Unlocking AI's Secrets in Ecos La Brea

Hunting AI animals in Ecos La Brea: Mastering Stealth and Pursuit

While you might assume AI animals in Ecos La Brea are easier prey than player-controlled characters, they present a unique challenge. This guide offers strategies for successful AI hunts.

The key to hunting AI is stealth. Utilize your scent tracking ability (press the scent button) to locate nearby animals, indicated by animal icons. Observe the meter that appears when crouching; this meter reflects the animal's spook level and fills as you move. A full meter triggers the AI's escape.

Movement is crucial. Sprinting instantly fills the meter, running significantly impacts it, trotting is less impactful, and walking is the least disruptive – ideal for approaching your target. Wind direction also matters: downwind spooks animals quickly, crosswind is moderate, and upwind offers the best approach.

Pay close attention to the AI itself. A question mark occasionally appears above the animal icon. Moving while the question mark is visible accelerates meter filling; remain stationary until it disappears.

Expect the meter to fill before reaching the AI. Be ready to sprint once it flees. While AI animals are fast, sprinting should allow you to catch up. Their erratic movement requires practice; open fields minimize obstacles and improve visibility.

To secure your prey, get extremely close to initiate the bite. After the kill, drop and consume the animal, repeating the hunt until satiated.
