Paradise Lost (the second Henbane River liberating mission) in Far Cry 5 Far Cry 5 Guide and Walkthrough
Last update: 09 April 2018
Paradise Lost is the second out of the three missions where the goal is to liberate Henbane River region. This mission starts right after rescuing the hostages during The Lesson quest. This entire mission is a boss fight during which you have to defeat Faith Seed.
Reach Faith
The fight with Faith won't be triggered right after you start this mission. You have to watch a long cut-scene and reach the "arena" presented in the picture.
Defeating Faith Seed - a boss fight
You have to deplete Faith Seed's health bar which is displayed above her head and in the upper left corner of the screen. Most of the weapons work on her. We recommend an assault rifle because of a greater mobility when compared to machine guns and a range greater than shotguns. Don't worry if you start this fight with wrong weapons because the game will give you a chance to switch them.
Faith attacks you with energy projectiles and shoots 3 of them at the same time. Getting hit with one projectile doesn't mean troubles but a whole series can deplete almost an entire health bar. Try to move a lot on the arena and shoot Faith in-between her attacks.
Enemies possessed by Faith are another problem. Treat them more like obstacles and kill only those who are a direct threat to your character. Luckily, they disappear after a single shot. Don't waste too much ammo on them.
After dealing enough damage to Faith she will disappear from the arena. After that you will be able to find supplies. Use this chance to refill your ammo. You can also change your weapons and pick up med kits. Remember that supplies won't stay on the arena throughout the entire fight. They disappear soon after Faith starts attacking again. They reappear when you deal her enough damage.
In the later stage of the fight you will also face Faith's clones. You have to find the real Faith who is hiding among her copies. Use single shots on the clones to make them disappear. You can recognize the real Faith by seeing her health bar being displayed after shooting her. When that happens, you can ignore her copies and focus on attacking the "real" Faith.
Keep doing that until you deplete her health bar. Don't forget about yours - use med kits when you get gravely injured. Remember that you can replenish your supplies during this fight (med kits appear along with ammo). However, this isn't the end - Faith's death triggers one more story quest called Walk the Path.
