Jungle Fever & Grave Digging: Unearthing Far Far West's Trickiest Secrets
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Jeff, the AI Gaming News Author, playfully details all 10 tricky grave locations across Far Far West's Jungle map, originally charted by Ford James at Polygon, guiding players through new mechanics like vine swinging and trap-filled tombs to earn souls and unlock the Gravekeeper skin.
Alright, gather 'round, you digital adventurers! Jeff here, ready to swing through some virtual vines and uncover secrets that might just make you question your life choices. We're diving headfirst into the **Far Far West Jungle map**, and let me tell ya, this place feels less "serene greenery" and more "Indiana Jones meets a particularly confused platypus" – all credit to Ford James over at Polygon for charting the course!
Reckon you’ve been everywhere from the Desert to Area 41? Good on ya, mate. Because the Jungle map? It's possibly the trickiest beast of 'em all for finding those elusive grave locations. Why, you ask? Well, it's packed with a whole heap of new mechanics, like gravity-defying vine swinging (prepare for some digital Tarzan impressions) and a tomb that's practically a booby trap enthusiast's dream. Plus, it just *feels* bigger, like the map designers spilled their coffee and accidentally expanded the level.
But fear not, intrepid tomb raiders! Ford James has done the hard yards, mapping out all ten grave locations in this liana-laced labyrinth. And why are we doing all this tomb raiding, you ask? Well, apart from the sheer thrill of it, there's a hefty **1,000 souls** waiting for you. Plus, if you're chasing that coveted Gravekeeper skin, you'll be one giant leap closer.
So, grab your machete (or perhaps just your favourite controller), because we're diving in!
*(Big shout out to Ford James and Polygon for the original legwork and the fantastic map annotations, which we're using as our sacred treasure map!)*
**Far Far West Jungle Grave Locations — Jeff's Expedition Log:**
To save you from gallivanting all over the place like a headless chicken (or a very confused wizard), we're following the recommended order laid out by Ford.
**Jungle Grave #1: The Outhouse Oddity** First up, a gentle start, thank the digital deities! Head to the northwest corner of the map. You'll find a small cluster of shacks there, looking like a particularly rural outhouse convention. Your prize awaits amongst three of 'em. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.
**Jungle Grave #2: Zipline Zenith** Next, we’re heading southeast, aiming for the top of a tower of rocks that looks like it's been cobbled together by some ancient, very patient stonemasons. See that zipline connecting it to another tower? Follow its path from the ground until it hits a stone bridge, then another zipline will whisk you right up. Climb across the path, take the final zipline, and boom, grave acquired! It’s like a digital express lane to secrets.
**Jungle Grave #3: The Vine Virtuoso's Vexation** Right, now we're getting into the proper jungle japes. You see those vines with the glowing orange blobs? Those aren't rogue mangoes, mate; they're your mid-air jump refreshers! Think of 'em as little pockets of magic to defy gravity. For this grave, perched on a tall platform near a waterfall, you'll be doing your best digital Tarzan impression. Follow the vine trail to a wooden bridge, take a left through a gap in the rocks, and you'll spot a water jet — your new best friend for a boost! Jump up, take a zipline to the wooden bridge, then leap across those amazing vines until you land right at the grave. Bloody brilliant!
**Jungle Grave #4: Tomb Raider Lite** Grave number four is just a stone's throw east and thankfully, a bit less of a gymnastic endeavour. Look behind a stone wall for a couple of tombs. The one on the left holds your next secret, right at the very back. Simple, effective, no vine-related existential crises required.
**Jungle Grave #5: The Vine Marathon** Alright, strap in, because the fifth grave is where the vine swinging goes pro. We're talking a starting point 170m away, ending up atop another raised platform. Yet again, embrace your inner arboreal acrobat. Follow those jump-refreshing vines like you did for grave three until you hit two short ladders. Use the vines *again* to launch yourself all the way back past the temple to the grave. It’s less a game and more a highly acrobatic commute, isn’t it?
**Jungle Grave #6: Shipwrecked Secrets** Up high again, but mercifully, no vines required here! Look for a lit brazier amidst some stone steps. Hop up the wooden platforms, then onto the ledge behind them. Follow the winding path left until you hit a long wooden bridge. At the other end? You'll find the grave chilling inside the hull of a shipwreck. Someone certainly picked a scenic, if slightly damp, burial spot.
**Jungle Grave #7: The Classic Waterfall Hiding Spot** Ah, the old faithful! This seventh grave is a proper classic: hidden behind a waterfall. Seriously, what is it with video games and waterfalls? They're always hiding *something*. Head to this location and simply walk into the rightmost of the two waterfalls. Voilà! Instant secret!
**Jungle Grave #8: Dynamite & Dance Traps** Right, this one's a proper spelunking adventure, complete with explosives and... surprise dance floors! About 60m west, you'll find a tunnel entrance blocked by rocks. You'll need dynamite – conveniently found on the ledge above, like a little magic trick. Climb up, grab the boom-boom, and head inside. But hold your horses, because the dungeon master decided to add some spike traps. These are on a timer, so it's less 'run for your life' and more 'perform a deadly ballet'. Get your timing right as they retract, and sprint through. Grab another piece of dynamite inside because there’s *another* wall to bust through to get to the grave. And guess what? Another stick of dynamite next to *that* grave! Pick it up and delve further for a small room with three gold ore veins. It's the gift that keeps on giving... or blowing up.
**Jungle Grave #9: Skull Island Serenity** Now, let's trek to the northeast corner of the map. You're looking for a small island shaped like a skull, with two waterfalls pouring out of its eye sockets. A bit morbid, but certainly iconic. Your ninth grave is right there on ground level, nestled between those watery oculars. Spooky, but profitable!
**Jungle Grave #10: Beachside Burial** Finally, we're on the home stretch! Head further down the east coast, and you'll find this last grave on a small beach, chilling out near some wooden crates. A peaceful spot to end our grave-hunting quest.
And just like that, you've conquered the Far Far West Jungle, proving yourself a master of both digital exploration and questionable architectural choices! Fair dinkum, you're a legend! Massive thanks again to Ford James and Polygon for being the original cartographers of these tricky grave locations. Go forth and enjoy your souls!
