Follow this Far Cry Primal guide to recruit Tensay, tame the owl, and unlock its powerful abilities for reconnaissance and combat.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After retrieving Sayla's healing plants, craft spears. You start with two, with four damage, durability, and agility upgrades available. Thrown spears can be retrieved.
  2. 2
    Travel northeast towards Nakuti Bonfire, harvesting resources like boars (2 hides for Guts Bag upgrade) and dholes (3 skins for quiver upgrade to 16 arrows).
  3. 3
    Complete Wenja events for XP and village population. Pursue rare animals with yellow scent trails for essential hides.
  4. 4
    Use the game trail on the map for easier terrain, or climb vines on the west side of the crag to reach Nakuti Bonfire.
  5. 5
    Claim Nakuti Bonfire by lighting a club or arrow at the fire and igniting the pyre. This grants 400 XP, adds three Wenja to the village, and provides a resource stash, spawn point, and fast travel.
  6. 6
    Use a skill point on Extra Health 1.
  7. 7
    Sleep at the bonfire until dawn to avoid nighttime predators.
  8. 8
    Head east towards Tensay's marker, using the hunting trail for a less challenging route to the shaman's cave.
  9. 9
    Enter the cave and meet Tensay. Drink his elixir.
  10. 10
    Follow the stream past herbivores to a shining owl. After it flies off and you fall, you gain the ability to fly.
  11. 11
    Follow the owl through the forest and water.
  12. 12
    Upon reaching land among predators, interact with the owl to tame it. It becomes your eye in the sky and can be upgraded for attack.
Tips
  • Upgrade your spear progressively; it's a formidable weapon, especially when thrown and retrieved.
  • Collect resources diligently for gear and bag upgrades.
  • Acquire the Owl: Attack 1 skill (costs 1 skill point, requires building a hut for the shaman) as soon as possible. This allows the owl to perform recon, kill normal enemies, free caged animals, and hunt lower-level animals, including Rare White Deer.
  • Additional skills in Tensay's tree shorten the owl's cooldown, and Owl: Attack 2 enables it to kill most elite enemies.
  • Recruit Tensay
  • Tame the Owl
  • 400 XP from Nakuti Bonfire
  • 3 Wenja added to the village
