When you select and complete each Harriett hunt, you can opt to sample or skin the animal, but not both (hence, the need to track down each animal at least twice for a complete compendium).įor the other 28 Legendary Animals, you must find them in one of three ways: (1) all 28 can be found through Free Roam chance encounters (2) the two remaining Gators, Wolves, Elk, Bears, and Cougars can be found in Protect Legendary Animal free roam events (which of the ten you get is randomized (3) the two remaining Rams, Panthers, Elk, and Moose can be found in Animal Tagging free roam events. She offers three of her total fourteen missions at any given time, and the three which are available is randomized and resets every two hours (real-life hours). Harriett offers access to 14 Legendary Animals (exactly one variant of each animal type) through easy-to-complete missions. As such, there are 42 total Legendary Animals. In my experience, the easiest set to complete is Dark, and the hardest to complete is Light (hard because of how many of them must be obtained through Free Roam random encounters). The four legendary groups in your compendium (Dark, Light, Red/Blonde, Patterned) are fairly arbitrary and often incorrect (for example, the Chalk Ram really should be Light and the Gabbro Ram should obviously be Patterned, but they are reverse of that), but really don't matter for any reason other than turning in completed sets to Harriett. Each animal type carries three variants, and each must be found/harvested at least twice for a sample and a skin. There are 14 different legendary animal types - Bear, Beaver, Bison, Boar, Buck, Cougar, Coyote, Elk, Fox, Gator, Moose, Panther, Ram, Wolf.
The Legendary Animals update finished up sometime last fall, and here is a breakdown of what to get and how to get it: Never wrote a follow-up to that last message: Based on past DLC, they will not be fully revealed for another six weeks or so. there are 11 more legendary animals that have yet to be revealed.
However, as they can only be skinned in Free Roam, you need to get used to the idea of farming for extremely rare animal spawns if you want to fill out that compendium. If you only want samples, 10 of the 22 can be sampled via Protect Legendary Animal or Animal Tagging missions. The other 22 need to be found in Free Roam. As well, you are free to choose to skin the animals (instead of sampling them), after which you can take the skins to Gus instead of Harriett for the opportunity to buy some sweet-looking outfits.Īlso as of August 30, there are a total of 31 legendary animals that can be sampled/skinned. At any given time, she will give you the option to choose from three sampling missions of these nine. As of August 30, Harriett can only send you after 9 different legendary animals (one beaver, one bison, one boar, one cougar, one elk, one fox, one gator, one ram, and one wolf).
