Far Cry 5 Endings: The Secret Ending, Resist and Walk Away
On this page
Short answer: Far Cry 5 has three endings. The secret one takes about ten minutes: at the start, when you are told to handcuff Joseph Seed in the church, do nothing. The sheriff eventually calls it off and the credits roll. At the very end you choose to Resist or Walk Away.
The secret early ending
- Start the game and ride the helicopter to the church to arrest Joseph Seed.
- When the prompt to handcuff him appears, do not press anything. Ignore the deputies and wait.
- After an awkward pause the sheriff tells you to forget it, everyone leaves, and the credits roll.
Resist or Walk Away
| Ending | What happens |
|---|---|
| Resist | After defeating the three heralds, return to the compound and choose to resist. Revive 12 of your Bliss-controlled allies, then defeat Joseph. As you flee with him, nuclear blasts hit Hope County and you wake up in Dutch’s bunker, handcuffed, with Joseph as your captor. |
| Walk Away | Choose to leave with the sheriff and deputies. Joseph lets you go, but as you drive off the screen turns red and fades out, suggesting you have fallen under Bliss. |
