Hunting

 

Hunting basics- Animals

 
Okay, so there are a lot of animals that you can hunt. Here’s a bit of info about each: 
 

Beavers

 
These animals are found near rivers, look for dams. They appear very commonly in Slough Creek when it’s Spring/Summer. 
Scent Light orange-yellow  
Most Commonly Found in: 
Slough Creek summer/spring 
Hunting Tactics: 
Stay in long grass near a river, charge when close but not provoking it. If it goes in the water, follow it and stay at its side or on top of it if it goes underwater, eventually forcing it out of the water. 
 

Mule Deer

 
These are the fastest of all ungulates in the game (so far). 
Scent Light purple  
Most Commonly Found in: 
Clearings in Amethyst Mountain, very common in Lamar Canyon and the plains above it. 
Hunting Tactics 
Stalk until provoked, then chase them down. Ignore the mother if you are hunting a fawn, they aren’t as strong as elk or moose. 
 

Moose

 
These are one of the most dangerous animals in the game. 
Scent Very light purple-pink  
Most Commonly Found in: 
Slough Creek, winter. 
Hunting Tactics: 
Bite until it runs, then chase it, and try your best to avoid its blows. 
 

Elk

 
These are the most common food in the game. 
Scent Pink  
Most Commonly Found in: 
Everywhere! 
Hunting Tactics: 
Stalk until the herd runs, if a bull elk herd, then bite one of the bulls and they’ll all run. 
 

Bison

 
These are currently the most dangerous animals in the game. 
Scent Orange

Hares/Bunnies

 
These are probably the easiest to hunt, since they’re a one-hit-kill.

Just bite it. Done. One-hit-kill.

Quests

 

Learn to Hunt Quest

 
So, I’m guessing you’re new to the game if you need help with this. V for scent view, and you should have all the info you need about elk on the hunting page. So, basically, you gotta kill two elk. Press J to open the quests and see how you’re doing. Press M for map. 
 
 

Find a Mate Quest

 
You wanna find the perfect mate? Sure! Look for dispersal wolf scent around the map. I tend to get a mate in the Lamar Canyon, if that helps. But be careful! Some might not be perfect, because there are diversity points. You are more likely to have a litter of 5-7 pups with a 3-4 star diversity wolf. However, having a 1-2 star diversity wolf will likely end up with 1-5 pups, with a higher chance of pups getting sick. 
 
 

Journey to Slough Creek

 
Go towards the star on the compass. Duh. 
 

Establish Territory + Find a Den Quests

 
So, yeah. First, you need to establish territory. Mark each hex to about 70-100%, as it is helpful in the future. Also, claim at least 20+ hexes. Next, Find a den! I’d recommend open dens near/in the middle of your territory. 
 
 

Raise Pups

 
Here’s a guide I made on some tips + tricks first!

Anyway, I’d recommend becoming a nomadic pack, since predator attacks are rare then. So, just raise your pups until they weigh 15 pounds. 
 

Journey to Rendezvous Site

 
Rendezvous sites will appear around the map. Go to one and choose one. 
 

Loaf at Rendezvous Site

 
Raise your pups at the rendezvous site until they weigh 20 pounds. 
 

Endless Summer

 
Endless Summer never ends. You’ve completed the current game! 
 
 

What now?

 
The devs are currently working on future game updates, so comment down below some tips and tricks! 
 
For example: 
 
loufloo pointed out that if you run away from attacking grizzlies they will give up and/or despawn. (this is true, btw!)
