Challenge 11: Ruisseau du Renard

Need to collect 5 Fox Pelts in Assassin's Creed Rogue's Ruisseau du Renard challenge? Here's a quick guide to help you get them in under 4 minutes!

Alright, so you've stumbled upon Challenge 11, "Ruisseau du Renard," and you've got a bit of a time crunch. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to snag 5 Fox Pelts in just 4 minutes. It sounds intense, but don't worry, we'll get you through it. The reward for your speedy hunting? A cool 1400L.

First things first, once you chat with the hunter to kick things off, your map will get a nice little rectangle highlighting the area where these elusive foxes hang out. Time to head in and get tracking!

Now, these foxes are a lot like the deer you might have encountered. They're quick, they spook easily if you get too close, and you're not going to be outrunning them for a quick stab. So, we need to be smart about this. Think like a predator!

Here are your best bets for taking them down:

• Air Assassinate: The classic! Find a nice sturdy tree branch overlooking the search area. Wait for a fox to wander underneath, and BAM! Down you go.
• Stalking Zones: Use those handy stalking zones. Get yourself hidden, wait for a fox to get close enough, and then strike with a stealth assassination.
• Sleep Darts: This is a solid option, but it can be a bit fiddly. Foxes are small targets, and hitting them with a sleep dart takes a steady hand. If you nail it, though, you can just walk up and skin them while they're snoozing.

Personally, I find the sleep darts a bit of a pain because those foxes are so small and fast. My go-to strategy for this challenge is usually the air assassination. Use the ladders and tree stumps to get up into the branches above the zone. It gives you a great vantage point, and when a fox strolls by below, it's a clean takedown. Plus, it feels pretty awesome.

Once you've got those 5 pelts in your inventory, you'll get a notification that the challenge is complete. Easy peasy!
