Story Mission: False Idols

• Prerequisites: Destroy three Eden’s Gate shrines.
• Rewards: Medium Resistance (Henbane River).
• Details: Small Eden’s Gate shrines are scattered all across the Henbane River region. Destroy those shrines and wipe out the cult’s presence.

MISSION Commencement

During your exploration of this region (and only this region; the shrines on Dutch’s Island aren’t part of this), you may come across a small wooden hut with a steeple, usually with an enemy or two about to turn a victim into an Angel. These locations are shrines, and once you destroy 3 of the 16 across this region, Tracey Lader radios in from Hope County Jail to encourage you to finish the job.

Find and DESTROY Eden’s Gate Shrines (16)

You can destroy any and all of these before seeing Tracey in person (shoot the explosive canister at the base of the steeple). Or you can do this after you liberate Hope County Jail. None of the shrines are particularly difficult to clear, though some are difficult to find! A good plan is to use a helicopter with a machine gun to easily find and destroy each one. Check the Atlas for map information regarding their whereabouts.

SHRINES: Henbane River (16)

Shrine: Your world map (and the Atlas) now features a new icon. This appears when you’re close to finding a shrine at a particular location in Henbane River. All are specific (there are no random shrines). Note that these icons distinguish silos and wolf beacons in the other regions.
