Description
”The Cult's failed experiment is on the loose. Find the Bliss-soaked cougar and kill it!”
Walkthrough
- This side quest is available once you have liberated Sacred Skies Youth Camp.
- Once it is liberated, talk with the Resistance Member found on site.
- They will explain that Eden's Gate was attempting to do something with a cougar that got out of control.
- They will also mention that just being near this creature is enough for you to start hallucinating.
- To find the creature, you will need to travel about 2,000 meters, so head to the helicopter pad and spawn in a vehicle.
- That will get you there the quickest.
- There are quads nearby that can be grabbed, just be mindful of your path for rivers, trees, and mountainsides.
- Make your way to the mountainside location that the cougar has claimed.
- Once at the location, equip a rapid fire heavy weapon, using explosives can work against you here for now.
- Start toward the Judge Cougar in front of you.
- Begin firing on it once it is within range.
- After doing some damage to the Judge Cougar, it will vanish and replace itself with a Wolf that will start to attack you.
- Shoot it once to reveal it is an illusion and it will vanish.
- Turn to the East from there, looking up the slope.
- You will see the Judge Cougar on the flat rock there.
- Head up the mountainside toward it and fire on it.
- Lob a Proximity Explosive to the right of the rock for it, or the Turkeys it will transform into to detonate.
- Deal with the turkeys that will rush you after it disappears this time.
- Go up to this rockbed to collect a Medkit, if needed.
- Continue farther up the mountainside here toward the next flat rockbed.
- The Cougar will appear on top of it.
- Once again, approach and fire on the cougar.
- It will vanish once again, calling in a number more animals.
- Be careful because this time, it will cause 6 illusionary Bison to appear that will charge you.
- Run down to the previous rockbed, turn and fire on the bison to cut through them.
- From the final bison, the Judge Cougar will reappear.
- Now, move keeping your weapon trained on the cougar and gun it down.
- If possible, use Proximity explosives at a distance to do heavy damage.
- Loot the body to claim its pelt as you complete the mission.
