The Atonement

Follow this Far Cry 5 walkthrough to complete 'The Atonement' mission. Learn how to defeat cultists, escape John Seed, and pursue him to his ranch.

Alright, so you've hit Level 4 Resistance in Holland Valley. John Seed's gonna call you up and demand you meet him at Fall's End. This kicks off a whole sequence of missions, so make sure you're geared up before you head to that church.

When John starts talking, whatever you do, do NOT say "Yes". Just refuse him, and you'll get control back.

Secure the church

You'll be stuck in the church with John making his getaway. Your best bet is to duck behind one of the benches and switch to your assault rifle. Take out the first wave of cultists that come at you. There'll be one more who rushes in, so deal with him, and then it's time to head outside. You'll find two more cultists waiting for you. Once they're all down, hop into the turret on the back of the truck. Mary May will take the wheel, and you'll chase after John.

Ride to John Seed’s Ranch

This is where things get wild. You'll be on a high-speed chase towards the Seed Ranch, with pickup trucks, quads, and planes all trying to take you down. Keep an eye on your compass to see where the threats are coming from. For the pickup trucks, you can either shoot the driver or aim for the tires. The quads are a bit easier – just take out the driver quickly. The planes are the trickiest; you need to wait until they swoop down close to you before opening fire. They don't take many bullets to bring down.

Tip: Wait for the planes to descend towards you.

As you get closer to the ranch, you'll spot a pickup truck parked by a silo on the side of the road, complete with a mounted gunner. You need to take out that gunner ASAP before they do too much damage to you. When you finally reach the ranch, Mary May will drive you towards the hangar. Don't worry about the enemies here; just jump into a plane. This will wrap up the mission and kick off the next one, 'Wrath'.
