Third mission in Hirschfelden, Central Europe.
Pretty much the same as the lookout tower, but this time its the first hunting lodge that you need to find.
Place a waypoint on the hunting lodge to the north of the lookout tower.
Run to the place and select the flag-pole... Be sure to collect the horns behind the building for some extra XP
Second mission in Hirschfelden. Just place a waypoint on the lookout tower and climb it and look at the information board at the top to complete the mission
The first mission in Hirschfelden, Central Europe.
Find animal tracks
Shoot an animal
Harvest an animal
I got lucky and spotted a Roe Deer directly on the path and just placed a shot... Ran to the spot and looked at the blood tracks and then tracked it down to complete the mission. Not the best shot but the mission was completed.
Harvest an animal downed within 30 meters with a shotgun
Luckily a shotgun in the game just costs 6000 credits. And buckshot are 10 for ~500.
So, I did the mission around the Cheelah area, north of the hunting lodge. Track down a deer, move close by crawling and use your deer caller to attract its attention. When it comes into range, as Doc said.. When you can see it in the eye, just pull the trigger and reaim and place another shot it...
Think I missed my first shot.
And I did not get a clean shot so a lot of tracking afterwards, but it seems to bleed out fast when hit with a buckshot (lots of holes)
Travel as close to South Lake as you have explored and start walking crouched towards the lake...
Use a deer caller if you have one
Once you spot a whitetail, start crawling closer.. If you need to orient yourself, get close to a tree and get up to a crouch. If you do not have a range finder, place a waypoint on your map once you spot the whitetail.
Harvest an animal downed with a .45-70 caliber rifle
Biggest part of this quest is to get the rifle, cost 48000... So a lot of saving to get it before even starting with the quest.
Once you get to Roonachee Highs, just run around until you find some tracks or hear an animal. Then slow down, sneaky sneaky crouched or crawling towards it. Use callers if you have them.
I was unable to fit a scope to the rifle so you have to get pretty close until you take the shot. So call and crawl..
My recommendation is to do this mission in the Norden or Calburn Canyon, as I've stumbled across Roosevelt Elk there pretty much each time I visited in the past.
During the mission I came across 3 bears as well, notice the waypoint marker that was placed after the incident so that I was able to track down the animal once Connors mission was completed!
Traveled to Mount Kraken Rope Bridge again (where I did the Blacktail quest) and got lucky to find whitetails directly. Just place a waypoint marker on the map after you have spotted the animal to get an accurate distance if you do not have a range-finder.
After 5 failed attempts I finally managed to get a photo of the bear that actually passes the mission. The mechanics of this mission will make you doubt the correctness of the game, i.e. you have the bear fullscreen on your camera and still it fails to complete. The quest is doable, and feels bugged but just stick to it and you will complete it!
The key to this mission is to sneaky sneaky closer then you would expect, and once you click a photo with your camera, Mr Black will notice you and run away and you have to start all over.
In the successful attempt I crawled to about 15 meters from the bear and once it stood up, I got into a crouched position with the camera and clicked photos.
Mr Black attacked and the mission did not complete until I clicked more pictures during his attack, lucky survivor with 3% health left and a completed mission!
Ah, another night hunting mission... This time to down a Blacktail Deer with a .44 revolver.
Biggest part of this quest for me was to level up hand-guns so that the 44 was unlocked. This took ages.
The actual completion of the mission was just luck... Was doing another quest and the night went out in the evening and suddenly a Blacktail Deer called really close to my location, quick stop and use a deer caller to get its attention. When it appeared, one shot in his spine and harvest to complete the mission.
Hope this helps anyone that got stuck on this mission
This is pretty much a 'run around and look at tracks in the correct region' quest/mission.
No shooting or photographing or anything advanced at all. Just run to all the tracks you see and press X (on Xbox One, may be different on your platform)
Just be sure that you actually roam a big enough area so that you don't keep finding tracks from the same animals over again!
Hope this video helps if you got stuck on this mission!
So basically the idea in this mission is to track down a Black Bear in the Mount Kraken region of the Lake District. I started out tracking a pair of bears for 30 minutes just to have them exit the area. Luckily I managed to find tracks of another bear just near by and started tracking that one. Bears really move around in this game, and I should probably move slower in a crouched walk instead of running as much as I do.
Whenever I hear something interesting and I need to leave the current tracks, I first open the map and place a waypoint so that I can find the location later if I need to.
Remember, only the first shot needs to be in the Mount Kraken region, if you need to track a hurt animal into another region to finish it off, you still get the mission. That is pretty much what I had to do.
If you have a high level character I guess you could just buy a large predator lure and call the bear to you...
