How to complete the Spirit Owl quest?

[JuliaM]

Has anyone managed to complete this? No matter what I try, I fail - either by crashing into the water or the rocks, or by letting the guide get too far away! I'm stuck. So unbearably frustrating!

For the first time in my gaming life, I'd use a cheat, if I could only find one!

This mission is very easy. Took me 5 min.. just learn to steer. Any 5 year old could do this mission with eyes closed..

hahaha same happened to me some how manage to complete

try to use keyboard while flying. mouse use is very little

your up/down is inverted during this mission, but you have the right idea, keep the owl in view or you lose the mission. Take your time and relax and you will achieve victory.

try not to be frustrated, but laugh at the times you fail, and just go again, each time, take a deep breath and remember slow is smooth. little press of the keys per time, and just relax. Dont worry about losing the owl for a few seconds, just aim to regain visual...

at each falling stage hold the down key down so when the motion cutscene ends your character is already responding.

[JuliaM]

Thanks for the advice! I'll give it another go and hope...

Use the WASD keys rather than the mouse. Flight simulator controls. So going up is pulling back on the stick so 'D'. Haven't played a flight simulator in decades so it took me a few tries to get my 'wings' back.

This.
Its the inverted up and down that had me at first, just ease the controls slowly for up and down, while tapping left and right to keep in line with the owl.

Finally did it, after the 12th attempt! Whew!

Then got stuck in a bit of a loop where I couldn't stop petting the wolf, as I couldn't seem to move away, but resolved this by using 'Save & Quit'. A pet makes things much easier.

Congratulations!!

This is an otherwise great game with a lot of potential, but why do games like this have to ruin it with stupid quests like this? The only challenge to this is how well a player can manipulate his computer keys. Unfortunately, this stupid quest is critical to continuing the game. It is a game killer for me. I was enjoying everything before this. Now, I hate the game. Does anyone know of a mod or a cheat to get past this?

How about getting good and learning to play. This mission is pi*s easy and i dont understand how people can't beat it first time.

Yes, this quest is stupid, the only difficulty is guess the movement controls are upside down (on Xbox), but you have to guess it in one second before you fall on the water, otherwise you will have to wait to load the quest again and try new controls, I tryed 5 times before searching in the net for an answear.
A bunch of programming time, beautiful scenario, but a stupid inverted control for what? Ubisoft should take a look at the customers replys.
There is no logic at all, just irritating.

There is definitely something bugged here... During the second flying phase of this mission, my keyboard would just not answer my command when pressing Up (even taking in account the movement controls inversion). My trick: First press your Down key, for some reason the Up key started to work after that!

I don't know, 2 sticks on the controller did it. Once I understood what's up.

[Zombits]

Because people panick and you barely even need to touch the keys WASD ! When you have to steer, do it very gently and dont touch anything most of the time, only when you're about to crash in something. The owl will fly alone without your help most of the ride lol.

[orpheus]

try using a controller
