Mr Black, How?

[Sminky]

What is the requirments for the Mr Black Photo? I'd have though this would be ok as it's better then a lot of other photos that have passed other missions.

nice.

I got him first try (after watching videos and reading about him) but I had to chase him down. Took a lot of crawling, but I completed it with this...

put up a tent at his spawn point; sleep till next day; change reserve and watch him respawn 2 metres from you

Here's the simplest way I've found to complete this mission. I've done it about 15 times. Also Works for second Mr. Black photo mission.

- Go to his location and scare him off
- Set up a tent on the peninsula
- Exit to main menu
- Spawn back into your tent
- He will show up in about 2-3 minutes
- Equip camera and wait
- He pops up in random locations on the peninsula so keep an eye out and ears open
- Zoom in and snap the photo when he spawns
- If you don't see him after 3 minutes or so he probably spawned where you can't see him, or he ran off
- If he flees or attacks you, exit to main menu and repeat the process until you complete the mission

couple of things, in some cases those photo missions wont fulfil if the camera is zoomed, also having scent mask is very useful, and a good trick is to find a good shhoting position in good hide, and then drop a deer close by in a good line of sight, note you need to make sure u drop it on spot, dont worry bout integrity, that will add to the luring effect as the predators will come to a carcass you leave lying on the ground.

Predators are not attracted to unharvested animals.

and shooting the deer will scare away Mr. Black.

Crawl the whole way in, notice the wind direction - most times in Layton Lake the wind blows to the East, bear that in mind. Don't shoot anything while on your way in, no matter how tempting, don't scare any animals either.

At some point he will notice your presence when you're close enough, no matter how careful you are - that's the moment when Mr. Black will start fleeing - just chase him running, making photos all the time. You'll need photos of his full body, just his head for example won't do.

You've said that before, but it's not a game mechanic. I don't know why you keep saying carcasses attract predators. They don't. Devs never said that it would work, there's no tutorial that tells you to do this, and there's no behaviour in game where predators can feed on a kill. You may find predators eating a carcass if you find them at a feeding need zone, but those carcasses are spawned to show the need zone, not the other way around.

Best advice i've seen, this is how i did it. Except instead of waiting for him to spook, when you get close enough you can hear him grunting, that's the sign he's going to spook and run.

What i did the few times i've done this one is crawl up to him, wait for the grunts, then stand and start snapping pics as fast as i can. Never failed doing it this way.

are you sure about that Pic? or are you just assuming.

I dont know of course, but i would like to know if you know this with certainty. Reason i say this is because this is something that i do alot, and it always works, so how can it be a coincidence?

All i can say, is try it, and see if it works or not, which i seem to be saying an awful lot lately lol.

Another thing I seem to be noticing too often to be a coincidence, is that I often find my kills when a predator has gone to their carcass. might be coincidence, but if so it happens alot.

might be a good idea to set up your shooting position to take that into consideration I suppose.

I dont know if that Mr Black is different than the rest of the natural bears or not, but they usually always return.

[Guts]

Mr black is a super high level black bear that won't return after he's spooked. And yes, we're sure that shooting an animal and leaving it does nothing to draw in predators. It will actually scare higher level animals away because of hunting pressure. It's just not in the animal AI for them to hunt or eat other animals. It would be a nice addition to the game to add more realistic behaviour like predators hunting other animals, and scavenging your trophies but this game just isn't that advanced. If you ever see a predator feeding on a kill, it will be on top of a feeding need zone, and that carcass was placed there by the game when it decided predators feed in that location.

Animal behaviour is really simple. If an animal has a feed zone from 1:00 to 4:00, it will begin heading to that need zone at 1:00. The animals all have their own schedules they follow. They only deviate from those schedules when a hunter fires a weapon or uses a lure. The schedules can change if you increase hunting pressure to destroy a need zone. Animals ignore dead bodies, as the bodies have no attract or detract modifiers attached to them. When the lure or scared timer runs out, the animal goes back to it's schedule. You can only discover need zones. You can't create them.

To go further on the whole predator thing: I've seen black bears chilling with moose and deer all within 50m of each other. The bear was walking directly in front of the deer. None of the animals were spooked.
