Far Cry 5 The Warrant Guide: Hidden Ending & Escape Tips
The first mission in Far Cry 5, “The Warrant,” sets the stage for your fight against the Eden’s Gate cult. You start in a helicopter with law enforcement officers, aiming to arrest Joseph Seed, the cult leader. This mission serves as a tutorial, guiding you through basic gameplay mechanics while introducing you to key characters. Below is a detailed walkthrough, including how to unlock the hidden ending.
Helicopter Ride
The mission begins with you and a team of officers flying toward Eden’s Gate. Your goal is to arrest Joseph Seed, who is wanted for multiple murders. Once you land at the Eden’s Gate compound, follow your partners toward the church.
Church Choice (Hidden Ending)
After entering the church, a cutscene unfolds with Joseph Seed and his disciples. At this point, you’re given a choice:
- Arrest Joseph Seed: Tap the cuff button to arrest Joseph Seed. This choice advances the story and sets the stage for the main events of Far Cry 5.
- Do Not Arrest Joseph Seed (Hidden Ending): If you do nothing, the sheriff will eventually leave the church, and the game will end. This triggers the hidden ending and is a unique way to finish the mission. You can watch this ending here.
Arresting Joseph Seed
If you choose to arrest Joseph, follow the path out of the church to the helicopter. A cutscene plays showing the helicopter crash, leading to a quick-time event where you must escape the wreckage.
Escape
After escaping the burning helicopter wreck, run into the forest ahead. You’ll eventually come across a couple of houses occupied by enemies. Use stealth to eliminate them and gather their weapons. Continue on and reach a fenced area, where you’ll hear a radio call from the US Marshal, instructing you to meet him at a nearby gate. Follow the waypoint to a trailer and enter it to trigger the next cutscene.
Truck Escape
Inside the trailer, the US Marshal gives you a gun, and you’ll fend off a PEG attack. Once the Marshal finds truck keys, get inside the truck for an on-rails chase sequence. Drive while fending off enemy vehicles, eventually reaching a bridge where the truck crashes into the river. When you wash up on shore, you’re rescued by Dutch, marking the end of the first mission.
