The next clue is the dual purpose, not the bottle, I thought maybe the new clue was at the bottom of the big cliff the first clue was above but didn't find anything
Any wells or water pumps on layton
Has anyone checked the rope bridge yet?
Damn
autorun got me
Lol
I checked both railroad exits with no luck
what's the deepest parts of Layton?
I have no idea
the recruit just looked has nothing
Just checked the caves and didn’t see anything
only a collectible inside
I'm going to the very bottom right of the map behind mt leviathan
already looked there is nothing
are they're any other docks on Layton?
I'm going to the place crash now since when a place points its nose to the earth its diving
Did someone follow the train tracks at layton lows?
maybe first clue is a Pilgrim Gourd
I looked in the water in leviathan caves. Empty.
I've followed the train tracks already
I believe that the second clue is in the phrase "dive deeper". Where is the deepest place that humanity knows? Marianas Trench in the Pacific Ocean, Asia.
Where is the deepest pit on Layton
it IS on the border with norway
but in the hole you can't dive
Well you don’t need to dive into water
I expressed myself badly in saying the deepest place we know, I should have said, the place where you can dive deeper.
dive a little deeper.
where
Down under?
Calabash, also known as bottle gourd, white-flowered gourd, long melon, New Guinea bean and Tasmania bean, is a vine grown for its fruit.
new guinea and tasmania are north and south of Australia, very close
this is a weird question but has anyone checked in the outhouses?
because "dive a little deeper"
but seriously tho?
Dive deeper can also be used to tell someone to look into something more
Au would add feral donkeys and include buffalo axis deer, maybe kagas?, ducks, banteng, and rabbit?
and boar, antelope, a few niche deer species
is there seriously gonna be another africa map?
tanzania would be lit
or australia
would be extremely fun imo
Not confirmed yet but it’s pretty solid chance, plus I have an obsession with africa.( not saying I wouldn’t also enjoy Australia)
question: has there been fish in the water before?
yes
yes
ok never really noticed
has anyone checked in the outhouses
go ahead, sounds like a shitty job.
I'm not sorry
That job would give you the shits
So far nothing
Doubt that but could be
i think ur going too deep
well, I found a lot more need zones on Layton looking for this 2nd clue anyway
I hope the end of this clue trail mean they make a better way to dig through your storage. having every gun and dlc makes it a PAIN
And remove the new bigger text it just doesn’t match the other font and looks weird or make a option to change between them
I wonder if the gourd is the place of a new map and the water and "deeper" means maybe a dog coming with the map like a retriever or other water dog that retrieves our ducks and geese? I remember TK saying at one time on stream that the dogs were supposed to release with a map, but they had problems or something so they did it separate. Maybe there will also be a dog with whatever new map we get 🙂
raises my hopes for a map to come with horses.
wonder if you could bow hunt from them
I checked the outhouses nearest the outpost the gourd was in and the outhouse next to it. They all looked fine. Checked the cabin camp and all fine. I checked Kraken rope bridge and the water below it, but not the supports and under the ends oif the bridge itself. Nothing I could see offhand
I like this..."you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink"
Also add elephants...not to shoot, but to ride if it is Asia
I'd rather not the amount of bugs that would cause 😂
honestly. my #1 ask is to lower the damn intro music
it's 500% louder than everything else
didn't they try a few updates back?
It used to blast...now it is just annoying. maybe the updates since have reversed it
i have music set to 30, but it still kills me. idk. I hate to imagine it was even worse before.
when do we expect the next clue
Is the second clue found?
no
i checked all landmarks in layton and nothing ☹️
points of interest?
I went through the Winnipeg caves. Nothing. Looked at the Norden mines. Nothing.
If there was another clue, we would have already found it, I don't think it exists.
Megs post is the clue
Why would we dive deeper to look for 2nd clue. its doen’t make any sense.
I think it means dive deeper in researching the first clue
cryptic clues kinda cryptic who would of guessed 😁
what’s cryptic
Meg stated some have already got it others need to dive deeper . Meaning dive deeper into the meaning of first clue
Someone on Twitter took it literally and dove into the water and saw this
Its a fish
Have there always been fish in the water? -Would be amazing to add fishing to the game!
Yes
Oh ok 🤣
I don't spend much time drowning myself so didnt know :P
Dive deeper means same thing as dig a little deeper
Google dive deeper meaning
i'm almost sure there isn't any other hint that the gourd on LL. Meggles said the hint serve a dual purpose. We have to dive a little deeper for the second clue, i think she meant we have to thing about the gourd a little deeper, not that there is another clue to found on the map.
@candid dock i think you are 100%correct
Maybe the purpose of a water gourd canteen.... like dig deeper in the ground for water. A desert map.
The S shape of the rope tied to the gourd stands for Sonora desert mexico just a theory
Meggels said :This hint serves a dual purpose, of sorts. I think the gourd gives us a other hint
What is this ?
I've seen this bag in different places and I don't think it's a clue
Oh Ok😂
but it does hang and move with the wind and I thought at the beginning that it is interesting
@rose summit That's been there since Layton came out. Not a clue or anything
I think the post was supposed to say "delve a little deeper", but they messed up the saying. The gourd itself might be the map's location hint and the water might be that we get a retriever with the map?
It might be
Clues usually hint at a place on earth not a country
I don't think any other map or DLC release has had more than one physical clue on LL
interesting
I think it's too Early for retriever... They want to rework duck mechanic (survey)
I already checked the pictures that they realsed with the new clue but there was nothing
Will they give it away if the clue isnt found in like 2 weeks?
Like what the clue is i mean
Maybe we have to check the coding of the game or a tweet or something like they do in other games
i think they will reveal in the next 2 weeks yes
They don't release dlc if we don't found all clues 😋
Lmao
hahahah then we're in BIIIG trouble 🙂
Nah they obviously will release it
Like silver ridge peaks clue hinted at rocky mountains not north America
Do you really think they wouldnt release a map they coded and designed and animals they also coded, modeled, rigged and animated?
Lol
Has someone checked Hirschfelden for clues
Just clarifying that they will 100% release it before a convo about it gets outta hand lol
You never know
Maybe they want to trick us
They will release it in time for the end of their financial quarter and fiscal year
Is the one from the clue the African wine Kettle?
Chinese bottle
Ah
Well
F
Nice find
Ngl it looks more like the African wine Kettle to me
But perhaps that's just wishful thinking
I think your right
Its definitely the african one
Definitely the african one. Plus many more people voted for an African map in their survey rather than a Chinese map
But there are pines on picture... No pines on Africa lol😋
Get out 
Lots of people voted for Australia to but we didn't get that
Australia isnt that intresting imo
It makes sense, as you would have more animals to hunt in Africa rather than Australia
You do not get big mammals in Australia
I'm not against africa
Guys what is that i found it at the shooting range on Hirschfelden
That was the cautro clue
Water buffalo, red deer and saltwater crocodiles are the biggest aussie fellas iirc
Oh mammals
Yeah than its just reds and beef
Calling TK (700-675-784) to reveal it, we all agree that clues are African Map 😆
2 are already in the game and they arnt gonna add crocodiles bc they would have to program it under water
Which are copies
Just use duck code, change the hitbox and let them fly underwater instead of in the air and boom

It's not that ez sadly
Yeah i know its a shame
They can keep them on land too
Also we can all agree that manu is on a different planet right
Lol... I'm french
Agreed
Then zones wouldnt be a thing with them
it's complicated
U cant have a croc going a mile inland
Unless its a cuban croc
Cuban crocs are quite terrestrial compared to other species
If they ever decide to make water physics in the game then maybe it's possible
Yeah
they wouldn't go a mile. They do rest on shore in Africa. If threatened, they then dive into the water
I can see them doing it in like 3 years
Ik they will never add them, but it is a fun idea 🙂
Yes
Indeed
Nile crocodiles can get huge too
There was one shot at Lake Chamo not long ago
That was 5.8m long
And about 1 ton
Holy
Ever since the first Africa came out...i've wanted crocs lol
Ever since the first Africa I've wanted greater kudu
elund too
Greater Kudu are amazing
Yeah and giant eland are too
Heaps of people request another white tail map so my guess is sonara desert just a guess
I really hope it's another african reserve with impala sybal and greater kudu
Giant elands have the biggest horns of all elands
waterbuck and a few more antelope species would be nice
I am almost 95% sure now
Ever Since the first Africa Map i want... No more bugs on game...
Bugs are in every game no games perfect
gl on that
Like if that question was on a exam id happily write Africa lmao
Watch them do a curve ball and it ends up being in Iceland 0r somewhere dumb af
Lol
I still hold out hope on an Aussie map, but it will unfortunately never happen sadly...
It probably will
It should happen at somepoint yeah
if not yet, then no
Perhaps in 1 or 1.5 years
It honestly could be the map for December-janurary
Perhaps
It would most likely go Africa>Asia>Mexico> desert southwest like Texas>Africa again>new game
And why not a primal Map (clues make sensé) ? A lot of players want it...
Does anybody know what were the top picks on the survey that asked us about deserts, swamps,forests etc
No clue
They honestly just need to add to the Africa map they already have 🙂
Primitive gourd, deeper in time...
I would assume desert would be number 1
That's what I thought people hate bushes
Anyways I'm off to bed the sun just came up GL on the clue
We'll hear Tuesday 🙂
What mean GL ?
good luck
Ty
ofcourse
What mean Ty
the yuck
Lol
🙂
🤣
tc
Now i want to learn french thank you lmao
10mins ago... Probably the new map! https://www.reddit.com/r/theHunter/comments/nj5j3j/new_map_saseka_safari/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
Saseka is trophy lodge
ahaahah
That’s the trophy lodge my dude
Not that a chinese map would likely happen
It COULD happen, but not likely
Iirc hunting there is regulated as fuck
People just want an easier map for great ones
They dont care about the rest of such a maps roster
Not even easier. People just want another map with wt in general.
I'd disagree with that overall, given how Layton and Hirsch are... a bit more of a pain to hunt on than on more recent maps
Hell, since the NZ map came along people I know seem to be getting a lot more diamond fallows
ehh a bit disagree with Layton. That's pretty easy map with the river run. Hirsch is a lot more dense than other maps so that's true, which also sets it apart.
Me personally... I think any american maps outside of the arctic or Texas would be horrible letdowns in terms of animal rosters
Mostly because we'd see maybe... 1-2 actual new animals tops
Yee they haven't made another wt map so far because it haven't make sense otherwise
And Im sick and tired of turkeys
The game has just been getting easier in terms of animal rarity in general too
The only rare stuff now are some very specific rares and great ones
But no matter what's the new content, I hope it's as bug free as possible.
To be fair a lot of people are also serverhoppers
Sort of artificially inflates the number of rare trophies you see posted
Animal might be rare on your server, but hop around enough servers and youre bound to find something someone missed
The only rare rares are stuff like mela euro bison, beeno lions and stuff of about the same rarity
Yeah
But as i said
Even if you purely hunt for respawns
I've met people who claimed albino lions were common lol
I have never seen a single one and Vurhongas my most hunted map
BUT.
I also dont server hop because I see it as semi-exploity
It's funny how this is a clues channel and you guys are talking about animals that you don't like or maps you don't like
It jumps all over the place really
Atm all we have is the gourds
Which likely hints at a new map
Some of us want more africa, some want more australia, others want more america
Discussions like this following that are inevitable
Some just want phasants
Can someone teach me and my friend how to efficently hunt animal. We play on PC in EU. Pls contact me if you can help!!
Hirschfelden
Im thinking Colinas
Or/and cuadro
Aye
Maybe both ?)
Hirsch has its canadian goose so dunno
I had 3 so far but tbf i did grind lions so
Also yeah Vurhonga is my most hunted too
Probs 40% of my diamonds are just vurhonga alone
the gourd being a quite primitive tool, maybe the second part of the clue is hinting to some prehistoric safari ? mammoths would be less controversial to hunt than elephants, and many big animals could be added ?
anyone discovered anything?
no
@candid dock .... no
Honestly the only kind of mal i am waiting for is either Himalayas or Central Asia.
I’m on the search for the second clue in Layton lakes
There is no second clue folks... The meaning of the dive deeper is something diff. Meggles was misleading us...
very doubtful. pretty sure past maps have had 2 clues
nothing to search bro
was that window broken/fixed before the clue?
Oh wait
If it wasnt
@granite pulsar Every map had only ONE in game clue yet
What direction was the broken window in?
Like north, south, west, east
The dive deeper thing just means we have to get more informations about the Gourd. We need to dive deeper in our thoughts. We need to match things together
And not to search a clue which isn’t there
Well someone posted a chart today
We checked everything on layton and we found nothing
@midnight moon Can you send it ?
@midnight moon
Indicates Africa
Yeah that’s old
Still holds up though
They almost always make the figures of speech literal in clues, I’m guessing this is your first time clue hunting
Wine regions in Africa?
Technically, those are used to this day, by the Boesman’s in Namibia, so I doubt, and the wine regions in Africa consist basically only of the South African Cape, which kinda limits what the devs could put on a map
Fair enough, worth a shot
Guys just believe me. The Map is Tanzania.
Pretty sure it will be around there aswell
Gimme a moment i’ll send a pic of the survey 5 months ago
Look how many africa maps there is
But i think from those 3, Tanzania is the most likely one
I mean, there are the same amount of asian maps on that survey as there are african so not sure if that by itself proves anything
technically more asian than african even
meggles is australian its a westersn aussie map
just as tk got his new zealand kiwi map
Yeah they usually don't do 2 maps back to back in the same area
its a completely different biope though
more desert like
kalahri desert map i could get behind also
could be a north africa map ?
kalahari*
Any new clue?
not to my knowledge
found a nice silver piebald male coyote while traversing layton so thats a win already for me
@gentle shale you wanna hunt desert cheetah and Kalahari elephants
nah , personally i want a australie map or a uk smallgame map
This is what calabash is used for : Mate tea, a popular drink in South America, is consumed with a bombilla made from a calabash.
In Mexico, the tlachiquero, an agricultural worker engaged in collecting agave juice for pulque, uses a long straight calabash (acocote) as a siphon.
In Africa, domestic beers such as dolo in Burkina Faso, pombe in East Africa, and merisa in Sudan are commonly served in half-cup calabashes. This custom is also catching on as a trend in German pubs, where the imported fruit brew is traditionally served in gourds.
In the past, long, hollowed-out bottle gourds were used as skimming vessels for wines and the like.
Among the East African Maasai, calabashes are used to store water, milk and cattle blood, which also serves as food. In their language Maa, they distinguish calabashes with a series of words according to size and purpose: oloti (for milk), esingau, engoti, entipi and emala (mostly for sour milk). The latter is the largest calabash, with a capacity of three to four liters.[1]
Vases
Funnels
storage vessels (high robustness and resistance to salt water)
Wine siphons (e.g. in Austria and Hungary)
Medicine vessels in China
Anyone find the new clue yet🤔
but witht he gould its most likely australie/africa or mexico desert map
i want africa
its pretty obvious at this point the community has exhausted all its recourses and is pretty much just bickering at this point. the chances of us finding this clue are slim to none right now. when will they realize this and either explain the clue to us, or at least give us another hint. cause like i said, at this point we are dead in the water and its kinda just killing the hype
i just took the oppetunity to unlok all the outposts on layton and doing some walks
very good point
I’d hope that they will give us all something else soon
i also think the mount kraken pic is not related to the clue , just the reserve
have the lakes been checked?
if dive deeper refers to the object? And if it is a Pilgrim's Gourd, wouldn't it be logical to follow the path of the settlers on the map? maybe so let's get the other clue
[as in around them of course]
id love if the game had a map editor tool to allow the community make their own maps i remember the half-life modding scene back in the day it was great
not choose the rarity of animals off course je what animals and the biome
but then people could just make a super flat super open map
Has anyone checked the caves in the vurgona savanna?
or the uranium mine in srp?
the clues wont be on any other map than the base two, cause then it wouldn’t be fair to those who couldn’t buy it
Totally correct!
Okay well did anyone check the caves on hirschfelden
most likely not going to be hirsch cause why would they put a layton picture
there isnt per chance like a bungee jup spot on the map , like dive deep
i’ve never seen it before, but i ain’t seen a lot of shut
old
Thought as much
there are 3 more not far from there
Is that on layton or hirsch?
ITS OLD
Can't disagree
Yep, I honestly don't even want to set foot on Layton any time soon... fk this map
@.@ Hopefully we get either another clue or point in the right direction today lol
think we will get another or maybe something more substantial
Do not thing you get anything at this point on Sundays!
???
Ok I get you now
I think most likely it would be Tuesday and something said in a stream maybe
^^
any new clue?
Nope
Lol
me too 😮
Trophy lodge hint from ages ago
And its still there?
Not some where I would put my chair
Yeah lol
where?
Is that at mnt Kraken?
It’s a hint for the Weapon dlc 4
Also I checked the willipeg caves
Nothing
At this Point there is no more stuff to do we all are kinda dead and the chances to find something are nearly 0% We checked everything on layton and there was just nothing
Meggles just tell us something
I start to believe that this is a bad easter egg campaign by the developers...
lol, this "clue" was supposed to generate hype and ended up frustrating the community
No i do think there is no second clue....
They are misleading us
Trying to build hype when nothing is there
My assumption: --- Nothing will happen before the weekly stream on tuesday 25th.
We might get a lil information tomorrow on insta and twitter
Tuesday they won’t tell anything and friday the teaser trailer on yt
maybe next clue is lvl9 female red fox 🤔 all we have to do is find her 😥
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKSwk14Hf30 listen at 5 seconds the noise that I recorded on my video never heard on Layton Lake !!!
normal sounds
no
https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ i got some weird sounds too...
imbécil
i think you are on to something.
I got an ad it saved me
its grazy already😄

hopefully they point us in the right direction tomorrow
that's cool
I am fully expecting Africa, most likely Tanzania, but i wont be going crazy over searching a hint to check if i am right or not when it's gonna be out soon anyway.
But i do get why people enjoy the chase
If it is africa do you guys think we will get a larger caliber double like a .600 or .700 or more along the lines of a .416 or .458 bolt
I do like that they make us find it I think that’s cool but this level is just bad
Since they likely wont add elephants or rhinos i could only see larger calibers if they added hippos
Which i am hoping for but i also fully expect for it not to be the case
Yeah I would love for them to eventually add all of the big five
almost sounds like some sort of duck to me
its barely there tho
could be normal
it didnt sound like a mallard to me tho at the same time
but idk i still assume the clue is to do with meggles post
Idk sounded like a nile crocodile to me
If anything we'll see leopards but that'll be it.
All three species of elephant are endangered, and they previously stated that endangered animals won't be in the game.
Yet lions are
I hate that they wont add endangered animals
But this isnt the right chat fot this topic
me too. its dumb
like some african tribe with spears that poches is gonna play this game and encourage poaching there lol
and are already hunted IRL to help conservation of them
Honestly it’s a game and meant to be hunts that can’t be done for the average guy, I’m all for local hunts in America and Europe however a lot of people love the exotic animals that they may never hunt irl
I will just say there are technically far more controversal game genres and if endangered species should be hunted anywhere it should be in a game
poaching is also considered shooting more than the tags you are allowed to hunt of any species regardless and night hunting is also illegal in 99% of places for deer and other animals
African Safari 3d Trophy Hunter had elephants in it, and I've gotta say - it was pretty fun
I wouldn't mind seeing them in COTW
Has anyone found the spot where the pic Meg linked is? I did a little searching last night but didn't see anything new
Yeah, and I’m sure people on COTW don’t take only one deer a day when season is around lol. Its a good example that it’s a game, taking fun over realism at key parts
exactly.
and other games are adding elephants not gonna say which because dont wanna make anyone mad, but its just a fact that it will make almost 0 difference
thats all i have to say about that topic.
What other games do isn't going to really affect EW's decisions.
Yeah I know it’s a big struggle for the devs cause they don’t want the backlash from the public who don’t even play the game for adding elephants, much less a small portion it’s own people. But I hope they weigh the wants of the community for big game more important that backlash of people who don’t even know a single thing about the game
Tbh
We dont even get a fine for shooting a animal in all 4 knees
With a too high caliber gun
Talk about ethics
^^
That article: “We will never add fox hunting” COTW: adds fox hunting
I think they meant that in terms of using multiple dogs to chase down animals
Also not hunting lions in that article xD
And don’t get me started on night vision scopes on public land to white tail hunt, that’s allowed but irl you are in a world of hurt if you do that
"Fox Hunt" is differento to hunt foxes..
Fox Hunt is a way of hunting with horses and dogs that destroy their prey
That can be attributed to the fact that review bombers hit Vurhonga hard.
Oops didn’t mean to reply to that comment
In COTW you can run around and shoot literally 500 animals a day with non lethal shots and get no penalty i just dont see the ethics point
I'm looking atm, found a moose instead
^^ lets get off that topic even though these things are true
And not a single idea came up about the clue
Exactly
yeah its not going to be found
I still don't think it's another visual clue
Just use the first clue and dive deeper into the meaning of it, not that the gourd gives us any good info
the gourd itself is from multiple countries. I want to think there is a very, very, very, VERY low chance we might get 2 maps
Highly doubt that
My current thought is that since it’s a bottle gourd for water, it’s probably hinting at a reserve that might have a lot of wetlands or something like that
And wouldnt want that honestly
There hasnt been a single map release without total bug chaos
Imagine 2 maps at once
No
Please dont
I don't think there will be 2 maps, not this soon
jw has anyone tried looking inside the gourd? in the bottom
oh wait duh
and no markings
forgot it still had the cork
yeah
Afaik it's a African wine Kettle though
not sure tbh, I don't think so but never checked it
I shot him about 1500 times, nothing inside xD
My prediction, which may change depending on what happens in the future, is an African wetlands reserve, with either Hippos or Crocs. I know it’s complicated to add them, but I think one of them would work as a reserve mascot of sorts.
imagine how buggy the AI would be
theyd screw it over
exactly lol
But i would be scared they would screw crocs yeah
My standards for crocs are very high tbf
EW can't even make a good pair of antlers, much less a reliable water + land animal with unusualy life patterns
plus theyd have to make new anatomy, which they dont like
Yeah crocs would be hard to pull off
the mechanic of diving is already applied in rabbits, it can also be applied to beavers or crocodiles
The crocs would have to be 100% anatomically perfect or i would get a stroke
it would be resized mammal anatomy
100%
Especially hard because they have so much visual change as they grow
but just laying down lol
Like a 3m nile croc DOESNT look like a 5m+ nile croc at all
And there is also geographical in-species variation with nile crocs
That is on another level
well 6ft is a big difference
Yes but it's not just upscaled
also they dont like having different animal sizes
tl:dr EW is way to lazy to attempt crocodiles, much less make them good
They have a whole different look
Their head gets really gnarly and stuff
And the osteoderms and scales in general much more robust
Tbh
I dont want crocs in cotw
I know i would hate them
Because they couldnt reach my expectations most likely
Not even the PZ salties did
Hippos would probs be much easier for them to pull off visually
Not easy perse
But easier for sure
There is just too much detail with crocs
Other animals I could see in a wetlands map would be waterbuck, returning warthog, MAYBE hyena or leopard, impala, and maybe egyptian geese.
could do without reptiles in general. don't need nope ropes 🐍 . don't need spiky jump scares 🐊
the two previous surveys were about ducks and the other dogs ...
I don't understand why everyone keeps hinting that Africa is coming xD
Lol
The main thing about crocs would be the trophies
But again
There is sooooo much they can mess up with crocs
For example their head length to total length ratio increases as they get bigger
people actually hunt crocs tho and is something thats actually pretty well requested
The standard is 1:7
yes theres alot that could bug out tho
And the biggest recorded HL:TL ratios are about 1:8.8 to 1:9.2
Yes
another goose map would be so cool
what I'd like to see on Africa #2: leopards, hyenas, some new antelopes, maybe a new duck
or goose
there are quite a few waterfowl in Africa
Yes this
Giant elands
And greater kudu
Black wildebeest as a blue wildebeest reskin
Black wildebeest are wildly distinct
But geographically more in the Vurhonga area iirc
apparently indian peafowl have been introduced to Africa in some places
I wouldn't care much for them tbh
black wildebeest are amazing, i love them so much more than the blues, it’d be cool to see them in cotw
guinea fowl in real life suck, they never shut up
i used to own a couple
tasty tho
My View Of Africa 2. - Class 1 - Baboons Idk Anything Else Class 2 - Caracal Class 3 - Impala Class 4 - Greater Kudu, Sable Antelope, Class 5 - Black Wildebeest, Class 6 - Zebra Class 9 Hippo, Cape Buffalo With Truhorns - Class 10 Special Great One Rouge Elephant That Needs To Be Put Down.
Something around that
with peafowl they'd probably just have to tweak the existing turkey model
more clues, less africa...
The clue is too vague.
people have literally checked all over Layton at this point with nothing to show
Baboon as a class 1 animal? Monkey that grow up to 35 kg? Good luck hunting them with Virant .22 😆
A duck or goose
Vurhonga's already south/southeast Africa
theres still like 80 more species they can add
guess that would get in the way
either way it'd probably be more north/northwest
yea ill look around for species up there
@uneven bloom
alot less species thats for sure up north
ah
...ngl that map needs to get tweaked when it comes to Parque
Patagonia's further south
mabye we wont get another africa then cause up north theres just not enough species
But yeah, doubt they'd add a single elephant. I get you, but it'd be a waste of time and resources
Plenty up north as well
Greater kudu do range up as far as to the horn for example
Whats ironic is that Vurhonga on that map is nowhere near the lesser kudu's range lol
leopard and hyenas are up north
I'd assume that if they were to add more to the map they'd shuffle around the icons a bit
jackals and gemsbok might be repeaters
mabye make them smaller to fit more
i really want them to add sable
mabye some impala
those two probably won't happen on grounds of how animals don't actually touch water in the game
yea they would have to rework the water
and the water might be an engine limitation
tbh might be best to stop using this channel for now, at least until we get a pointer on where the clue is
hey guys, i just realised that if they said that we have to dive a bit deeper for the next clue
i remembered that i found this a while back on te awaroa
would that mean anything?
it wouldn't be on Te Awaroa because that's a paid map
ah
That's the name of one of the EW staff. Nothing clue related.
yeah thats a devs name
Lmao what a legend
Anyone found anything yet?
Nothing
Damn where did the devs hide this thing
In the long underground cave/tunnel on the NZ map. About half way up on the right ( roughly, going from memory lol )
I'm pretty sure that person was referring to Clue #2
Layton has been searched very thoroughly at this point
That's been there
Old clue or new one
it was for a weapon pack
Ah OK
is posible a sound clue?
wouldn't really match with the whole "dive deeper" thing
Can't do that without hacking.
or glitch exploiting
and I sincerely doubt the devs would be trying to encourage that
They practically do with 0 anti cheat
I am still not convinced that the "dive deeper" means any more than for us to investigate harder
West Africa
We still haven’t found it?
no
Lmao
has anyone looked at the flags?
I gave up tryna find the clue
i think everyone did lol
Lol that kid on the bike is how I feel tryna find it 😭😂
If u ant ever cried like that ur lieing 😂
Everyone has cried like that🤣
pretty amazing he popped back up like that
what is the clues
I'm just gonna wait till Tuesday
They will either release a reveal stream for it or a third clue
Idk
But with this one balance has been broken
Usually people find it easy
But this time it's hard
TeAwora has been great for starting a new character and fast leveling though. So Tuesday is the next clue reveal /map reveal or the weekend?
we will prolly get a short video or an image tuesday
Most likely
like a 15 sec vid max
although with maps it seems to be a picture of an animal
actually now that i think about it its about 50/50
Just a stab in the dark with maybe a play on words but the title of the image was cotw_h1fb_tw_realese_photo. Now it could just be a typo but in most places I know, we spell release like this not the other way. So, could it be the "Real Ese". Like our Mexican homies? Far stretch but you know our buddies in tequila town are known for their gourds too. 💯
I thought about this, but if you go back to previous pictures posted for other DLCs the same wrong spelling for "release" is there...
They just straight up trolled us..we've been played. I gave up and it just killed a bit of the hype for me.
@stuck basin wdym trolled
Probably a red herring
Wait what was the clue for the awaroa maybe we can take a look at other clues and try to figure it out , or clues from other maps
Confusion and anger
What happened?
The clue is too vague for anyone to figure out.
@earnest remnant it was a QR code in hirch that lead to a scavenger hunt of hints that got hacked and leaked
Guys who want me to buy them the new map when it releases
Dm me if so
Got $20 on steam
Huh we have no clue if it’s even a map all we have to go on is a oddly shaped water bottle and a clue no one can decrypt
It’ll definitely be a map
Trust
We always get a map in Jin
June
And the clues are mostly the same
Each time
The devs did say tho that they were going to cut down on the dlc content this year in favour of bug fixes
Not that they have actually fix any bugs yet
I guess s
So
Btw my mountain lion grind is finally over and after killing 60+ of them I finally got my diamond
Thank you!
Do you think HCOTW will die after ultimate hunting is released or do u think HCOTW will make an insane comeback
COTW better make a comeback
yeah
Unfortunately no I don’t think it will get better just look at this clue the community has largely lost interest after two days where before the hype surrounding new content clues was enormous
Ultimate fishing is pretty meh. Wouldn't count on it giving COTW any real competition
No, I think it’s not gonna kill COTW, and COTW isn’t going to beat it either, there both hunting games and most likely both will have there own bits that people like. Me personally I look forward to having both in my library, when I get tired of one I’ll go hang out on the other for a different experience
That’s a good way to think of it
spent all day diving into water just to see fishys
A clue shouldn’t be this hard to find
Lol
was cotw est 2003?
The company was founded in 2003
No lol
I thought of that too
thought it might be EAST 2003, doesnt give me the other number to pin point
The company was founded in 2003 we already went over this last night with some other people
Maybe we can find the coordinates for the hint somewhere
i'm looking at all the outhouses i come across on layton. nothing worth mentioning there yet
2003 in reverse is 3002, therefore the new map will be futuristic.
think big brain style
we get lazer guns with the new map
im confirmed its LL
but you won't have anything to shoot at as there is no animal left
You guys are going to fry your brains before we find out what the clue is for
I think pqrt of the problem is a mix of the gourd being too vague, having too many different connections to cultures all around the globe, along with newer players or players who haven't clue hunted before stumbling across older clues which will confuse them
Yeah and then theres the peopel that think every little thing is the clue
My final thing to say is: All of us are kinda dead.. We all searched our asses of and found nothing. Every corner in layton has been checked NOTHING. We should stop. There is no second clue. As you guys now EW they are prob misleading us. We are just wasting our energy into nothing. Just wait a bit the map should be released in about 28-30 days and the teaser trailer will hopefully be out on friday.
You are right. The clues have always been easy enough that they give a few possibilities right away and vague enough that we can't be sure what it really is.
I honestly think we need to check hirch
someone said ultimate hunting would beat or kill COTW, dudes we haven't even seen gameplay from that game, to me so far it looks like hunting simulator 2...and unless they really add missions and what COTW has, it will be just another abandoned hunting game, hunting simulator 2 is dead as well as the first game, they really need to step up their game if they want to even be 50% match for COTW
i think it would be best if they complement each other
It is not easy to complement each other. They use two different engines. I agree with Atthan.. that it will be impossible to go live with a hunting simulator(not game -- please) that match several years of development and patching - as with COTW. That is impossible ant wishfull thinking. BR
What have engines anything to do with complementing each other?
Do you know what the best business move would be for cotw rn ? exactleyTo give us the Clue now.
Watched a few streamers over the weekend, most think its gonna be something safari related or asia
the gourd is more popular in asian culture to be honest, and we never had any maps in there
Personally I'd wish for another africa map, but its likely they'll add another map with a similar biome
im sick of the typical forest biomes i want a rocky desert biome
What is the clue?
or even a swamp
This was the first clue- it’s a Gourd canteen
I think it will be asian/chinese/mongolian map
Gourds are not used in mongolia
Well the gaurd they used is an african gaurd
thanks, thats interesting
No problem! I’m definitely still thinking Africa or Mexico but no one knows anything for certain yet 😊
How are we all doing? 😄
thirsty for a clue - bad gourd joke lol
Not good lol
hehe its been a fun weekend
Trying to identify the gourd with certainty and been trying to find it on Layton
personally: very good
in regards to clues: god awful
Yeah
Found out that the gourd might be a African wine Kettle
But other than that
Nothing new
a gourd is a lil too vague imho due to it being, ya know, used everywhere
I have been out of the clue planning this time, but I am loving that you are all still so hooked into it 🙂 What do you know so far?
So far just the gourd, and it having more than 1 meaning?
also probably "digging deeper"
We pretty much narrowed it down to Africa/Asia/Mexico
My personal guess would be a African Tanzania map
^our narrowing is "half of the world" lol
:P
Lmao
there WAS someone who believed they found an audio clue
for groose? or something
but im unsure, i think it was too indecisive leaning on: most likely nothing?
Nah that was a rickroll iirc
They linked a vid
And that was a rickroll if i remember correctly
Although i wasnt here all the time
no there was one with no rickroll?
im still syaing it an australia desert map
what would we have out in the bush?
Wait really?
Interesting. At least you have some places narrowed down...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKSwk14Hf30 from @midnight moon
it does also kidna sound like a kookaburra
It aint, unfortunately
At this point Im pretty sure the last tweet was just a "theres a clue out there for those who havent seen it" lol
Regardless.
If we're getting any news its likely tomorrow
"Standard" day for those
tomorrow nofin will happen... you know EW they won’t say anything but ok friday we will get the teaser trailer
Pure agony
Cant it be narrowed down to atleast 2 continents? XD
yeah
Idk man... They would hype the clue sooo much up if they tell us on which continents the map is.. Or what Letter in that country is
For example they could say : The region has the letter a. Than we could think tanzania or Australia
things like that would generate so much hype BUT no EW decides to say nothing
A wouldnt help tbh lmao
Still i’d generate hype
Asia, Australia, Africa there would still be about the same amount
True
But
Giving us 2 potential continents would atleast narrow it down a little
Like say they said its either in Asia or Africa or something
Yeah idk why thy make it sooooo secret
Kangaroos, dingo,camels,wild boar, 5 maybe 6 deer species, crocodiles, emu
Water buffalo 🙂
banteng
Please Meggles give us a little tip today
We beg you
Have mercy
🥺🙂
Meg can only give what devs tell her she can give
My guess sonara desert
dingos, camels, emus and crocs would be fab
How are people doing the money glitch?
I keep hearing about it
What are they talking about? Is it for real?
I think they would mess up crocs soooooo badly
I am too scared of what would happen to want them anymore lol
No game ever managed to make accurate crocs
Literally not a single one
Red dead has a pretty decent base idea when it comes to alligators, add in them regularly moving around on there own to need zones and you would have a decent base mechanic for crocs and gators
Oh and make them run away a bit more for balance purpose is important
I havent played RDR so i cant say much about the behavior but ive seen the models and they are far from nailed
The best crocodilian design in any game ever is probably Planet Zoo's dwarf caiman
And even that isnt perfect
Oh yeah? I was thinking more along the lines of games you can’t hunt the animals, I don’t play many zoo games. I’ll have to check out a video of them
Yeah they look pretty decent
But crocodilians just need so much detail
There are a couple of things most games have messed up insanely bad with crocs
And the biggest problem in cotw would probably be the way they age
And how different they look at different sizes
Have you ever seen Lolong the 6.17m saltie from the Philippines or those from Bhitarkanika that are over 6 metres?
They look nothing like a 4m saltie
Has anyone checked by that cave in Layton lakes? Maybe dive could mean cave diving? I'm working now so can't check
I think 10 people did by now?
I think the map is in Africa, like Tanzania or some swamp of the Zambia
I don't think they introduced the elephant, first they need to create a trophy lodge for the elephants trophy mount, the actual lodges are too small. So I think they introduce hippo or crocodile
Are you sure?
Yep
Africa would be way more feral and weird
How do you know that is in Asia?
Yes but this is a game lol
Hahahahaha
They will probably add most main animals
Not in some regions
If it were that nice and simple
They wont add anything that's illegal to hunt
Because they wanna keep "ethics"
Which is stupid
But eh
Gotta accept that
Just like every other map they will include the main animals and guns to go with the map so people will pay there extra 5$ for the gun pack and then they will do some treaking after everyone rapes the map with there 338’s and 30-6’s lmao
If they keep going on this way, ultimate hunting will probably defeat cotw
Nah
UH wont be as big
The creator himself said it gets overhyped
Also the ethics thing makes to sense because you can literally run around and make non fatal wounds on 500 animals with improper ammo without getting punished
But well
What can you do
Yes but it's stupid
I repeat, if they keep going on this way, ultimate hunting will be probably defeat cotw. Because ultimate hunting broke the ethics
UH will probs be similar HS and wont bring much contest
And, if you think at that, today the elephant are still hunted, also some species of rhino. So, if they go on the realistic and ethical way, put these fucking animals.
From the hunter classic to cotw, the players never see some very very big game, like elephant, hippo or rhino. Always medium or great game, or small animals. They could evolve the game with the big game hunting
i feel The Isle managed to make decent croc liek creatures 0: the crocs in Planet zoo dont look too bad either
The Isle made deinosuchus, it is decent but the anatomy and ESPECIALLY the placement of osteoderms is kinda off
aright! 0: i am not well versed in croc anatomy ij ust tohught they looked good ^^;
not trying to be an arse :P
Do y’all know how to do the money glitch? Is it real?
The saltwater crocodile in PZ has issues with osteoderms and lacks proper growth change specifically in the tail and head. A big problem with game crocs is the aging and anatomical changes that result when they get bigger
Their gharial is passable but the flow from snout to the rest of the skull is too steep iirc
How can I get money fast ?? I spent all my money in the 338 and I have nothing but shotgun ammo
TBF Planet zoo's growth of animals is fairly garbage overall, plus no real "baby" stage
Also the coloration of both saltie and gharial lacks change and diversity
Yeah
Tbh my standards for crocodiles are just too high since ive been really invested in researching about them
I don't wanna go off topic here too much but I will say the game Haaaas improved the colour diverity more, however the game still has a long way to go
i understand Derp! I'm the same w/ tarantulas
Yeah can be a pain at times
No it doesnt
Just got onto the croc rail again sorry
knowing so much and seeing things inaccurate sucks 😢 lol
||dont get me STARTED on the fucking exhibit animals on planet zoo, half of the animals kept in the exhibits owuld need an acutal large habitat SMH||
Oh yeah
on relation to crocs, it would be nice to see CotW try however
hunting them would be incredibly difficult
the croc chat was related, as the potential clue pointed to a possible location w/ crocs
but we went bit off topic
onto the actual topic
how well has hirch been looked at for a potential clue?
Keep this to the channel subject. Clue chat only. If the ideas have run out, take the chat to the appropriate channel. Thanks
sorry bout that,
I could try check near the lake in hirch? Maybe something there?
anything new?
No
I'm guessing none of us are gonna find it,something will be said on Tuesday
Even if we guess the right answer they won't tell you that your right.
Yeah
I just hope it's Africa since the gourd is a African wine Kettle
But cant be 100% sure either
Where ever it is i just hope for lots of new animals
Yeah
Its like playing a quiz game show and no one wins because they don't tell anyone who got the right or wrong answers
Hi!
Any new clue?
no
Imo we have been stumbling in the dark long enough now
They could atleast give us something to make less vague deductions on
Does the ? mark on Layton in the clue mean we should question if the next clue is even on Layton
I doubt they will make it that tricky
Why would they
They never did
Because they like to fuck with our minds
Sounds a little sadistic
But eh perhaps
Some people get off on being sadistic
I'm more curious for them to unveil what the clue was than for the map itself.. but the hype probably died on Saturday
I strongly doubt that the dev team interacts as a sort of sadist cult lmao
Maybe the rope on the gourd looks like an S for sadistic
Hmm
Definitely
Meggles is sus
for not telling us
us sus
Raise your hand if you don't care about a new map and can't even use all your current maps 👋
I never had bugs
