Overview
A steep and mostly impenetrable mountain wilderness along the western half of this subregion means cult activity is focused mainly on an old, disused missile silo appropriated by John Seed. You must destroy John’s Gate when ridding this region of cultists. Beforehand, it’s wise to visit Grace Armstrong at the Lamb of God Church to help her withstand a cult onslaught. Then you can entertain the ramblings of alien hunter Larry Parker, over at his “laboratory” on the eastern fringe, near Fall’s End.
Please note! This subregion contains no cult outpost or cult properties; if you’re looking for the subregion map, it is located at the Lamb of God Church.

Missions*: Story: The Cleansing, The Confession, The Atonement, Wrath, The Quality of Mercy; Side: John’s Revenge
*These missions don’t begin here, but the culmination of the Resistance missions takes place at this location.
The secrets of John Seed’s operation are contained within a disused missile silo up in the steep mountain foothills, in the northwestern part of Holland Valley. Investigate the interior during the story missions only (where you scavenge a great deal more ammo and items). Expect cultists on the exterior at all times. Note the windsock on the compound’s eastern edge; this is good for a quick exit if you’re wearing a wingsuit.
[38] Security Gate
Climbing Spots, Enemies (Animal), Enemies (Cultist), Item of Note (Documents), Zip Lines
This security checkpoint is mainly utilized during John Seed’s resistance story mission. Under normal circumstances, expect a light cult presence and the odd wild animal.
[39] Steele Farm
Ammo (Few), Climbing Spot, Enemies (Cultist), Gas Canister and Propane Tank (Explosive), Item of Note (Documents, Perk Magazine), Shop (Garage)
The main dwelling has been scorched by cultist flamethrowers, but the garage shop still remains. Check the caravan’s roof for a Perk Magazine.

Ammo (Haul!), Climbing Spots, Character of Note (Grace Armstrong), Gas Canister (Explosive), Enemies (Cultist), Gun for Hire, Item of Note (Documents, Map), Items (Safe), Landmark, Vehicle (Car/Truck), Zip Lines
Mission: Story: Grace Under Fire; Side: Exodus
A sharpshooter named Grace Armstrong is sitting atop the bell tower, defending the graves of heroes slain by a cultist wrecking crew. Join her; she’s an impressive specialist. There’s a good amount of ammo to find, as well as the map. Check the bell tower, the white shed (smash the boarded window at the back), and the church interior.
[41] Lamb of God Sacristy
Ammo (Few), Bliss (Barrels, Effect), Enemies (Cultist), Fishing Location, Item of Note (Magazine: Wild Boar), Shop (Boat), Vehicle (Boat), Warning! Mounted MG!, Zip Lines
A small, shrinelike building where cultists have defiled Lamb of God Church vestments sits by a once-picturesque river. Note the nearby dock and boat shop. Expect a cult presence here. Check inside the sacristy for a Hunting Magazine.

Ammo (Haul!), Barrels and Propane Tank (Explosive), Climbing Spots, Enemies (Animal, Cultist), Item of Note (Documents; Magazine: Perk x3), Items ($, Safe), Prepper Stash, Underground, Vehicle (Car/Truck, Quad), Zip Lines
Mission: Prepper Stash—Foxhole
Grace Armstrong’s home is now ablaze, and a tough crew of cultists are usually roaming this area, with more intermittently appearing along the road. Complete the Prepper Stash mission to uncover a bunker with a sizeable haul.
[43] Bradbury Tractor Shed
Ammo (Few), Barrel (Explosive), Collectible (Cheeseburger Bobblehead), Climbing Spots, Enemies (Cultist), Vehicle (Car/Truck, Tractor), Zip Lines
This is part of the Bradbury Farm compound (mostly to the south and west) and the dirt road that bisects this subregion. Expect a light, hostile cult presence. Though there’s minor salvageable items inside the main shed and lean-to, check the smaller shed. Smash the window boards and uncover an ammo stash and bobblehead.
[44] Hope County Jail Bus
Ammo (Haul!), Barrel (Explosive), Climbing Spots, Gas Canister (Explosive), Enemies (Animal, Cultist), Item of Note (Magazine: Perk x3; Molotov Enhanced Recipe), Item (Sewer Pipe Stash Key, $), Lock and Key, Prepper Stash, Underground, Zip Line
Mission: Prepper Stash: Playing with Fire
An old school bus is slowly rusting by a nearby pond and inlet pipe; head there after obtaining a necessary key from a mauled man (on the pond bank in Subregion 7), and uncover a Prepper Stash. Watch for cultists!
[45] Parker Laboratories
Ammo (Few), Climbing Spots, Collectible (Comic Book: Mars), Far Cry Arcade (Editor), Items (Safe), Propane Tank (Large and Small, Explosive)
Missions: Story: Free Larry; Side: The Hero’s Journey, Close Encounters, Out of This World
Slightly deranged scientist Larry Parker lives here. He seems to believe in alien conspiracies. Currently, he’s trapped in an electrical device of his own making. Free him to start his series of missions, once you give his place the once-over.
Secondary Locations (2)
[20] Cult Bridge
Climbing Spots, Enemies (Cultist), Hostage (Liberate), Zip Lines
Along the winding trail leading from the security gate to John’s Gate is a rope bridge. A collection of cultists threaten a civilian on the northeastern side, led by a VIP. Can you help?
[21] Holland Valley Tunnel
Ammo (Few), Item of Note (Magazine: Perk)
Eden’s Gate has sealed this tunnel completely, so no ground traffic can leave Holland Valley. Head here to harvest Jimson Weed or to grab a Perk Magazine from a pickup flatbed.
