Will the white wolf come back?

[Lurk]

I built a spear trap and went to lure him into it but he ran off instead and now he hasn't come back. it's been two nights the one area and i need to go get food now. the mission is still ther

I've never seen it return to the same area after running off, but you will run into it in another location - often the very next one since the quest is active.

Thanks rainyday, I've since run into the elder wolf and boar king but haven't seen the whitewolf again. I check very carefully everytime there's a wolf in the map but no luck. Might have to accept it is gone.

If you're playing endless mode, you'll definitely see it again. I have trouble telling the elder & white wolves apart from regular wolves at night or during storms. I find it's easier to hunt them during daylight hours since they're the only ones that howl when they spawn during the day. It's a convenient signal that you're dealing with a rare breed.

Since the White Wolf Coat is the single best article of clothing in the game, it's well worth the effort. You may even want two of them eventually - one for Scout, and one for Aesop's pack.
Good luck!

Currently am playing campaign! Sorry for the delay on reply. Game was so inspiring I grabbed my dog and went camping/fishing!

Is white wolf and elder wolf coat similar? I like elder wolf reduces lacerations. i do not think aesops gear is going to transfer to endless game mode, unless you mean when I am forced to reload an earlier point the gear will carry over? doesn't seem to do it in campaign so i was thinking you have to start a new game all together and i dont want to do that. finally got a stove on my boat!

The white wolf coat is a bit better than the elder wolf coat. Elder gives Scout a chance of ignoring damage from wolves. White gives her a chance of ignoring damage from bears, wolves, boars, and snakes. They both provide the same level of warmth.

I really don't know if we get more than one shot at a white wolf in campaign mode... but you make a good point. Since Aesop's inventory will be empty after the campaign ends, there's no point in hording clothing or resources.

The Elder Wolf ate my tainted bait and then ran off. The least he could've done is died in front of me. :/
