"I finished far cry 4, it was awesome!" "What was it about?" "Dinner"

"Should I stay or should I go?" Those clever bastards...

Ubisoft admitted that this is the Canon ending as it was the most likely outcome in real life. If someone like that tells you to stay put and enjoy the crab Rangoon, you stay put and enjoy the crab Rangoon 🦀

I love how that Far Cry 4 as a 30+ hour story is literally a giant red herring because the 15 minute story is the cannon one.

This is the actual game, all that golden path shit is just an easter egg.

I imagine somebody getting this for the first time and tried this: "Godammit I wasted $60 for this shit!"

"Why did you side with a murderous dictator?" "Listen dude, crab Rangoon"

Imagine, Just imagine if this was actually a game path. Not just a "Secret ending" but you actually have fun with your supposed dad shooting guns and hunting down rebels for him. Just. Imagine some father son bonding.

Moral of the story: be a gentleman and enjoy crab rangoon

These speed runners are getting out of hand...

everyone saying "this is what you would do in real life, I mean the food looks great!" when in reality you would do this in real life because you were too fucking terrified to move from that seat

Pagan Min : ''He was your father, kid....but he ain't your daddy''

if only we could play after this secret ending.....

This is the true ending in my mind, it's what any normal person in real life would have done. You have a nice dinner with family(who is fucking loaded), he takes you over to the mountain to fulfill your mother's will, you finish what you went there for, then you shoot guns and have fun. 10/10 trip, would visit again.

I love the part where Pagan says that Lakshmana shouldn't be alone anymore and that he's glad they're all back together. It's actually pretty heart warming and a hell of a lot better than the other endings.

I just came to the realization that the reason Pagan killed the checkpoint officer was because he thought the officer killed his step-son. Pagan didn't notice Ajay was there until after he killed the guy. Honestly, if I was in the same space as the person who I believed killed my son or step-son, I'd have murderous intentions too.

Honestly, this is probably what any real person would have done if stuck in the same situation. Very clever.

Refusing Min's crab rangoon is the definition of insanity.

We need a DLC of taking down the golden path and actually be 'good' for once.

5:53 "Should I stay our should I go..." I wonder if that was meant as a subtle hint on how to get the Alt. ending.

Imagine being AFK for 13 minutes and come back to this on your first playthrough

Just wish it would've expanded into a whole secondary campaign where you work with Min to take down the Golden Path.

When the "villain" was the less of a villian than the heroes.

Considering this was CONFIRMED as the true ending (by the Main narrative director), they really should have built a bit more around this ending, perhaps carrying over saved data from the other endings for stats and inventory, but reversing the enemies, you on Pagan's side and against the Golden Path, even if it was just in adventure mode.

We need a DLC where you continue hanging out with Pagan. Why isn't this a thing.

Why does no one in the top comments understand that this is actually pretty neat? Of course the game wants you to just go nuts on his ass and start the real game but if you do something out of the ordinary for once you can trigger a secret ending which they apparently put some effort into and still left it in as only a secret. As much as Ubisoft has been fucking up lately this here is nothing to complain about. Or did you actually think the real game was just 15 minutes long and everything you saw from the trailers was just fake?

Imagine someone who went to the bathroom and forgot to pause the games and comes back with the final credits

Troy Baker did a very good job as Pagan Min. That guy can voice act everything

_"Patience is the key element of success"_ *Bill Gates*

probably the Best ending..

The fact Ajay’s sister is 1 year old when his biological father killed her is shocking! Goodness! I guess the Golden Path is technically not a Golden Path, but a dangerous path.

Story time: so this was actaully the first ending i got because I simply listened to this man. I don't know why, but I was like "I wonder if I dont move from this spot, he'll come back". So I sat there for a while thinking "he ain't coming back". I swear as soon as I was about to touch the joystick, I saw this cutscene I sat there laughing my ass off for hours.

are you kidding me i could've avoided all that depressing shit just by staying put for 13 minutes

It's funny because pagan is a more likable character than amita and sabal or anyone involved with the golden path lol. Easily the best ending.

Best ending, choosing between Amita and Sabal is like choosing which arm you want amputated honestly.

If you look closely at the arrival of Pagan Min, you can see the regret and real disappointment as he looks at your current condition and about to get your head blown off. Another theory is that those Golden Path members in the bus are trying to get you killed on your way to your destination by making it look like an accident.

Wait a sec...so Pagan,while an asshat,is apparently a pretty badass stepdad?

This is so great for so many reasons: 1. At the title drop at the beginning the song says "Should I stay or should I go?", think about it, fucking genius. 2. This is the kind of freedom of choice we need more of in games. 3. Pagan Min isn't really the villain from the beginning, you make him the villain the moment you run away. It's so fucking good I just can't begin to explain it. seriously. Far Cry 3 was great but this little easter egg makes Far Cry 4 like 10 times better than 3.

All Pagan Min wanted was to set the record straight and bond with his step-son but noooooo you couldn’t just enjoy dinner.

9:10 That's ubisoft crying for help after losing the farcry fanbase

Best.. Step dad.. EVER.

This makes sense. Look at the colours of his clothing. It's pink and white. Pink means love and white means peace and protection in movies. Similiar colour rules apply to VIDEO games. This man was not meant to be a threat to you. He's not even threatening you (the MC) he's 'just' violent and brutal but that's how leaders are meant to be. He never threatens you, he never does anything hurtful to you. He wasn't meant to be the antagonist.

Interesting how the game chose to mention that Pagan Min has been a recluse in his palace for more than a decade (11:11, funnily enough) during the loading screen after he comes back to whisk you away from dinner. It adds a lot more context to the secret ending. A depressed stepfather, longing to know how his estranged son is doing, without any idea on how to possibly contact him. Maybe that company eventually rounded out his rougher edges and shaped him into a better leader, who knows.

The problem with this game is that you'll realise that you are fighting for the wrong side (golden path) when you're in the middle of the story and there's no point of going back. When Amita and Sabal turned enemies over conflict of interest, it is evident that they don't give two shits about welfare of kyrat. All they had is greed over power so that they can be nothing but a dictator.

To be honest, I can't say I wouldn't do the same. I'd be fully content to just sit there. I'd be chicken shit scared but it's not my business to get involved in a war I wasn't born into.

The only proper ending. You did what you came for. Now you have fun! No need to suddenly be a soldier for a terrorist organization, just do what you came for and bro it up with your fam! You people have no concept of honor.

I love how the loading screen gives gameplay tips after you've effectively finished the game.

"We've defeated the wrong enemy." -George S. Patton

I would totally blow up rhinos with c4 and hunt down terrorists in helicopters with my step-dad. Who the fuck wouldn't? Ubisoft, please make this DLC. This is the one and only time that I will ever ask for that stuff.

The biggest irony of all. Sabal turns Bhadra into a religious symbol to manipulate everyone and kills all who opposed him. Amita turns Kyrat into a drug state and forces children to become soldiers and kills Bhadra (not sure about that though). Pagan Min, on the other hand, aside from killing that soldier in the beginning and having Paul torture Darpan, actually takes you to Lakshamana and lets you scatter your mother's ashes and reveals to you that he is your stepfather. Far Cry 3 and Far Cry 4 are not the stories about an outsider helping the natives revolt against the tyrannical overlord, they are similar stories about how the outsider gets dragged in the conflict, he decides to help the natives to fulfill his duty and how the natives use him for their own purposes.

One of the best “villains” in a video game ever. I wish the game went this route rather than the fun side quest that is the golden path.

You know what’s also great about this ending this chef that cooked the crab Rangoon is spared

Strange game. The only winning move is not to play.

I accidentally found this ending because I had to take a crap and I come back to be in Pagan's helicopter and then the game ended. I was thoroughly confused.

I can't be the only one who hoped there would be more to this secret ending. I would've loved fighting the Golden Path, side-by-side with Pagan Min.

Ok Ubisoft, now it's time to re-release Far Cry 4 with a full campaign if you decide to side with PAgan Min.

I love Pagan XD I think he loves Ajay as his own son. He really loved his mother Ishwari and hated Mohan for what he did to her and their daughter Lakhsmana. I think now he and Ajay will be family. I think this is the better ending.

is it odd that i actually like this ending? Like alot. Pagan seems like a cool dude. Free dinner. Got to spread mums ashes with her daughters. Seems like an alright guy... When you get passed the whole crazy guy who stabbed someone for fucking up slightly.

It would've been nice if Ubisoft made a story mode allows you to you side with Pagan and fight the Golden Path to avenge Lakshmana and Ishwari Ghale or side with the Golden Path and hear Amita and Sabal argue over everything. A real ally supports you on your quest, not bribe you into doing their bidding. What has the Golden Path done to support Ajay other than aiding him in battle? Nothing!

Let's see here: - Pagan Min lived as a recluse in his palace for a decade, when Ajay and his mother ran away to America and Lakhshmana was killed at the age of 1, which has definitely not been very good for his mental - When the bus was stopped and gunfire was exchanged, and Pagan comes in to see the checkpoint guards have massacred the passengers, he assumes that Ajay was part of the dead passengers, leading him to John Wick an officer with a pen, out of anger that they (probably) murdered his stepson - Even with the fact Pagan just fucking killed someone in front of Ajay, he tries to set his emotions aside to greet him and apologize with his face (and his fucking shoes) covered in fresh blood - Despite all of this, Min bagged Ajay's head to prevent him from remembering the path that was taken to the fortress, implying this location was meant to be kept a secret in case shit goes down Yeah, I don't think I would like to fuck with the guy who has chosen to hospitable to me and only me specifically, and offer me a freshly cooked first-class meal while brutally torturing the man who is trying to get a location to recover the American traveller who just wanted to spread their mother's ashes in the next room over Just eat the food, check out the scenery, follow what the psychopathic dictator tells you to do to keep him on your good side, spread the ashes, and shoot some goddamn guns

This needs a DLC like seriously playing with Pagan Ming? Killing shitty golden path? Yep i would frickin' buy it even if it costs 60$ i would frickin' buy it Second storyline. Please ubisoft. DO IT. RIGHT NOW!

would be fun to hang out with pagan min, golden path was depressing shit

Throughout the years I can't tell how many times I started far cry 4 and end up just doing this ending... It's so good. I hoped for a dlc that lets me continue from here so I can finally play again

The game actually gives us the hint in the first scene.Before stabbing the guy,Pagan Min says "I'm very particular with my words".Then,in the meal scene,just before his departure for the moment,Min says"Now,please,stay right here.Enjoy the Crab Rangoon.Don't move.I will be right back".He says "particularly"what to do to get this ending.

omg now THAT was one of the most badass things I've ever seen this really shows you how it is, perception. Call him what you want, Pagan Ming was just a dad who became a king SHOULD I STAY OR SHOULD I GO

"Should I stay or should I go, noooooooow?"

Imagine how many players waited and they got this ending for a 60 dollar game

The most brilliant thing about the game was the way they picked the song.

There you have it. Far cry 4 retails for 60 dollars and has under 30 minutes of gameplay.

I hated the Golden Path. They were really the "bad guys" the entire time. I really wanted to help out Min and wipe out the filthy rats.

The thing i love about this ending is that its what everyone would realistically do in this situation. Theres no way when the king of a country is being this nice to you you would try to escape. In fact after what you'd seen you would be too terrified to do so.

This ending really show who is pagan min really are. "Im so glad we're finally together" shows how he missed his little family. Seeing ajay with his mom ashes relieve pagan how he miss ajay mom

I wish more games allowed us to side with anyone we wanted and allowed us t play how ever we wanted. I mean in this situation, Min kept the player alive, stabbed a soldier to death with a PEN because his men could have killed the player, took him to a feast, had his right hand man simply stop the player with a gesture rather than a fist to the face, tortured the other person, alluded that he knew the player's mother, AND trusted the player to do whatever in HIS mansion without guards surrounding him the entire time Min was gone. I hate how we're forced to fight with the "resistance" without knowledge of what the situation is other than "OMG THIS GUY STABBED SOMEONE! OH NO HE'S EVIL!"

Technically Pagan Min is our Ajay's step-dad. Dad proceeds with a brutal welcome. Dad quotes alliance Dad says " Maybe now we can finally shoot some goddamn guns" YES, DAD!

10:38 Sabal had a quick and painless death

After playing through the story and seeing all sides of the story I love how it isn't so black and white both sides have their large faults and it's a bad situation all around but honestly? I find myself siding with Pagen min. He is a ruthless dictator who has done and is still doing terrible things but in my opinion he's better then the golden path. That and well he's just way more charming then either of the golden paths leaders

I NEED A DLC WHERE YOU TEAR SHIT UP WITH PAGAN :( Damn you Ubisoft, I need some closure

Went to Gamestop, bought the game, came back 20 minutes later saying I beat the game already

9:00 guess that’s why it’s called far cry...

I just love how Ajay is not so talkative and sometimes he says something, only when he finds it important or anything. It makes him feel like a kind of silent type of of person. And that ending, I wish it would be DLc like you and the imperial army against the golden path.

That's by far the best ending. Lol. How awesome it would be if you could team up with Pagan and take down the Golden Path. I'd like to play that. I really like this guy.

I just wish... that, you know, you could actually continue from here. Be Pagan's friend and hunt down rebels. And why not shot some goddamn guns, like he said! That could have made such an awesome DLC.

Far Cry 4 was with no doubt the best game of the series, Far Cry 3 was amazing too but this game was just something else, not to mention its Valley Of The Yetis DLC was pretty fun. Though I, as many others, wished there was a way to play the game on Pagan Min's side, the Golden Path was flawed from the very start and it would only lead Kyrat down a slipery slope, be it isolated ultra-traditionists or corrupt druglords with child soldiers and slavery. Neither Golden Path ending was good, the only reasonable one was to stay and enjoy that damn crab rangoon.

Pagan: Stay! Alternate Ending: Stay! Even the Song: “Should I stay or should I go”

It must be the best ending of this game. I wish we could play this story instead of helping some crazy people which are ready to kill each other because of confusion and stupidity in their heads. It seems that the most sane here is Pagan...

A much more reasonable ending than the full game. Pfft. Some dude who's only purpose was to spread his mother's ashes, becomes a cold blooded lunatic-serial killer and a tool of golden path. HAH! *sigh* I always liked Pagan min because of his charisma. And it makes my heart glad this game has such ending. On the first playthrough I was mind-fucked to the realms of oblivion.

Now that I think about it, everything in the introduction cutscene is just the game telling the player to try and get the secret ending. 1. The agent speaking on the phone saying that there's civil unrest with local authorities at war against the Golden Path. 2. Darpan saying he'll "do the talking" but does jack sh*t except for that one line. 3. Everything that Pagan Min does. His "particular with words" motto, him hugging you and apologizing the moment he recognizes you, telling you not to worry about anything and everything else. (He even keeps on apologizing to you even at dinner and in the secret ending cutscene.) 4. The song saying "should I stay or should I go". 5. The first room of the game not being guarded by anyone, albeit being De Pleur's compound. It says a lot on how Pagan Min actually wants you to feel at home. 6. He also leaves Mom's ashes with you instead of taking it with him as "insurance". Probably the reason why this secret ending works so well compared to all the FC games that followed. Bonus: On the cover of the game, the statue that Pagan Min is sitting on has these form on the hands. IIRC, it means "patience" in Indian myth or superstitions (can anyone confirm that please? thanks)

i actually like this ending more than the other ones

I can hear a far cry of those who didn't wait for him

I have a feeling this is the TRUE ending of the game...because in all the others the people of Kyrat suffers...

13:19 Best line in the whole game.

I remember being absolutely stunned when I read that you could do this. I wasn't sure I even believed it. I went back, started a new game, and sure enough was like holy shit!" when it actually happened. Now I wait a little bit during every Far Cry choice-based scenario just to see if they pull something like this again (and they have, though this was definitely the coolest). Such a great Easter Egg, just imagine the look on the face of the person who actually sat there trying it for the first time. That's some commitment.

this is a very satisfying ending after playing through once the normal way and realizing the golden path are total assholes.

Pagan telling the backstory of Ajay's mom and how they killed Pagan's daughter, followed by the note saying "I love you and will always be with you - Mom" Idk why but that just hit me hard.

My father said: if it doesn't concern you then don't get involved.

When you waste your 5 week to complete this game and find out that there is an alternate ending

in real life this is probably howd it go down lol

You know, watching the start of this, you can almost feel a little sympathetic for Pagan. All he really wanted to do was have his troops stop and hold the bus so he could come and pick up his son to take him off to a nice dinner, before said son went wandering off into the middle of the war zone. Instead, his troops royally screw up what they were supposed to do. Granted, his reaction to that frustration is rather extreme, but you do kinda see why he got angry.

Pagan Min seems pretty nice Makes me feel like golden path is the real villian, which ever path u choose u will still end up having a bad ending

"Im so glad we're finally together" shows how he missed his little family. Seeing ajay with his mom ashes relieve pagan how he miss both of them
