The Yetis are the secondary antagonists of Far Cry 4's DLC The Valley of the Yetis.
Just like the real life mythology creature, they are an ape-like creature purported to inhabit the Himalayan mountain range in Asia. In Western popular culture, the creature is commonly referred to as the Abominable Snowman. Many dubious articles have been offered in an attempt to prove the existence of the Yeti, including anecdotal visual sightings, disputed video recordings, photographs, and plaster casts of large footprints. Some of these are speculated or known to be hoaxes.
Biography[]
Origins[]
Nothing much is known about The Yetis' origins, except that according to the expedition journals, some witnessed the Yetis drinking water from the hot springs, which contained the orange glowing fungi from the relic. After analyzing the strange substance, men from the camp site started drinking this liquid, and began feeling high and more powerful, which in turn made them more and more addicted to it. Side effects included screaming, hallucination, extreme aggression and inflammation around the faces and orange eyes. As a result, the men hid away in caves and began to mutate, which The Disciples call "Awakening". Finally over an unknown period of time they evolved into Yetis.
Much earlier in Kyrat's history, in the year of 1665. The road to the valley was cut off, and destroyed because the Fungi was believed by the people. To be a dark gift from the demonic entity known as Yalung. So out of fear they destroyed the pass, allowing the yetis to fade into myth and legend. It seems that judging by the bodies those who drink the elixir undergo a mutated transformation within a dark environment. Evident from the bodies in the relic shrine. There’s a chance that the chosen can die during the mutation process. Those who survive the process evolve into yetis, but are put into a very primitive state of mind. Relying entirely on instinct to hunt and kill anyone, or anything in their path.
According to notes of some of the Sandesh soldiers in the valley. To turn a person into a Yeti without drinking anything. You need to collect some elixir and distill it. So an odor is emitted, and once inhaled. It begins to make people start to suffer from hallucinations, and ultimately become Yetis. Even if it is much more time consuming as with Digvijay, a civilian that was rescued by Ajay. Digvijay has hallucinations and voices in his head, similar to the changes, but only slower. Possibly, the Disciples made this process to delay their own transformation because their skin is mottled with orange scarring. And the ultimate goal of those who follow Sandesh is to turn into an Awakened one. Which would occur in due time.
Far Cry 4[]
Ajay first encounters a yeti after escaping Durgesh Prison, but passes out before the creature could get any closer. Ajay is then sent north of Kyrat and into the mountains to find something called "The Relic", which turns out to be a glowing yellow tree that emits a yellow gas and yellow, or orange spores. Inhalation of the Relic's gas turns people mad: they begin to hear voices and see visions, and eventually are said to transform into Yetis. A religious cult called the Disciples processed the product of the Relic into a liquid called "the Elixir". Which they force feed to people so they become Yetis, which the Disciples revere.
The Golden Path have only heard rumors that the Relic could be a powerful weapon that Yuma Lau sought and planned to use against Pagan Min. The Golden Path then sent Ajay and his pilot Sukhwinder to the Valley of the Yetis in order to retrieve it, but their helicopter is shot down by the Disciples and crashed onto a ridge above the hidden valley. Ajay wakes up from the wreckage to find his pilot missing, and starts hearing radio chatter from the Disciples, a religious cult inhabiting the valley. About how they've kidnapped Sukhwinder and have isolated the valley from the outside world. Eventually, Ajay begins to see that the Lost Valley's caves are filled with luminescent fungi & ape-like statues. Which the Disciples claim are depictions of Yalung. After attempting to rescue his pilot, Ajay is knocked out and witnesses his pilot killed by a huge, ape-like monster. His first true encounter with the Yeti is in the sacrificial cave. Where it is feasting on human flesh. Later on, Ajay finds that the Yetis are being worshiped, and feared by the Disciples. Whom they call "The Awakened". Ajay encounters the Yetis the more he explores the valley, and they prove to be more powerful than any animal he's ever fought.
Far Cry 5[]
In this game, the Yetis appear as themselves in the Far Cry 5 Arcade Editor and the Dead Living Zombies DLC mission "Burned Bridges" as Yeti Sasquatches by Guy Marvel.
Combat Guide[]
A Far Cry 4 In-Game Tip Of Taking Down A Yeti
Yetis are very resilient to any firearm, including heavy and explosive weapons. When enraged they charge on all fours proving to be incredibly fast and knock over vehicles. So it's suggest to run and gun as well as keep moving to avoid its attacks. In Far Cry 4 only, the best way to kill one is to aim for their heads which will disorient them, then go behind them to perform a takedown which will kill them instantly.
A recommended weapon is the AMR which will kill them with a single shot and does not require Ajay to perform a takedown. The AMR is a signature weapon (A Signature Version of a Z93 sniper rifle) that can also be found within the Valley of the Yetis.
Although Yetis have high resistance towards most weapons. They can simply be run over, and will die on impact, but not in Far Cry 5 Arcade Editor.
Trivia[]
- In Far Cry 5 Arcade Editor, if you put both a Yeti/Zombie Yeti and Blood Dragon in the map, they will be hostile to each other. Interestingly, a short fight animation (Like other animals if you put them together to fight) will occur in which they will struggle against each other and there's a 50/50 chance that either the Yeti or Blood Dragon will win.
- It is unknown how long a Yeti's lifespan is, but given that the relic is said to grant immortality, it might be possible that the Yetis do not die from old age.
- On Far Cry Arcade the Yeti will chase only the player when the player aggravates it, regardless if other NPC aggrevates it, unless the player goes to a spot where the yeti can't attack. If it's chasing an NPC and the player aggravates it, it will target the player instead of the NPC. It is unknown why this happens.
- The Yeti is the only animal boss that is based on a real life hoax/animal while the Blood Dragons and Arachnids are original creatures by Ubisoft.
