Who wouldn’t want Far Cry 6’s sausage dog?
Like other games in the series, Far Cry 6 features animal companions — called Amigos — that can assist you in and outside of combat. Far Cry 6’s Amigos range from a sprightly little dachshund pup named Chorizo to the mythical panther Oluso. They’re primed and ready to fight for you as you travel throughout the most dangerous regions of Yara.
In this guide, we’ll help you find all Amigo locations in Far Cry 6, excluding DLC pets. It takes a long time to beat Far Cry 6, so you might as well have some companions. If you want to collect all five main Amigos, you’ll need to visit a specific location on the map and complete a series of side quests to bring home your new best friend (or hungry alligator, same thing). It isn’t always clear how you should approach obtaining each Amigo, but that’s why we’ve listed everything you need to know about their locations below.
If you’ve been waiting to get your hands on the absolutely adorable Chorizo or you think plucky rooster Chicharron is more your speed, you can refer to this guide to help get either one.

Far Cry 6: All Amigos, Challenges, and Abilities
There are five main Amigos you can recruit during the Far Cry 6 campaign. Two are optional additions that come as pre-order and DLC bonuses. The core animal compadres need only be unlocked by playing through their required side missions. Each Amigo also comes saddled with several challenges that must be completed to unlock active and passive abilities.
