Welcome to PlayStation LifeStyle’s Trophy Guide for Far Cry 4! There are 51 Trophies to be earned and this will be a pretty easy Platinum. It’s more time consuming rather than difficult. A majority of the Trophies are tied to finding a small portion of the collectibles and mission completion. As you progress through the game’s main story, more side missions will become available. Liberating Outposts and Bell Tower’s will also unlock side missions. A portion of the collectibles will be revealed on the map as you take care of the Outposts and Bell Towers. You can buy maps from the Trading Posts that will fully reveal the locations of the collectibles. Everything is expensive in the game so, be sure to search bodies and loot chests. Both will give large amounts of money in addition to the rewards earned by completing missions. None of the Trophies are missable and there is free roam after you complete the main story to pick up anything you have left.
Spoiler Alert: There are spoilers within the guide. If you’re trying to avoid spoilers, it’s recommended that you complete the game before reading any further.

Tread Lightly – Bronze
– Liberate any Outpost without triggering an alarm in any mode (Campaign only).
This Trophy is easiest earned on the very first Outpost that will have to liberate as part of the story.

After you’ve done that, look for the elephant that is locked in a cage. On the gate of the cage there is a lock that if shot, will free the elephant and it will kill all of the soldiers for you. Aim for the lock and shoot it with the bow, (the bow is silent and won’t alert the enemy) once the elephant is out, sit back and let it clear the Outpost for you. The enemy won’t trigger an alarm for animal attacks.

Molotovs and the Flamethrower are best for this Trophy. Molotovs can be bought at Trading Posts early in the game. The Flamethrower can be found later into the story.
