RIP Daisy
Maybe make it more clear what my objective is before sending enemies NONSTOP! No time to think I just rushed her over to my base only to realise i was going in completely the wrong direction and i was now stuck in a loop of trying to get her away from my base while simultaneously trying to stop the NONSTOP enemies who have now focused on my base.

I died. She died. My base got wrecked.

Maybe give us some breathing room on missions like this? at least enough time to check my damn map so I know where the hell im going.

That really makes the game sound fun. I like the thrill of losing valuable items! Thanks for sharing your story OP!

Typically you want to build your base a good distance away from any objectives. The kill missions teach that quite well, if only by happenstance when the boss shows up.

Been there. Bears and wolves and lions (oh my).

I did a lot more preparation the second time around.

Edit - not specifically the Daisy mission, but every mission I've had to do over two (or three or four) times. :)

Yeah, I just have a tendency to completely over-prepare every mission now. Takes longer, but less sad stories.

Before I park my tames anywhere, I usually build up the side of mountain/rock with wood ramps, and deploy a small building. I completely wall the tame in. I remove the bottom ramp when I get down.

No matter what happens next, the tame should be okay. I'm doing a lot of missions now where I'm toting a workshop radar and workshop extractor around. I need a moa to carry the second, since I can only carry 1 of those on my character. Makes the tame worth it's weight in gold

Daisy was down to about 1/3 health before I realized the objective. But...I was able to get her home and kill about 200 reskinned cougars along the way.

daisy got in the way of one of my slashes after countless attacks over and over and over, wish i had brought someone else along..... she died, I got insulted by the com radio lady for killing daisy in cold blood.... oh well.

Yeah, there were a lot of mobs for that one and a long way to run... was annoying as Daisy is a walking lure and my open world is set to hard, so that prob didn't help. xD She kept swerving in the way too so it was hard to snipe the mobs before they got close and I ended up just blocking their path and stabbing them in the head.

Kill > run > kill > run. If you do it quick enough (and don't bother to loot too often aside from maybe grabbing arrows off corpses) you will have a decent window to see the mobs coming and block them.

Keep in mind though that even after that part of the mission finishes, she is still a lure for predators. >< Probably a lot easier with at least one other person, so someone can lead and the other can pick off the demon dogs as they show up.

Do the drac ever stop spawning????

This is a ridiculous mission. I apologize for my advice above. The OP is totally right, you have no time to even look at the map before you are rushed. Just claiming daisy, and confirming her name starts the event

I thought I was gonna be cute, and I brought enough stone building parts to make a 2 X 2 bases around Daisy. I literally added foundations under her feet, then walls, all while killing dracs non-stop. But the problem is they don't EVER stop spawning. I was shooting them with aruda arrows, from a larkwell compound bow. Then pulling the arrows out again.

I've seen glitchy never ending spawns like this in the desert, when you use a workshop radar. So I logged out while standing on my mini-base. No good, they kept spawning after I loaded back.

Daisy bugged out and refused to follow, even when set to follow.

Finally I ran like crazy, until I could barely see the mini-base. I stopped and logged out. When I logged back in, daisy was waddling towards me, being followed by a drac. Arrow in the drac, but more just kept spawning.

Right now, I'm stuck on the side of a cliff. I used wood ramps to get Daisy up the side of the cliff, but there are 5 dracs down below now. Killing a drac just causes ANOTHER to spawn after about 15 seconds.

I finally got a chance to look at the map, so now I know where I'm going. This is going to be a pain.

Daisy has glitched out and refuses to move again.

moi daisy ne veux pas me suivre mission buger tout simplement.

me daisy does not want to follow me, at the beginning she follows me 20m and after she returns to her starting point and does not move anymore

Is Daisy Buggy ??? Daisy doesn't follow no matter what I press. And the Non Stop Enemies, we both died, mission failed. :(

You guys made this mission sound really scary. Yes, enemies spawned pretty regularly, but one shot to the face and they died instantly. Stuff was rushing me dead before it hit the ground. A good knife and a bow with grass armor was all I had. I think at most I had two critters active at any given time and they just died so fast, I dont understand where the problems are, unless you just got really unlucky or it was patched since I tried the mission.

I found that if you tell daisy to stay, she will NOT follow you again. Change her to follow, she doesn't. The only fix I found was logging out, and then back into the mission. Then she'd follow (automatically), but telling her to stay caused the same issue... 4 separate times.

When I tried it, they were spawning up to a maximum of 4-5, and I could generally see 2-3 at any give time. Larkwell martinez compound bow, with inaris aruda arrows, and something like 28 pts of talents in bows. The problem wasn't really the never ending spawns, but running into other things. Daisy got killed by a croc when I was in sight of the other contractors base. I turned to shoot the croc, and the 2 dracs running in started hitting me from behind. But spoilers here it doesn't matter if daisy dies, you still complete the mission when you loot the contractors base, run back to pod, jump in, mission complete

We both died, I wasn't too sad about it... Mounts in this game are kinda trash.
