Follow our step-by-step guide to complete the Salvation mission in Far Cry 5. Learn how to secure the area, ambush the Priestess, and save hostages.
Walkthrough
- 1After liberating Hope County Jail, speak with the Sheriff and agree to help find the missing resistance fighters.
- 2Travel northeast of the Jail to the location known as The Misery. Prepare for the mission.
- 3Approach The Misery from the north, using binoculars to tag cultists. Prioritize Marksmen and cultists with alarm icons, as they can call for reinforcements and harm hostages.
- 4Infiltrate the main building from inside, using a Zipline to get onto the boat.
- 5Turn right upon entering, drop down one level, and stealthily eliminate the cultist behind you. Do not release hostages until the area is clear.
- 6Turn left, take the stairs up, and eliminate the first reinforcement cultist encountered. Stash the body to avoid detection.
- 7Go back outside, ascend the stairs, and dispatch the cultist near another hostage.
- 8Descend the stairs, climb the ladder at the far end, and eliminate the cultist looking into the distance. Alternatively, wait for him to move and perform a drop attack.
- 9Return down the ladder, turn around, and head towards the previously climbed stairs. Turn again to find a ladder leading to the top, behind the Marksman cultist. Eliminate him.
- 10From the Marksman's position, wait for a cultist below to turn their back, then drop onto the hostage-assaulting cultist and quickly take out the nearby one.
- 11The final cultist is outside the entrance. Wait for them to walk below you and perform a takedown. The area should now be secure, and you'll be alerted to the Priestess's arrival.
- 12Quickly move to the objective marker. Throw a Proximity Explosive near the Priestess's expected arrival point.
- 13Retreat to the boat's entrance, aim out the window, and wait. If the explosive is placed correctly, the Priestess's truck will explode, killing her.
- 14If the Priestess survives, deal with her and the two accompanying cultists. A rocket launcher is effective for a quick takedown.
- 15Proceed to liberate the hostages located on the bottom, middle, and top levels of The Misery.
- 16Free the final hostage in the cage by interacting with the nearby button.
