Far Cry Primal: Beginners’ Tips and Tricks

Play At Least Until You Learn the First Beast Master Skills

Far Cry Primal drops players into the brand new setting of Oros after a brief tutorial section. From this point on, players are free to roam as they please. While the world is pretty and there’s plenty to do from the very beginning, it’s best that you hold off on exploring until playing the first few story missions.

Doing so will get you the club, the bow, some XP for skills, and, most importantly, the first Beast Master Skills. These include the owl for scouting, and the ability to tame dholes and wolves. Although these are the weakest companions you can have, they are certainly better than no companion. Taking down outposts or bonfires, or even just hunting deer is much easier after you’ve acquired the preliminary skills and tools.
