The game does everything that made olderFar Crygames good but adds new stuff into the mix.Far Cry 6was released in late 2021 and has received a decent amount of praise from both players and critics alike.

Since it is one of the biggestFar Crygames ever, there is a lot to explore on the fictional island of Yara. There are tons of Easter eggs, fun gameplay opportunities, and, most importantly, unique (often well-hidden) locations throughout the game. However, only thebest secret locations inFar Cry 6are worth seeking out.
Updated on July 25, 2025, by Stephen LaGioia:As is the case with many Ubisoft titles,Far Cry 6 has seen a steady stream of notable post-launch content, by way of DLC and crossover events that harken back to previous FC games and other media like Rambo and Stranger Things.
But even when focusing on the core experience, the Caribbean island of Yara is brimming with things to do, places to discover — and cryptic secrets to uncover. And with so many hidden locations yet to be explored, we decided to revisit and flesh out this list of hard-to-find locations and focal points made for experts.Warning: This contains minor spoilers.
19Game Over: A Subtle Aliens Reference
Being relatively short, many side missions are a great opportunity to go exploring and perhaps find some hidden places or details. One such quest is the missionSpur of the Moment,which holds an amusing reference to 1986’sAliens.Dani must check out a secluded bunker that oddly holds genetically modified chickens.
When exploring further, the scene resembles an iconic scene from the sci-fi thriller, and Dani is heard saying the heavily-quoted line by Private Hudson, “game over, man” when descending into a cave.
18A Cat Island Paradise
Revisiting a staple Ubisoft easter egg, players can come upon a small island off theEast coast of Valle de Oro’s Barrial region.It is on the far North-East corner of the map, on the east side of Tormentoso Bay. A tiny island on the south end of a string of islands features some cats on a boat.
As it’s rather off the beaten path, it can be tricky to reach by boat or plane. However, one fairly close way is theRuben Airstrip Pickup,a way to the northwest of the cat-inhabited island.
17A Rare Unicorn Appears
Along with finding a powerful light machine gun, theMG42,players can obtain a fun bonus — a unicorn mount with this secret. This amusing, but tricky, Treasure Hunt is at theTorrest Warehouse in northern Sierra Perdida, El Este.The Treasure Hunt is named ‘Sweet Fifteen’.
The result will be a mini-party scene with some celebratory flair, and an open door leading to the covetedUnicorn.Rather, it’s a horse vaguely made up to look like a Unicorn, but it’s still a neat find!
16A Parting (And Explosive) Gift
One of the trickier Treasure Hunts isA Parting Gift,which sits on the eastern side ofConuco, and a bit north of Sombreado Gorge.
15A Glowing Trinket From Indiana Jones
One of the many references Ubisoft subtly tosses intoFar Cry 6is a nod to the iconic adventure franchiseIndiana Jones, specificallyKingdom of the Crystal Skull. Players should engage in the Treasure Hunt calledThe Emerald Skull,which can be initiated inConuco, on the eastern side ofConcepcion.Dani will be directed to a cave with a small, skull-like opening.

After grappling across some obstacles, players will notice a deceased man cradling a glowing green “unlucky skull.” They’ll also find a note on a small table nearby with candles and a skull addressing Dr. Halfman; a nod to an adventure novel protagonist whichIndiana Jonesitself used as a template for its star adventurer.
14A Secluded Supercharged Weapon
There is no shortage of explosive weapons to obtain inFar Cry6.One fairly well-hidden one, known as theSuperchargershotgun, is worth going out of the way to seek out. The weapon is a unique, powerful variant of theSPAS-12 Shotgun,with a suppressor that makes it a great stealth weapon.
13Vaas Chibis
There are more than a few callbacks to the fan-favoriteFar Cry 3and its memorable villain Vaas — especially from the Vaas: Insanity DLC. One of several collectibles within this added content isthe adorable Vaas chibis that can be found scattered throughout the map.
Players will need tolocate all ten and shoot at them,which provides the “Puff, Puff, Vaas"Trophy/Achievement in FC6, as well as granting aLil Vaas bobbleheadfor Dani’s car in the main game. While this sounds pretty simple, this can be a rather tricky scavenger hunt. This is because these items are quite small and often perched atop high, distant areas or other well-hidden spots — and waypoints are absent.
12Hidden Text So Small Players Need A Sniper Scope
This one serves as a small, yet amusing Easter egg, which can be sought out at theFND Special Forces Base on the northern shore.To find it, players should head to the armory, where they can find a framed blue and orange jersey. Just underneath the jersey is a gold plaque with tiny text printed on it.
While the text on the bottom looks quite small and illegible, players can look at it using a scoped sniper rifle to read it. Ironically, it reads,“this text is so small, and you can’t read it.“Checkmate, Ubisoft!
11Joesph Seed DLC Secret Ending
Joseph: Collapse is the third DLC pack released forFar Cry 6, and it proves to be particularly intense. The content features roguelike gameplay where players take the role ofthe cult leader of Eden’s Gate. Players will gather three pieces of his broken cross to gain “Penance”, and explore his twisted mind as well as his past.

This memorable trip forks into a few possible endings, including a somber “secret” ending, which ends on a far more personal note. This is initiated when completing the DLCon the highest difficulty.
10Mesozoic Park
It seems like Ubisoft has honored the great Steven Spielberg by creating their version ofJurassic ParkinFar Cry 6. Mesozoic Park is a location in Yara that closely resembles the park’s gate from the famous movie. Though the reference also extends to its name. Mesozoic denotes the era that comprises the Jurassic period. Hence the in-game park is more or less the same.
The easiest way to find the location is to talk toLolain the main guerrilla campsiteand play the Special Operation named ‘Mesozoico.’ Players will be blown away by the attention to the details of this lush park.
