Hollywood

[[aTm] pickledmidget]

i am trying to do the mission where i have to take out Hollywood. so i shot him. the tracking is telling me "small amounts of bed, clear" so i assume i didn't hit anything vital. and i cant find anymore tracks after going for a bit. so do i have to reset time and find him again? will he still be shot or does the mission reset or something.

i am so used to COTW. this game is very different!

Yes, reset time and return and he should be back.

How does one reset time?

Go to the nearest campsite and hit sleep on firewood, then you change the time.

or the bed in any lodge.

also the animal keeps the past shot history, so you will be able to see what you hit wrong the other day.

I went to bed, hiked to the tower by their drinking area around 8:30, and waited for him to come back.

he does come at that time I have done it twice he is in a herd of deer across the river, both times he has been the one lying down

Does not work for me. Wasted more than two hours on this mission and can't progress the storyline. First I screwed up the shot and ended up hitting its flesh, then I tracked it for an hour and figured it healed up then I tried to come to the same spot (the hunting stand across the creek) at different hours and wait (another hour wasted), still nothing. Guess I'll have to ditch the story and hunt for the sake of hunting

Go and reset the time for 9am, walk out your door and head in the direction of your den to the north, the moment you cross the water, go to crouch, stick to the left side and walk up, you will then get an automated message about Hollywood. Everytime you need to find him, do as I said and you will. Doesn't take 2 hours, take about 15mins.

Wasted another 30 minutes, didn't find him in his spot, so I crossed the water and went to the mountains and circled the borders of the mission zone and came back to the center of the zone. Finally found the mf in another place, this time very close to water. Hit two lungs. The mission would have ended up much earlier than 2,5 hours if I made a good shot for the first time. Anyway, I didn't like it, too much time consumed for nothing.

i did reset the time, went back and there he was. and i got him this time. he is proudly displayed next to his father in the trophy lodge!

If you do what I said, you will find him. If you choose to just walk over the place, then you're wasting your time.

Have this "issue" too. First time I thought "Ok, I just missed the perfect shot" followed him for minutes on end, gave up, reset, tried again. Hit him again and I am pretty sure it HAD to be at least the lungs as I shot the others ones at nearly the same spots. Again, "small amount of blood, clear". Got suspiscious...did it a THIRD time, a bit higher and that's definitly where the lungs are. Guess what. "small amount of blood".

Is Hollywood bullet proof or what do I miss? I hunted other deers just to check and they all were easy peasy compared to Hollywood.

this took me hours to do i had to hunt and shoot him 3 times before he died, i even tried an elk with the same rifle 1 shot boom.

So it seems Hollywood has way higher health on purpose. Maybe to teach how to track animals.

It's just frustrating when you hunt other anmimals before him and suddenly nothing applies anymore. IF this is the case. Some claryfication from the devs would be nice.
