Far Cry Primal: Crafting, Village & Skills Guide

AntMag.NET

Gathering resources like wood, stone, and animal hides is crucial for crafting weapons, gear, and village huts in Far Cry Primal. Completing missions and recruiting specialists unlocks new crafting options. For instance, collecting dhole hides allows for a larger quiver, while recruiting a Wenja specialist and upgrading their hut enables weapon and gear enhancements. Plants can be used to craft health and boost items. Resources are found by hunting, scavenging, looting bodies, and from stashes at outposts and campfires. Sayla's gathering skills can increase resource yield.

Takkar's base of operations begins as Sayla's shelter. As the game progresses, Takkar must recruit four Wenja specialists and gather resources to build and upgrade huts for them, Sayla, and his own cave. The village expands with each new Wenja. Later, two enemy leaders are also recruited, requiring their own huts. Each hut and the cave have upgrades that demand rare resources and a village population of at least 40 (50 for leader huts). Village population increases by completing main and optional missions, and Wenja events. Building or upgrading huts often unlocks new gear, such as the long bow after upgrading Jayma's hut or winter clothing after building Karoosh's hut. Huts also enable or expand skill trees and provide significant XP, making their construction and upgrades a high priority.

As the campaign advances and specialists are recruited, skill trees become available. Your playstyle influences your character's development. The following skill progression is based on a standard campaign path, but players undertaking numerous side missions can earn skill points more rapidly. Prioritize skills that enhance main missions or gameplay, such as Tame Wildcats before recruiting Wogan or Mammoth Rider before the 'Stomp Udam' mission. Side missions, while optional, offer substantial XP for skill acquisition and provide diverse gameplay experiences. Skills like Beast Rider (levels 26 and 27) and their prerequisites can be prioritized once a brown bear or sabretooth is tamed, allowing for faster travel across Oros Valley.
