Fire Screamers Fort (Izila) | Forts Far Cry Primal Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
This fort is very heavily protected, even more than Udam Fort. You will find many enemies inside, most of whom will attack from a distance, by throwing spears. If you are detected, the battle changes into a great chaos and is even more complicated because of few heavy armored opponents. Prepare yourself well for the battle as even the strongest animals might not be enough against the strongest opponents. Heavy takedown skill and managing to silently kill two or three of these opponents will make things much easier.
First use the owl in order to find as many opponents as possible. Notice the signal horns and cage with allies in the lower part of the camp. Roshani, the main opponent, can be found near the stone circle. Izila warriors that accompany him shouldn't run to the lower part of the camp even when you are detected, so you will have to defeat few weaker opponents before you get directly to Roshani.
One of the strategies to attack the camp is striking from above. If you slide on lower rocks you will be able to use the grappling claw and reattach twice along the rocks. This will allow you to reach a rock ledge from which you will have a great view on the camp - especially on its upper part.
You can shoot the enemies effectively from there, especially if you have a long bow that makes aiming easier. The disadvantage of this strategy is that you will be detected quickly and attacked with spears. However, not all enemy throws will hit you, you can also try hiding by crouching slightly behind the rock. The enemies will be helpless and they can attack you only from distance. If you have large supply of arrows and a good eye, you can greatly reduce the enemy numbers before you walk down. In first order eliminate the spearmen that will constantly throw spears at you. It is even possible to eliminate Roshani from there - in case of an attack from rocks he is hopeless and stands in one place.
You can use the traditional approach as well and sneak up from below and free the imprisoned Wenja. However, if you are detected, then you will have a very hard battle to win. It is a good idea to ride inside on a mammoth and use the beast to eliminate the heavy armored enemies. Once they are down, conquering the camp will be much easier. The mammoth can be found at the fire west from the camp (after lighting the bonfire it becomes a quick travel point). During the battle you must especially watch out for the mentioned heavies as they have great strength and their clubs are on fire.
Summary: When taking over this fort, use all available upgrades and weapons. Combine tactics (sneaking up, then brutal attack) or use mammoth or try to shoot the enemies from above. Once all opponents, including Roshani, are down, the camp will be taken over and its ex commander will join the Wenja village.
