The Snow Peak, also known as Gunung Raya, is the highest mountain (and point) in Just Cause 2.

Berawan besar mountains

Description[]

Gunung Raya means Great Mountain in Malay and Indonesian.

The peak is about 1,890 meters above sea level (confirmed by parachute climbing).

Two settlements are found in the area close to the Gunung Raya peak. One village named Bandar Gunung Raya, which is located east of the mountain on the end of a public road at around 1,380 meters height, 500 vertical meters from the top of the peak. Further up the hill is a military base named Kem Gunung Raya, located just below the peak on the northwest side, and the roadway from the village leads up to the base, but is closed with a roadblock at the village. These settlements are some of the highest in the game.

There is also a smaller 1,743 meter high peak a little to the east of the peak - Gunung Kedua.

The peak also provides excellent views of the settlements within the area, the Mile High Club, Panau City and the Lautan Lama Desert.

The peak may be based on Puncak Jaya, the highest mountain in Indonesia and Oceania since the in-game location is an archipelago and has tropical climate, but now Puncak Jaya only has 1 percentage amount of snow since some snows and ices are melting because of climate change.

Location[]

In the Berawan Besar Mountains in Panau. The peak co-ordinates are X:20550; Y:11830 on the PDA map.

Other information[]

  • The player earns the achievement "Top of the World" for going to the mountain's peak and standing there on foot. For PS3 users, a bronze trophy will be awarded.
    • When the player stands on the peak for the first time, Rico will shout triumphantly, "Look, Ma! I said look! Top of the world!"
    • When the player stands on the peak for the second time, Rico will shout triumphantly, "Look, Ma! I said look! Top of the world... again!"
    • In case the hint isn't given, this is the highest point in Panau.
  • There's a skull located on the peak of the mountain. Once enough faction influence in the Berawan Besar Mountains is unlocked, a blue dot will appear indicating the skull, making it easy to find this place. Of course, there is another option and that is to extract to Kem Gunung Raya.
    • A glitch in the PS3 version can prevent the skull from spawning.
  • There are no roads leading to the top, so the only methods of reaching the peak are Parachute climbing, Grappler and/or by aircraft.
  • See Highest point in Medici and Highest point in Solís for the highest points in subsequent games respectively.
  • In the real world, in this climate zone, 1900 meters is far too low to cause snowfall instead of rain.
