Legendary Brute hunting tips

These sixteen Legendary Animals are generally bigger and tougher than non-Legendary animals, so a little grooming volition help. It'due south important to note, though, that both kill quality and the weapon yous use practise not matter for Legendary Animals. This ways that you tin use something overpowered with a skilful scope (and range) for everything.

There are a few other things you tin can do to make sure your chase is successful:

• Load upwardly on Expressionless Middle tonics. In one case you attain Dead Centre level iv, Dead Center will highlight weak points — generally the head, centre and lungs — on animals, making information technology easier to take them downwards with fewer shots. Nosotros like Chewing Tobacco because yous'll boodle it constantly.
• Go along track of the Trapper. A few of the Legendary Animals are in the massive size category, pregnant their pelt takes up the unabridged trunk slot on your equus caballus. That means you'll have to run to the Trapper to drib them off earlier you reach the adjacent one. He's got his permanent stall in Saint Denis, but in that location are a few other spots he'll pop upwardly around the countryside. (Look for the icon with a hand to find him.) Keep track of where he is and then you lot don't finish up wasting a lot of time riding in an unnecessary direction.
• Lost parts automatically go to the Trapper. Any role of a Legendary Animal you tin't pick up due to space limitations (get upgrade your satchels while you're out hunting) or lose will get sent to the Trapper automatically. We didn't test the limits of this, so nosotros can't recommend you rely on it, only it'due south a dainty condom net.
• Use the Rolling Block Burglarize. If you've completed the "Pouring Forth Oil" missions in Chapter ii, pick up the Rolling Block Rifle from a Gunsmith. It's a sniper rifle with plenty of oomph behind it, and then it will take out the majority of the Legendary Animals with i shot.
• Use special ammo. Since pelt quality doesn't matter, information technology makes sense to use whatever ammo packs the most punch. We like the Limited Ammo.

How to chase Legendary Animals

When you arrive in a Legendary Beast'southward location, you'll get an warning in the acme left corner of your screen. From at that place, the procedure is similar to hunting anything else — and it might be a little easier, in fact.

Rockstar Games via Polygon

The first pace is but finding them. You'll get a roadside-diner-placemat-map from Hosea when you complete "Exit Pursued by a Hobbling Ego" during Affiliate 2, but it'southward far from detailed. It'south enough to go yous close, just you'll have a lot more luck if you use our maps below. Hosea's map is in your Satchel nether the Documents tab, then look for Maps and cull the Legendary Fauna Map.

Legendary Animate being clues will be marked with a yellow cloud you tin can see in Hawkeye Eye and a question mark icon on your radar.

Rockstar Games via Polygon

Once you're in the right area, you'll get that alert on your HUD that reads:

You accept entered Legendary Animal Territory. Hunt this Legendary Animal by finding and inspecting clues.

Trigger your Eagle Eye, and you'll hopefully see a yellow particle deject highlighting a clue. You might also come across a small white question marking on your radar and map. Inspect that clue, and yous'll go a highlighted path to a second and then a tertiary. After the tertiary, the path will pb y'all directly to the Legendary Beast.

Generally, when you get the alert on your HUD, y'all'll be right over the spot where Arthur draws the animal on his map — only not e'er. If you retrieve you're in the correct place, just you can't see the clue, wander a little. The icons Arthur draws aren't always precisely placed, so yous can't rely solely on that. Brand some sweeping loops around the icon and go on an middle out for that question mark icon on your radar (and use our maps below).

Legendary Fauna locations

Of the xvi Legendary Animals, you'll be able to hands get to 11 of them early in the game. Three more are in a subconscious expanse of the map, some other is tied to a story mission in Chapter 4, and the final 1 requires yous to reach the ninth rank of the Master Hunter challenge.

Nosotros'll break them down by state — roughly the order in which you lot'll encounter them — beneath.

New Hanover Legendary Animals

At that place are two Legendary Animals in New Hanover. We'll include two maps below — one zoomed out and ane zoomed in — for each to help y'all find them.

Legendary Beaver

You'll observe the Legendary Beaver at a large beaver dam and lodge on the river merely west of the Van Horn Trading Post and a little south of the Elysian Pool. (This is a keen spot to hunt for beaver in general.)

Legendary Moose

The Legendary Moose is in the far northeast corner of the map on the western shore of Roanoke Valley (and just due east of the Doverhill Nikolai Tesla Easter egg).

Ambarino Legendary Animals

There are 5 Legendary Animals in Ambarino. Nosotros'll include two maps beneath — one zoomed out and ane zoomed in — for each to assist you find them.

Legendary Bharati Grizzly Behave

This is the bear that yous chase with Hosea during "Leave Pursued by a Hobbling Ego" in Chapter 2. You don't have to kill it immediately subsequently that mission and tin return to this hunt later.

Yous'll notice the Legendary Bharati Grizzly Carry to the northwest of O'Creagh's Run — it's a trivial southwest from the O in Ambarino on your map.

Legendary White Bison

The Legendary White Bison is along the northern shore of Lake Isabella in the far west of Ambarino a little w of the A on your map.

Legendary Bighorn Ram

The Legendary Bighorn Ram is beyond the Dakota River to the west of Valentine.

Legendary Wolf

The Legendary Wolf hangs out effectually the geyser near Cotorra Springs. You'll find information technology a trivial southwest of the Wapiti Indian Reservation (or the R in Ambarino on your map), a little west of Bacchus Station, and a fiddling northwest of Fort Wallace.

Legendary Elk

The Legendary Elk is pretty close to the Legendary Wolf. Yous'll find information technology to the east of Fort Wallace and south of Bacchus Station.

West Elizabeth Legendary Animals

There is only one Legendary Animal in West Elizabeth. We'll include two maps below — one zoomed out and i zoomed in — to help you find information technology.

Legendary Buck

The Legendary Buck is in the far western edge of W Elizabeth, northwest of Strawberry an well-nigh halfway between Owanjila lake and the West in Due west Elizabeth.

Lemoyne Legendary Animals

There are v Legendary Animals in Lemoyne. Nosotros'll include ii maps below — one zoomed out and one zoomed in — for each to help y'all find them. Two of them are gated, though, then we'll include those details in their sections.

Legendary Coyote

The Legendary Coyote is at the northern end of the Scarlett Meadows area of Lemoyne. It hangs out to the north-northeast of the second camp location and a little s of the L in Lemoyne on your map.

Legendary Play tricks

The Legendary Fox is in a pocket-sized swampy area chosen Mattock Swimming merely north of Rhodes.

Legendary Boar

The Legendary Boar is on the northern border of Bluewater Marsh about halfway betwixt Saint Denis and the Van Horn Trading Mail service.

Legendary Bullgator

You won't be able to hunt the Legendary Bullgator until the "Country Pursuits" mission during Chapter four. You'll find information technology northwest of Saint Denis in the swamps south of Lagras.

Legendary Giaguaro Panther

This panther won't appear until you have achieved the 9th rank of the Chief Hunter Challenge, and it's easily the well-nigh hard hunt on the list.

It's located southeast of Rhodes, direct eastward of Braithwaite Manor and south of Bolger Blade.

The maps higher up will testify you where to go. When yous get there, but earlier you commencement looking for clues, nosotros strongly propose making a manual save. The Legendary Giaguaro Panther will sneak up on yous and probable kill you. When you return, you'll receive a message that says:

You have entered Legendary Animate being Territory, just it will be some fourth dimension before the animal returns to the area.

You lot can either wait it out in-game (and it could take days), or you tin make a camp, sleep equally long equally you lot can, save manually, exit Red Expressionless Redemption two and reload. That worked for u.s.a..

We still had to chase the Legendary Giaguaro Panther one-half a dozen times earlier we killed it. Here's how you lot can do it without making our mistakes:

1. Follow the clues. Unlike the other Legendary Animals, the third and final clue won't point you lot directly at the Legendary Giaguaro Panther. Instead, you'll need to follow a path toward a tree.
2. Take a Expressionless Eye stimulant, similar chewing tobacco.
3. Follow the path leading away from the third clue, holding your gun up with L2/LT. (We used a shotgun, which killed it with two trigger pulls.)
4. As shortly as yous hear the panther (you lot'll most certainly hear it earlier you see it), hitting Square/X and press left or right on the left analog stick. This makes you swoop. This allows you to avoid its pounce.
5. Click the analog stick to invoke Dead Middle.
6. While y'all're in Dead Eye, look for a small reddish circle radar on your radar. That'southward the panther.
7. Plow toward the modest cerise dot.
8. Shoot the panther as it runs away. (Don't worry nigh locking on. Merely shoot information technology.)

And hither'southward what that looks like:

Legendary Creature Garments Sets

In one case you take hunted some Legendary Animals and turned in their pelts to the Trapper, you'll be able to make yourself eight fancy new outfits. These aren't the only outfits that the Trapper can make y'all, only nosotros're going to focus on the ones that require Legendary Animal pelts.

The Buck Antler Trinket

The description of the Cadet Antler Trinket merely says that the "player receives higher quality skinned brute parts." While that'due south heady when you're looking for Perfect Pelts, information technology's also really vague.

The Buck Antler Trinket isn't magic. You lot'll still never get a Perfect quality pelt from a two-star animal and you won't get a perfect pelt from a squirrel you lot kill with dynamite. You even so have to go through a lot of the aforementioned steps you normally practise when seeking Perfect Pelts.

What the Buck Antler Trinket does is gives you a little leeway when you kill a three-star animal. For instance, if yous impale a iii-star deer with a less-than-perfect hitting — say through the stomach instead of the head — it'd normally result in a Good (two-star) Pelt. The Buck Antler Trinket ways that y'all'll notwithstanding pull a Perfect Pelt off of that deer.
