Into the Bliss Starting Location
This mission begins immediately after completing Eden’s Fire.
Reach the New Eden Compound
Return to New Eden and you are ushered in. Seems word of your success has already reached them, and you arrive in the middle of a heated discussion. It is resolved that Joseph can cleanse your sins, so you are to be sent to the North to find him.
Ethan reminds you quietly what your actual mission shall be, before giving you the sacrament that will allow you to survive your journey into the Bliss.
Talk to Ethan
When you come to, Ethan is waiting to speak with you. He tells you where to go, and that you must light signal fires along the way to drive the Bliss back so that you can pass safely. If you don’t have a bow or need more arrows, check the nearby table for supplies.
Drive the Boat
Get on the boat, and head out on the water.
Journey to the North
Follow the path of the waypoint, which will move to a new position to guide you down the river until you enter the Bliss.
Ignite the Fire Beacon
A second objective is added as soon as you cross the wall of fog, and a subtle reminder that “Fire protects you from Bliss” flashes on the screen. Head to the new waypoint until the “Journey to the North” objective completes, and in the distance you will see the waypoint has moved to a beacon that you have to light with fire arrows. Once the flames catch and the Bliss is pushed back, a new objective will activate and you can proceed.
Find a Way to Open the Gate
Head up the river until you see a ramshackle dock next to the gate.
Go ashore and look on the other side of the gate and you’ll see a large water wheel with a switch brake. Pull the switch and the wheel will start to turn, opening the gate.
Drive the Boat
With the gate open, swim back to your nearby boat and get back on board.
Journey to the North
Continue following the waypoint to the next beacon. Don’t be concerned if you start choking on the Bliss on the way, as long as you keep heading to the beacon you should be fine.
Ignite the Fire Beacon
When you reach the second beacon, use fire arrows again to light it.
Journey to the North
Keep heading down the river towards the waypoint until you reach the next beacon.
Ignite the Fire Beacon
Light but the beacon just like you did before. Third beacon down, two to go.
Journey to the North
Keep following the river until your path is blocked again.
Reach the New Eden Gate
Land your boat on the right shore and climb up via grappling hook.
Ignite the Fire Beacon
There are several bonfires that can be lit, but the fourth beacon is on the west side of the bridge marked with a waypoint. Watch out for wolves on the bridge, and if attacked remember that you probably still have fire arrows equipped. While aesthetically pleasing, heed Blizzard’s warning and remember to “Never pet a burning dog”.
Don’t get too wrapped up in combat however, as you will probably be taking damage from the Bliss by this point. Make sure to make lighting the beacon a priority, then clean up any remaining wolves in the area.
Open the Gate
Once the coast is clear, look for another water wheel on the other side of the gate. Once again pull the switch at its base to allow it to spin freely, which will open the gate. Swim back to your boat and continue upriver.
Journey to the North
Apparently you should continue North. Shockingly.
Ignite the Fire Beacon
Finally, when you reach Joseph’s Sanctuary there is one last fire beacon to light.
The skies will clear and your mission will be completed!
This concludes the “Into the Bliss” main mission in Far Cry New Dawn. Now the next Story Mission Joseph’s Secret is available.
