The Hooded Figures

Where to find the four hooded figures and what fish they want.

Intro

The mysterious hooded figures found around the islands will request three specific fish each and will reward you with a book upon delivery. Their coordinates are immediately after their name on the game's map in parentheses. If you do not finish their quests within a set amount of time, they will die and you will be unable to get the book. This won't affect the appropriate pursuit achievement though so long as you confirm their deaths.

A recent patch has removed the timers from the Figures' pursuits so they will no longer die.

[Iced_Delulu]

I think they die if we don't feed them in time

[Stanley'sSuperSauce]

ah yes. The Fangooth

[53 & still gaming]

nice

[Sykomancer]

I've delivered them the same fish across two different files, and yes, so long as you complete any pursuit, one way or another (I.E. you lose a character you were supposed to ferry to a certain location overboard), it still counts as completed if it's crossed out in the pursuit window.

[AdamAwake]

Still kicks if a figure dies had 2 die in my run still got the achievement

[53 & still gaming]

- are you really sure that they always want the same fish ? isn't that randomized ?
- Can anyone confirm if the Steam achievement of all quests finished still kicks in if a figure dies ?

[Sykomancer]

I don't think giving him an aberration would matter since using aberrations in any other task doesn't affect the outcome. Then again, the figures' quests are the only ones that can be failed with time, and I never did feed them an aberration.

Hey, I got blue dead after feeding him an aberration and not returning for a long time, not sure what caused the death. Probably the only book I miss though
