There are a number of collectibles in Far Cry Primal. When you are close to a collectible item a blue icon indicates the location of the item on your mini-map. There’s also a triangle pointing up or down if the item is at a different height level from your present position. In most cases collecting these items will give you additional experience points, however when it comes to the Spirit Totem collectibles, you get a two percent XP bonus for each one that you collect.
In order to get the XP bonus for the item you need to locate the 12 altars and place a Spirit Totem on each one. Due to how the bonus XP works, it’s best to complete this set of collectibles first so you can benefit from all of the extra experience points you’ll earn for everything else you do in the game.
