General Hunting Strategy ****************************************************************************** ========= 4.1 Radar ========= On Greenhorn and sportsman difficulty you have the use of the animal radar that will point you towards the animals. The big game animals will appear in red and the small game animals will appear in green. These can help you keep track of your quarry. The animals will appear in the same place in simulation, using the knowledge gained in the easier difficulties, you can save time tracking down your prey (The Adventure section of this guide gives the locations for simulation mode). Wounded animals appear as a flashing yellow dot on the radar. Unless you restart or exit to the outpost, this uses up one of your tags so your need to track it down. If you don't it will either die, after which you can still claim it, or heal up, which makes it harder to track down as it still uses up your tag. ============================= 4.2 Approaching Game Animals ============================= Pay attention to the wind direction on the radar. If it's pointing in the direction of the animals your scent may give you away. This may be a non issue for prey that tends to attack you, but other animals may bolt. When possible approach from the other direction. Your movements will allow give you away. Running make more noise than walking, which in turn makes more noise that sneaking. Keep in mind you can't see as far when sneaking. If your endurance meter is low, you'll be breathing heavy. This may give you away as well so stop to catch your breath before going into range of the animals. This will also help if you need to chase after a wounded animal. ============== 4.3 Targetting ============== You may want to spend some time on the target range to get an idea of how much you need to allow for gravity when aiming, especially when there is a minimum distance requirement and/or you're playing on simulation difficulty and don't have the luxury of a drop dot. In general you'll need to aim above the animal to allow for gravity and left or right depending on the wind direction. If the animal is moving you'll need adjust your aim to target the area in front of the animal. Make sure to equip a scope if available, especially when there's a distance requirement, to make targetting a bit easier. If you're being attacked, it may be necessary to "shoot from the hip", that is shoot without aiming so you can defend yourself. Ideally you want to bring down the animal with one shot, either to the head or the heart. That's either said that done so be prepared to take a second shot, or go chasing after the wounded animal. ====================== 4.4 Claiming your kill ====================== Provide you have the appropriate tags you can walk up to the fallen animal and claim it. (Greenhorns can turn on autoclaim to avoid this.) You need to do this to get credit for the kill. ================ 4.5 Hunting Laws ================ There are a few rules you must follow to avoid getting warning and fines. If your break these rules you'll get three warning and have the hunt terminated for a fourth infraction. You'll also get fines of 200 cc start on the 3rd warning for Greenhorn, the 2nd warning for Sportsman, and the first warning for Simulation. The Laws: You are only allowed to shoot animals that you have tags for. Be mindful of weapon, distance, gender, and size restriction. The only circumstance where you can shoot an animal without a tag is if its attacking or charging at you. You cannot shoot at the offspring. Tags for an animal cannot be used on its young. Again you can defend yourself if the offspring attack. Do not fire a weapon with 50 yards of a building. Not even in self defence. Do not run animals over with a vehicle. ==================== 4.6 Big Game Animals ==================== Bears ----- The are several species of bears in the game: Grizzly Bear, Black Bear, Kodiak Bear, Polar Bear, and Glacier Bear. (The Glacier Bear only appears in the downloadable content for the 360) The Polar bear is special case for the tutorial only and is a fairly easy kill. The other bears have more or less the same type of behavior. They are likely to attack when you get too close. Unless there's a minimum distance requirement, this can work to your advantage in that they'll charge straight at you, giving you a clear shot at their head. Wounded bears will typically run from you. Shooting them from behind will not bring them down quickly so try to get a shot from the side if you wound one. A bear with a cub in tow will be a female. Watch for this if there's a gender requirement. Predators --------- Lynx, Arctic Wolf, and Grey Wolf are small fast targets. They like to try to get behind you for a sneak attack. Try to back and turn away from them while going for a head shot. Male wolves may try to avoid you, but females are likely to attack. Musk Ox, Bison, Roosevelt Elk ----------------- These large herd animals make easy targets. If there isn't a distance requirement, you can allow them to charge you for an easier headshot. Yukon Moose ----------- The antlered males will charge at you if you get too close. The females will typically run from you. Mountain Goat ------------- The males will charge you while the females will run. Other game ---------- The remaining species: Dall's Sheep, Stone Sheep, Sitka Black-tailed Deer, and Barren Ground Caribou will typically avoid you, although the may turn suddenly and run in your general direction, although this isn't an attack. ====================== 4.7 Small Game Animals ====================== Coyote ------ The coyote will behave like the larger wolves and try to get behind you. Try to back and turn away from them while going for a head shot. Wolverine --------- These animals will charge at you, but not as quickly as some other animals. If you aim for their nose when they charge you can kill them easily. Foxes ----- The Arctic Fox and Red Fox will try to avoid you. Try to get these from a distance before they detect you or you'll have trouble chasing them down as they're quite fast. Other small game ---------------- Beaver, Showshoe Hare, and Red Squirrels are all fairly fast small target. You may have trouble seeing the beavers and squirrels in the tall grass, while the hares will be a bit more visible on the snow. These animals will on occasion turn sharply are run towards you, providing you with an opportunity for a shot if your fast enough. ================= 4.8 Equipment Use ================= Besides the weapons, there are various lures and scent masks that you can use as well as assorted survival equipment. I've found most of this to be ineffective so unless the scenario requires some of these I wouldn't bother. The only equipment of any practical use is the medkits. These can buy you a little extra time to track down a required animal in woods filled with hostile wildlife. You may notice a glass icon or a fork icon on the hud. These indicate thirst and hunger. You can use a canteen to alleviate thirst and jerky or a Self Heating Meal for hunger, but the slot these use can be better filled with med kits. ****************************************************************************** 5. Adventure ****************************************************************************** There are four regions in Alaskan Adventures, excluding the tutorial. At minimumn you are required to complete the 3 Main Hunts and the first fishing contest in each region in order to progress to the next area. Optionally there is a second fishing contest, two other contests, and several special hunts, 3 in the first two areas and 6 in the last two. [Note bonus pack 1 adds a 7th special hunt to the fourth area.] When doing the hunts it is not necessary to claim all of the animals in one outing. After making a claim, you can exit to the outpost area and reenter the hunt area and maintain credit for the claim. Just don't enter the outpost building itself as this may reset the kill count if you do more that restock your ammo. Any timers will be set back to their initial time as well. The only situation where this doesn't work is when kills must be claimed is a specific order, you'll need to do these in a single hunt. You'll earn credits for completing the hunts, with bonuses for one hit kills and trophy legends. This section was written based on sportman difficulty as I when after the platinum medals on the 360 version of the game having earned the bronze, silver, and gold medals previously. On greenhorn difficulty there will be more animals on the map. On greenhorn and simulation you can use the radar to help track down the animals. For the gold medals on Simulation difficulty you'll need to remember where the animals were on the map in the easier difficulties and head for them (as mentioned in the sticky topic by Genghis Alex on achieve360points.com), or concentrate you search on the game squares on the GPS map. ============= 5.1 Tutorial ============= Location: Northwest Territories Objective: Polar Bear Equipment: 30-30 Lever Rifle Compact Scope Casual clothing The tutorial introduces you to the basics of the hunting portion of the game. You start of by moving down the path to you left. Keep following it to the fallen log. You'll need to duck under it to keep going down the path. This is intended to teach you about sneaking with increases your stealth. After clearing the log start again and keep going down the path until your told to shoot the bottles. Turn right and position to crosshairs over one of the bottles. Shoot the bottle to be informed about how to aim. Aim and shot the second bottle. Lower your rifle and check your the GPS in your PDA. The polar bear is marked to the east of your current location, There a checkpoint part way to the polar bear. Exit your PDA and continue down the path to the checkpoint. You'll be told to equip a scope to the rifle. Go into the Backpack section of the PDA to do so. Keep going down the path until your told to aim at the polar bear. You'll need to allow for gravity and wind when aiming. You'll have a drop dot for this mission to account for gravity. The wind meter will give you some idea whether you need to be left or right of the target. Take you shot. If the bear doesn't fall shoot it again to finish it off. Lower your rifle and go up to the fallen bear to claim the kill and end the tutorial mission. =================== 5.2 Western Arctic =================== You can save at the tent thats to the left in front of you. The two signed to the right are the contest boards. If you turn right you can see the outport building. You need to go into this building to get tags and equipment prior to participating in the hunts and fishing contests. The Dog Sled contest can be entered without addition equipment. Go into the outpost and get the tags for the three main hunts and the required equipment and any optional equipment you care to bring along. Be sure to equip it in the Locker.

You'll need to return to the outpost after completing the hunts to get the tags for the special areas and too replenish your ammo. There are three landmarks on the map where the hunts will take place Seward Peninsula is in the norteast by the target range. North Slope is south to the outpost. Koyukuk is southeast of the output. ------------------ 5.2.1 Main Hunt 1 ------------------ Location: North Slope Objective: Hunt two Musk Ox with a rifle There should be a head of Musk Ox just over the hill to the south of your starting point. If you have a scope on your rifle you should be able to get two from the top of the hill. The musk ox may charge you if you get to close, be prepared to shoot from the hip to defend yourself. Avoid the other wildlife if possible, only shooting them in self defence. ------------------ 5.2.2 Main Hunt 2 ------------------ Location: Seward Peninsula Objective: Hunt two Caribou, one male and one female with a rifle The Caribou can be found by going south and then southwest around the hill beside your starting point, this is the area on the GPS with two red squares to the west of where you start. The female will have a young one following her. Try not to shoot to the offspring, it's not legal. ------------------ 5.2.3 Main Hunt 3 ------------------ Location: Koyukuk Objective: Hunt two Moose, one male and one female with a rifle. There's a small group of moose around the three red squares on the northern part of the map. The males will charge you and so shouldn't be much of a problem to claim one. The females don't have antlers and may require more stealth to track down. --------------------------------------- 5.2.4 Secret Objective: Missing Hunter --------------------------------------- Location: Koyukuk Objective: Find the missing hunter Head east of the upper of the three red squared north of the lake on the GPS. Help is spelled out in rocks here. The missing and now deceased hunter is in a small hole just north east of here. (You should be on the northern edge of the map line up east of the lake and west of the easternmost green square. Reward: 45-70 Replica ---------------- 5.2.5 Fishing 1 ---------------- Location: Seward Peninsula, Frozen Lake Objective: Ice Fishing - Catch four Arctic Char. Each Char must weight at least 7 pounds Walk ahead to the large school of fish on the radar or the Red/Green fish area on GPS in Simulation. This will be the second location that you're offered to drill. Drill a hole, choose the shrimp lure. Deploy the lure are wait for a bite. Set the hook by moving the left thumbstick in the direction of the arrow. Real in the fish by paying attention to the vertical meter on the left. Push the Left Trigger if meter is above the green around and the right trigger if its below the green area. Watch out for the meter to invert if the fish changes direction. Repeat this until you've filled your quota of Arctic Char. Silver Salmon also take this bait so let the silver colored fish slip away and only set the hooks on the green colored fish. You may want to move south to the yellow fish on the GPS. ---------------- 5.2.6 Fishing 2 ---------------- Location: Seward Peninsula, Frozen Lake Objective: Ice Fishing - Catch two Northern Pike in under 5 minutes and then two Silver Salmon in under 5 minutes Same location as the first mission, user the herring bait to get the two Pike and then pull your rig. Switch to the shrimp, and ignore any Arctic Char that nibble, while waiting for the silver salmon. ---------------- 5.2.7 Contest 1 ---------------- Objective: Dog Sledding: Resilience Medal Scores: Gold: 6:09 Silver 6:44 Bronze 7:20 It takes three "mushes" a the beginning for the race to get the dogs up to fulls speed. However, if you mush twice at the beginning and maintain the speed from them your dogs won't get tired. You finish the race in about 6:32 with no penalty, good for silver. =============== 5.2.8 Contest 2 =============== Dog Sledding: Speed and Techniques Gold: 6:31 Silver 7:06 Bronze 7:42 Again just Mush twice right at the start and try to keep from hitting the sides of the course. This should be good for about 6:32 on the clock plus 30 second penalty for the damage your sled takes, good for a silver. ---------------------- 5.2.9 Special Hunt 1 ---------------------- Location: North Slope Objective: Hunt two Arctic Foxes and two Snowshoe Hare. Use a shotgun This is probably the most difficult of the Western Arctics hunts, that is unless you've released that you maintain your kills if you exit to the outpost instead of restarting if you get killed. Both off the required species can be found on the shores of the lake to the south of the starting point and along the river to the southeast of there. They'll likely scatter after the first couple of shots so you may want to exit to the outpost if your doing this on Simulation after the kills to reset the animals positions. Other difficulty levels can use the green arrow to track the animals. ---------------------- 5.2.10 Special Hunt 2 ---------------------- Location: Seward Peninsula Objective: Hunt one female Musk Ox from more than 50 yards The musk ox are where the caribou where in the Main Hunt. There are several them. Take aim with a scoped rifle from a distance and hope you're aiming at a female. There may or may not be offspring to help you decide. Try not to get trampled when going to claim your kill. Reward: 243 Pump Rifle ---------------------- 5.2.11 Special Hunt 3 ---------------------- Location: Koyukuk Objective: Hunt one Arctic wolf and one Wolverine with a rifle from less than 50 yards! You must take them down and claim them in this order. Both of these animal can be found east of the start (in the area with the three 3 square on the GPS on the morthern part of the map) Both will attack you making them easy to kill at the required distance. Be prepared to shoot the wolf's mate and young in self defence. =================== 5.3 Interior Alaska =================== You'll be able to see the save point, the two contect boards, and the outpost building in front of you on your arrival. The Outpost story has some new inventory in addition to the merchandise from the previous area. 22 Mag Revolver 320 cc 375 Bolt Rifle 1555 cc Handgun Scope 300 cc 12Ga P. Shotgun 360 cc 7mm Pump Rifle 720 cc Spin Rod 100 cc Spin Reel 80 cc Spin Pack 50 cc Coyote Decoy 100 cc Coyote Call 22 cc Game Feeder 150 cc H-W Forest 2 350 cc H-W Forest 1 320 cc H-W Forest U 2 340 cc H-W Forest U 1 370 cc M-W Tent 350 cc Rangefinder 300 cc S-H Meal 40 cc You'll need to get the Spin Rod, Spin Reel, and Spin Pack for the required missions. If you didn't find the Replica Rifle in the previous region you'll need the 375 Bolt Rifle for the optional mission. You'll no longer require the Tip-Up or Ice Pack so feel free to sell those. You may wish to exchange your outfit for one of the new ones. Get the main mission tags and stock up on ammo. Come back after the hunts for more ammo and the Special Hunt tags. Two of the hunting landmarks at northeast of the outpost: Delta Junction and Yokun Delta. The third Kuskokwim is to the west from the Delta Junction entrance. The target range is to the south. ------------------ 5.3.1 Main Hunt 1 ------------------ Location: Yukon Delta Objective: Hunt two Grizzly Bears Head up to the north side of the map and look for the Grizzlies around the red square on the east side of the map or the cluster of squares in the center. You'll need to do some swimming to get there. Be aware that there are also Black bears here so make sure to shoot only if the bear is brown in color, unless you're being attacked. The bison in the are may also charge you so be prepared to defend yourself against them as well. ------------------ 5.3.2 Main Hunt 2 ------------------ Location: Delta Junction Objective: Hunt two Bison with a rifle. You'll find the Bison herd a short distance east of your starting position, just past the easternmost red square on the south side of the map. Bison tend to charge at you, giving you an easy shot at them. ------------------ 5.3.3 Main Hunt 3 ------------------ Location: Kuskokwim Objective: Hunt two Dall Sheep. Head to the westernmost red square at the north end of the map to find the Dall Sheep. Be prepared to shoot them as they run past you. -------------------------------------- 5.3.4 Secret Objective: ATV accident -------------------------------------- Location: Kuskokwim Objective: I've heard that the ATV acident took place near here. Pay attention to any signs, the animal could be wounded and dangerous. You'll find a wrecked ATV north of your starting point a east of the lake, a bit northeast of the second green square from the west side of the GPS map in a valley. A Dall's sheep foot print will be in front of it and a trail of footprints and blood go to the southwest, then west, then north. You'll see a message when you get the east end of the first segment of the northern boundary from the west in a dead end. Back up and look up at the injured sheep. Rewards: Crossbow NOTE: This sheep won't count towards your quota in the main hunt. ---------------- 5.3.5 Fishing 1 ---------------- Location: Kuskokwim Mountains, Alpine Lake Objective: Spin Fishing - Catch two Northern Pike You'll want to take your boat into the area where the yellow fish is on the GPS map. Look for fish on the radar in Greenhorn and Sportman, or a circle of bubble in Simulates and stop the boat. Turn to face the fish on the radar or the bubbles. Choose the spinner lure. On the 360 hold the right trigger and move the left thumbstick from the bottom to the top and release the right trigger just before you reach the top with the left thumbstick to get a good cast. Start realing in with the right trigger. Stop when the fish-cam appears and wait for it to take the bait. Set the hook and real it in like in the ice fishing, but you can also get the meter to move up faster (or down slower) by pushing the left thumbstick up, and down faster (or up slower by pushing the left thumbstick down. So below the green use Right trigger + Left trigger up, and above the green use Left trigger + Left trigger down. You can try to keep it in the green when its centered with Right trigger + Left trigger down provided the fish isn't swimming away. The pike are green with white dots, and have long bodies and a pointed head. Dolly Varden, which are wider with a round head, might take the spinner bait as well, you can just left them go. If the fish doesn't take the bait, it was probably a lake trout. ---------------- 5.3.6 Fishing 2 ---------------- Location: Kuskokwim Mountains, Alpine Lake Objective: Spin Fishing - Catch two Dolly Vardens and two Lake Trout Use the spinner lure to catch the Dolly Varden around the red fish or bit to the south of it, and the crank bait for the lake trout around the green fish. Land them like the pike in the previous mission. Ignore any pike that might bith when fishing for the Dolly Varden. ---------------- 5.3.7 Contest 1 ---------------- Objective: Waterfowl Shooting - Free Ride Medal Scores: Gold - 4000 Points Silver - 3200 points Bronze - 2800 points Steer the boat down the river. It will pause 24 times as flocks of birds emergy from the left and right. In the free ride try to aim for where the flocks cross to maximize the potential from the shoot gun. Try to hit the birds with both shots at each stop. The first 5 stops are critical as their a fierly large flocks, you should get over 2000 points from them by aiming for points where the flocks cross. If you can manage that, a medal score should be easy enough with 19 stops remaining. ---------------- 5.3.8 Contest 2 ---------------- Objective: Waterfowl Shooting - Time Limit Medal Scores: Gold - 4000 Points Silver - 3200 points Bronze - 2800 points This is the same course as the first contest but this time there's a five second time limit. Aim for one of the flocks and take both shots as there won't be time to wait for the flocks to cross. You'll may need a bit of practice to get a medal here. --------------------- 5.3.9 Special Hunt 1 --------------------- Location: Yukon Delta Objective: Hunt a Coyote, a Red Fox and a Lynx! All of these can be found around the squares on the northern end of the map. The Coyote and Lynx both will attack you, but unlike previous aggressive animals they will try to get behind you to attack. You may need to turn quickly which you can do while aims so be ready to shoot them from the hip. The foxes are not aggressive, try to get a shoot at them when the other species aren't bothering you. Try to come in from the west as there's usually one playing in the river there. Reward: Rattling Antlers --------------------- 5.3.10 Special Hunt 2 --------------------- Location: Delta Junction Objective: Hunt a Bison Trophy Legend. You will have to tuse the .375 Bolt Rifle or the Replica Rifle. You're target will be northeast of the starting point where you'll find a lone bison which should be a trophy legend. Reward: 500 mag Revolver --------------------- 5.3.11 Special Hunt 3 --------------------- Location: Kuskokwim Objective: Hunt a Male Grey Wolf and a male Coyote using a scoped rifle. Each kill must be a Trophy Legend kill. Head northwest of the starting point to find the Coyote around the green square on the south shore of the lake. The Grey Wolf will be around the red square just east of when the coyote was. There are multiple wolves here, you can avoid warning and fines by waiting for them to attack before shooting. ======================== 5.4 South Central Alaska ======================== The save point is ahead to the left when you enter this region. The outpost and the costest board are straight ahead. Again the Outpost store has some new inventory in addition to the merchandise from the previous areas.

The Special hunts with required the previously (and still) available 22 Mag Revolver (you may want the handgun scope) and the 50 Muzzleloader. Consider changing in clothing more appropriate for the region. The huntain landmarks are Kenai Peninsula to the northwest, Kodiak Island to the southwest, and Cordova to the southeast. The target range in in the northeast corner. ------------------ 5.4.1 Main Hunt 1 ------------------ Location: Cordova Objective: Hunt two Mountain Goats, one female and one male! You must use a bow. The mountain goats are just to the southwest of when you start. The male will likely charge you when you stand, making it the easier kill. The female will avoid you however, if your lucky it will run to your right after you've turned southwest making it easier to chase down than if if runs across the river to the south. There's also another group of goats north west of the two red squares in the center of the map. If you down have a crossbow you'll need to have some stamina to aim and take a shot, as the other bows cannot be shot "from the hip". Make shot you don't run yourself out of breath. ------------------ 5.4.2 Main Hunt 2 ------------------ Location: Kenai Peninsula Objective: Hunt 3 Stone Sheep with a Bow. You'll find a small herd of the sheep at the red square along the north shore. You should be able to get a shot at one of them from the hill to the east before they spot you. ------------------ 5.4.3 Main Hunt 3 ------------------ Location: Kodiak Island Objective: Hunt 4 male Kodiak Bears You'll find some bears at the red square just south of the river. The are more on the north side of the river between the green and red squares. If you wait for them to charge you can get a clean shot and not have to worry about warning and fine if you shoot a female by mistake. ----------------------------------------- 5.4.4 Secret Objective: Enviromentalist ----------------------------------------- Location: Cordova Objective: Find the missing environmentalist. Head to the eastern east of the river around the two green squares in the north east corner of the GPS map. You'll find the enviromentalists tent there. I recommend that you equip a firearm rather that the bow required for the main hunt here before you get to the tent as you'll be immediately attacked by two bears which you'll need to kill. Two more bears will attack after you take them down. Reward: Prototype R.Scope ---------------- 5.4.5 Fishing 1 ---------------- Location: Alaskan Coast, Rapid River Objective: Spin Fishing - Catch two Sockeye Salmon Landing fish here is done just like the previous area. For the sockeye same head east from red fish on the gps map to the northern tip of the patch of dark blue water on the map. Use the shrimp lure. ---------------- 5.4.6 Fishing 2 ---------------- Location: Alaskan Coast, Rapid River Objective: Spin Fishing - Catch two Silver Salmon and two King Salmon Use spoons for King and crankbait for Silver. Look for the Kings around the Green fish on the map or just south of it. The silvers can be found around the yellow fish. ---------------- 5.4.7 Contest 1 ---------------- Objective: Crouse & Ptarmigan Free Ride Medal Scores: Gold - 1000 points Silver - 650 points Bronze - 500 points There are ten scene where you have two shots to takes are three or four birds that where flush out. Many of these will have at least one bird the flies close to you in the center provide a nice target for you to get at least the bronze score by going after these. ---------------- 5.4.8 Contest 2 ---------------- Objective: Crouse & Ptarmigan Countdown Timer Medal Scores: Gold - 1000 points Silver - 650 points Bronze - 500 points Same scenes as the first contest but in a different order. The time limit isn't a real factor as the optimal shot comes well before the count runs out. --------------------- 5.4.9 Special Hunt 1 --------------------- Location: Cordova Objective: Hunt 10 Beavers with a handgun in under 3 hours. Note Use the 22 Mag Revolver, I've see a post the the one you get as a reward doesn't work for this hunt. The time limit isn't a real factor, if you're running out of time just exit to the outpost, and come back in to main your kill count and reset the clock. The beavers are all over the place, the nearest ones are to the northwest. In simulation you can try looking around any of the squares on the GPS map (or just bag the two to the northwest, exit to outpost and return five times). --------------------- 5.4.10 Special Hunt 2 --------------------- Location: Cordova Objective: Hunt a Male Grizzly Trophy Legend in under 3 hours with the Muzzle Loader Avoid the family of bears charging at your starting point, none of them are your target. The muzzleloader is a lousy weapon to try to defend yourself with so get out of the way fast. You're going to find the required bear in the two red squares south of the vehicle on the map, it won't be the only one there. You'll likely need two shots with the muzzleloader so start backing away after your first shot and check the tags to see if you got the right bear. --------------------- 5.4.11 Special Hunt 3 --------------------- Location: Kenai Peninsula Objective: Hunt a male Yukon Moose Trophy Legend from at leased 60 yards. Yoo must use a scope. The moose is in the cluster of squares along the south bank. The best place to get a clean shot at it from the required distance is the island in the water to the north. You'll need to aim quite high above it to account from gravity. It's a long trek to claim the kill because on the steep banks on the shoreline here. --------------------- 5.4.12 Special Hunt 4 --------------------- Location: Kenai Peninsula Objective: Hunt a male Caribou Trophy Legend in under an hour with a handgun. Look for the Caribou in row of squares on the south side of the map east of where the moose was in special hunt 3. You don't need to worry about distance this time so you can approach in on the south shore rather that from the island, just what out for the goats here. Reward: Cow Elk Decoy --------------------- 5.4.13 Special Hunt 5 --------------------- Location: Kodiak Island Objective: Hunt a male Black Bear Trophy Legend from at least 30 yeards with a bow. There are three Black Bears in the vicinity of the red square along the south shore of the river. Your best bet is to hop in the truck and try to drive north to the river to avoid getting trampled by a moose. Get out at the river and go west alongs it's southern bank and hope to get a shot at the largest of the three bears from and adequate distance. --------------------- 5.4.14 Special Hunt 6 --------------------- Location: Kodiak Island Objective: Hunt a male Kodiak Bear Trophy legend and a male Sitka Deer Trophy legend. You must use a muzzlelooader for the bear and a bow for the dear. There will be three or four Sitka Deer where the Black Bears where is Special Hunt 5. Come at closer to the mountain than the river. The one you want is furthest west in the woods, so you can scare the closer ones off. The are are few Kodiaks around the green square is on the north side of the river. The one you want will be one of them. Try to attract their attention one at a time so you can pick them off when they charge to avoid the fines without having the hopeless task of fending off all of them with the slow loading muzzleloader. Reward: Buck Lure ======================= 5.5 Southeastern Alaska ======================= The save point and the two contest boards will be right in front of your. You'll need to turn right to see the outpost building entrance. Once again new inventory has been added to the store 12Ga Shotgun 690 cc 308 Bolt Rifle 1200 cc 17 Bolt Rifle 1015 cc Premium Scope 360 cc Fly Rod 180 cc Fly Reel 75 cc Fly Pack 70 cc Predator Call 12 cc Elk Call 25 cc Moose Call 15 cc Elk Lure 15 cc Sitka Doe Decoy 140 cc Sitka Buck Decoy 140 cc L-W Forest 2 480 cc L-W Forest 1 500 cc L-W Forest S 2 470 cc L-W Forest S 1 500 cc L-W Tent 400 cc You'll need the Fly Rod, Reel and Pack for the mandatory missions. The predator, Elk, and moose calls will be required for the options missions. You make want to switch into the new clothing here. Sitka is beside the outpost building, Jeneau is the southern landmark and Ketchikan is the western landmark. The target range is in the northwest cornert ------------------ 5.5.1 Main Hunt 1 ------------------ Location: Sitka Objective: Hunt two Sitka Deer with a shotgun and two Sitka Deer with a rifle. Turn west, cross the rivers over the logs, and go straight toward the hill to the west where a large group of Sitka await on the other side. If your lucky you may be able to aim a shot when you crest the hill if the Sitka haven't noticed you. There's also chance the sitka may run towards you for an easy shot. Failing those scenario, you might have to chase after one of them while shooting from the hip. Exit to the outpost and come back after claiming one or two unless you want to track down the scattered group. Remember which weapon you've used for the kills so you can switch to the other weapon for the last two. ------------------ 5.5.2 Main Hunt 2 ------------------ Location: Juneau Objective: Hunt 3 male Grizzly Bears with a bow. Look for the bears around the red squares at the north end of the map. Unless you have the crossbow, be sure not to run out of breath or you won't be able to defend yourself against the wolves you'll also run into in this area. ------------------ 5.5.3 Main Hunt 3 ------------------ Location: Ketchikan Objective: Hunt two male and two female Grey Wolves with a scoped rifle. Turn so the water is on your left side and walk along the shore. Go past the first set of logs you could cross the water on. As you approach the second set you'll notice some wolfs on the other side, in the wicinity of the northeastern red square on the GPS map. One of these will be a male. There will be females at two squares on the south side of the river, west from here. You may need to exit to outpost and come back to get a second male. The males will typically run from your while the females will attack. ------------------------------------------- 5.5.4 Secret Objective: Marmot Infestation ------------------------------------------- Location: Sitka Objective: Deal with the marmots You'll find a farmhouse with a field beside it in the southeast corner of the map. Set into the circle to begin a challenge. You'll need to shoot a total of 25 Marmots that pop up through the holes in the field. You'll need to adjust for the wind. Reward 400 cc B. S. Spot.Scope ---------------- 5.5.5 Fishing 1 ---------------- Location: Ketchikan Mountains, Rapid River Objective: Fly Fishing - Catch two Rainbow Trout You'll need to use the egg cluster fly to the rainbow trout. Ignore the GPS map, there aren't any by the spot they're marked. The first time I complete this I got one just downstream from where you start and another halfway between the red and yellow fish on the map. A better spot is the point of land on the other side of the river by the fallen tree. (black_chewbacca's post on the gamefaqs forums was the first reference I've seen to this). On similutation I had both Rainbow Trout in the first two casts there. To cast when fly fishing the left thumbstick controls the motion of the hook to the left along the vertical bar. Move in up and down keep it withing the sliding bar. After changing directions 4 to 8 times press the right trigger to cast. After this it's the same as spin casting. ---------------- 5.5.6 Fishing 2 ---------------- Location: Ketchikan Mountains, Rapid River Objective: Fly Fishing - Catch two Cutthroat Trout and two Arctic Graylings. You can use cricket fly for both species. If you get the graylings first switch to the Dry flys for the Cuthroats. If you get the cutthroats first switch the the streamer flys for the greyling. You can get both species along the shore you start on. The Greyling will typically be found in the shallow water along the shore and the cutthroats in the deeper channel in the center of the river. ---------------- 5.5.7 Contest 1 ---------------- Objective: Shooting Marathon - Surivival Medal Scores: Gold - 820 point Silver - 780 points Bronze - 730 points You're walking down a path through a series of 17 checkpoints defending yourself against a series of hostile animals: the various species of bears, wolverines, lynx, and wolves. You're armed with a rifle that holds six shots. At each checkpoint you will have to fight 2 or 3 animals, with the second and third animals appears after the ones before them are dead. Checkpoint # Number of Animals ------------ ----------------- 1 2 2 3 3 3 4 3 5 3 6 3 7 2 8 3 9 2 10 2 11 2 12 2 13 3 14 2 15 2 16 2 17 2 You should have enough points for the bronze medal by the 14 or 15th checkpoint (if you can make it that far) but you must complete the course for it to count. If you can avoid getting attacked to ofter the only thing that can go wrong is for too many wounded animals to die of there wounds rather that a shot from your rifles, depriving you of the score from that animal. The bears and wolverine will typically head straight for you making them easier targets the the other creatures which may try to get behind you. Aim well and hope for mostly bears and wolverines. For wolverine aim for there nose as they run towards you. Bears fire a shot to stun the and files shot from a closer distance to the head to finish them off. For the wolves, and lynx you're well advice to shot from a distance and hope for lunk shot or to at least break up there attack run, especially for the wolves and coyote whose jumping attack seem to damage you from well out of range. If a wolf or lynx gets too close, try backing away and turning. This may allow you to avoid its attack. Unload your rifle between checkpoints to reduce the change of reloading while your under attack. When you trigger a checkpoint start backing away to reduce the risk of animals spawning in your laps. Make sure your fullly rested before entering a checkpoint so you'll be able to maneuver. ---------------- 5.5.8 Contest 2 ---------------- Objective: Shooting Marathon - Time Attack Medal Scores: Gold - 820 point Silver - 780 points Bronze - 730 points You going down the same path as the previous content. You're rifle is a bit more powerful but only holds three shots at a time. There are the same number of checkpoints and the same number of animals at each. This time all of the animals spawn at the same time and you have a time limit in which to kill the animals. They aren't as aggressive as the first contest, but you need to bring them down quickly for several reasons, the timer being the least of them. It's also possible that the animals may fight each other, if one of them kills the other you won't get credit for the kill. I noticed a glitch on my first attempt: If the animals run too far away they'll die of there own accord depriving you of the score for the kill. After getting killed and restarting within the contect this didn't happen making it possible to get a medal score. It this glitch is happening to you, try letting the animals kill you and selecting restart. Follow a similar strategy to the first contest by making sure your rifle has a full three rounds at the checkpoints, being fully rested before entering the checkpoint and taking a few steps back to avoid being surrounded by the wild animals. Bears will fall with a single shot to the head at close range instead of two, which makes up a bit for the lesser amount of ammo. The reload time is faster so you won't be vulnerable as long when run out. You need to kill between 35-37 of the 41 animals to get the bronze score here so you have your work cut out for you. --------------------- 5.5.9 Special Hunt 1 --------------------- Location: Sitka Objective: Hunt a male Roosevelt Elk from less than 50 yards. You must use the Elk Call. Use the Elk as sound as you start to statisfy that requirement. You'll find the Elk where the sitka deer were in Main Hunt 1. There's a good chance it will charge you for an easily kill within the required range. --------------------- 5.5.10 Special Hunt 2 --------------------- Location: Sitka Objective: Hunt a male Roosevelt Elk Trophy Legend from more that 60 yards! The trophy elk is in around the red square to the west across the river. You'll need to swing north of it to have a chance of a clear shot at the necessary distance from the hill there. --------------------- 5.5.11 Special Hunt 3 --------------------- Location: Juneau Objective: Hunt 6 Red Squirrels in under 2 hours with a shotgun. Look for the squirrels in toward the northwest red square and the red and green squares in the northeast. You can exit to the outpost if times running low to preserve your claims and reset the clock. Reward: Deluxe Fly Reel --------------------- 5.5.12 Special Hunt 4 --------------------- Location: Juneau Objective: Hunt four Mountain Goats with a bow, in under 3 hours. All must be taken down from under 75 yards. Look for the goats around the red square on the northern part of the map. Most of them will be females that you'll need to track down, but there may be a male that will charge you for an easier kill. Exit to the outpost and come back to reset the clock if you're running low on time. Reward: Deluxe Fly Rod --------------------- 5.5.13 Special Hunt 5 --------------------- Location: Ketchikan Objective: Hunt a Black Bear and a Yukon Moose with a scoped rifle from under 100 yards. You must use the Primos Coyote Bear Buster Call and the Primos Moose Call Use both calls on entering to take care of the requirement. (If you have to leave to the outpost and come back do this again) You can find both the bear and moose between the green square to the east of the river and the red square further west. --------------------- 5.5.14 Special Hunt 6 --------------------- Location: Ketchikan Objective: Hunt one Grey Wolf from under 20 yards and one Wolverine from under 30 yards, in this order, with a bow. Both must be Trophy Legends kills and must be hunted in under 3 hours. The order requirement prevents your from preserving your claims so you'll need to do this in one go. Healing items are recommended. The grey wolf is near the green and red squares to the east for the river. It should attack so the distance won't be a factor. Try not to be winded and get your shot off quickly. The wolverine will be around the red squares on the east side of the river, or perhaps a bit furthure west. It too will attack making the distance factor a non issue. Reward: B. S. Spot.Scope --------------------- 5.5.15 Special Hunt 7 --------------------- Location: Juneau Objective: Hunt one Glacier Bear from more that 75 yards. It must be a Trophy Legend Kill. There are a couple of Glacier Bears in the area with the red and greens squares are the north end of the map. I believe both to be Trophy Legends, as I've wound one of the them on four seperate failed attempts and had the tag marked as completed. Try to get to the slope north of where the bears are and take a shot from there. You'll need to allow for gravity and wind at the considerable distances you'll be shooting from. With a bit of lunk you'll be able to get a kill shot from the slope, as you may not get a chance to follow up from an adequate distance. ****************************************************************************** 6.
