Far Cry 5 Shrine Locations Guide – All Regions & Maps
In a world ruled by cults and chaos, nothing sends a message quite like blowing up a religious shrine with a flamethrower. Welcome to Far Cry 5 , where the Eden’s Gate cult has littered the idyllic landscapes of Hope County with their twisted ideology—etched in stone and reinforced through dozens of shrines. These structures aren’t just for show. They spread the cult’s mind-control toxin, and it’s your job to take them down.
This Far Cry 5 Shrine Locations Guide lays out the exact locations of every shrine across all regions: Henbane River , Whitetail Mountains , and Holland Valley . Whether you're chasing 100% completion, unlocking perks, or just here to watch things burn, we’ve mapped it all out.
What Are Shrines in Far Cry 5?
Shrines are small wooden structures filled with barrels of Bliss , a hallucinogenic drug used by the cult to manipulate minds. Destroying them not only chips away at Eden’s Gate’s grip but also boosts your Resistance Points in each region.
Shrine Basics:
Found in all three regions
Easily destroyed with explosives or incendiary weapons
Marked by tall wooden structures and Bliss fog
Each region has 16 Shrines , totaling 48 across the game
Best Weapons for Shrine Demolition
If subtlety isn't your thing (and let’s be honest—it shouldn’t be), these are your best bets:
Rocket Launcher: One-shot destruction. Ideal from helicopters.
Flamethrower: Extremely satisfying and effective.
Remote Explosives: Great when sneaking into cult territory.
Molotovs: Classic, quick, and deadly.
