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
  1. 1
    After liberating Hope County Jail, speak with the Sheriff and agree to help find the missing resistance fighters.
  2. 2
    Travel northeast of the Jail to the location known as The Misery. Prepare for the mission.
  3. 3
    Approach 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.
  4. 4
    Infiltrate the main building from inside, using a Zipline to get onto the boat.
  5. 5
    Turn right upon entering, drop down one level, and stealthily eliminate the cultist behind you. Do not release hostages until the area is clear.
  6. 6
    Turn left, take the stairs up, and eliminate the first reinforcement cultist encountered. Stash the body to avoid detection.
  7. 7
    Go back outside, ascend the stairs, and dispatch the cultist near another hostage.
  8. 8
    Descend 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.
  9. 9
    Return 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.
  10. 10
    From 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.
  11. 11
    The 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.
  12. 12
    Quickly move to the objective marker. Throw a Proximity Explosive near the Priestess's expected arrival point.
  13. 13
    Retreat 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.
  14. 14
    If the Priestess survives, deal with her and the two accompanying cultists. A rocket launcher is effective for a quick takedown.
  15. 15
    Proceed to liberate the hostages located on the bottom, middle, and top levels of The Misery.
  16. 16
    Free the final hostage in the cage by interacting with the nearby button.
Tips
  • Approaching from the north allows for a good vantage point with binoculars to tag enemies.
  • Prioritize eliminating cultists who can sound alarms to prevent reinforcements.
  • Stealth is key; avoid alerting cultists to prevent hostages from being harmed.
  • Use Ziplines and ladders for strategic positioning and takedowns.
  • Proximity Explosives are highly effective for ambushing the Priestess.
