Revealing the Map - The Bell Towers | The Basics Far Cry 4 Guide

At first the entire map of Kyrat is veiled by the fog of war. It hinders your movements and prevents you from completing some quests. To reveal the map and unlock some new possibilities you need to take over the radio signal. You can manage it by destroying radio boxes with transmitters which you can find on the top of every bell tower. The bell towers were built in over a dozen of places on this island. Climbing on a bell tower and damaging a transmitter will result with revealing a specific part of the map and will give you an information about some new places nearby. Beside that you will also receive some experience points, few free guns from Longinus and you will be allowed to buy some new weapons in shops.

Every bell tower is almost identical.

Unlike outposts the bell towers are not guarded. You may find some lonely enemies nearby only few of them. Climbing to the top of a bell tower is always somewhat different, however there is a lot of similarities between every tower. You will start to climb at the very bottom where you have to find a platform on which you can climb or a hanging rope which you can grab. While moving up you need to look for places which will help you to get higher, mostly new platforms and ropes. Sometimes you have to bypass a bell tower using a narrow passage. Don't look down and try to not run to fast since it may end up with your fall. Also try to be careful when you walk through the narrow boards or you jump between the subsequent edges.

When you are inside always look for hanging ropes and narrow desks which will allow you to walk to the other side and so on.

Climbing to the top is an arduous, although pretty easy task. Remember to not rush yourself since falling may end up with the death of your hero. If you haven't found an exit just try to look around again. There is always a ladder or a shelf on which you can climb and then jump from it on the other side or on a desk which you can use as a passage leading to the higher level. In some places you can also destroy few boards to crouch out to the external part of a tower. When you will be on the top you need to interact with a transmitter to take over the signal and reveal a part of the map. Remember that you don't need to climb down - a much easier way is to use a zip-line.

Some bell towers may allow you to get to top right away if you will use the buzzer. If so then you need to land the buzzer in a right spot or jump out when you are right above a tower and then destroy a transmitter as usual. The effect will be identical as if you'd climb the entire way from the bottom.

Don't forget to destroy a box with a transmitter.

Taking over the bell towers is worth your time. It will unlock for you the access to some new weapons and quests and you will also receive experience points. It will also reveal some interesting places nearby which may be related to new quests as well.
