Alright, so you're looking to tackle the 'Rare Path of the Hunter' side missions in Far Cry 3? These are pretty cool because they let you hunt down some seriously unique and dangerous animals. It's a great way to earn some extra cash and practice your hunting skills. You'll need to track down specific rare beasts and take them down using the right gear.
The missions are broken down into two main types: 'Hunter Hunted,' where you just need to lure and kill a predator, and 'Poacher,' which requires you to hunt and skin a rare animal. Each one has a specific reward, usually in USD, and some are worth a good chunk of change.
Here's the lowdown on the rare animals you'll be tracking:
| Animal | Location | Weapon | Reward (in USD) |
| Albino Crocodile | Bridge Control | Machete | 450 |
| Black Panther | X: 353.3, Y: 702.1 | Bow | 250 |
| Blood Komodo | Cliffside Overlook | Bow | 225 |
| Golden Tiger | Mosquito Yard | Bow | 250 |
| Maneater Shark | Kell’s Boat Repairs | Bow | 275 |
| One Horn | Camp Murder | Shotgun | 200 |
| Undying Bear | Cradle Gas | Shotgun | 275 |
| White Belly Tapir | Rust Yard | Bow | 225 |
| Yellow Neck Cassowary | AM 12 | Sniper Rifle | 225 |
- Patience is Key: These animals are rare for a reason. You might need to hang around the general area for a bit before they show up.
- Stealth Matters: Getting too close or making too much noise can scare them off. Use your binoculars to spot them from a distance and plan your approach.
- Use the Right Weapon: The table above tells you the recommended weapon. Using the wrong one might make the kill harder or even impossible for certain missions. For example, trying to take down a Black Panther with a shotgun up close is a bad idea – a bow is much better for stealth and distance.
- Know Your Enemy: Some of these animals are incredibly dangerous. The Albino Crocodile and Undying Bear, for instance, can take you down fast if you're not prepared. Make sure you've got good gear and health before you go hunting.
- Location, Location, Location: Pay close attention to the coordinates or landmark names. Sometimes a slight misstep means you're in the wrong spot entirely.
Good luck out there, hunter. These missions are a fantastic way to really immerse yourself in the wild side of Far Cry 3 and come out with some serious rewards!
