The walk away ending sees Seed hold his ground and the team of protagonists opt to live to die another day. For anyone interested in playing the game, however, there are two choices of endings: walk away or resist. Ironically, the situation in which Seed is most likely to have died is the secret ending in which the player refuses to arrest Seed at the very beginning of the game. Somewhat breaking from the trend Far Cry 5’s Joseph Seed is specifically shown to have survived the various optional endings of the story. While yes, there is a means of explicitly killing Min at the end of Far Cry 4, when accounting for the secret ending at the beginning of the game, two of the four possible endings see Pagan Min surviving, and one more ends in a presumed death for Min that could very easily be retconned. After the events of Far Cry 4 and the player has chosen to kill either Amita or Sabal, Ajay has a final meeting with Pagan Min and one opportunity to kill Min followed by an opportunity to either let him go or shoot down his helicopter. Pagan Min, known colloquially as “The King” of Kyrat was also seemingly granted a pardon by either the player or at the very least, the player’s presumption. While in his description one of the roles ends in suicide this is the last the player sees of The Jackal and as such, there is no way of knowing if The Jackal is dead at the end of the game. The American arms dealer The Jackal who is the primary antagonist of Far Cry 2 makes his final appearance in a scene in which he explains his plan for the climax of the game to the player character and then gives the player the choice of which role they want to play in this plan. This pattern of the ambiguous death wasn’t even started with Vaas either. We as the audience never see Vaas’ dead body but instead are meant to assume that Vaas is dead despite his “death” having occurred in a hallucination. It’s at this point that Jason awoke and Vaas was never seen or heard from again, until the end of the events in Yara. After telling Citra of Vaas’ death, Brody looks at Vaas’ face, and seemingly in a final act of torture Vaas’ eyes dart up to meet Jason’s. In this scene, Vaas falls to the ground, presumably dead, and Jason collapses beside him. Toward the end of an involuntary drug trip in the final act of that game, Jason Brody fought Vaas and triumphed by stabbing him multiple times in the chest. Vaas was supposed to have died at the conclusion of Far Cry 3. After this explanation Juan asks for confirmation of their meeting up at the “same time next week” to which Vaas responds “oh you can bet your life on it” and the post-credits scene ends. Vaas then attempts to explain the incident to Juan as some people simply being sick in the mind and out of control. Vaas goes on to describe Anton’s murdering Diego as “crazy” to which Juan agrees and calls the incident a tragedy. Vaas - or at least a smuggler that sounds exactly like Vaas, expresses his sympathies for the death of Diego Castillo during the post-credits scene. Ubisoft has seemingly been planting seeds for the past 13 years and based on the Far Cry 6 post-credits scene, it may finally be time to start reaping the benefits.Īny player who sat through Far Cry 6‘ credits was treated afterward with a brief audio conversation between Juan and another character the subtitles simply refer to as “smuggler.” After Juan thanks the smuggler for his support and informs him that the supply of viviro (the cancer-curing drug from the main story of Far Cry 6) has tripled, the player hears their voice - one that long time Far Cry fans will be familiar with. The return of Vaas brings into question the true fate of all past Far Cry villains, and the pattern of what now seems to be intentional obscurity surrounding their deaths. With the release of Far Cry 6 last week, any fans that have completed the main story and watched all the way through the credits were treated to a pretty big surprise. If you have not finished any of these games (or have seen 6’s post-credit sequence) and do not want to be spoiled, stop reading now! You have been warned! SPOILER WARNING: This article contains spoilers for the main story of Far Cry 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 ahead.
