Blow Their Mine in Holland Valley Far Cry 5 Guide and Walkthrough
Last update: 30 March 2018
Blow Their Mine is the title of the second story mission in Far Cry 5 received from Zip Kupka in Holland Valley. The quest becomes available after you help Zip in getting rid of the drugged animals in the Razing the Steaks mission (walkthrough for this mission can be found on the previous page of this chapter). A full walkthrough for the new mission from Kupka can be found below.
Important - you should play this mission accompanied by Adelaide, Hurk or other companion effective in eliminating cultists and hostile machines. You should also equip an assault rifle, shotgun or heavy machine gun - during the final part of this mission you will participate in a large battle.
Planting explosives in the mine
Zip's new plan is about destroying the gold mine controlled by the cultists. Go to Catamount Mines. The location is well protected by the cultists and you should first check the area - there are snipers among the opponents. During the early phase of the mission you can sneak up. You should take advantage of that to silently eliminate some cultists.
Place four explosives once you secure the area. Reach the marked locations and hold the action button.
Battle in the mine territory
Now it's time for the hardest part of the mission. You must defend yourself for 4 minutes while waiting for the bombs to explode. Before placing the last explosive you should place some pressure explosives in the area. Once the battle start, you should spend most time inside the main building. This will enable you to avoid shots from enemies with rifles and from at least one helicopter that will appear near the mine. You can use your own weapons, ask companion or find the machine gun position in the mine to destroy the helicopter.
During the fights you must watch out so that the enemies won't surprise you. Take advantage of the backup of the specialist (or specialists) and use health kits whenever you're close to dying.
What's very important in case of this battle is the fact that the cultists will attempt to disarm the explosives. You will always have some time to interrupt them. Don't rush reaching a cultist disarming a bomb too much - you can easily die on your way if you're not careful. If a cultist manages to remove the explosive, you must plant a new one in the same location.
You must defend yourself for 4 full minutes. Reach the marked place near the mine once this time ends and wait for a powerful explosion that will end the quest.
Rewards for completing the mission: Dynamite upgrade (you can produce dynamite by using less resources), 900 resistance points.
