The mission Deep Throat in Far Cry 3 sounds provocative, but the only thing risqué about it is how frustrating it can be if you try to brute-force your way through it. You’re tasked with spying on a high-profile meeting, snapping a photo, and then destroying a bridge—all while trying to remain in disguise. This mission punishes aggression and triggers endless reinforcements if you’re seen or fire your weapon too soon. Here’s how to do it the smart way.


Step 1: Climb to the Observation Point

As the mission begins, your goal is to reach the high ground above a bridge and observe an exchange. Take the path to the ledge overlooking the bridge. You’ll see a VIP with a yellow star icon meeting others.

  • Equip your camera and zoom in.
  • Wait for the moment the game prompts you to take a photo.
  • Don’t rush it—the shot won’t count unless you wait for the proper moment of interaction.

Once the shot is taken, your next objective kicks in.


Step 2: Grab the RPG and Destroy the Bridge

You now have 50 seconds to grab a nearby RPG and blow up the bridge before the convoy escapes. However, here’s the mistake most players make: firing from the upper platform triggers immediate aggression. You’ll be swarmed by enemies, alarms, and overwhelming firepower.

The Trick

  • Instead of launching the RPG from the ledge, drop down to a small rocky ledge beneath the platform.
  • From this hidden spot, fire the RPG safely without drawing attention.

It bypasses the overwhelming reinforcement response, letting you hit your target cleanly without a firefight.


Step 3: Evade Pursuers & Retrieve the Artifact

After the explosion, red dots will flood your minimap—but don’t panic. Instead of standing your ground or taking the fight to them:

  • Run.
  • Jump into the river and swim upstream.
  • Use the terrain and water to escape without confrontation.

The next goal is to retrieve a fallen artifact from the convoy. Loop around using the terrain until you reach the new waypoint.

Be cautious—when you approach the pickup zone, there are usually 1-2 guards stationed nearby. Take them out stealthily or avoid them entirely.


Step 4: Escape and Finish in Style

With the artifact in hand, the only thing left is to escape the area.

  • Head back down the slope toward the water.
  • There should be a jet ski waiting.
  • Hop on and speed off to complete the mission.

If you’re feeling cinematic, launch off the nearby rock ramp for an epic action-movie jump to finish things off.


Final Thoughts

The Deep Throat mission rewards creativity and punishes direct confrontation. If you try to face enemies head-on, you’ll be overrun by heavily armored soldiers and called reinforcements.

Instead, this smart path—

  • Wait for the right photo moment,
  • Fire from a safe drop-down location,
  • Escape rather than fight,
  • And loop around to your objective—

will let you complete the mission with no deaths, minimal combat, and maximum style.

Mission complete. Artifact retrieved. Jet ski jumped. Welcome to Far Cry 3—the clever way.
