Introduction

Welcome to the Far Cry 6: Pagan Control DLC Trophy Guide! This is a quick and easy DLC to earn some extra trophies. You need 100% Completion in the DLC which involves finding all Collectibles and beating it on Mind Level 5. You are trapped in a loop of Pagan’s mind, the villain of Far Cry 4. To escape you must find 3 Mask Pieces which you locate by following the yellow lines on the ground from where you spawn, then bring them to the Royal Palace in the top right corner of the map and fend off 5 waves of enemies to exfiltrate. If you die you will respawn at the start and lose your equipment. Weapon Unlocks & Upgrades are permanent and you can also buy other passive character upgrades such as more health and more health syringes. There are 5 Mind Levels, you start at Mind Level 1 and Mind Level 5 is the hardest, but it’s still quite easy and not significantly harder. I did Mind Level 5 with the upgraded starting pistol first try, normal enemies still die in 3-4 headshots (Story Mode difficulty) and you can take tons of damage and refill your syringes by looting chests.

Step 1: Finish Mind Level 1 (Escape Pagan’s Mind)

First, after starting the DLC go to game options and change it from Action Mode difficulty to Story Mode difficulty (Touchpad > System > Options > Gameplay > Game Difficulty = Story Mode). It starts on Action Mode by default, so you must change it manually, which will make everything significantly easier and quicker.

To familiarize yourself with everything, start by doing one normal playthrough and escaping Pagan’s Mind at Mind Level 1. Follow the yellow lines from the camp where you started. These lead to the 3 Mask Pieces. One in the north-west, one in the lake in the center of the map, one in the south-east. Bring back the Mask Pieces to the Royal Palace in the north-east of the map, this triggers the exfiltration and you must kill 5 waves of enemies. Then you have 1 minute to leave through the gate to escape Pagan’s Mind.

Here’s the full map, the 3 main objectives have orange icons:

Feel free to already do any open world activities and weapon unlock challenges you come across. Don’t bother with farming lots of Cash or a Highscore here, it’d be a complete waste of time because you earn Cash twice as fast at Mind Level 5 which we’ll use later for farming.

Step 2: Collectibles (21 Locations, 9 Weapons, 16 Visions, 7 Diary Pages, 10 Chibis)

Restart the map at Mind Level 1 for gathering all Collectibles. Use the guides linked below to get all Collectibles. Along the way focus on fully upgrading the starting pistol if you haven’t already, it’s very good for the Mind Level 5 run later. Spend any extra money on buying the 8 Power Slots (hearts dropped by enemies, costs 10,700 to buy all 8 slots).

• 9 Weapons (all required)
• 21 Locations (all required)
• 16 Visions (all required)
• 7 Diary Pages (all required)
• 10 Chibis (all required)

Step 3: Finish Mind Level 5, Having 8,000 Cash at once, Score of 25,000, Carry 8 Powers

Now start a new playthrough on Mind Level 5 and make sure you have it set to Story Difficulty in the game options (Touchpad > System > Options > Gameplay > Game Difficulty = Story Mode). Mind Level 5 is unlocked immediately after beating Mind Level 1 for the first time. No need to play through Level 2-4, you can skip them. During your Mind Level 5 playthrough you will automatically get more than 25,000 points (I got 48,000 by just doing the 3 main objectives) and you’ll get more than 8,000 Cash if you don’t spend any during the mission.

Level 5 is actually quite easy. Enemies deal about twice as much damage and have twice as much health compared to Level 1. However, because they were so underpowered in Level 1, they still feel quite easy on Level 5. The normal enemies die in 3-4 headshots (story difficulty, depending on weapon mods) from the fully upgraded starting pistol and you can take a ton of damage and can always refill healing syringes from chests. As a prerequisite, it helps to have at least 3 upgrades in the Pride category (Health). There’s no real need for any more upgrades, better to save the cash for buying 8 Power Slots for  Min-Maxed. I used the fully upgraded starting pistol and blue-rarity Rifle from start to end and focused on headshots from close range. Go straight for the 3 main objectives, don’t do the side objectives. Enemies become stronger over time, so go for the hardest objectives first. Go to the southern main objective first, then the one in the lake in the center of the map, then the one in the north.

Never loot chests right away when entering an area. You always get +1 syringes from standard chests. Spreading out your healing syringes is important. Always stay close to a chest so you can grab more syringes from it if you run out. This is especially important during the main objective in the south and the 5 waves of enemies in the exfil area, leave all those chests untouched until you have 0 syringes left and only use them then. If you happen to have a 2nd fully maxed out weapon, bring the fully upgraded assault rifle or shotgun. Those do good headshot damage at close range and are accurate and easy to aim.

After you popped the trophy for 8,000 Cash in one run, invest everything in buying the 8 Power Slots if you haven’t already (costs 10,700 total). If you are still missing any Power Slots, keep farming Cash at Mind Level 5 by doing Trials. You keep all money when you quit to the Main Menu while inside a safe house or at the weapon locker where the game starts. Then start a new Level 5 run and go for the Trials again, keep repeating this and either pick up or sell the Powers you get from the Trials.

	True End(ing) Escape Pagan’s mind
Automatic story trophy for beating the DLC at Mind Level 1 for the first time. From where you start, look for the yellow lines on the ground. These lead you to the 3 Mask Pieces which are the main objectives. One is in the north, one is in the south, one is in the lake in the middle (will be marked by orange icons on map when going near them). After getting them all, bring them to the Royal Palace in the top right corner of the map (white outlined building on map). Then you must defend against 5 waves of enemies to exfiltrate. Here’s the full map with all icons on it:
	Mind Monarch Escape Pagan’s mind with a score of least 25,000
This will unlock automatically during your Mind Level 5 playthrough, can’t miss it. Even if you go for only the 3 main objectives you will always get at least 40,000+ score.
	Pocket Money Carry at least 8,000 Respect at once
Can be combined with your Mind Level 5 playthrough, just don’t spend any money during it and you should easily reach 8,000 from the 3 Main Objectives alone. You must hold 8,000 cash at the same time (unspent money). You can see your total Cash in the top right corner of the screen. At Mind Level 5 you earn twice as much money so it goes faster than at lower Mind Levels. If you die your money count resets, so you must have 8000 in one life.
	Enlightened Monarch Discover every location in Pagan’s mind
» Pagan Control – All 21 Locations
	Accessorizing Unlock all weapons in Pagan’s Armory (Solo Game only)
» Pagan Control – All 9 Weapon Locations
	Early Drafts Collect all of Pagan’s Diary Pages
» Pagan Control – All 7 Diary Page Locations
	Vanity Project Collect all of the Pagan Chibis
» Pagan Control – All 10 Pagan Chibis Locations
	Radio is More My Thing Collect all of the Visions in Pagan’s mind
» Pagan Control – All 16 Visions Locations
	Min-Maxed Have 8 Power equipped at one time
Powers are the “Hearts” sometimes dropped by enemies or found randomly from chests. They are also always awarded from completing trials. You can carry a total of 8 but must buy more slots for Cash. This is what a Power pickup looks like: In total it costs 10,700 cash to buy all 8 slots: Slot 1 = Free Slot 2 = 200 Slot 3 = 500 Slot 4 = 1000 Slot 5 = 1500 Slot 6 = 2000 Slot 7 = 2500 Slot 8 = 3000 Compared to the Vaas Insanity DLC that required you to fully upgrade all weapon cases, this is much cheaper (and there’s no trophy for maxing out all weapons in Pagan Min DLC).
	What’s a King to a God? Escape Pagan’s mind at Mind Level 5
Make sure you set the difficulty to Story Mode in the game options for this! It’s much easier than playing on Action Mode difficulty (Touchpad > System > Options > Gameplay > Game Difficulty = Story Mode). Mind Level 5 is unlocked immediately after beating the DLC for the first time on Mind Level 1. No need to play Levels 2-4, you can skip them and do Mind Level 5 right away. Level 5 is actually quite easy. Enemies deal about twice as much damage and have twice as much health compared to Level 1. However, because they were so underpowered in Level 1, they still feel quite easy on Level 5. The normal enemies die in 3-4 headshots (story difficulty, depending on weapon mods) from the fully upgraded starting pistol and you can take a ton of damage and can always refill healing syringes from chests.
