Far Cry 6: How to Take Down Every Boss and Liberate Every Base

18 October 2025

So, you've jumped into the wild and chaotic world of Yara, huh? Far Cry 6 throws you into a tropical paradise turned war zone, and if you’re anything like most players, you’re probably asking yourself: “How do I take down every boss and liberate every base without getting blown to bits or running in circles?”

You're in luck. Whether you're a stealthy assassin or a fan of going in loud with guns blazing, I’ve got you covered. Here’s your no-nonsense guide to dealing with every major boss and seizing every military installation in Yara like a true guerrilla warrior.

First Things First: Understanding the Lay of the Land

Before we get into the boss fights and base strategies, let’s talk about how Far Cry 6 works in terms of structure.

Yara is split into several regions, each controlled by a different Lieutenant or Boss under the main big bad, Antón Castillo. Each region also has its own set of military bases, anti-aircraft sites, and checkpoints.

Your goal? Take down each regional boss, weaken Castillo’s grip on power, and liberate Yara step by step.

But you can’t just run in guns blazing every time. Each enemy has their weaknesses—and each military base has unique challenges.

The Basics of Guerrilla Warfare

Let’s talk strategy. No fancy terms here—just pure chaos and control.

1. Use Intel & Recon

Before you assault a base or confront a boss, always scout the area. Use your phone to tag enemies, alarms, and camera systems. This prevents surprises and makes your takedown smoother.

2. Upgrade Your Supremo and Resolver Weapons

The Supremo is your best friend. Think of it as a backpack of death. From launching rockets to reviving yourself, it’s your ultimate cheat code. Pair it with Resolver weapons—the homemade DIY killing machines—and you’re golden.

3. Take Out Alarms First

This is Guerrilla Warfare 101. If alarms go off, reinforcements arrive. Sneak in and disable them before going loud.

4. Use Amigos Wisely

Sure, they’re cute (looking at you, Chorizo), but each Amigo has special abilities. Guapo is great for going offensive, while Oluso excels in stealth. Pick the right partner for the job.

Region by Region: How to Take Down Every Boss

Let’s break it all down boss by boss—because each one requires a different approach, and trust me, some of them don’t go down easy.

🔥 Region: Madrugada

Boss: José Castillo

Ah yes, Antón's nephew. Spoiled, arrogant, and running the region's tobacco operation. He’s got poison-laced Viviro fields and a huge airbase under his control.

How to Beat José Castillo:

- Main Mission: “Diesel Daisy” and “Napalm Drop”
- Start by dismantling his air operations. You’ll need to destroy fuel tanks and intercept his chemical weapon shipments.
- Eventually, you’ll confront him during a mission called “The Lion’s Den.” He’s using a helicopter.

Pro Tip: Bring a rocket launcher or the Exterminador Supremo to shoot him down. Don’t even think about using normal guns unless you enjoy wasting your time.

Bases to Liberate:

- FND Bases like Aguda Cliffs, FND Airbase Olimpia, and Ventosa Peninsula Checkpoint
- Use high ground, sneak in through tunnels, or even attack from the water. Always scout first.

🧪 Region: Valle De Oro

Boss: Dr. Edgar Reyes

This guy is full-blown mad scientist. He’s the twisted mind behind Viviro’s “healing” properties. Spoiler—it ain't healing anyone.

How to Beat Dr. Reyes:

- Main Mission: “Angels of the Bay” and “The Deported”
- Reyes hides behind a wall of lies. You’ll take out several labs first. These missions involve a lot of sneaking, hacking terminals, and freeing prisoners.
- In the final showdown, you’ll corner him in a lab.

Pro Tip: Bring EMP gear or an armory full of silent weapons. If you alert enemies, they’ll kill hostages.

Bases to Liberate:

- Look for Biovida Facilities, Tobacco Processing Plants, and Viviro Checkpoints.
- Use your Amigo Oluso for stealthy takedowns inside labs.

🎤 Region: El Este

Boss: Admiral Benítez

She’s brutal and controls Yara’s military navy. If you like underwater missions and beach invasions, this is your playground.

How to Beat Admiral Benítez:

- Main Missions: “Tourist Trap” and “Break the Chains”
- You’ll disrupt comms towers and sink military ships.
- In her final mission, she’s stationed in a heavily fortified base.

Pro Tip: Bring EMP grenades for disabling tanks and gear up with high-damage explosives. Get in, cause chaos, get out.

Bases to Liberate:

- Naval bases like Lorenzo Canals Dockyard and Santisimo Naval Fort
- Use boats or swim in at night. Seriously, night ops make a huge difference here.

💣 Region: Esperanza

Boss: General Anton Castillo (Final Boss)

This is it. Castillo’s fortress is in the capital city—Esperanza. Urban warfare at its finest (or worst, depending on how you play).

How to Beat Antón Castillo:

- Final Questline: “Paradise Lost”
- This mission is intense—urban snipers, roadblocks, tanks, helicopters, you name it.
- You’ll fight waves of elite soldiers before reaching Castillo’s palace.

Pro Tip: Save your most powerful Supremo for this. Keep armor-piercing rounds handy. Don’t forget to bring healing syringes—lots of them.

Mastering Liberation: Base by Base

Alright, now for the grind-loving Yaran freedom fighters. Here’s how to liberate every base efficiently, without getting stuck or dying for the 10th time in a row.

Step 1: Go Stealth (At First)

Yeah, yeah—I know. Sneaking around isn’t always fun. But trust me: disabling alarms and taking out surveillance before going full Rambo makes life easier.

Use silencers, bows, and throwing knives. Go at night, and use recon tools to plan your route.

Step 2: Use the Environment

Many bases have alternate entry points—ladders, underwater pipes, zip lines. Don’t just waltz through the front gate like you’re bulletproof.

Scan for rooftop vantage points. Drop in behind enemy lines. Use tripwires or bait animal cages (yes, wild predators are your friends).

Step 3: Destroy the Control Points

Each base usually has:
- One or more alarms
- Anti-aircraft guns
- Ammo dumps
- Fuel supplies

Hit these hard. Destroying them weakens enemy response and often disables reinforcements entirely.

Step 4: Don’t Forget Anti-Aircraft Guns

These things are a pain—they block fast travel and restrict flying. Make them a priority. Use grenades, explosive rounds, or Supremo strikes to take them down.

Once destroyed, you unlock air dominance, which makes traveling across Yara waaay easier.

Step 5: Collect the Goodies

Every base has loots galore. Look for:
- Weapon crates
- Supremo upgrades
- Readable notes (lore and clues)
- Industrial circuits, gunpowder, uranium

Liberating bases doesn’t just clear the map—it seriously buffs your gear.

Bonus Tips: Weapons, Gear, and Loadouts

Let’s not beat around the bush. Your weapon choice is everything in Far Cry 6. Here are a few go-to combos:

- Best Supremo: Exterminador (Rocket Barrage) or Volta (EMP burst)
- Best Resolver Weapon: La Varita (electric sniper) + Triador Vision (wallhack combo)
- Best Rifle: SVD Sniper or MS16 S
- Best Sidearm: El General (armor-piercing pistol)
- Best Gear Set: Use the Furioso for better mobility and fire resistance

Amigo Breakdown: Who to Bring and When

- Guapo (the gator): Great for early game and frontal attacks
- Oluso (ghost panther): Perfect for stealth and silent kills
- Chicharrón (rooster): Chaos incarnate. Send him to fight alone for laughs
- Boom Boom (stealth fetch dog): Excellent at tagging enemies and retrieving loot

Quick Summary Checklist for Full Liberation

🎯 Scout the base
🔕 Disable alarms
🚫 Destroy anti-aircraft guns
🔥 Blow up fuel/weapon caches
🔫 Take down the boss
💰 Loot everything
🌍 Unlock fast travel and weapons

Final Thoughts

Far Cry 6 might look like a tropical vacation on the surface, but underneath? It’s a powder keg waiting to blow. If you’re methodical, smart, and just a bit reckless, you’ll own every inch of Yara before the credits roll.

Remember: every boss has a weakness, every base has an opening, and every guerrilla needs a plan (and maybe a crocodile sidekick).

Now grab that Supremo, load up your Resolver, call in your Amigo, and go raise some hell.
