Ashes to Ashes

Ashes to Ashes is the thirty-seventh and the penultimate mission of Far Cry 4. You are now going to confront Pagan Min, but before his Royal Palace is the Royal Fortress. The Royal Fortress is heavily guarded with a lots of Royal Guard Soldiers, DShK guns and Mortars. You need to take over several areas and capture them to lower the Royal Guards reinforcements. The Golden Path helps you to capture the Fortress, but will be easily brought down by Royal Guards. There will come at least 6 Helicopters to attack you and with reinforcements, so be ready to take them down as quickly as possible. After you have taken over the last area in the fortress, you have to destroy the Golden Pagan Min statue (Which Pagan Min sees from his palace, and gets annoyed because it was made from a massive amount of solid gold). As the victory is yours and the fortress is empty of Guards, you need to head towards The Royal Palace to start the mission Confront Pagan.
== Tactic ==
The best way to enter and capture is to use LMG's especially the MG42, it's signature variant (if unlocked), and the AMR (If unlocked) and then use explosive weapons such as Grenade launcher and Rocket Launchers. Also bring a Flamethrower with you and Molotov's. Go take a lot of cover because the Guards will be streaming towards you in bigger groups of 4-6 soldiers, all firing bullets at you. Take out all Scavengers with Mounted Guns on it, because the DShK lowers your health very quickly. 
While capturing the areas, be sure to be on guard as a soldier might come from one side of the entrances. Also be sure to find any ammo stack to refill your ammo.
