Complete the Take Cover (S) mission in far cry 4, available after choosing Sabal and finishing Cease and Desist.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After a cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically) where Sabal sends you to Utkarsh because it's being hit by artillery, you must hurry. A meter at the top of the HUD (heads-up display — the on-screen icons showing health, ammo and the minimap) (heads-up display — the on-screen icons showing health, ammo and the minimap (the small circular map in the bottom-left corner of your screen)) indicates how much time you have before you fail.
  2. 2
    You'll likely encounter enemies on the road; it's best to blow past them.
  3. 3
    Once you reach Utkarsh, the timer disappears. Go to the marked house and talk to a civilian at the window to trigger the next part.
  4. 4
    Defend the town from waves of enemies. The first wave will include at least two Heavies and other enemies.
  5. 5
    Sabal will warn you that artillery fire is incoming and to take cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects). Quickly run to one of the marked points and hide.
  6. 6
    After the first artillery strike, Sabal will inform you that one cannon has been destroyed, but two remain.
  7. 7
    Prepare for two more waves of enemies, each followed by an artillery strike. As soon as you see the artillery warning, ignore the enemies and hide in the marked cover points.
  8. 8
    The mission ends after the third artillery strike.
Tips
  • When the artillery warning appears, prioritize reaching cover over fighting enemies.
  • The meter at the top of the screen is crucial; keep an eye on it and move quickly.
