The game follows Ajay Ghale, a young Kirati-American of Nepali origin who returns to his native country Kyrat (presently in Nepal)
to spread his deceased mother's ashes. Kyrat was an autonomous state in
Himalayas which was ruled by separate Kyrati Kings. Kyrate is derived
from Kirati, a collection of Himalayan people originating from Tibet
bordering Himalayas. He finds the country in a state of civil war
between Kyrat's Royal Army led by the country's eccentric and tyrannical
king Pagan Min and the Golden Path, a rebel movement fighting to free
Kyrat from Min's oppressive rule. The choices Ajay makes will determine
the fate of Kyrat. This story has been inspired by the ten years long Maoist insurgency in Nepal.
After the death of his mother Ishwari, Ajay Ghale (
James A. Woods)
returns to his home country of Kyrat to carry out Ishwari's final wish
by scattering her ashes in a place called Lakshmana. However, his
mission is interrupted when his bus is attacked by the Royal Army and he
is taken prisoner by Pagan Min (
Troy Baker),
the country's eccentric and violent king who claims to have been
romantically involved with Ishwari. Ajay escapes with the aid of Sabal (
Naveen Andrews), a commander in the Golden Path, a rebel movement established by Ajay's father, Mohan.
In the 20 years since Ishwari and Ajay fled Kyrat, the rebellion has
stagnated, with the Golden Path fighting for their very existence. As
the son of Mohan Ghale, Ajay becomes a symbol for the Golden Path to
rally around, and after freeing a group of hostages and liberating
territory held by Pagan, they plan on breaking Pagan's stranglehold on
power by targeting his three regional governors: De Pleur (
Travis Willingham), who oversees opium production and runs Pagan's torture chambers; Noore (
Mylène Dinh-Robic), who runs poaching and prostitution rings and is herself a victim of Pagan's cruelty; and Yuma (
Gwendoline Yeo), Min's trusted general who is obsessed with uncovering the secrets of the mystical realm of Shangri-La.
However, the Golden Path's newfound momentum is threatened by deep
divisions between its commanders Sabal, who favors traditional values at
the expense of some outdated world views; and Amita (
Janina Gavankar),
who argues for progress, which includes heavily relying on drug trade.
Ajay is forced to intervene on several occasions, with his decisions
influencing the direction the Golden Path will take. The first governor
to fall is De Pleur - Noore helps Ajay find a way to attack De Pleur's
is long since dead. Later on, Amita and Sabal task Ajay with confronting
and killing Noore. She dies in her fighting arena as a consequence of
either Ajay killing her, or suicide upon learning of her family's fate.
As the Golden Path secures Kyrat's southern provinces, Ajay is
contacted by Willis Huntley, a CIA agent who offers intelligence for the
rebels and pages from his father's diary in exchange for killing Yuma's
lieutenants. After Ajay kills several of them, Huntley admits they were
in fact undercover CIA agents, and that he was sent to clean house, as
CIA did not see Pagan as a threat anymore. Huntley betrays Ajay to Pagan
just as the Golden Path prepare to push into northern Kyrat.
Ajay ends up in Yuma's mountain prison, which he manages to escape
from. In the process he finds out that Yuma started despising Pagan,
mostly because of his affections toward Ajay's late mother. The Golden
Path pushes into the north, and while Ajay attends a meeting with the
rebels, Pagan's forces arrive, led by the king himself. Ajay chases and
kills Pagan, only to find out that the person he killed was a double. A
broadcast appears, on which Pagan states he is alive and betrays Yuma's
location. Ajay finds and kills Yuma. As the Golden Path moves closer to
the Royal Palace, tensions between Amita and Sabal reach new heights,
and Ajay is forced to make a final decision as to who will lead the
Golden Path. Whichever leader he chooses then sends him to kill the
other to prevent them from starting another civil war, and Ajay can
choose to kill them as ordered or let them go. With The Golden Path now
united under a single leader, Ajay joins them for an attack on Pagan's
fortress and pushes on alone to Pagan's palace while the Golden Path
holds off the military.
