[Mission bug] Destroy the statue

[Just Chill]

When you use an aircraft to the destroy the statue and then jump out of it mid air, just to land on top of the destroyed statue (or a lower level but still higher than the ground) it can happen that the quest gets bugged if you activate the levers for the ladders.

The result is that you cannot advance in the quest and the doors at the bottom which give you access to the lowest level are closed.

Seems to be a programming oversight. If you know the parachute skill, you can simply fly into the metal skeleton of the statue, without needing to go through the lower level.

But it seems the quest is forced to be done from the lower level up to the highest one.

Only solution for me was to restart the quest and go through the ground level into the statue.

ugh, really?!? ok, i know this is 2 years old but still, this just happened to me and its still a bug? how has no one else thought to do this and reported it?

I have no idea. Haven't touched the game in ages, as after getting attached to Far Cry Primal (which was the second innovation to the series after Far Cry 3), I simply got bored about this game. :(

But yeah... Adding airplanes and choppas to a game and then ignoring possible issues that can arise as of being airborne, is pretty weak.
Such unhandled exceptions should be taken care of, otherwise they shouldn't bother adding flying stuff into the game.

Hello guys,

Sorry to hear you're having issues.

If you're able to replicate the issue, would it be possible to link a video to us that we can take a look at showing this in action?

Thank you!

Hey, I just tested it and it seems a lot different now.

First of all it doesn't bug anymore. I am not sure if I can recall the invisible wall correctly until the whole statue is destroyed.
But I am pretty sure that the way to the book was through the ground.
As each of the statue's levels / floors had to be accessed by the player and the way to the upper level had to be unlocked.
There were even choppers coming.

But at the end of the video where I destroy the whole statue and land on top of it I was able to burn the book immediately.
Full access to the lower levels available without needing to pull any levers.

Not sure how it is when the player accesses the statue from the ground right now. As I only did that once when I was forced to.
But as this was in April 2018, I guess the changes I experience tell that this got fixed. :)

Hey there,

Thanks for getting back!

Glad to hear for the most part it's since been resolved and thank you for the clip showing this.

threebillion6, if you're still encountering the issue described by JustChill, please provide some footage showing this still happening for you, thank you!
