Farcry Primal: How to be a stealthy Wenja

In this guide, i will be explaining the best ways to go stealthy in Farcry Primal.

Intro

Being stealthy isn't an overly easy option in Farcry Primal. The game seems to make it hard on players new to the series, that being said, its not impossible. Once the player has the right gear and skills, it can be very easy.

Skills of the Trade

Red: Basic skills reqired
Yellow: Better then basic
Green: Best skills to have, however not reqired

The best skills to invest in for stealth are the owl upgrades and the takedowns.

The more takedowns available to you the better.

The same principle applys to the owl, the more you can see and spot, the better.

The rest of the skills are important but not really reqired, though they do make being stealthy much easier.

Tools of the Trade

The best tool that the player can use while stealthing is his knife, but the Double bow and throwing shards do come in handy. The long bow can be used as well for those pesky long range kills.

What Not To Do

Don't bring in pets, not even the jaguar. It's best to go solo because beast's tend to get spotted easy, and if you stand up for even a second, they may go ballistic and get you spotted. It's best to go in alone.

Using the owl to drop bombs is a great way to get spotted, however using your owl to get a claw kill seems to not alert anyone.

How to get started

After approaching a camp, the player should call his owl and use it to scout out the camp, tagged every enemy you see. Once you're sure all enemys are tagged, send you owl to get a kill, ideally on an enemy secluded from the rest. After that, move in and kill them one by one with your knife or bow, be careful with the bow as it doesnt always get a clean kill. Keep the bodys hidden and move quickly and quietly staying crouched and watching the enemy patrols and line of sight. Don't forget about rocks, they can get enemys to walk away from groups making them much more manageable.

During my playthrough, after finishing my owl scouting, I'd send in my jaguar in for any good isolated targets, and tell it to stay out of the area when I wasn't relying on him, although beasts CAN be finnicky in close range, so i don't really recommend it if you don't understand how they work completely.

One good tip I can give is to set fire to arrows then shoot them at the wooden posts that the alarms are stood on. Unfortunately I didn't find out about this myself, but I think its priceless to know.

Max out your owl kill cooldown. Get bloodfang sabretooth. Find a place to hide outside of the target outpost. Send in your owl to tag everyone. Use the owl to send your sabretooth in for a kill, then use the owl for another kill. Call your sabretooth back immediately after his kill and heal him if necessary while waiting for the owl cooldown. Send the owl back and repeat until outpost is cleared. You can clear an outpost undetected without moving an inch from your hiding spot.

Obviously this doesn't work in caves. In caves, you'll just have to go in yourself and do some wet-work crouched down with your hunter vision.

I'm not sure "lack of skill" is the problem with people who don't particularly using animals all the time... at least it's not in my case, I think it makes everything far too easy. I suppose I also sorta don't consider hiding in a bush and telling my doggo or a birdo to go kill everything "sneaking".

Well, all that aside, it's also easier to not get spotted if you dismiss the animal. I guess it definitely depends heavily on which animal you bring, but it's more proper "sneaking" when you don't have a beast following you.

...don't get me wrong, I do use them. I just go out of my way to do it both ways, depending on ...what I feel, or if an encounter is giving me too much trouble. They're a cool ability. I don't dislike them at all, I just think they can be crazy overpowered.

Used to stealth a lot in this game, Black Panther is extremely good at it. Legit seen that bitch run into a camp past 15 different people, maul one guy, and run back to me without getting spotted

dont bring pets? bruh i ONLY use pets best strat ever i just sit in a bush thats well hidden and use the owl to send the black jaguar (or bigger things if theres only tank enemies left and i cant sneak kill them) to other bushes then ones its close it attacks then hides again if it gets spotted i send it to a bush away from me if it comes to a cave that i cant use the owl then i use the black lion and i just have it go mad by going in spotting and killing works like a charm and if its about to die i quickly send it away in the menu then call it back and heal it if u play it smart u can never be seen and only resource ull use is meat to heal ur pet or flowers if u arent fast enough to send it away

you can also point at a spot and hit G to tell your beast to hang out there. no need to have them go away, keeping you from having to open your Beast menu.
if you're trying to stealth an outpost but end up getting spotted, just pick someone for your beast to attack and help you.

As Cherry Dude said Animals were LEGIT my WEAPON/Tool I would hide in a bush/area that I'd be hidden Call in my Owl with a " Rare Black Jaguar " the +1 Strength compared to the normal and the fire resistance was clutch and remember to abuse the as long as your crouched your pet will perform stealth kills ONLY.... I've LEGIT taken out FULL STRONGHOLDS AND CAMPS with The Owl + Black Jaguar combo.... and normally if they take they Jag out... its one person left and you can EASILY run up to stealth kill him while he kicking and taunting your down pet...... Its funny how a whole Encampment get taken down by a Jaguar...... if i had a decent enough PC and recording software I could post a video as soon as you can get a Jaguar and hopefully Black Jaguar
