Need help with the 'Tagging the Past' optional mission in Far Cry 3? Follow our guide to find all three dog tags and get your reward.

Alright, so you've stumbled upon the 'Tagging the Past' mission, huh? It's a pretty straightforward one, located southeast of the Valsa Docks outpost. You'll find a guy outside a shack at the top of a hill who's got a business going: finding dog tags from fallen Japanese soldiers and shipping their bodies back to their families for a fee. He'll give you a bit of a discount if you help him out, and honestly, it's a good way to snag some extra cash.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The mission giver will point you towards three general areas to find the dog tags. You won't get exact markers, so you'll have to do a little searching.
  2. 2
    For the first tag, head north. Look for a soldier leaning up against a cannon – that's your guy.
  3. 3
    Next, head west. You'll find another soldier resting against a wall, also near a cannon.
  4. 4
    The third soldier is located to the south. This one's a bit trickier as he's in an underground bunker. You can either find a ladder in the maze-like part of the bunker or go through an opening near the cannon. He'll be on the stairs.
  5. 5
    Once you've collected all three dog tags, bring them back to the mission giver.
Tips
  • Don't get discouraged if you can't find the bodies immediately. The game gives you general areas, so keep your eyes peeled around the specified landmarks like cannons and bunker entrances.
  • The southern body is the only one in an underground area, so be prepared to explore a bit more for that one.

Successfully completing this mission will net you $500.
