Fowl Play Challenge - somehow bugged gameplay

[TheJudger]

Hi,

-- solved (see comments below) --

I'm almost done with the main story (reached the point of no return) so I decided to hunt all collectables, to do all challanges and so on... seems it is NOT possible that way.

For "Fowl Play Challenge" you have to collect 5 chicken
- those chicken only spawn on daytime (without rain) AFAIK
- ingame night and day depends on story progess
- when you have reached the point of no return in the main story it is night

So at this point it is NOT POSSIBLE, right?
Somehow feels like broken gameplay to me.

But you can play further after you've finished the story, right? So maybe you'll get a chance then.

My game though, won't even count it, I've caught and thrown so many chickens but it is still 0/5 lol poor chickens.

[TheJudger]

OK, thanks. So "Point of no return" means "you can return once you're done with the main story".

Problem solved!

[omed_86]

I have not finished it myself, but I read you can still play after that, just like the 2013 TR :)

[TheJudger]

Yes!

It's perfectly possible. There are at least 30 chickens on that side of the valley, you only need 5. Just hang out near the coop and you will get 5.

If it's not working at the "point of no return", then beat the game and then do it. The game keeps going after you finish the story.

I just find this challenge, but I have no idea what to do after I grab the chicken! I missed the description! Does anyone know?

Thanks in advance!

Toss them into the chicken pen....if it's the Village one
there are 2 chicken challenges in the game both require throwing the chickens into something.
I read that throwing chickens in a well will give a few XP

Oh now I get it! Thanks! I was just throwing them around! Thanks for the tip about the well! I will try it asap!

Oh I was doing the same mistake, and I thought my game is bugged :)

[Gamer's Sanctum]

Yeah indeed! I have to say it is a pretty funny challenge! I like it!

For those who doesn't know where to throw chicken, there is a pen just behind the forge (there is a table with swords nearby).
btw, how to burn a chicken in the air, I can't do it

Its actually quite easy, since its bugged a bit (but in a pissitive way) and not patched yet. Jsut grab any chicken and drop it near you, it will fall on its head and wont run away. For some reason it still counts like being in the air, step back a bit and shoot a fire arrow at it.

Oh, that easy? thanks

How do you just "drop" it? All I can do is "throw" it the shortest distance that I can and the chicken gets up and runs away, so I must not be "dropping" it right. So how do I drop it vs. throwing it? Thanks.

Just select any weapon with a numeric key, preferably a bow with 1, since you are going to use it anways. Lara will drop the chicken then.
