quests, and should have enough XP by the time you finish everything. Lastly, Tooled Up will likely be the last achievement that unlock within the game. You will need to finish all 16 side quests, and recover all the 54 collectibles in order to unlock every weapon attachment. Once you buy all 25 attachments in the game, the achievement is yours.

 

Collectibles:

Collectibles come in the form of VHS Tapes, Notes, and TV’s in Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon. There are a total of 54 collectibles scattered across the island. Once you liberate two to three garrisons in the region of of the island (NE, NW, SE, SW), you will be able to purchase four collectible maps for $500 each. Collecting everything will unlock What are You Reading For?, The Greatest Format of all Time and The Drug of the Nation.

 

Conclusion:

Overall, Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon is an excellent Arcade title that will offer heaps of entertaining dialogue, fast-paced action and the ultimate urge to play kick more cyber ass upon completing the story. The Tutorial alone is enough to draw you into this fantastic open-world FPS and the fact that this title does not require the original Far Cry 3 game to play is great for those who wish to experience Blood Dragon on its own! The achievements aren't too demanding either, as they only task you with basic feats such as completing all the quests, finding a reasonable amount of collectibles, and killing a set amount of Dragons and enemy soldiers with specific weapons. None of the achievements are necessarily difficult but a few will require some patience. For a ten hour arcade game full of action, laughs, and replayability, Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon is a title you’ll definitely want to check out this month!

Finish all the Garrisons

 

Garrisons are essentially small enemy-occupied outposts around the island that act as safe houses and fast travel points once they are liberated. There are a total 13 garrisons on the island that must be captured. While there are multiple strategies to eliminating the enemy opposition within each garrison, it is best to approach each outpost quietly with a bow. Make sure to use your throwing dice to distract enemies, and chain any takedowns if the enemies are clustered together.

 

Once the enemies have spotted you they will call in for reinforcements, which can prove to be a burden. In order to prevent the potential for any reinforcements arriving at the scene, be sure to disable the alarm system within each outpost. These alarms are noted on your mini-map as a speaker icon.

 

http://i.exophase.com/xbox/awards/66a8c4f4/s/75359.png Kill Them All - 20 :gsicon:

Finish all the Predator's Path Quests

 

After taking out all the Omega Forces within a garrison, the Predator’s Path side quest will be available at a nearby console. Simply accept the quest and follow the waypoint to the designated area. Some of these quests will require you to pick up a specific weapon first, and then proceed to an open area where you can find your target.

 

The target will either be a wild animal or an Omega Force soldier. Always try to take on these quests slowly and eliminate your target from a distance with little to no commotion. Once you complete all 8 quests, the achievement will unlock.

 

http://i.exophase.com/xbox/awards/6ac357ea/s/75361.png Nice Like Jesus - 5 :gsicon:

Finish all the Hostages Situations

 

After taking out the Omega Forces within a garrison, these Hostage Situations will also be available as a side quest. For these missions, you must follow the marker on the map to a secure location where a half a dozen guards are holding a scientist captive.

 

Your goal is to take out all the guards and rescue the scientist. However, you will need to do this as silently as possible, as the guards will kill the hostage quickly if they spot you. Throwing dice and the bow will be extremely useful during these side quests. Once you complete all 8 quests, the achievement will unlock.

 

http://i.exophase.com/xbox/awards/cfb10097/s/75362.png Murder Nature - 30 :gsicon:

Kill all the Animal Types

 

Around the island, you will stumble upon a multitude of wild species. In total, there are 12 different animals to look out for:

  • Black/White Tiger
  • Blood Dragon
  • Boar
  • Cyber Panther
  • Cyber Shark
  • Devil Goat
  • Mutant Buffalo
  • Mutated Cassowary
  • Mutated Turtles
  • Robo Crocodile
  • Robo Dog
  • Neon Snake

You should be able to find each animal without a problem, as you will be exploring the entire island through the main quests, side quests, and while recovering collectibles. Plus, you can always set waypoints to their location since their location is noted as a small icon on the world map. Many of these animals will be taken care of through the Predator Path quests, so do not worry about missing any. Take note however, that snakes are the only animal that do not appear on the world map. They are usually found slithering around the ruins where TV Sets are located. You can also try setting a waypoint to X:541.8, Y:484.6; this will bring you to a section of the island where snakes almost always spawn. You can find them off the main roadway in the tall grass.

 

http://i.exophase.com/xbox/awards/09ad07c1/s/75363.png Set Them Free - 5 :gsicon:

Destroy 5 Braincages

 

As you progress through the main storyline, you will come across calm Dragons with red boxes around their heads, known as "brain cages." These brainwashed Dragons are timid and do not react to Cyber Hearts as the wild Dragons do. In order to destroy their Braincage, you will want to try to sneak up on them and then either throw an explosive near it, or shoot the red box on its head. After dishing out a minimal amount of damage, the Braincage will fall off, the dragon will become wild, turn bright red and attack. Simply destroy a total of 5 Braincgaes and the achievement is yours.

 

http://i.exophase.com/xbox/awards/8cbe4c66/s/75364.png Just the Tip - 15 :gsicon:

Kill a Dragon with the Bow

 

This achievement can be extremely frustrating, but there is one method that should make it a lot easier. First of all, you want to find a garrison that you have not yet liberated, with a Blood Dragon nearby. Now, you'll want to go inside the garrison to disable the barrier. Once you do this, start throwing Cyber Hearts into the garrison to attract the Blood Dragon into the base where it will begin to attack all the enemies, thus clearing the outpost for you. However, once it does clear all the enemies, the garrison will not be liberated until the Blood Dragon is killed, and this is where you'll want to get your achievement.

 

At this point, make sure you fill up on ammo and have a bow equipped, which shouldn't be a problem because you are in a base with a vendor. Take down as much of the remaining health of the dragon using C400 and grenades, until there is almost nothing left. Using your bow, you will need to shoot the Dragon in the chest, where it is vulnerable. This can take some patience, so just make sure to heal yourself when necessary and restock ammo if you need it. Eventually, you'll hit it in the chest, taking away its remaining health to kill it and unlock this achievement.

Kill Your First Dragon

 

See “Dragon Slayer” for more information.

 

http://i.exophase.com/xbox/awards/97d8ba41/s/75366.png Dragon Slayer - 20 :gsicon:

Kill 25 Dragons

 

Whenever you come across a wild Blood Dragon, simply kill it by any means. The Dragons appear less frequently around the island post game, so it is suggested to work on this achievement right away after liberating the first garrison.

 

A great method to killing these Blood Dragons is to camp out near a liberated garrison. The Blood Dragon will not be able to enter if the force field is up, but you will be able to damage it with explosives and gunfire from inside. Another great reason this tactic works best, is because it allows you to constantly refill your inventory (grenades, mines, ammo) once you are running low on firepower.

 

If you have already beaten the main storyline, the Blood Dragons will spawn less frequently; however, you can follow this method below to boost the remaining Dragon kills.

  1. From the Main Menu, select "Campaign" then "Continue."
  2. Fast travel to the garrison located at X: 521.7, Y: 466.6.
  3. After spawning, exit the door to your right and proceed up the hill to the left.
  4. Throw a Cyber Heart, which will spawn a Blood Dragon.
  5. Kill the Dragon any way you want, although the Killstar is definitely recommended.
  6. After eliminating the Dragon, pause your game, and select "Save Game."
  7. After saving, press :xbut: to exit to the Main Menu.
  8. Repeat

There are a total of 10 Notes within the game. You can purchase a collectible map at a vendor inside a garrison to reveal their location on the world map. There are four maps in total; North East, North West, South East, and South West. Each map will cost $500 and will only be available for purchase once you have liberated a garrison within that region of the island.

There are a total of 12 VHS Tapes within the game. You can purchase a collectible map at a vendor inside a garrison to reveal their location on the world map. There are four maps in total; North East, North West, South East, and South West. Each map will cost $500 and will only be available for purchase once you have liberated a garrison within that region of the island.

Reach Maximum Level and Become the Ultimate Badass

 

Every kill, loot, and successful quest (both main and side) will net you XP. The maximum level in this game is Level 30. Make sure to loot every possible solider and container you can in order to gain as much XP as possible. After completing all the main missions and side quests, you should be around Level 25. You can always explore the island and kill any Blood Dragons you encounter for some great additional XP.

After saving Darling, enter Combat Mode with a Dragon and Return to Stealth

 

Once you have saved Dr. Darling in the first garrison, you can work on this achievement right away. There should be a Blood Dragon in the immediate area surrounding this garrison if it was not killed in the attempt of taking over the outpost.

 

If there is no Blood Dragon around, simply venture out in the surrounding area and explore the island until you find one. Once you spot a Dragon, approach it from a distance and shoot a single arrow or bullet at it's center mass. It will become enraged and begin to glow red. Once the Dragon is red, it is in “Combat Mode.” Now quickly crouch in a bush or behind a tree and stay out of sight. Blood Dragons have poor eye sight, so when you are crouching, they are less likely to spot you.

 

If necessary, you can opt to throw a Cyber Heart out into the distance to further distract the Dragon. The Dragon will pace the area and eventually his glow will turn dim yellow, and then neon blue/green. Once it has calmed down and is no longer in “Combat Mode” the achievement will unlock.

Own all Weapons Attachments

 

There are a total of 25 weapon attachments that must be purchased for this achievement, which costs a total of $43,150. These attachments are not available from the start however; eight of the attachments will become available after completing all the Predator's Path side quests, while another eight will unlock after completing every Hostage Situation side quest. Furthermore, three attachments are tied into killing all twelve species of animals on the island and the last six are exclusive to recovering the TV Sets, Notes, and VHS Tapes across the island.

 

Make sure you loot every enemy solider, container/crate, and animal to maximize your wealth. If you want to save as much money as possible, there is a method of bypassing ammo purchase. Head over to a vendor inside a garrison and swap the weapon you need ammo for with another weapon. Swap it back to your previous weapon and you will now have full ammo. This method will save you a significant amount of money during your playthrough! The sum of attachments will be quite expensive, so don't leave any loot-ables unattended! Below, you can see a list of every attachment and the requirements for each:

http://i.exophase.com/xbox/awards/171c900a/s/75372.png Derp - 20 :gsicon:

Jump Down from 50 Meters

 

An ideal location to perform this jump is near a cliffside waterfall immediately after liberating the first garrison. The coordiantes you’ll want to mark are X: 524.3, Y: 463.9. Once the coordinates are placed, they will appear on the in-game map. Make your way over to the cliff, and simply sprint off the edge. When you land in the body of water below, the achievement will unlock.

 

Alternatively, you can also get this achievement naturally by progressing through the main storyline, as you will need to jump a great height off the dam during the second Mission. The fall will not kill you, and it will unlock the achievement. You can even get this achievement by using one of the random hand gliders found on the island, and jumping off of it midair into a body of water.

Find all TV SETS to Decrypt the Hidden Message

 

There are a total of 32 TV SETS within the game. You can purchase a collectible map at a vendor inside a garrison to reveal their location on the world map. There are four maps in total; North East, North West, South East, and South West. Each map will cost $500 and will only be available for purchase once you have liberated a garrison within that region of the island.

http://i.exophase.com/xbox/awards/bc3956f2/s/75374.png The Only True Stopper - 15 :gsicon:

Headshot Every Type of Enemy

 

There are 11 different enemies in the game, so make sure you are on the lookout for them when liberating a garrison or tackling the main quests.

 

The best weapon to pull off headshots with would surprisingly be the pistol. Ironically, the sniper rifle and bow are not entirely recommended, as they're accuracy isn't too stable and they leave you extremely vulnerable to oncoming fire if you miss your shot.

 

Make sure to note the differences between every enemy. Most of them can be told apart from the weapon they are using. Also, if you are using your "binoculars" to tag enemies, you will notice unique icons above their person which specify which category they fall under: Assault, Sniper, Runner, and Heavy. Below, you can see a list of all enemy types:

  • Assault - wielding a Fazortron Machine Gun
  • Elite Assault - wielding a Fazortron Machine Gun
  • Elite Assault - wielding a Galleria 1991 Shotgun
  • Sniper - wielding a Kobracon Sniper Rifle
  • Elite Sniper - wielding a Kobracon Sniper Rifle
  • Runner - wielding Molotov's
  • Heavy - wielding a Terror 4000 Gatling Gun
  • Heavy - wielding a Flamethrower
  • Undead - wielding a tantoo knife
  • Undead - wielding Galleria 1991 Shotgun
  • Undead - wielding Molotov's

Be sure to score your headshots on all the Undead enemies before completing Mission 6 because they DO NOT respawn around the island post-game.

 

Additionally, make sure you do not miss the "Elite" variants of the Assault and Sniper soldiers. You can tell the Elite soldiers apart from their standard counterpart by their yellow outfits, whereas the regular soldiers have red/pink outfits. Overall, this achievement shouldn't be a problem if you are taking the combat slowly and making sure you headshot every new enemy you encounter across the main quests.

Derp you can unlock through normal story progression, there is a point in a mission where you have to jump from a great height & you get it when you land

 

True, but that's later on in the game. The video presented here shows how you can get it right away after liberating the first outpost!

I have 11/12 animals, pretty sure I am also missing the snakes. I think I saw one by the dam, but got caught up with something else and forgot.

 

I'll head back there now and see what I can find!

 

This was quickly posted. Thanks.

 

I always try to get my DLC/Arcade games complete the morning of release so I can post the guide by mid-day! No problem :)

My game is currently downloading. Most of the descriptions seem simple enough, glad it doesn't take forever to finish the game too. Solid work.

 

Yeah nothing too hard here. Maybe killing a Blood Dragon with now cause it's a tad annoying, but everything else is easy! It's a great game too :D

 

Just got attacked by my first snake, after a while.

 

It attacked me at TV Set #2 (X: 537.0, Y: 404.0), on the ruins.

 

[X: 535.6, Y:403.3] to be exact, although I heard them hissing from metres away.

 

I'm going to have to check here next because I wasn't able to find any near the damn. Lets hope that spot works!

Does anyone know the exact number of enemy types you have to headshot for The Only True Stopper achievement? I have headshotted what I think to be every enemy type including the running dead and have not had it pop up yet.

Make sure you get the headshot on the heavy flamers, you will get an explosion kill very easy on those guys. And for the headshots if you shoot every type of enemy you ran across.

You can define them by weapon type, different weapon is an different enemy.

 

Edit,

 

My last hostage rescue mission only showed up after i completed the game, I dont know if this is normal?

Yep, I've made sure to headshot the flamers as well as the Molotov guys as they can also explode. Even the sniper enemies that shoot rockets, still no idea what I'm missing.
