How do I get access to the north?

[Kowalczyk]

I've been playing this for many hours now, and I've just about done most of what you can do in the starting area.

I don't see any campaign mission markers on the map at all, no A, S, L, W or anything like that. However, the north stays closed to me, and I have no idea how to go forward any more.

Any help out there? Many thanks if you try!

you have to do side missions as well as main ones ..do all reggie an yogi ones
do all longunis ones as well

you will not get the mission a key to the north till you beat all 3 willis missions too

if your lost look here for a missions list

make sure you look for a B on your map as well as you must meet up with Bhadra by the lake to give you a clue about your fathers home

Thanks for the reply, and link!

I have met Bhadra, and finished renovating the parent's house, done the L missions as far as I could, and I see no more letters on the map to do, never even seen a W anywhere! Maybe I have a bug or something!

I'll look through the mission list and see if I can find anything

verify your game files then

but you will not hear from willis until you finish the chemistry mission

Amita Mission: Advanced Chemistry
or
Sabal Mission: Basic Chemistry

and have completed the into to shagri la from yogi and reg
and have completed the mission when you confront Noore

So I finally managed to move forward! When I fast-travelled somewhere, suddenly an 'A' became visible in my view (not on the map, though), and then I could do more missions.

I don't know why the A was not visible before, but thanks for all your help!

yea maybe the sleeping saint mission ..its easy to miss that A in the south

also there is a good mod out for FAR CRY 4 it allows you to play in the north anytime you wish,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, look into it after your first play through
https://www.nexusmods.com/farcry4/mods/26

unlocks other features as well

FAR CRY 4 OPEN WORLD MOD!

This mod opens the game up from the start so that you can enjoy it any way you like (even bypassing the campaign if you wish)

Features:

Unlocks all the weapons and signature weapons in the shop (you still have to buy them of course)

Adds the ability to buy attachments for all weapons (aka the Attachments Mod)

Adds back the ACE signature version of the A52 Assualt Rifle that was cut from the game by Ubi (for some starnge reason). You can purchase this just like any other signature weapon.

Removes all the requirements from skills so you can purchase them whenever you like (you still need to acquire them in order - i.e. one health slot, then 2 health slots, then 3 health slots, etc.) but you no longer have to wait until later in the game to buy them nor do you have to do "x" amount of certain things to unlock them.

Opens the North from the very beginning of the game. It will still be covered in fog until you climb bell towers to remove the "fog of war". The Kings Bridge will still warn you "Dangerous Territory Ahead" when you try to go into the north, but the game will not prevent you from doing so should you wish to.

The only items still "locked" are the items you gain access to from the Trade Agreement Skill (sticky explosives and fire/explosive arrows) since that is the only purpose of the skill. Also the Guns for Hire abilities require certain levels of Karma which makes sense because the Golden Path is only going to help you if you help the people of Kyrat. Otherwise all guns, etc. are unlocked from the very beginning.

The intro logo videos are removed for faster startup of the game.

Includes optional save games to jump start you at after the prologue (so you can skip dinner with Pagan and Darpan if you want) and also after the first Outpost is liberated (so you can skip all of the "tutorial" type missions if you want - the wolfs den, climbing the first bell tower, etc.)


Also available is an optional version which contains additional improvements to the default game:

Removes seeing enemies through walls
Removes enemies on the minimap
Removes Yellow / White objective arrows and pulsing circle around objectives.
Removes laser beams from sniper rifles.
Removes annoying constant on screen prompts such as vehicle controls, HOLD E to EXIT vehicle, HOLD R CANCEL ARROW / HOLD R NORMAL ARROW, HOLD F DROP BODY, HOLD Q to HEAL when you are hurt, etc.

Changes most keys to just press instead of press and hold.
Adds the following keys (can all be remapped):
INTERACT: Press E to use or pickup items. Press and hold E to use grappling hook.
RELOAD: Press RELOAD KEY to reload - press and hold RELOAD to bring up weapon wheel.
HEAL: Press HEAL KEY to heal. Press and hold HEAL to bring up syringe wheel.
HIDE HUD: Use the L key to hide your HUD completely (total immersion!)

Days and nights last about twice as long now (they are really too short in the default game)
Improved moon and stars images (textures by Ceano)
Improved weapon sightes images (textures by Ceano)
