![]() I continue on and meet with Jayma the hunter. He promises to meet me back at the village. I save him from some Udam and burn a few of their corpses. I first set off to find Karoosh, a notable warrior who lost both his eye and his son to a guy named Mog. They are conveniently highlighted on the map, and three of them seem to be within easy reach. I head off into the valley in search of specialists to join our village. The Udam seemed ill, and what was the signifance of the figurine? The shaman says he will meditate on this. Once I return to the real world, Tensay and I talk briefly. ‘Why do we keep dying?’ I hear the Udam ask. I follow the figurine around, which grows to become gigantic, and have to defeat Udam as I go. They venerate a figurine modelled after the Venus of Willendorf (which actually predates the game’s setting by at least 15,000 years, though similar ones have been found that are as late as 11,000 years ago). He again feeds me a skull filled with blood and adds two eyes removed from an Udam corpse, so I can “See through eyes of Udam.” This starts off the ‘Vision of Ice’. The figurine is modelled after the famous “Venus of Willendorf”.īack in the village, I see that our local shaman wants to talk to me. ![]() I promise that soon I will take the fight to the Udam and destroy Ull with my own hands. Sayla is covered in blood and angry about the losses we sustained. Some Wenja also join me in the fight, and my cave lion again proves invaluable. I do so by stealthily approaching the camp and setting fire to it from three sides, then killing the Udam that remain. The Udam are repelled with some difficulty. Sure enough, they begin their assault almost immediately, and I come face to face with Ull, the leader of the Udam and one of my main enemies in the game. It turns out that some Udam are about to attack the village. ![]() I return and find that Sayla has a mission for me. Soon, I get a notification that I have enough materials to upgrade a hut or two back in the village. A little later, I rescue a Wenja prisoner from a number of Udam captors, making good use of the remarkably strong and quick black cave lion I tamed only a little later. It seems reasonable to suppose that similar customs existed in the Palaeolithic and Mesolithic.Īs I explore Oros, I help a small group of Wenja defend against Udam attackers. The Inuit use stacked stones to show that humans were there and you’re not in serious danger of getting lost. ![]() But in some parts of the world, to this day, people occasionally stack stones to serve as markers. Archaeologically, the remains would be hard to identify, since the stones are unworked and the stacks would have collapsed and dispersed over time. (More elaborate ones are often referred to as cairns.) We don’t really know if Palaeolithic or Mesolithic people built such structures, but it doesn’t seem too far-fetched that people would have marked certain points in the landscape in a manner comparable to this. There are neat touches that the developers added to the valley of Oros, such as the stacked stones depicted above. I will write more about the different tribes in a future instalment in this series. The two rival tribes are from either end of this geographic spectrum: the cannibalistic Udam are from the north, while the fire-worshipping Izila are from the south. In the south, the climate is milder, with marshy areas. Most of the map seems to consist of temperate forest land, but it doesn’t take long to reach the northern regions, which are covered with snow and require me to wear heavier clothing (which I hadn’t yet unlocked) to avoid freezing to death. You can comfortably run from one end of the map within what I would guess is about a half hour’s worth of time. In any event, it’s another example of the developers throwing in a species of animal for what I assume is variety’s sake.Īs is the case in many open world games, the geography is very compressed in Far Cry Primal. dogs turned feral), but they are indeed closely related to the genus Canis. The game refers to them as wild dogs, which implies something that they’re not (i.e. They are common throughout Asia, however. Like the Smilodon mentioned before, dholes didn’t exist in Europe. I spent an hour just going around and solving little missions. There are a lot of beautiful things to see as you run across Oros. Time to find them and persuade them to join our little settlement. There are a few people in particular that have been marked on my map. Sayla gave us another task: to find more people with which to populate our village. ![]() Previously, we spent some time in Tutorial Land, rescued a young woman named Sayla, found a missing shaman by the name of Tensay, and finally went out to tame a wolf and rescue some wandering Wenja. ![]()
