SinceFar Cry 4, numbered entries in the franchise have offered fans an alternate ending. These are interesting for fans, even if they know it’s not a real ending and fans will continue on with the game after. For these endings, players only need to playFar Cry 4for about 30 minutes,Far Cry 5for about 10, andFar Cry 6for roughly an hour or so.
There’s not much depth to these; they are alternate options that essentially lead to alternate universes. Perhaps the best modern-day analogy is that these decisions create variants, like seen inLokiand the titular character’s dealings with the TVA, where entirely different decisions are made, but they are not part of the proper timeline. Of course, these games have multiple real endings too, but no matter what, the alternate endings are pretty straightforward.NOTE: POSSIBLE SPOILERSforFar Cry 6are detailed below.

Far Cry 4 Alternate, Secret Ending
Early inFar Cry 4, players will meetPagan Minand be left alone in a room to eat. This is where the story picks up after Ajay leaves, but if players choose to wait 15 minutes, Pagan Min will return. He’ll explain his relationship with Ajay’s mother, what Ajay’s father did, and show Ajay where his half-sister’s memorial is so he can put his mother’s ashes there too. The end implies Ajay and Pagan Min then team up against the would-be allies in a normalFar Cry 4run.
Alternatively, there is asecond alternate ending inFar Cry 4. As Pagan Min flies off at the end of the game, players can take out an RPG, shoot him down, and later return to loot the crashed helicopter.
Far Cry 5 Alternate, Secret Ending
Early inFar Cry 5, the player will needto arrest Joseph Seedand must press a button to do so. Waiting, instead, for a minute or two will see some commentary from Seed, and then the Sheriff will essentially say it’s not worth it. Arresting Joseph means they won’t leave alive, implies the sheriff, and then they just leave. In comparison toFar Cry 4and even the newFar Cry 6, it’s not the flashiest alternate ending.
Far Cry 6 Alternate, Secret Ending
Unlike the past two games,Far Cry 6’s alternate endingtakes a little longer to kick in. Players will need to complete the entire intro where they try to escape to Miami, end up assisting Libertad, and take out Castillo’s warships. At this interval, players will have a boat and can either take it or join Libertad. Taking a boat and sailing toward the edge of the map unlocks this ending, where Dani makes it to Miami safe and sound. They are shown on a beach, while the radio details Libertad’s failed attempt to defeat Yaran dictator Anton Castillo.
Far Cry 6is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
