[Spoilers] Rare Animals Locations

[rolling1ndo]

In this topic, lets discuss about rare animals exact locations. Getting them all grants a nice 15% in game completion, so it's mandatory for us, who hunt the 100%.

Got 8 African Civets with 8 (fully upgraded) boxes, west of the Airport.

Legendary Bear - Side op 48.

Here are some of the rarer ones:

Got all of them, I'm only missing the ultra rares now. :P

In your experience does the location you place your boxes in matter? And can you give locations of the fulton animals that aren't so rare?

PowerPyx now has a video guide showing locations for all animals:

Could be better - the animal listing shows habitats for things you've caught, but still, it works.

And yes, placing the boxes in specific places is key. Hence the habitat listing. (Press T when you see the biology info...or, I think it's T)

I'm beginning to think this is bugged....

I wanted to complete as much as possible without resorting to guides but there doesn't seem to be any clear reason as to why you'd put a cage down in one spot and not another. It seems to be more or less just luck of the draw. Which is a very poor mechanic in a game. Especially as you are forced to sit through the helicopter fly in every time you depart to a location.

I consulted a guide to get a few of the last remaning animals. Take for example the Marsh Mongoose. Supposedly you can catch one by putting your cages down in the marshes over from Nova Braga airport (which makes sense - habitats and all that) yet all I get is endless ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ gerbils and yeah I am using a lvl 4 cage.

This would have been so much improved as a game mechanic if each of the animals you could catch was an actual model/entity in the world like the larger animals - even if it meant there were less of them overall.

This video shows a known location that I used https://youtu.be/TGHqpvdO4lc

Just a disclaimer: it took me two days of trying the same spot. I hear that allegedly time of day matters. The leopard tortoise was the reason I was at 99% and I was thoroughly convinced that Kojima was placing bugs just to torment my soul. Either way, hang in there. I want to give you a hug because nobody deserves to suffer like that.

In the end I put down at least 150 cages in the marshes south of the airport = nothing. Then I moved to the marshes SW from Bampeve Plantation and got 2 Marsh Mongooses on my first run, because logic

♥♥♥♥ it! I will have to leave the game at 99% because I am not wasting another second at the whim of a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ random number generator.

Devs my advice to you would be to patch this for future players because it is something that is spoiling an otherwise awesome game. All capturable animals should have had a model and animation so that they could be captured through gameplay, not a random chance mechanic. If that would have had an impact on system memory or performance then the best option would have been to simly reduce the number of animals in the world.

My suggestion to rectify the current implementation would be to add entries for all the animals that you require, rather than just having ??? in the listing. Then add to the description text likely habitats to give players some clue as to how to go about completing this task. Plus increses the habitat area and spawn rates.

Sooo, came back after 2.5 months to try out MGO - figured I might as well try to get that last achievement whilst the game was installed.

Got 'em all 1st time Not sure if this aspect has been patched or whether my install was bugged but complete now - 100% & Conservation trophy. So thanks devs if you corrected this.
