theHunter Call of the Wild - Sommer #1

Tweet

Another tracking quest. This time from Mr Sommer and the mission is to track Roe Deer

• Travel to Spreeberg
• Identify a call from a roe deer
• Find a track from a roe deer
• Find droppings from a roe deer

Easiest way to do this is to run until you find tracks, follow them until you find droppings. Meanwhile use your roe deer caller every 30 seconds. Roe deer are very alert and usually keep in the area, chances are if you make some noise and run around following the tracks the roe deer will notice you and call out a warning call.

Just remember to not do the mistake that I did. After I found the tracks and identified the call I happened to shoot the roe deer and harvest it, and the game removed all traces of that individual. Ended up running around another 10 minutes to find another roe deer just to find its droppings.

theHunter Call of the Wild - Sommer - Mr Sommer's Bow

Tweet

This time we will go fox hunting with a 60 lb bow.
This one took me 8 attempts, some for hours and some shorter over a 2 week period to complete.

The mission goal from Mr Sommer is:

• Travel to Spreeberg
• Harvest 1 fox downed with 60 lb bow

The region in Spreeberg where I've mostly found foxes is the Spreeberg Lake area, namely the narrow passage where the road goes between the two bodies of water.

The tactic I finally was lucky with was:

• Run around the area until you find fox tracks, use the Jackrabbit Predator Caller every 30 seconds in case you get lucky.
• Slow down and move while crouched and follow the tracks
• When you find fox spilling that is 'Just now', stop and find a higher position with a better view like on top of a rock. Lie down and use the Jackrabbit caller until you spot the fox and then try to judge the distance with the help of you map by placing a waypoint
• Take the shot with the bow. You need to get up to crouch position to use it.

Replaying: Rage

Tweet

Played this back in the Xbox 360 days, remember how it came on two discs and when the game started it made sense as Rage was one of the better looking games on the Xbox 360. I.e. it felt like a new console generation compared to the other games at that time.

So, some years later I saw that this came on the Xbox Game Pass service and decided to test play it again in preparation for Rage 2 later this year (hopefully)

First replay impressions

Still seems neat.

One thing that I didn't like was the old style save system where you must save the game manually all the time. A good checkpoint system would have benefited this game. But hey, it still works!
