In Far Cry 5, exploring Hope County offers players numerous side activities that go beyond dismantling the Project at Eden's Gate cult. One of the most engaging side quests involves collecting twelve vintage comic books scattered across the region for a local collector named Parker Bogue. Finding these hidden items allows players to earn valuable cash rewards and experience points while exploring tucked-away cabins, bunkers, and residences.
Starting the Parker Bogue Quest
To begin the quest, players must head to Holland Valley and locate Parker Bogue at his trailer residence. Speaking with him triggers the quest titled "Valley Rally," which tasks you with retrieving twelve specific comic books. Parker provides an optional map purchase after you start the mission, making tracking down each issue significantly easier.
These comic books are divided into three distinct genres: Mars, Vietnam, and Zombie issues. Each genre features four distinct copies hidden throughout the primary regions of Hope County. Searching through abandoned structures often yields additional loot along with the primary target.
Where to Find the Comic Books
Mars comic books are typically found resting in quiet homes or research-focused cabins in Henbane and Whitetail Mountains. For instance, check bedside tables or office desks in remote locations like the Parker Residence or Elliott Residence. Keep an eye out for glowing interaction prompts when entering quiet rooms.
Vietnam comic books are often hidden inside military-style bunkers or hunting cabins scattered across Holland Valley. Look closely inside structures like the McClean Residence or the Boyd Residence to find them lying on coffee tables or nightstands. Taking a companion along can help clear out hostile cultists while you search.
Zombie comic books are generally located in spooky or isolated spots across the map, including the Radron Residence and Peaches Taxidermy. These issues often rest near mattresses or workshop tables inside small sheds. Clearing nearby cult outposts first ensures an uninterrupted search for these collectibles.
Rewards for Completing the Collection
Returning all twelve comic books to Parker Bogue completes the quest and yields a substantial payout. Players receive a bonus cash reward alongside additional resistance points that boost progression in the region. These rewards make the scavenger hunt well worth the investment for completionists and casual explorers alike.
Beyond monetary gains, collecting these items provides additional lore and flavor for fans of the game's post-launch expansion content. The themes of the comic books directly reference downloadable content packs like Hours of Darkness and Lost on Mars. Navigating through remote areas also exposes players to valuable crafting materials and secondary weapon caches.
