How do I defeat Faith Seed (The boss fight) in Far Cry 5? Far Cry 5 Guide and Walkthrough

Last update: 06 April 2018

Faith Seed is one of the bosses in Far Cry 5. The confrontation comes after you have sufficiently weakened the cult in the Henbane River. In the following part of the description we have included information on how to kill Faith Seed. It's a necessity if you want to advance further in the main plot of Far Cry 5.

The fight with Faith Seed doesn't happen during the first hallucination which can be triggered while you are exploring Henbane River region. You have to confront her after getting at least 13,000 resistance points in Henbane River region. Shortly after that you will automatically start The Lesson story mission. Your objective is to save allies kept in the Hope County prison. After completing that quest, you automatically start another one called Paradise Lost. It opens with a longer cut-scene. Reach the "arena" presented in the picture above to face Faith Seed.

You have to deplete Faith Seed's health bar which is displayed above her head and in the upper left corner of the screen. Most of the weapons work on her. We recommend an assault rifle because of a greater mobility when compared to machine guns and a range greater than shotguns. Don't worry if you start this fight with wrong weapons because the game will give you a chance to switch them.

Faith attacks you with energy projectiles and shoots 3 of them at the same time. Getting hit with one projectile doesn't mean troubles but a whole series can deplete almost an entire health bar. Try to move a lot on the arena and shoot Faith in-between her attacks.

Enemies possessed by Faith are another problem. Treat them more like obstacles and kill only those who are a direct threat to your character. Luckily, they disappear after a single shot. Don't waste too much ammo on them.

After dealing enough damage to Faith she will disappear from the arena. After that you will be able to find supplies. Use this chance to refill your ammo. You can also change your weapons and pick up med kits. Remember that supplies won't stay on the arena throughout the entire fight. They disappear soon after Faith starts attacking again. They reappear when you deal her enough damage.

In the later stage of the fight you will also face Faith's clones. You have to find the real Faith who is hiding among her copies. Use single shots on the clones to make them disappear. You can recognize the real Faith by seeing her health bar being displayed after shooting her. When that happens, you can ignore her copies and focus on attacking the "real" Faith.

Keep doing that until you deplete her health bar. Don't forget about yours - use med kits when you get gravely injured. Remember that you can replenish your supplies during this fight (med kits appear along with ammo).
