took me a second but i found it, worked like a charm thank you!
@odd jacinth @wind oyster @final remnant
You're welcome!
So I guess first question is what were you doing when you found it
To be honest I was just wandering around. I was looking for a haggis but mainly exploring my map for trophy's because it was fairly new
Had you done any of the missions?
Anyone have a askiy ridge chart that shows all the animals, there fur types, and there feed/drink times
#🦌︴help-and-tips is the best place for that
This is Scotland chat
Yes so I had completed all the main story missions and had a handful of the side missions done or started
Lady Legend's server under Spreadsheets, and ProXCK's for hot zone maps are the best for what you're looking for.
Ty
Ok I will for future reference
I'm going to assume you had most the map unlocked but I will ask anyway what areas did you have unlocked/what outposts
So I did have the whole map unlocked that's the first thing i did was unlock all outpost and lookouts before i started the missions or even killing anything
Is there anything you had done previous to finding it that might give us a clue? Like fast traveling or changing the time or anything that sticks out?
^Also possibly any sounds, or indicators.
+-+
Yes actually its funny I had just got done watching lady legends video on the haggis and saw the info you guys gathered about feeding times . So i had set my time to 7 and went to start exploring. I had just went and started the mission called Homewrecker and went to Milk Saucer outpost and started wandering the mountain side when I got a warning call and saw it was a haggis and started freaking lol. I slowly crept up the mountain looking for it when I heard the call again it sounded like a screeching bird at the start then I heard the bagpipes that were previously mentioned. That's when I finally spotted it before it started to flee.
what class is it? 2?
Yup
im gonna shoot it with the .30-30
dont start 😭
It would be ethical tbh
470
Mark 45 L/60 5" deck gun from a modern destroyer
I'd like to use the cyclone air rifle on it
“What haggis?”
its been a staple of my loadout the entire time lmao
me too
i swapped it for the .257 during the boar grind tho
i really reall wanna be able to place it on one of those damn uhhh round pedestal mounts of a table
like an end table
cause thatd be peak comedy
Lollll
i have a spot im prolly gonna use in the spring creek manor lodge
which is peak af at night
“And this is where I’d place my haggis…if I HAD ONE”
I love you for this
at least i got this tuff af boar multi and goat/caper wall
I even heard it like in the show lmao
Lmao
Stunning fr
the mela badger continues to be peak icl
literally asphalt black
Rare badgers are pretty goated
I WANT THEM ALL
Yeah they’re super dark
THEYRE SO COOL
Sameee
i first saw it when setting up my boar grind
"oh hey thats a badger"
"man thats a dark af badger it doesnt have any face markings or tail tip"
"WAITAMINUTE"
adorable lil void blob waddled out of the bush
then for me it escaped for a time
Thank you so much for all the info and pictures! I don't think I have really any other questions that W1LDFl0W3R didn't cover. Some others may, but this has been a great help! Really appreciate everything!
til i saw it again while claiming boar and sent his ass to shangri-la
Lmao
Yeah I can't think of much else tbh
Also, @whole kindle...if you chat in here a little bit more a Silver rank will be added into your roles and you'll be able to chat in all channels including https://discord.com/channels/393040947006406657/1448846105537155143 it really doesn't take a lot.
Biggest thing was he was on a mission, fast traveled and found it
Which lines up with atleast the one riddle of "if you're on a mission" (can't be confirmed but it's something)
Glad i was able to help guys and if i get lucky enough and find another one i wont kill it right away lol
Yeah, can't really confirm it because some were on missions, some had done none, some had them all completed. But definitely worth taking note of.
I do think if any of us find the next one we gotta track it and watch it's behavior
Awesome! We haven't had anyone get 2 yet. I plan on waiting if I find one and studying it thoroughly, it's so hard to not get "Buck Fever" when you find something cool though.
I was spending all day today testing the “length of time” theory and I’m on my third in-game day without any time changes from resting, but I see @whole kindle fast traveled and changed to 7:00, so I guess that solves that.
Yup tested that myself. I'm at 75.5 hours total just searching Haggis and testing theories lol. 🥹
Honestly pretty cool though. For those that play TheAngler it’s similar to when they first launched Legendary fish and people were trying to find it.
Exactly! It's just my cup of tea. Angler has been out of development for a year now nearly, but I still go search the legendaries with Phantom Shark and a small group of other people every single week. 😄
Love that game! Very sad it’s done. I have every diamond and legendary and completed every mission in TheAngler. But I have well over 2,000 hours in TheHunter and absolutely love it, too.
first gold mink finally, wouldn't wanna be him
their model is outstanding i think they're my favorite of the three mustelids
I just had a guy named kaidon 13 that stole a kids wild haggis
Check tips for pic
Okay I see the chat but is there anyway you could show where approximately it was
I like the challenge of trying to snipe them with a .22 when they’re swimming.
I still play it and do competitions over in Pro's. I've got right at 2k hours in it, and a combined 4kish on Hunter lol. Almost embarassing to admit lol.
Me FR
i havent used the .22 in a long time but i should try that. they feed in the water, right? i haven't seen any swimming around yet
thats the entire mink
Yeah, if you walk the river around midnight it’s a mink frenzy. They’ll be in the open water swimming, but the challenge is that as soon as they hear you they are hauling tail to the weeds on the shore.
bonking the pigs is funny too
you using buckshot?
the buck is also fun
on badgers too
it incinerates them
ooh i havent tried on badgers
that would be fun, since you dont have to worry about doming them
unexistence
anyone else having trouble with parts of missons not being completed or is it just me
i dont use buckshot on anything because it sucks ass
had one die so fast the health instantly slammed to 0 and the spotting outline disappeared
ong i think they buffed it
ONG??
30m broadside 12GA gets lung liver on boar consistently and it basically drops them
Which ones? I know the fixes to most
do not give the pig a ballistic colonoscopy
What if he swang that way yknow
😐
Don't judge, it's rude
im judging you not the pig
these comments are unnecessary bebal why 😭
There is nothing to judge
Other than a 10/10 for my trophy lodge💪 💪
you have any rare meep birds yet?
I got one mid-yawn. That made me feel really bad. Imaging waking up in the morning, doing your morning stretch and yawn, and getting plinked....🤦🏻♂️
i wanna shoot one with the .470
nice
I ain't got shish off torr besides that red grouse and a dime mtn hare
Dime badger but that's it
i now have 22 trophies total; split even between 11 dimes and 11 rares
With Taken to Tusk I killed a boar at 24 meters and it didn't complete it, with stag night I've killed multiple male fallow while crouched and it still didn't complete that one either, and on Cull your Darlings I've shot multiple badgers in vital single shots but its only given me one out of three
Stay crouched until the fallow dies.
its ok he was gone before he knew it
🕊️
I had the same with the badgers. Seemed like I killed about 7 for it to count 3.
sent to Saint Peter on express 2nd day UPS shipping
Just like all of us...😏
how many haggis have been found so far? also, do we know yet if it's possible for someone to find multiple haggis? 👀
- And I'm trying on my 2nd. This time I want to earn it.
I'm currently looking to see if i can find a second one lol
ty! and may the haggis be in your favor 
Congrats Hi C! And welcome. Your experience was very similar to mine last week. Not a lot of correlation though between the other 16. It truly is a challenge. Well done!
Thank you and to be honest I think its just dumb luck. I don't get to play much between work and everything else I just happen to be in the right place at the right time lol
Just wait till i get xbox live again
I play 5-7x a week, 4-5hrs a day, and feel exactly the same. Haggis found me, I didn't find it. But now I want to find it because now I know it exists....😏
@wind oyster fr dude now I wanna find one again and let people come see it and figure out its mystery lol
Did you know before starting the map there was a chance it was out there?
Holy crap, I was wrong earlier, just looked and I have 3.2k hours on Angler, and a combined 4k-ish on Hunter lmfao. I'm worse off than I thought.
I respect it! 😂
i hit 925hrs on thehunter this morning
and uhhh never bought or played angler lol
With many more thousands to come I'm sure lol.
almost certainly lmao
@wind oyster the rumors of it were just coming out when i stared it but didn't pay much attention till lady and the others started covering it
@whole kindle Did you have a pointer dog with you?
Some were saying that maybe a pointer would find it.
ow ok i mean not a bad thought but same time don't know how true that would be
Yep some have tracked theirs with the dog, so it does work, but not necessary obviously lol.
tracking sure i mean the haggis is like any other species it has tracks but specifically a pointer not sure
Still one of the dimes I don’t have yet!
it took me AGESS this is the first level 3 ive ever seen
Hope it’s a dime for you!
OMG! Good luck! I have 980 of them on Cuatro and only 1 lvl 3 ever and it trolled. 😭
gonna stalk up and take him with the bow
Brave soul.
YESSS
niiiiceee
ohh hes so cool hes a little wonky and everything
everything i wanna see out of a roe buck
Congrats!
wish you could see his rack better its kinda muddy with the heather
still cool tho
damn pretty map this is
almost as pretty as askiy
for real
im #1 askiy glazer worldwide
i think im gonna put buck and brock together :-)
OOHH its a female badger. nvm
damn
hell yes
im sure you could piece this together but i am also the #1 roe deer glazer worldwide
as it so happens
why are feral GOATS not under "goats, sheep, antelope" in trophy filtering
Shish broken
i think they're stupid
what should i put on the last plaque chat
I’ve only shot about 5 of these so far already a dime 😭
@whole kindle sorry to ping you, I have one more question, what time in-game would you guess it was when you found the haggis
What baits for feeders do boar like chat?
Fermented mash I think
off work and time to haggis hunt
are mink technically feral
they're introduced via fur farms, no?
or does it only work like that if they're properly domesticated
not really, theyre captive not domestic
they can bridge the gap at times
but id say overall not feral
What does a purple grey boar look like
this
Grey no purple pretty much
did 2 full rounds of the map today and nada
I swear I’m diamond repellent
I just saw a guaranteed diamond Eurasian Pine Marten and it spotted me crouching from the bottom of the ground from the top of the highest hill in heighrig
Scent?
That’s probably
probable
I was using cover scent but it was near expiration so it probably ran out and I didn’t notice
anyone got a pic of the Haggis as a mount? showing a friend lol
i was looking thru stuff a bit more about the haggis then i went and rewatched the playthrough of the missions, pipers pit mission, theyre clearly talking about a haggis and brush it off hardcore in the mission the back of that keychain says “return me to my redking”
i tried looking into red king in scottish folklore and theres not much i can go off
Ok so this just hit my head. I remember seeing the thing abt the haggis spawn conditions aren't like any we've had in game before.
The weather. . . I feel like it might only come out in a certain weather. And I'm leaning towards it bc it can still be found in multiplayer...
Just a small hunch but yeah
That's another reason why I think it might hv to be the "Right conditions" to spawn
It won't be on the map in the rain or thunderstorms maybe idk
Oh true true
it also doesnt completely mask your smell, so even with it on its only effective at longer ranges
wind still matters
figured
Anyone got a good setup map for boars that I can exactly follow?
just sent my setup your way
probably another blackbuck or similar animal
chat im lookin at a pair of roe bucks sharing a zone rn. does this mean what i think it means
oh nvm theres two females in a nearby zone
i thought they always spawned in mated couples, not just pairs
she's not chuffed about it
i wouldve thought they added an achievement for getting a haggis
Springbok, or roe deer
haggis is like some fat sausage
The poem basically confirmed it had nothing to do with the weather even tho it was also one of my theories.
I’ve been chasing a level 3 capercaillie for like an hour irl 😭😭 my pointer is just refusing to highlight him in the thick brush
if you know roughly where they are could shooting over them work to get em flying
he’s a defensive little bugger
Half of it is just my really poor shooting but also. Soo unlucky
Shot about ten level 2s whilst looking lol
if they arent better than what ive gotten already and arent special ill just accept it and not save it
Dude the bird is literally doing a warning call and my pointer still can’t . Lock in
Boy is NOT getting treats
js got a gold fox
Thought I got it but my dog was pointing to another level 2 oh my gawwwwwd bruh
wheyyyy
You have the role i'll never be able to get again 😔
#giveMonteruinerback
also js got a gold red grouse
You flew too close to the sun
Guess i ruined everything
I just wanna admit that the Sun suddenly became bigger
You’re not a ruiner .. you’re ruined
Happens
The fourth Word is blacklisted
So this is a clear case of mod abuse
Oh hey! I’ve got filter bypass sweet
Told yall
Mod Abuse
That’s two words ? Try again..
How do irl haggis even look like
like the ones that exist irl?
ive got news for you
Up to interpretation no two accounts have been particularly accurate or the same
like in real life haggis do you mean?
How are they depicted

ive got news for you mate
That doesn't seem like a fur color
Uh not really
no its just
they kinda (probably) arent real
I got a animal that looks like one
More like aardvarks
Yea I got a rubber ardavark but I lost It
Sneaky developer
I dont even know what you mean tbh
No way
is there a wiki for cotw or is the fandom one the main one?
What do you think
why you think im asking
Idk
is fandom the main one
What do you mean
the wiki
There’s no wiki made by ew
theres a wiki on fandom and im wondering if its the closest to the main one
There is no main wiki 😭
is the wiki on fandom the only wiki
is what i mean
not is it the official one but js are there others
right thank you
@lucid halo sry i was off, um off the top of my head not sure but from the latest harvest screen screenshot which i took not long after i would say it was probably about 11 in game
if thats at a fork on a path i would think it mightve had signs on it but not anymore
theres one in the wee village east of the castle with sings
gold black grouse
gold pine marten
WHEYYYY
DIAMOND BLACK GROUSE
yet another gold black grouse
In the last seven hours the golds/diamonds ive gotten are:
5 B Grouse (4 gold, 1 diamond)
2 R Grouse (2 gold)
1 R Fox (1 gold)
1 Eu P Marten (1 gold)
thats pretty good id say
gold female red grouse :)
As far as I know, the fandom website has the best wiki, while the cotw companion app is the actual best choice for finding zones like eating sleeping and drinking
Just my personal experiences
Nice I got a sr piebald red deer
@trim turtle how many hours you on?
?
oh i got one about half past midnight yesterday
Nice. Fur type?
and then since maybe 10am ive been searching for another
the one with patch at the top lemme check
furry tawny it seems
i had the map for maybe a day/day and a half when i got mine and only been playing for maybe 3/4 to a day though so i think its largely luck
i got mine at the northern end of na lochan and lots seem to be from heighrig so ive been searching there
Yeah that’s what I’m doing. Just been running around the hills
can females be great ones?
Nope
that's what i thought, thanks
i bought the map guys
How do i get a change on red deer fabled? Shoot all males?
Kip! Hope your doing amazing brother Happy Holidays to you and your family my friend!
Well, hell, the same back to you friendo! Hope the holidays treat you well, my birthday is coming up soon and I ain't looking forward to it. Bruh, I'm gonna be old asf lol
Not getting old my friend just getting wiser that’s all
Happy Birthday too buddy!
🤘
I saw a Level 5 Feral Goat, but i lost it. I hope i can find it 😓
what guns should i run with on scotland
You could get away with just the .243/.257 and a shotgun
biggest thing on the map is red deer
What do you play on
I use the zarza .308, 12GA cacciatore shotgun (for the sake of 6 rounds), ranger .243 and virant .22LR
I LITERALLY ASKED FOR THIS MAP LIKE A YEAR AGO AND ITS HAPENINGGGGG
Fingers crossed it's not a troll, there are a ton of 5 medium feral goat trolls
It happened
The map's been out for a bit already
okay i got all guns btw]
Man, it slightly sucks that I cannot do the Full House side mission
WHAT
I get off the game for like two months and this happens!
Ii need to get back on cotw holy moly
I just rejoined this server lol
Are the red deer great ones revamped?
as of now, no
Aww
but iirc the devs are aware that the playerbase would like that
we got G1 boars now
hm. actually, when was the last time you played?
let me check
is it valid buying both king zeniths?
2 months ago
if you like a cluttered inventory then ig???
idk about clutter tbh
They're the exact same gun, just different skin
I am so pleased with the new map. Amazing landscape and scenery, fun animals to hunt and they did a great job creating hunting grounds that you can actually enjoy hunting on. Some of the latest maps are just way too thick. Scotland is open and you can easily spot animals, but the slopes and hills make for exciting surprises!
Damn so many great ones on one map
is that max weight max score?
Right I need to reinstall as soon as I’m back from my dads lol
why the .243?
cuyte
243 is one of the better options for class 2-3
Check the compatible ammo and see what the ammo class is and you'll know your answer. Most guns are good for the classes they cover... sometimes. I use all guns pretty consistently and get decent results from all
idk im being picky XD
For the roe deer and feral goat
okay
easiest way to check is to click on compatible items and check the ammo for classes
I got my first melanistic today 🥹🥹🥹
congrats!
ty thats all
now to buy 20 tents 😭
agh this hurt
is this a DLC weapon?
idek i got everysingle dlc 😭
Ye
I have every DLC too (or my buddy does, thank you Steam Families) but I don't recall seeing that specific rifle
I see
The .22 mag comes in the newest gun dlc
we also have great one wolves
haggis is a myth!
We know that already
I shot the "Haggis" before spotting it, the mission was rendered softlocked because there was a hat on the ground, and another hat that was still propped up which I couldn't spot
I've got another handful of bugs about Scotland I'd love to report but I can't figure out how to get post permissions in #1062059141436297246
i can make the report for you?
That's a known issue
now this is a gorgeous trophy
bit mentally tapped out rn so I request that the ticket system be used instead
its okay i can also ask someone else hehe
are you a newer moderator?
Got the role a couple of months ago! Why?
im just wondering because i havent seen you before 😊
may i dm you with a few questions
I’ve been in the server for a while but I was much quieter previously !
oooo
its not really important enough to make a ticket about it imo
If it’s a server matter it’s best to make a ticket regardless as individual mods don’t typically take on DMs!
its really just a question hehe
what do players primarily look for when trying to "find the perfect trophy?"
You’re welcome to dm me then!
For me it’s a species I enjoy + a dime and/or rare fur
My perfect trophy would be a rare fur diamond lynx for example ! But typically players will be happiest with bigger trophies , gold rares are great!
Tbh I’m not that fussed about the species , most players are chuffed with anything it’s really about that diamond factor and rare furs
a brown red deer hind
it's really up to the player preferences
what does the TRURACS free dlc do
That’s the antlers and horn randomization
should i download it
my english not perfect ^^ but i see that with the haggi ,now i hunt at night see some capercaillie and wanna shoot them,i was 30m from than i hear a scream ,short but brutal loud and not a friendly scream ..the birds fly away,i was freeze,lol ,no clue wth it is ,so i just watch if i see something on the nightview and let the dog search for animals ,but i see nothing.
bagpipe sounds?
i watch youtube some videos.but just 1 i see the Haggi make a noise ,but mine was not like a bagpipe,it was a short scary scream..did haggis scream?
i was now for houers on that place and search ,maybe tonight i try it again
just got three ducks with one 12 ga birdshot
Thats crazy
lol
but they made a funny cryptid of it in game
is it sumn that can be actually shot ingame at a point or is it just nonsense
Yes
oh it can be shot
it turns into a plate with an actual haggis, like the stuffed sheep's stomach, in the lodge
cus ibe shot the hat alr
if ever an iceland map yall needa have svið🙏
ik it wont be tho cus its to small but
i think on my map is 1 haggi .. i watch just some videos..they hunt some on first houers in the game..can be just some special shots ,thats why i kill many whit the new gun with magnum bullets ,and kill 100 of animals with shots in Ass ..so many organs i hit..i think you must make some special shots
yes ,,i know it for 3 days,,watch youtube to see what new animals they hunt ,new rare albinos,lucys....than i see a haggis video..so funny
wait so do we know how it spawns?
.
ty for answering me sire
nobody knows...but i think you must make some special shots..
hmm
so many messages..
read for 2 days ,,but they talk much shhhhhh... they run clockwise or do wired thinks,, fact is guy hunt the haggis after some houers..must be some special shots i think..or 1 stone you must run over...lol
whats the stone about?
just saying...no clue
if you start mission you are in the south ..maybe a stone is a trigger yes..but i think thats a special shot,or maybe some in a raw...leber,lung,stomak,heart or something..no clue
i play my golf online^^ than i play my ps4 al night long and search that place i hear that wired scream
the landmarks have haggis lore, and the story missions hint at the haggis being down pipers pit
the bagpipe must be one trigger to spawn tho
that mission i make ,but dont work - cant shoot that haggis from the tree ,so i must restart ,
i just take that Dino now..but will not do the missions..first i search on that place i hear that scream
Funny looking level 8
what the
Painful
the antlers are so thick
decided to tax him for his weirdness lol
i would've too lol
ive never had a bird troll wow
My lvl 3 trolled but I got a lvl 2 dime. I've had waterfowl troll me before. I've been after a sika forever and I knew he would troll, I had a feeling but that was super close.
oh wow oof yeah sika deer are tough
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imt0NUBStyA the guy say it make a call like a cat or bird screeching ,, i play this game for Years ,now im sure on my Map i have a Haggis.. that scream was just sick !
i had no bagpipe sound..but this sound was the loudest i ever had on Cotw .. bruatl loud ..
hunting time ^^
anyone down to hunt?
What happened to the red deer scruff??
i still dont have the map yet because im asking for it for christmas 😭
got this from scotland
i shot it bad the first time n tracked the blood to them again i saw that heard had a lvl 4 n i thought tht was the lvl 4 i panic when the albino sika deer got up and hurry up and went for a vital so I didn’t completely botched it lol
Great shots!! From a player that struggles to hit more than one thing at a time
ohh my gosh lol
Finally fisrst ever diamond black grouse.
1.15 off max score
i appreciate tht
Yeah hes pretty damn big. I didnt even know bc I didnt spot him
I shot one with the .300 without knowing it was diamond
does anyone know if its possible to find the haggis in a server if i dont own the dlc? has anyone done that?
Scope spotting saves lives
Someone has stolen one yeah but it's generally kinda frowned on so far unless you're in agreement with the host
I think real nice multiplayer etiquette is that if you claim a trophy (dime or rare) you should’ve or should shoot a solid number of non trophy animals to contribute to respawns
i dont really know how respawns etc work tbh
Like you can just trophy hunt .. but why not claim some other animals just for the love of the game and it helps the host out by giving them fresh respawns
Animal dies , you claim it , it’ll respawn later on , idk specifically how multi respawns work timings wise but the host will get fresh animals for those you kill on their map
That's rough. I'm really particular about using the right caliber. Even if I were to grind I wont use the big guns on small stuff, makes me force myself to make better shots. I'm getting close to every bird diamond in the game
Anyone got that map of feeder spots for boar?
I may use post feeders because fallow and boar grind ? Yes please
They’re also just so much easier because you’ll refill em allll at once
I'm getting sick of these damn goats
Been farming for hours and the best thing I got out of it was an albino pheasant
And here I am 324 max levels feral goats later
And no super rares
3950+ goats killed
I do! Honse yeeted it to me
Throw it my way
Arghhh feral goat white disturbed veg right next to a mountain hare track
Had me hyped then
It's like the more I kill the more inbred and worse they become, haven't seen a lvl 5 or a good lvl 4 in ages now
i just know hed taste so good in a stew
that would be so good as svid
RIP
I've found 6 lvl 5 goats on Scotland and I've probably only killed 30 total. Only 2 have trolled
this made me laugh
Yea I'm throwing the balance of the whole ecosystem way off
I might need to re-check some other ponds and do something else for a while
i loveee ingame photography raughrr
MROWW
there aint no damn way bro 😭😭
Never expect an animal that isn't max level to make diamond, unless the minimum estimation of the trophy score guarantees it.
yeah I know that but this is just pure evil 😭
found mela grouse gold lets go
first rare grouse
ive spent 4 hours without resting since 00:00 its currently 16:10 in my game so only anotherrrr 8 more hours! 😂
Anyone mind helping me get the checkpoints in Scotland?
sick dude
anyone else come across these albino and piebald tree stumps and get excited for half a second?
I have no reaction when I see a piebald or albino😭
dang! i was on the edge of my seat when i saw this guy earlier today
This version looks cool
Yeah it's interesting, now i have both versions. sucks that it wasn't diamond though
Oh I just noticed it was 9 legendary
Though it was an 8 based off the rack
That’s unfortunate
Yeah most of my 9's are sad racks
cute
@quick pasture I'm not allowed to post in haggis-chat. Do your non-dynamic clocks (the ones that say "quartz" on them) all show 4:54 as the time?
Not sure if you know that rack cannot make diamond
Is there any new info abt the haggis?
Nah
Just have to be delusional to spawn it
Nope, they are synced with the in game clock and the hands move. The ones in outposts that are in the areas the Haggis haven't been found don't move.
There's also flashing digital clocks that always say 00:00 in outposts outside Haggis Territory.
I've been studying every single little detail for the past few days and I really think I'm onto something very solid here.
The reason I ask is that, even though it's not in the correct region(s), the starting outpost is something you'd have to visit to get to mission 2, so it could technically have a clue, I guess? I figured it's probably a static graphic for everyone (ie. all the non-working analog clocks are 4:54), but at this point, I figured it didn't hurt to ask.
yes i searched all of main outpost and it has no clues
other than bagpipes
and theres a fire u can interact with
Man, the internet is coming up blank. I just want confirmation of the time on the non-working analog clocks from anyone else's game so I can stop thinking about that. Alternately, I could go to bed. That seems healthier.
theyre stuck on 455 yes
all of them
the ones that do work are synced w in game time and are in haggis regions
I appreciate you relieving my dumb ol' brain.
The only other thing I could think, and it's probably been discussed to death, was the "2 has a ring to it" comment, and the fact that there's a smaller stone ring in addition to the whispering stones, so 2 rings. No idea where to go from there.
Unless the t(60 i)me T(10 I)ME thing has a little/big connection to the little and big rings.
what mission chain is the Benelhag in?
Eat Your Hat, I believe.
Hmmm...did you do the quest where you have to pick up veggies from 2 raised garden beds just outside the outpost?
not yet but i have nothing like that
Huh...I wonder if triggering that mission is the same thing that triggers the haggis.
(because I now wonder that about everything, including things in real life, because I'm losing my mind)
What side quests do you currently have?
Meet your Marker, Haste Ye Back, on the sly, taken to tusk, glorious twelve, stag night, and Cull your Darlings
Huh...I don't think I had to finish any of those first, but I could be misremembering. Have you spotted a red deer? Harvesting one is the first task. Wait...no, if you finished Full House, you did.
Maybe try Haste Ye Back? It's come up a bunch in the theory crowd.
Dibs
Yep, understood. There's language in that quest that seems pretty clearly related, though, and I'm just making a guess. Of the ones you haven't completed, Haste, Meet, Sly, and Stag are the ones I have completed, and I have the Benelhag.
@trim turtle I keep talking, and still can't post in haggis-chat. One thought I had was killing one or more large animals (large "I"s) and one or more small animals (little "i"s) in the same region.
Well that ruins my next theory, which was 5 large animals (10 large "I") and 30 small animals (60 small "i").
Other random theories before I crash out for the night, and, again, I'm assuming I'm not saying anything new, and just missed the discussion in the 4000 comments
The hole with the dude in it where you throw the keychain...that quest chain could be a KEY CHAIN.
The "keep at it" maybe means there's a big clue or trigger in one of the castle areas, since castles have keeps.
He’s hoarding haggis
i was speculating about that mission
at one point
but i tested my theory and found it not to work lol then the poem came out and busted it completely
but the back of that keychain says return me to
ruairidh, or rory, means red king
i tried to dig into red king, and look thru folklore but found nothing that links with haggis
I'm shaking
Pardon me. 81 kills... I had three on my list from Hirsh still
good gods
jeez im 1200 kills in, my buddy is 2700 and my other buddy is 3300, none of us have popped one yet, ive gotten 7 rares and countless dimes no max score and my buddy at 2700 got a sr black gold, imo, cooler than G1, and my 3300 friend aint got nothing but max score dimes and rares like me lol
hope you know lucky you are
Who got zones feed zones on new map for wild boar
Has anyone found the haggis at night?
apparently 2 have been, not confirmed though
Bro I swear this thing aint real😭😭😭😭😭😭
Ive been playing all day today and yesterday
that aint nothing bro we got people (including myself) who’ve been searching all week every waking second
some are 80+ hours into the haggis search
most of us are theorizing and collecting clues off map dialogue, sounds, missions, outposts, and then the hints the devs gave
we have a good amount of info so far but still not enough to have solid guesses
I swear no one who finds it is actively looking for it bro 😂😂😂😭😭
yep seems the haggis finds you instead of you finding it lol
Its always someone just randomly hunting grouse or smt
theres been a lot of ways its been found so far, some have barely done anything on the map, some have done a little bit of stuff, and some recently have been actually looking for it and found it
That’s the thing
myself, i’ve completed every mission there is available side and main. and have all outposts, landmarks, and outlooks
Stop focusing on it
Are we solid on the no time switching?
Js play the game
nope
I found mine after switching
And fast travelling
Manx you found a haggis
not solid on much but the fact that it leaves tracks, poop, disveg, feed zones, and that once it is on the map, it wont leave
and then we have hints about the moon, and the #2 so far
The once its on the map part is releaving
yes manx is one of the people who have gotten one
Can’t stress how much I would pânic if I lost it or my game crashed 😭😭
oh and “tiiiiiiiiiime. TIIIIME.
lol
that would suck😂😂
I even tried to play bagpipes on my mic lol
i swear i seen mine but im not sure and i didnt get to spot it
Bro imagine finding a level 5
none yet!
Be nice to find at least one
Seen a few books in the house saying “out run the past “
The wash machines set with time of 2;45 and the dryer set at time 3;18
Not sure if they are clue
how do you get acces to voice channels
Boy do I know it! I had a full shock moment when I realized what it was and @pine lily got to hear my freakout 😅
Still definitely on the "holy f- did that really happen??" vibe

I don’t know I like to hunt

👀
GET TO ITTTT
I can’t I have to go shoot a Chinese water deer😅
gg
Only got one piece of backstrap left in the freezer
i could imagine, arent those things small
And gosh dammit I want to make some more stew for Christmas
here in texas one big wt last us for months 😂
Kind of if you call 20 kg small
Lmao the area which I hunt is very good for roe, muntjac, and Chinese
thats small💔
Nah
but theyre meant to be small so
Ye
the bucks ive killed are usually pushing close or over 100lbs/45kg
Can’t wait till I get to go out on the reds
i wish dude
cool animals out there
we got axis deer here in Texas
personally never hunted them but super pretty deer
Fr
My guy head up to East Texas Y’all have warthog
Wild warthog let me make that very clear
Also you technically have Elk in some parts of your desert
oh bubba im from east texas
born and raised
Nice
Go find one
Lmao
My freezer Hella empty can I come shoot one😂
hell yea we need more people to come
I’m very good shot trust
love 2 see it lol well im back to hunting my scotland good luck to you my friend
Thank you and much luck for finding diamonds
And the wild haggis
Dang
60 lower case I and 10 upper case I in the haggis clue .... what does it mean
I love that people are analyzing the haggis poem like a poem by Emily Dickinson
Its like riddles in the dark
Has anyone found the haggis on a multiplayer map?
Are people reaching a sort of consensus regarding the spawn mechanics already?
I doubt it is any overly complex mechanic right? Looking at it from a dev POV, they are seeing and gauging our reaction to this for the first time so it would be sensible to create a non-obvious easy to code mechanic? Almost certainly(?) tied to conpletetion of mission 2 and a second condition which has to have the ability to be triggered within a reasonable time frame (Stacies account).
I first felt like after completion of mission 2 there would just be a stupid low spawn RNG every time you load a session and that the previously unseen spawn mechanic is just that. But i was wondering what other factors could possibly affect it from a coding POV? I feel like some non-obvious things that are easy would be:
Spent 60 Minutes in session and have exactly 10 harvests.
Have a certain harvest history prior to spawn (certain variety of animals for example or something)
But yall have probably been over these options a million times i just hopped on here xD
But also doubt theres like a key mechanic that makes it spawn just maybe even allows the RNG for its respawn to run because otherwise you could just spam them maybe im being stupid though idk
Gonna be a pain to figure out what exactly else could contribute to it ESPECIALLY because its seemingly such a low requirement that triggers the RNG it is virtually impossible to track down the cause for it when it actually spawns and you then also actually find it later on. If its something that could happen to everyone and inconspicious
That's a really smart way of doing a cryptid like this i really like it
Is Scotland, Rancho or Cuatro worth it?
SCOTLANDDD
BECOME HAGGIS HUNTER
I'm used to Spanish wildlife, and I like it
cuatro is big fun
But also ranch for the lynx and the turkeys
But of course, Scotland produces many new animals
(side effects may include schizophrenia, delusions, high blood pressure, depression, insomnia and insanity)
vegeration is reallly loud
So? Between four and Scott, which one?
scotland
(side effects may include schizophrenia, delusions, high blood pressure, depression, insomnia and insanity)
sorry i have to say a warning before recommending this
legally
What?-
I like both of them
its your choice
I can't decideeeeeeee!
The thing is, I don't know how to approach animals without making noise
don’t go other map then
it’s way more difficult
Yeah, is there a skill for that? So they can't hear you so much? And is there one to tell if the animal is silver, gold, or diamond?
I'll go to Yukon to practice it
yes
What?
Tell me
I already have the ZARZA and the arzyna, I don't need any more
fine
have u considered buying both
now hear me out!
you will buy both in the future anyways🤷♂️
@opal brook
I can't buy both of them at once right now
What are the reasons?
just a reminder that scotland map was announced on the same day that Scotland qualified for the world cup with 4 fantastic goals and 98 minutes of anxiety inducing refereeing
- bicycle kick from mctominay in 3 minutes of the match
- Shankland scores in a nudge from a corner
- Tierney smashes the ball and curls it round Schmeichel
- kenny mclean lobs the ball from his own half and scores in the 98th minute to formally end the game putting scotland 2 goals ahead in the last seconds
the map looks very nice too
majestic rocky hills and temperate rainforests? hell yeah
wheres my haggis
gotta go find it
i tried
requierments to spawn the haggis 👀
So far he has led me 2 a Mixed goat, Diamond goat, and a Mela red grouse
he himself? nowhere to be found yet
Is there anything class 7 or above on scotland?
My lodge
Nope
Red deer is the highest classed animal, right?
Yeah 👍🏻
Alright, thanks mate
Nice, gg
Cool
Yep!
felt like it was kinda short but imma just do the sides now
i thought u were supposed to kill haggis in the story
No it’s a random thing you can find on the map (apart from the fake one in mission 2 ofc)
oh so you can kill multiple?
Yes a developer said you can find more than one! But they are very, very rare
Gotcha okay
How rare is a max weight, max score female red fox?
Can anyone give there advice, I've been blasting Boars non stop.. first day 1 diamond, 2 rares. since then 0 rares, Diamonds anything.. 500+ kills nothing.. is it Just bad rng luck or should I move all my feeders?
like i literally cant spawn a diamond or anything and its soo frustrating
WELL. I'm a total noob at it but I just popped a lucky G1 boar yesterday using feeders without even one diamond. What are the levels and weights of the boars you are seeing?
i just keep getting level 3 and 4 respawns .. just bad rng i guess
I feel like i'm respawning the same ones i shoot
nice job on a G1!
I'm ten days on this ground can't get sh#t
lol
grind*
Yeah that sounds possible. I recommend leaving the 4s for a round or two and clearing your 3s out like a psychopath to see if you can up your 4s count.
ok
You want those 3s to split into small 2s and 4s
good idea
Guys
A solid minute of police cars and ambulances just went past
And parked a few roads down
And thanks! I got one in 81 kills while I was still setting up 😅 I've got like 50-ish level 1 and 2 pigs on both my day and night cycles between my three zones
It's kinda insane
Straight level 3 massacre
wow, yeah , i've been rotating between day and night and I wonder if that's bad to do.
thats amazing 81 in
I cycled that way and obviously it didn't hurt me haha
Anyone know what part of Scotland the map is based of?
“Big circle around fort William”
appreciate it
NAHUH
Funny he even used big circle which would be a haggis reference imo
Oh so we're in the highlands of Scotland, cool
How are you guys finding the wild haggis?
join the haggis hunters club section
lots of info there
@jade thicket
How do I join?
think you will need a mod invite
Ok
Just click threads on this channel and it’ll be there
if you select to see all channels you maybe able to see it too and just join
On mobile it’s a little hidden but it should be under threads when you click the name of this channel at the top of your screen
aw yes the rooster technique get a brainshot lol
every single time I spook this herd they all just stand around
easy way to farm bow xp I guess
Great way to practice your aim if you use the 3 or 5 pin
I swear, how am I meant to get a fox from 200m 😭 It's so damn far for such a small target
its not that bad go to hirschfelden practice on the target range
with the weapon you using
i literally just been shooting fox minute ago
😁
I've hit one 3 seperate times, but it only wounded them
Wasp, my favourite gun for small
honestly as above spend 10 15 mins getting the weapon you using dialed in
at 200m or more
And you basically have to get it first shot because they're so quick
for the mission?
Yep
you will do it easy just do a little practice
.243 at that range is literally point and shoot
on the cross hair
try to get a broadside shot ribcage just after front leg
the good news is that that mission doesn't require a passed harvest check
so it doesnt' even have to be a good shot. the .270 is overpowered for foxes so it's guaranteed to die
-# I'm assuming you're referring to that one mission on Hirsch
OH GOD I SEE yep cool idk why I thought I had to pass harvest 😂
just punishing myself I guess!!
thinks of the bow hunting one 😁
Is there and special place to find haggis?
No one knows
Went hunting at night two days ago, then I saw some capercaillies, I sneaked up on them and suddenly there was a scream, not one I know, very loud and nothing I recognized. I have all the maps and have been playing for several years. The birds flew away, I was startled at first, then I looked around with the night vision binoculars, saw nothing and heard nothing.
This doesn't give me peace 😉 now I'm reading everywhere that you should turn up the sound and music. I always play without music, now I turned on the music and 5 minutes later I hear music, like 5 seconds long, bagpipe music.
Now my question – is the music normal in the game?? I probably never played CotW with music, the music is there when you press pause, at least that's what I thought.
Does the music belong to the game? I just started and walked south to do the mission with the photos and the monster that's supposed to be in the lake.
translate with the translator..
Could be haggis but definitely watch @glacial flame video on YouTube it has the haggis sounds confirmed
i dont have the animal sound,,just a normal bagpipe sound during walking..do others here that to ?
did you hear music during hunting ?
im sure that brutal scream was a warning call..because that scream no animal on Cotw makes..
hello need help again
no i go to outpost and sound again,but a girl sing ,is this sound part of the game ?? because i turn today musik volum on.
i enrty to that haggi club but cant write something..sry my bad englisch
Yes I think so it's part of the outpost music
ahh ok,,so its normal to hear sound on outposts and during hunting?
During hunting maybe but outposts definitely yes
ahh ok...neva play with musik..
The bagpipe call isn't necessary music it definitely sounds more like a call
if you walk around and hear music its normal? was 1km from outpost ..i walk and hear musik
i need to clear something up is the haggias a real huntible animal
Yes
ok i was confused bec i thought they were messing with me
Tactical Meep
i love it
now i hunt for 15 minutes and i hear during walking around every 5minutes a sound ...is that part of the game???? than i make sound off ..
So before I buy Scotland, is the haggis a real hunt? Like a super rare or is it just a meme
yes
He’s real and super rare
Thank you
guys ,is the sound normal during you run on map ?????????????? not on outpost..im bit confused because i make today first time musik on in game
Is piebald red grouse rare?
yes
Oh Wrd I just got one
a worthy addition to the Hall of Small
i have a male fox that score 3 taxed because i like to have shamers in with famers
might have it on a branch opposite from my dime
would be tuff
on one hand I want to have a room of smols but that would involve me having to make a second saseka lodge and I. don't really want to do that
-# we need a new lodge 😭
ive been loving spring creek for my scotland trophies so far
I love spring creek too but there is no where near enough big plaques for class 9's 😭
oh 100% but most of the class 9s are safari animals so they go in saseka
so me spring creek screams older rather wealthy person who hunts almost exclusively europe and north america
Hardly any big platforms or plaques for any decent sized animal tbh
tbh i like the vibes a lot more ngl
the lack of small wall plaques in saseka bothers me more than the lack of big platforms in spring creek
manor is absolutely a fowler's/small game hunter's lodge
You could get maybe 2 trophy fallow in one room in The manor then in Saseka you could fit 40 in a hallway
Ok here is the real question is the haggis already on the map or do you have to do something special to get it to spawn
You ain’t heard of the notoriously deadly votls?
We don't know
I’m 99% sure it will not be on the map Initially and something spawns it in
