What happens if you don’t shoot Joseph Seed in Far Cry New Dawn

In Far Cry New Dawn, the player has the option to choose from two possible endings: One where Joseph Seed is killed and a possible redemption for the protagonist, Jack Carver, and another where Seed remains alive and continues to exact revenge on the world. In this article, we’ll explore the consequences of not killing Joseph Seed and what happens during this alternate ending.

Resigning to Fate

Instead of confronting and killing Seed, you decide to walk away. He makes you an offer – let your friends go, and spare his life. You witness a haunting scene where Seed effortlessly dispatches your friends, taking away any hope and chance for redemption. With Jack, Seed brainwashed them all, turning them into silent followers who will stop at nothing to obey his every command. Now, with the weight of your mistakes heavy on your shoulders, you’re tasked with rebuilding a world ravaged by wars, where the only constant appears to be destruction.

A Chance to Mourn

Post-revolution, you attempt to console your friends, now drones following Joseph’s every command, now eerily silent and bereft of emotion. This can lead to a sense of desperation creeping in, making it difficult to even interact with them. Your previous friends have become mere shells, puppets with no capacity to hold emotions, or even acknowledge existence, apart from carrying orders.

The End for Those You Care About Most

Ethan, your first recruit and a key soldier, succumbs to the destructive influence of the world, losing your hope in the process. Through sheer exhaustion and despair, he perishes in the fight against Post-War America. Amid the devastation, you realize Joseph has indeed won, forcing those who once stood behind you to follow his twisted plans, a harsh reminder of the futility of war.

The End or New Dawn?

Do You Resist or Accept Victory?

Ruthless and unfathomable in their methods, they make sacrifices and face overwhelming enemy numbers to ensure their message gains recognition, igniting the flame. Joseph, enraged by the sudden influx of knowledge and fear of being dismantled, launches a desperate endeavor to suppress any opposition.

Some will die, while others cling to survival in the face of extinction…

Resilience and courage unfold the canvas for a new beginning, hope born in darkness…

What remains is the eternal testament that life will never know complete despair…

What unfolds are new paths to pave… New Dawn

Conquering the darkness that holds it all together, as courage grows.

New light casts an eerie glow when freedom reigns,
…
Resist the shadows!
Accept your fate!

The conclusion leaves room for speculation. New Dawn remains a testament to humanity…

Let your friends go?!
Will you find mercy and understanding in the eyes

Or walk away?! Take part in the journey
Share and find your own ending or follow others

Will Seeds legacy last forever?

Would we take the path now in sight?

In memory

Your friends now dead

As the world we lost lives
Through the eyes of your first soldier

The battle over a distant memory
Of you.

For the future.

Is new dawn the beginning…
To walk away

It would not be a good solution because they would continue taking innocent lives and spreading destruction!
