* BonusBoss:
** The giant Rakshasa raven that leads the other demons in Shangri La is the one and only true boss the game has, and it's both optional and sufficiently awesome to make [[ThatOneSidequest the previous four Shangri La missions]] somewhat worthwhile.
** In a sense, all the named Fashion Week animals count as well - nobody forces you to face them, but they enable great bonuses if you do, namely by unlocking the top tiers of your various upgrades.

* FeatheredFiend: The infamous Black Eagles again. You'll learn to hate them the moment the first one swoops down on you out of nowhere and takes off 60% of your un-upgraded health pool in a single hit without giving a damn about your armor (which he'll have damaged as well). Most [=NPCs=] fare even worse. It's not uncommon to witness entire Royal Army or Golden Path patrols getting wiped out by just one dive-bombing eagle. If you hear that awful screech, you better hope you have good view in any direction so you can spot and kill the beast before it ruins your day. [[spoiler:you won't]]

* FiringInTheAirALot: The Golden Path rebels' preferred method of celebrating anything, from the safe arrival of a supply truck (for whose defense they didn't lift a finger) to such heroic accomplishments as shooting down a lone dhole with automatic weapons and only three out of five members of their squad dying in the process. Seriously, one can't help but wonder how those ultra-aggressive Kyrati eagles haven't gone extinct already with so much lead being thrown skyward at even the slightest opportunity. [[FridgeBrilliance Perhaps it's the very reason why they're so hell-bent on cracking the skull of everything and everyone on the ground]]. What makes the rebels' favourite pastime even more egregious is their otherwise constant whining about their lack of supplies, [[TooDumbToLive especially guns and ammo to fight Pagan's armies]]. Might be linked to their revolution not getting anywhere despite decades of civil war, you say? [[SarcasmMode No way.]]

Added DiffLines:

* SerialEscalation: ''Far Cry 4'' takes just about everything from ''Far Cry 3'' and gives it this treatment.
** Signature weapons are one of the most visible instances. ''Far Cry 3'' only had one per category, with any further than that being outside additions through uPlay (the "Cannon" Model 629) or pre-ordering (the "Predator" M-700). Now there's closer to twenty of them, so many that some of them have ridiculously-easy unlock requirements (the Stormer requires tearing down a ''single'' propaganda poster) and that some of them really aren't much of an upgrade (even the in-game store menu can't find much to talk up about the Sixer, which is unlocked simply by ''visiting the store'' for the first time). Where some underwhelm, however, there are others that are even more ridiculous than the old ones - the Buzzsaw, the Signature MG 42, pretty much [[GameBreaker breaks what remains of the game at that point in half]].
** Animal attacks are much more common because of how many types of animals there are now. Forget the old tigers or bears, now depending on where you are you may get ambushed by a pack of dholes or wolves, or have to deal with a honey badger or two varieties of leopard, or get trampled by a couple yaks or a rhino, to say nothing of the omnipresence of eagles - and any one of these can and will easily lead into any other.
** In ''Far Cry 3'', once an outpost is captured it's yours forever, unless you hit a menu option after beating the game to reset all outposts. ''Far Cry 4'' allows for outposts to be randomly attacked by the Royal Army, forcing you to head back to defend them lest they fall back into the enemy's hands, also allowing you to replay their initial capture as a score-attack mode, and even caps off outposts with Fortresses, much larger and more elaborate outposts that affect entire regions of the map.
** Side activities now include random "Karma Events", supply trucks you can either destroy to deny them to the Royal Army or hijack to aid the Golden Path, and "Pagan's Wrath" convoys which consist of three trucks blaring propaganda. Except for the latter, which follow preset paths that usually require you to intentionally seek them out, it's perfectly possible to get hit by a constant stream of all of these. Find a karma event to rescue a hostage from a single Royal Army grunt, fifteen feet later a supply truck will try to run you down, fifteen feet past which another karma event to interdict a Royal Army courier carrying some variety of plans, fifteen feet past which yet another event will ask you to assist a Golden Path squad in putting down a similarly-sized squad of Royal Army soldiers, fifteen feet past which another supply truck or Royal Army courier will drive past. [[FromBadToWorse Any of these can also be interrupted by another animal attack, as well.]] Fortunately, taking out one of the four Fortresses causes its area of influence to stop spawning supply trucks and dramatically slow down the rate of karma events, finally giving you time to breathe between them.
