Master the art of hunting in Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag! Learn tips, tricks, and animal locations to become a legendary hunter.
Alright, so you want to get into hunting in Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag? It's a pretty cool way to gather resources for crafting and just generally feel like a badass pirate hunter. Here's the lowdown on how to make sure you're successful out there.
Tips & Tricks
- Keep an eye on your main and mini-maps; they'll show you little animal silhouettes to give you a heads-up on where to find specific species.
- When you activate Eagle Vision, animals will glow red. This makes spotting them in your immediate surroundings way easier.
- Don't forget you can use sleep darts and your pistols to take down animals from a distance. Just a heads-up, some critters like crocodiles absolutely require projectiles to bring down.
- For a stealthier approach, try using the treetop pathways and stalking zones. It makes the whole process quicker and less likely to spook your prey.
- There's a Hunter's Outfit you can craft. Be warned though, it actually reduces the distance at which animals can detect you, so be extra careful!
When you're out in the wild, always check the trees for monkeys. Use Eagle Vision to spot them easily, then just shoot 'em or use the blowpipe.
