Hunting AI animals in Ecos La Brea: Mastering Stealth and Pursuit
While seemingly simpler than hunting player characters, tracking down AI creatures in Ecos La Brea requires cunning and patience. Here's a guide to successful AI hunting:
Stealth is Key: Your primary tool is scent. Activate your scent ability (usually a button press) to reveal nearby AI animals as icons. A crucial element is crouching; this activates a meter that reflects your proximity to the animal.
The meter fills faster with faster movement. Sprinting fills it instantly, running significantly impacts it, trotting less so, and walking fills it most slowly. Approach cautiously, walking as you near the target.
Wind Direction Matters: Downwind approaches trigger quicker detection. Crosswind offers a moderate advantage, but upwind is ideal for stealth.
Reading the AI: A question mark occasionally appears above the animal icon. Movement while the question mark is visible accelerates meter filling. Halt your movement until it disappears.
The Chase: The meter will likely fill before you reach the AI. Be ready to sprint; the AI is fast, but sprinting should allow you to catch up. AI movement is unpredictable, so practice is key. Open fields minimize obstacles, improving your chances.
The Kill and Feast: Get extremely close to initiate the bite. Once you've secured your prey, drop and consume it. Repeat the process until satiated.
