History NightmareFuel / FarCryNewDawn

* The FinalBoss is pretty nightmarish. A gigantic shadowy monster with [[RedEyesTakeWarning creepy red eyes]], basically a recoloured version of a [[BigfootSasquatchAndYeti Yeti]] from ''Far Cry 4''. And just like the Yetis, this monster WasOnceAMan mutated by a mysterious supernatural plant. Who was it? '''[[EntitledBastard Ethan Seed]]'''. YouCanPanicNow.

-->'''Ethan:''' Do you know what that is? The Word of Joseph. His teachings, his guidance, his wisdom... [[DarkMessiah and his madness]]. I've searched everywhere for this book. Joseph said the one who found it would be 'ordained by God to be [[TheChosenOne the true ruler of Eden]]...' And ''you'' are the one who returns it to us. ''It should have been me.'' ''I'm'' the one they turned to when he [[PutOnABus disappeared into the North]]. ''I'm'' the one who has [[TeamDad held this family together]]. ''I'm'' the one they [[YouAreInCommandNow chose to lead]]! ''I'' have protected them from [[AnarchyIsChaos the locusts and the snakes]]! ''I'' have kept us all alive and safe within these walls! ''Not the old man''! '''[[ItsAllAboutMe ME]]'''!!

** A brief moment in the cutscene when the Captain attends a dinner meeting with the Highwaymen chapter bosses, and Ethan Seed shows up to propose a VillainTeamUp with them. One of the bosses is openly skeptical of the supposed supernatural fruit that Mickey and Lou are interested in, and accuses them of "goin' soft in the head like your Dad". He laughs, [[HaHaHaNo Lou joins him in laughing]], and then she [[BadBoss smashes her plate and stabs him to death with one of the shards.

** And then he [[DeskSweepOfRage flips a tree-stump pulpit over in his anger]]. Really, you can't blame the Captain for stepping back as soon as he does this.

** Also, that moment just before Ethan [[spoiler:turns into a monster]]. After swallowing a bite of the forbidden apple, he gags and grunts violently, [[TaintedVeins his veins go black]], and for a brief moment, Ethan has to grab onto Joseph's neck to stabilize himself. Apart from the fact that he's clearly undergoing a PainfulTransformation, given that Ethan was explosively arguing with his father right before he bit into the apple, you could be forgiven for thinking he's going to ''kill his father''.

* With the inclusion of the dagger, takedowns are now more brutal than ever thanks to the [[NauseaFuel highly detailed sounds of stabbing into someone's neck or spine.]] [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor I hope the people who didnt like the takedowns in Far Cry 5 involving entirely blunt weapons are happy.]]

* Monstrous Animals, which are unlike anything seen in previous entries in the series. They come in several varieties (including cougars (seen above), bison, boars and bears) and maker their lesser counterparts look like kittens and puppies in comparison. Not only are they dangerous and aggressive, they can easily tank bullets, arrows and even heavy explosives unless the player can hit their small weak points. Luckily, they only appear in a few isolated spots on the map and are fairly easy to avoid, which is great because going after them without at least a couple tier 3 or 4 weapons is a good way to end up lunch.

* Demon Fishes, sharks, and crocodiles are back to make your swimming a little bit scarier.

* One of the expeditions you can take is to the destroyed shell of the [[VideoGame/SplinterCell Paladin]] with a note from [[StealthExpert Sam Fisher]] about his tracking of an "empty arrow."[[labelnote:*]]Possibly a reference to the U.S. military code word "Empty Quiver," which is meant to denote a lost or stolen nuclear weapon.[[/labelnote]] The implication is that the Collapse happened because [[OurHeroIsDead Sam was killed]] and the remaining Fourth Echelon team was unable to stop it from happening.

* The opening of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6eLHk2Eug78&has_verified=1 the premiere trailer]] really hammers home the horror of what happened: a shot of a farmhouse being leveled by the blast, and the same house burning along with the world around it as animals flee in terror. Combined with shots of a burnt-down forest and footage of the Highwaymen, it's a chilling reminder that the world as you know it is over.

** Turns into a brief comedic moment in the actual game where Lou drops the line in an attempt to intimidate the people of Prosperity...only for Mickey to take a moment of silence to roll her eyes at her sister's comment with a "''I can't believe you just said that''" expression on her face.

It gets even better because Lou will do this ''several'' times throughout the game whenever Mickey threatens someone, making it clear that Lou would prefer that Mickey let her do the talking.

** Crosses over with SugarWiki/CrowningMomentOfAwesome but the scene where [[spoiler: the Captain rips themselves out of the Twins' handcuffs and gives them a beatdown is a fair bit of karmic comedy, considering that up until that point the Twins believed ''they'' were the ones in control of the situation. They had just killed Rush, and made it clear they were planning on either doing the same to the Captain or simply beating them into submission, and it became very obvious neither of them saw it coming. When the Captain catches Mickey's helmet mid-swing and begins ''crushing it'' in their hand, the [[OhCrap look]] on her face is priceless, since she is used to being TheBruiser of the two and the Captain is just wiping the floor with her.]]
