5 Things You Absolutely Must Do in Far Cry 4

4. Enter Shangri-La

After completing your first mission with Yogi and Reggie, mystic thangkas (or paintings) will start appearing on your map. Finding one of these will allow you to enter the mythical land of Shangri-La, where you take on the role of Kalinag and relive his journey and attempts to stop the Rakshasa from invading the paradise. Armed with a bow and arrow, and a spirit tiger by your side, the Shangri-La missions start off a little slow before quickly ascending into a heart-pounding climax when elephants and fire-breathing demons get thrown into the mix.

These segments are a welcome change of pace from the usual run-and-gun missions you see in Far Cry 4 and certainly help to add to the world’s intriguing lore.
