Nuh uh

[carmine hearth]

Ah I didn’t see the monitor is a duplicate

[cyan knot]

well 3 fur types

[carmine hearth]

Has to be at least one rare

Well one of those could be a rare

[dense lake]

I think furry tawny is common

[cyan knot]

the bald one better look bald in the lodge

[solemn estuary]

WAIT

OBJECTION

[dense lake]

OVERRULED

[solemn estuary]

One is supposed @ruby mason, HOWEVER it was posted in here first

BUT

[dense lake]

BUT that isnt Alpha's account name

[solemn estuary]

And came from offical first

[spring fiber]

This is the same one as above

[solemn estuary]

So alpha must of been trolling

[solemn estuary]

No duh brotato

We’re talking about the origin

[fast perch]

It's two in the morning and I can't stop reading the discussions about the reality of haggis 😭

[solemn estuary]

I’m not that stupid😭

[carmine hearth]

Bro they exist

They can’t not exist

[spring fiber]

So far only consoles have got it right?

[carmine hearth]

Would you really believe an old person to be in with the con

[cyan knot]

1 xbox, 1pc and i think 2 PS

[carmine hearth]

I think one pc and 2 ps

[solemn estuary]

@bright crypt Is allegedly the first finder….do you have anything to ad?

[carmine hearth]

No I think it was the guy from Reddit

[solemn estuary]

Oh

[carmine hearth]

But it doesn’t really matter

[dense lake]

He found it yesterday afternoon(for me)

[ruby mason]

Nah

[bright crypt]

All I know is look around ur map it could be anywhere

[ruby mason]

I took someone else

[solemn estuary]

This has my prosecutor senses tingling

[ruby mason]

And edited it for a joke

[solemn estuary]

Ah ok, I knew it wasn’t urs because no French lol

[ruby mason]

Lmao

[carmine hearth]

Guy from Reddit is 24hrs+

[carmine hearth]

Banned

[dense lake]

Where did you find it?

[carmine hearth]

Apparently one was posted to Facebook but idk when that was

[solemn estuary]

What’s going on with that deer in the back

[solemn estuary]

Where the second ps

[ruby mason]

@sturdy crow

[cyan knot]

he can’t handle the aura coming off of the haggis

[cyan knot]

it might just be one i’m not sure

[solemn estuary]

Got this image

[ruby mason]

I edited that silver one

[carmine hearth]

Ok guy on Facebook was the first and this is the one they found

[ruby mason]

For it to be as if it was a gold lol

🤭

[solemn estuary]

So we have four confirmed haggis

Here are our four haggis

Furry Tawney have purple eyes
Furry Charrred Cinnamon have green eyes
Crested brown have silver eyes

[dense lake]

I am assuming the walking animation is very basic with not a lot of changes

[solemn estuary]

Kinda weird only one has been shot not walking

[ruby mason]

https://tenor.com/view/patronus-harry-potter-expecto-patronum-luna-lovegood-gif-5542734

[solemn estuary]

The eyes match up

[carmine hearth]

In the 3 it is walking

[ruby mason]

I encant the haggi

[carmine hearth]

Just very slowly

[ruby mason]

It’s on Seamus map now

[solemn estuary]

Yea only one isn’t walking

Like I said

[carmine hearth]

They meant to be fast

So I’m guessing they just increase waddle frequency

[dense lake]

I'll start screen recording if I ever see it

[open willow]

amazing sentence

[marsh jungle]

GUYSSSSS @solemn estuary @open willow @cyan knot

[open willow]

[dense lake]

Source or your banned

[marsh jungle]

Straight from vivi

[dense lake]

Mmhmm

[cyan knot]

that first one is literally a niffler

[dense lake]

TRUE

[marsh jungle]

I'm not a nerd what does this mean

[cyan knot]

it’s a creature from fantastic beasts, the harry potter prequel

[marsh jungle]

OHHHHH

[ruby mason]

https://tenor.com/view/fantastic-beasts-newt-niffler-gif-13048903

[solemn estuary]

@dense lake do we have a identification on the last haggis poster. 1 is Facebook, one is old bruv, one is some rando in the discord, whose the last one?

[dense lake]

Oof I don't remember

[solemn estuary]

I’m sure we’ll have a few more by Sunday

[sturdy crow]

Wasn't mine. I've just been collecting pics of them. These are all the ones I've seen so far.

[craggy onyx]

Haggis truthers rise

[carmine hearth]

Still 3 confirmed

1 from Reddit, 1 from Facebook idk where the 3rd came from

[solemn estuary]

Four

[fallow flame]

Uhhhhh

What

[untold mortar]

This is us

I don't count the one from facebook because the image is terrible

Buuut

Its 1 of them

[carmine hearth]

It exists it has to

[stone dagger]

watching people waste their time is fun

[carmine hearth]

Propaganda

[stray belfry]

You wanted to hide the fact that haggies ste real before the map was even announced. Ant that although its featured in the missions ....

[stone dagger]

Have you even played the missions?

[dense lake]

Mental distress💔

[stray belfry]

I'm on Mission five rn i think

The one after the eagle one

I like a eagle Nest is featured

[inland gull]

You are the evil half of the overlords. Ben is a truther and you are a denier

[stone dagger]

Is ben a truther? idk about that

[carmine hearth]

The haggis better not be limited time

[craggy onyx]

Vivi realizes we know too much too soon and is trying to dissolve our belief 😒

[stone dagger]

If haggis existed I would actually expect more from you all

[stray belfry]

They only show up to scots

So we need viggo to play bagpipes infront of his PC to to get one

[craggy onyx]

Putting my tam on my scottish fold when I get home to summon a SR albino haggis

[untold mortar]

I would bet their spawn is tied to the missions

[stoic warren]

I finished the missions please please gods o haggis show yourself to me 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[solemn estuary]

They in the discord

[untold mortar]

But they no messages before

[cyan knot]

they send the first vid too

[untold mortar]

No alive video, yet

[wide pilot]

I’m gatekeeping

[stoic warren]

☹️

[untold mortar]

Wait till I get you

[cyan knot]

why did you get something?

[wide pilot]

No I just think it’s funny

[carmine hearth]

Extermination

[keen jasper]

i believe.

[cyan knot]

so the "eat your hat" mission's description talks about how the haggis hunt didn't go too well, "maybe it was the bait?". Then the first mission was to harvest a red deer (for bait), what if its similar to a great one grind? Every red deer you kill has a small chance of spawning the haggis?

[keen jasper]

get that tinfoil hat off

they roam the lands freely without restriction

[cyan knot]

we also get a shotgun from that mission with no other explanation

[keen jasper]

i already know it

[keen jasper]

but does it do class 2?

[cyan knot]

they arent on the map im convinced

[cyan knot]

ill check now

[keen jasper]

does not shoot class 2

wait silly me

it does

[open willow]

buckshot

[keen jasper]

sorry guys i only use birdshot ever im a little silly

u know what we need. we need the people who have got them to say where they found them

[carmine hearth]

Yea buckshot is really terrible in shotguns most of the time

The Scottish one isn’t too bad though

[keen jasper]

that way we can hunt in an area

[carmine hearth]

We know where

[cyan knot]

IT HAS A RELOAD SPEED OF 67

THAT HAS TO BE A HINT

[open willow]

oh my god

[carmine hearth]

See we are getting closer, a bot flagged us and one of the overlords was sent to deal with us

[tame flare]

From the bit that has slipped from the tight lipped it's the center area Ceum A Deas

[keen jasper]

oh?

[keen jasper]

wait what happened lol

[cyan knot]

huh?

the thing is, theres just no point hunting for it until someone confirms that A. its real, and B. it is actually possible to find, then guide us in teh right direction. atm nobody really knows what theyre looing for

[carmine hearth]

Mods always appear when the discussion starts rolling, coincidence? I think not

[tame flare]

We'll find a hillock, and walk clockwise or anti-clockwise, as they can only travel in those directions

[eternal perch]

Theres some exceptional work going on here

[karmic cove]

😭 😭

[sweet basin]

getting some overtime in are we Ben?

[cyan knot]

DOES THAT MEAN I AM CLOSE 😭

[keen jasper]

ben go away ur not allowed in here ur just here to laugh at our delusions

[eternal perch]

Lol I won’t be paid for this, I just have fun

[open willow]

bro is in it for the love of the game

[eternal perch]

Look if you were me what would you do

[karmic cove]

Pure dedication

[keen jasper]

[eternal perch]

You have plenty of time it’s not even been like a week

[keen jasper]

[eternal perch]

One day I will reveal all, but for now? Shine on you crazy diamonds

[sweet basin]

pink floyd fan in the wild

[craggy onyx]

Cotw hired paid actors to fw us /joke

[eternal perch]

EW faked the moon landing

[cyan knot]

a difficult question, first i would give this random guy called William McHaggis, a free haggis. idk who he is though

[craggy onyx]

I've always said this

[solid quail]

All I want to know is (assuming they're real), do they respawn? Or have I been running around the past three days trying to find an (alleged) second haggis for no reason.

Is the haggis extinct in the wild, or simply critically endangered?

[eternal perch]

Make sure you stop if you’re not having fun, but no effort is wasted

[solid quail]

Understood. Thank you! 😄

[open willow]

this man speaks in riddles

[cyan knot]

werent you the person who got one

wdym assuming theyre real

[solid quail]

Aye. I'm just playing along.

[cyan knot]

ahh i see

appologies

[solid quail]

Since people are still doubting it

Even with the video

[eternal perch]

They’ll doubt until they have one in their hands

As long as they are being nice

[solid quail]

Too right!

[cyan knot]

its vivis fault, spreading anti-haggis propaganda

[eternal perch]

I want you all to have fun enjoying the hunt together

It’s the whole point of this haha

[keen jasper]

ben do we have to complete all missions to find the haggis

[solid quail]

I for one am loving it!

[keen jasper]

maybe the haggis is the friends we made along the way

[solid quail]

So much fun.

[keen jasper]

https://tenor.com/view/one-piece-one-piece-movie-9-op-movie-9-episode-of-chopper-bloom-in-the-winter-miracle-sakura-gif-7077598223380664660

[cyan knot]

as ive always said, haggis is the friends you made along the way

[eternal perch]

No need for me to spill any beans quite yet

[carmine hearth]

So it exists?

[cyan knot]

ABBA BEANS?

guys its a hint (my tin foil hat)

[keen jasper]

[keen jasper]

u

im going to brush my teeth

farewell haggis hunters

[cyan knot]

beans - food - haggis

[wide pilot]

We’ve lost the plot

😭

[dense lake]

If i were you, I'd leak the truth to your favorite member(me)

[sweet basin]

thanks for giving us scotland (i haven't wanted anything more from video games than i did this)

[untold mortar]

I love the new Cryptid

It really gives the Right vibe

[wide pilot]

The (me) is desperate son 🥺🥀🥀🥀 I’m cri!

[karmic cove]

I wonder if it truly is real. Could there ever be a possibility where we can have the food and the actual animal as options for the trophy. I don’t even know how y’all would do that but the model is so gooood

[wide pilot]

Dw I’d tell you if I knew trust

[untold mortar]

The moment one of us Gets a Haggis its over we know its real

[carmine hearth]

When u getting promoted

So u can give us haggis

[wide pilot]

6 or 7 years

[untold mortar]

The model its perfect, Im waiting till I get one but I will make a feedback post to let them display it like a Critter in my lodge

[dense lake]

We literally love you guys for this

Yall are awesome

[carmine hearth]

Pet haggis

[karmic cove]

There is truly nothing like it in the game and I love the joke with the plate but man that model is top notch!!

[carmine hearth]

As long as it’s actually real 😭

[keen jasper]

no joke this is actually the first ever time ive been properly invested in a games community and the game itself in this way

[untold mortar]

Could be cool a Little Haggis running around the lodge lmao

[wide pilot]

It’s my 6th or 7th

[keen jasper]

guys im going haggis hunting its 1am

[untold mortar]

But Its too much attention to something weird

[karmic cove]

Never too late to hunt Haggis

[wide pilot]

Professional gaslighting

[untold mortar]

I will get you

[keen jasper]

and then i saw the haggis’ face
now im a believer

[wide pilot]

No

[untold mortar]

Look at this adorable thing, Not a singular Thought behind those eyes ever, so kind

So angsty

The model is so unbelievably detailed as well

[carmine hearth]

Yep just can’t wait to put a .470 into it

[untold mortar]

The fact that all 3 high def images we have are in different poses gives me hope

[carmine hearth]

Well it kinda is confirmed to be real we just have no idea how it spawns or how to find it

[untold mortar]

Where was it confirmed?

[keen jasper]

guys fear not me and boba are investigating the hills of Ceum A Tuath as we speak

[untold mortar]

Ben is always so cryptic and Vivi is a Denier

[untold mortar]

I am roaming south of the river

[keen jasper]

we need someone in the midlands

[sweet basin]

has anyone confirmed the time of day in game it appeared

[untold mortar]

Nope

It wasn't at night tho

[cyan knot]

ben said he wouldn’t spoil how to get it

[untold mortar]

Okay

[cyan knot]

and the roles too. haggis denier means those who deny its existence, haggis truther- those who tell the truth that its real

[untold mortar]

Has any of you done all the secondary missions as well?

[cyan knot]

ben also said

wait let me find it

[cyan knot]

this

so i think we might be heading in the right direction

[open willow]

im gonna be finishing mine tonight

or at least trying to

[untold mortar]

So its a secret

Me too

[open willow]

mink/marten with a pistol is evil

[cyan knot]

i have 4 side missions left

[cyan knot]

WHAT

[sweet basin]

try searching at 10:18 (date of Battle of Carham) 13:14 (the date of the Battle of Bannockburn) 14:48 (date of The Battle of Sark) 15:45 (date of Battle of Ancrum Moor) 16:40 (date Battle of Newburn Ford) 17:15 and 17:45 (date of jacobite uprisings)

[cyan knot]

wait is there more than 9?

[sweet basin]

all significant wins over encroaching anglo saxon forces

[open willow]

theres 10 total

think one unlocks after doing one of the others

[cyan knot]

buggerrre

i have 5 atm which means 6 total

with a pistol bro 😭😭

[sweet basin]

its actually pretty easy

[cyan knot]

this is why 2.5% of players actually do missions 💀

[sweet basin]

just sit in a stand and hit em with 22 from 150 out

[carmine hearth]

Scroll up he kinda admits it

[untold mortar]

You guys think after you finish your missions it spawns somewhere in the map and remains there?

[open willow]

lol fair

[cyan knot]

nah mel would have found it by now

[carmine hearth]

One of the people got it after finishing the main story missions but not side missions

[solid quail]

I found mine before I finished all the main missions. I really think it's just a rare random encounter, possibly restricted to the highlands.

[sweet basin]

do you know what hour of ingame time you got it in

[solid quail]

It was midday, but I don't remember the exact time.

[sweet basin]

i will find this alopecia'd haggis if it kills me

[keen jasper]

pinky promise youre not lying? 🤨

[wide pilot]

I am

[solid quail]

I pinky promise! I'm sure someone here will find one soon.

[cyan knot]

did you interact with anything?

more importantly - had you done the eat your hat side mission

[solid quail]

No, I was just walking around the hills.

[keen jasper]

so it was in the north?

[solid quail]

That one I had finished

[cyan knot]

we’re you killing red deer by any chance

[solid quail]

Braidside for me, but it seems to be anywhere

[cyan knot]

just in general

[solid quail]

Nope on the red deer

[cyan knot]

hmm

how many red deer do you think you’d killed at that point

[keen jasper]

police investigation going on here

[cyan knot]

important information guys

if my theory is correct it’s to do with red deer

[solid quail]

Zero. I hadn't been to that part of the map yet.

[keen jasper]

why would it have ANYTHING to do with red deer

[cyan knot]

the eat your hat mission had a quest to kill a red deer

which means stacie hadnt even completed the mission at that point

but i wondered if red deer was to do with it

[solid quail]

I was still in Braidside

At the very beginning of the quests

[cyan knot]

was there a point from the very beginning to the point where you found him where you picked up an item or something like that where the mission didnt require you to do it

[solid quail]

Not that I can remember. This was back on Tuesday before I realized they'd be a big deal, so I didn't pay attention like I should.

I'm looking again now, though! Ben seemed to imply they respawned.

[keen jasper]

question was there tracks?

[solid quail]

I didn't notice any, but I think other people mentioned finding them.

I just spotted it while walking around and glassing the hills.

[keen jasper]

hmm interesting

any sound?

[solid quail]

It never spotted me, but the guy who posted on Reddit said it had a call like a "dying cat"

[keen jasper]

LMAOOOO

[solid quail]

So I think it'd be hard to miss if you hear it

[keen jasper]

i do lowk keep hearing a random sound that sounds like an animal call but sometimes its hard to tell with the ambient animals

[dense lake]

The haggis emoji

Its an unseen angle of a new fur type for haggis

[dense lake]

Lot of dying cat sounds on Torr Na Sithean

[solid quail]

I've never actually heard a dying cat, thankfully, but I can imagine the sound!

[untold mortar]

I just noticed

[solid quail]

They really are having a lot of fun with this

I think it's great. I want more cryptids

Or rare, one-a-map animals

[untold mortar]

I would love so as well like a Thylacine in Emerald coast

[solid quail]

I'

[untold mortar]

But make them secrets each one needs a chain of events to happen before they spawn

[solid quail]

d feel bad shooting that! 😆

[untold mortar]

Super bad lmao

Getting an achievement like in RDR2 "Extinction"

[solid quail]

I'm sure a few survived past their listed extinction date, but I wonder how late.

On Tasmania, not the mainland

[untold mortar]

They could 100% still exist in Tasmania

[solid quail]

I want to believe, I'm just not convinced.

But I wouldn't be surprised if they persisted into the late 20th century

[untold mortar]

Before your Haggis spawned did you have your whole map unlocked? Did you shoot one of every animal in the map?

Anything weird?

[solid quail]

Nope. I started the game following the missions, and was still in Braidside when I saw it. Or right at the beginning of Pinegate, where you first enter while doing the missions. I didn't notice anything weird and I hadn't shot or spotted all the animals yet.

I looked up and it was on a hill feeding.

[karmic cove]

I believe it’s completely random.

[dense lake]

Is the zone still there?

[karmic cove]

Even if there is one on a map at a time I feel like even it spawning is random

[solid quail]

Nope. If there was a zone, it disappeared when I shot it.

[craggy onyx]

Doubt they have zones

[keen jasper]

i keep hearing this sang screeching what the heck someone shut it up

[karmic cove]

Plus if only four confirmed haggis have been seen then it’s gotta be extremely rare and random.

[craggy onyx]

Was wondering if it was a new fur, looked different

[karmic cove]

I feel like even if there was only one on a map at a time there would be more than 4 confirmed sightings

[untold mortar]

I believe one spawns somewhere in the lower part of the map after the "eat your hat" mission they have a territory which they patrol

[craggy onyx]

Maybe but many players dont wander the whole map

[karmic cove]

True

[untold mortar]

I believe it was yours the one that appears to be drinking?

[cyan knot]

GUYS GUYS GUYS

DYING CAT

[craggy onyx]

And let's not forget the codex says they're nocturnal

[cyan knot]

A CAT ATE THE SHEEP

[keen jasper]

plus people hvae been busy gridning boars jve seen so

[cyan knot]

THE EMOJI IS CALLED WEIRD CAT

[keen jasper]

[cyan knot]

[karmic cove]

I mean there is a mission where there is a sheep skeleton

[wide pilot]

It gets tuah point

[cyan knot]

[craggy onyx]

Needa hop on to find haggy but kitty is sleeping so sweetly under my legs 😢

[cyan knot]

kitty?

cat?

my cat theory returns yet again

nova is haggis

[keen jasper]

fake news

[solid quail]

Running clockwise around a hill in Ceum a Deas right now. Will report back, then run around it counter-clockwise

To find the haggis, you've got to be the haggis

[inland gull]

What if there’s like 6-7 haggis’

[dense lake]

Haggis the mighty! Haggis the unerring! Haggis the unassailable! To you we give praise! We are but maggots, writhing in the filth of our own corruption! While you have ascended from the dung of mortality, and now walk among the stars! But you were once food! Aye! And as food, you said, “Let me show you the power of Highland Haggis, born of the North, where my breath is long winter. I breathe now, in royalty, and reshape this land which is mine. I do this for you, Scotland, for I love you.”

Aye, love. Love! Even as food, great Haggis cherished us. For he saw in us, in each of us, the future of Scotland! The future of Earth! And there it is, friends! The ugly truth!

We are the children of Haggis! Haggis is the true god of good! Ascended from flesh, to rule the realm of spirit! The very idea is inconceivable to our English overlords! Sharing the heavens with us? With Haggis? Ha! They can barely tolerate our presence on earth! Today, they take away your faith. But what of tomorrow? What then? Do the English take your homes? Your businesses? Your children? Your very lives?

And what does France do? Nothing! Nay, worse than nothing! The French machine enforces the will of the English! Against its own people! So rise up! Rise up, children of Scotland! Rise up, Scotsmen! Embrace the word of mighty Haggis, he who is both food and animal! For we are the children of Haggis! And we shall inherit both the heavens and the earth! And we, not the English or their toadies, will rule Scotland! Forever! Terrible and powerful Haggis! We, your unworthy servants, give praise! For only through your grace and benevolence may we truly reach enlightenment! And deserve our praise you do, for we are one! Ere you ascended and the Eight became Nine, you walked among us, great Haggis, not as creature, but as food! Trust in me, COTW! Trust in the words of Haggiskr! For I am the chosen of Haggis!

[wide pilot]

You know what I know this isn’t ai and I applaud you

[keen jasper]

yea after this im more inclined to believe its an elaborate prank aint no reason for bman to say this 😭😭😭

[wide pilot]

Bman 💔😭😭😭😭

[inland gull]

I’m in a wise mood

[spring fiber]

Haggis truther 10/10

[inland gull]

I am knowledgeable

[wide pilot]

I see

[wide pilot]

What is haggis max weight

[inland gull]

Like 6-7 kgs or sum

[wide pilot]

Very wise

[inland gull]

The way that might actually be right

[open willow]

and try to finish the side missions

[wide pilot]

PLEASE I need it to be

[solemn estuary]

I just dreamed about the Cotw haggis

[spice thicket]

I wonder if you light all the campfires in the houses that will spawn it

Bcs there’s a random one upstairs in the main castle

[keen jasper]

we have concluded it is just on the map cos someone had it after only doing like one or two missions

[spice thicket]

True idrk anymore

[untold mortar]

I will at least play Eat your hat fully

[solemn estuary]

Any new Haggii found?

[keen jasper]

i find it strange all haggii found are all the same score really…

i just hope more are found so we can understand them better thats sll

[untold mortar]

I think they can't be any different

Except mine, mine is lvl 5 Medium and a Diamond

[keen jasper]

i suppose we will have to wait and see

[untold mortar]

[keen jasper]

i lowk hope there isnt rare furs with how rare they are in the first place tbh 😭

[solemn estuary]

I hope they respawn

Haggis lodge

[untold mortar]

I doubt it lmao I don't think you could spawn 2 in the same map

[keen jasper]

someone should check in the bottom right of the map, run about and tell me if u hear a weird screeching noise cos i dont hear it anyhwere else

[keen jasper]

maybe theyre super duper good at hiding

[untold mortar]

I hope we get like snow leopards but just one in the map, that means diamond Haggis are possible

[keen jasper]

itll be interesting to see more about them

i believe

[solemn estuary]

We’re part of something special

[untold mortar]

Ill get my pointer I don't think my Lab is really getting the idea

[keen jasper]

do you suspect they can burrow tho?

[keen jasper]

my pointer kept pointing to non haggis 😒😒😒

[untold mortar]

Or maybe it does cause he hasnt pointed at a single medium animal today

[solemn estuary]

If there’s only one haggis is there no mating call

[untold mortar]

There is but its a sad one

[solemn estuary]

Lonley haggis

[keen jasper]

I WILL PICK THE RUGHT EMOJI

[untold mortar]

Yesterday my Lab tracked exactly the animal I wanted him to track

[solemn estuary]

Hmm?

[untold mortar]

It was amazing the animal was traveling between zones nervous and i was right behind it and I sicked the dog after it and it followed it

[wide pilot]

What about herd management

[solemn estuary]

I’m gonna heard manage haggis

[wide pilot]

Will you

[untold mortar]

[solemn estuary]

https://tenor.com/view/flying-haggis-haggis-pixel-gif-10961955

[wide pilot]

I don’t like this very much

[solemn estuary]

They ruined my girl

She looks unfed

The haggis stole all the food

[untold mortar]

The haggis has to be without a doubt the best Map exclusive feature ever

[carmine hearth]

I don’t know what to be more happy about, the haggis or the seal trend. Truly a great time to be alive

[spring fiber]

Where did you get the giant haggis beauty

[robust yarrow]

I saw it in the middle of nowhere, and I wondered for a long time what it was 😅

[spring fiber]

Welcome to our wild mystery of Scotland lol

It's only i think the 5th one seen?

[robust yarrow]

Seriously, is it really that rare?

[spring fiber]

So far yeah.

[cyan knot]

yep, the 5th confirmed one

first of this fur type too

[spring fiber]

It is a very very special trophy

[cyan knot]

so it’s basically confirmed to be real now

we know 100%

[spring fiber]

Just so rare

1 on a map makes sense honestly

[cyan knot]

i think there just be a way to respawn if furs are involved

[cyan knot]

this is our first gold too which means they can be diamond

[rigid flicker]

Mammoth on medved🫠
There's a literal mammoth graveyard for a reason

[still holly]

Do you have any rough idea where tho?

[cyan knot]

please tell me you clipped it whilst it was alive 🥹🥹

[untold mortar]

God Dang it, AGAIN?

No clip, no map, no info

[untold mortar]

Not to bug you or anything but, if you could, answer some questions:
-What where you doing when you Found it?
-Have you finished the story missions?
-If you haven't which mission are you currently on?
-Can you share a picture of WHERE in the map did you find it?

[keen jasper]

guys i think its just random chance 💔

[untold mortar]

I believe there is one on every map and it might respawn like snow leopard making it the Hardest diamond in game, the rarest animal and the only animal impossible to Grind

My god I was mumbling Haggis poetry in the Shower I might be going insane

[untold mortar]

Was Skyvana Kicked?

[ruby mason]

Nah

[robust yarrow]

It was pure luck 😅
I didn’t even know this existed until now. I was hunting peacefully when I saw this really strange thing through my scope. I haven’t finished the story yet, I’m at the mission (Piper’s Pint).

Really happy to have this in my collection.

[untold mortar]

Is that the second one in that area?

[still holly]

Yup

[untold mortar]

Okay then

Worth checking out

[robust yarrow]

It was moving very calmly. It didn’t notice me even though I was quite noisy, so I was able to approach it easily.

[untold mortar]

You took a picture of it through the hud lmao

[robust yarrow]

yep ... 🥲

[robust yarrow]

If I remember correctly, I think the diamond was at 55 trophy score.

[cyan knot]

3rd

i feel like blonde must be a rare fur too but i could be wrong

[untold mortar]

Looks super albino that thing

Ik it says blonde

[eternal perch]

Well done!

There’s conditions involved in a way that have never been used for an animal before

But im never telling…

Good luck

[untold mortar]

Do I need to claim one of every animal in the map?

Do I need to finish story missions?

[eternal perch]

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🤔

[untold mortar]

@robust yarrow what exactly did you do before finding it?

[still holly]

Knowing this thing is probably on my map and that I just cannot find him is driving me to distraction

[eternal perch]

I mean, if it even exists…

[still holly]

Ben lmao

[untold mortar]

I wouldn't want you telling us anyways

[robust yarrow]

I wasn’t doing anything special, I was just chilling, moving between my different tents to find trophies.

[eternal perch]

Buckle up we still have months of this

[untold mortar]

I hate you are probably right lmao

Flinter is going to find one on stream probably

In a year

[untold mortar]

What about story missions did you do any?

[robust yarrow]

I did the starting missions, but I stopped at Piper’s Pit because it crashes my game (a known bug in the French version).

I did some side quests, but nothing special.

[eternal perch]

If you temporarily switch to English you can progress btw

[robust yarrow]

This thing actually "spawned" right in front of my scope, and I wondered for a few minutes what it was, since I know all the animals available with the DLC.

[eternal perch]

Change back after the mission

[still holly]

Oh wow

[still holly]

Did it leave any tracks?

[robust yarrow]

Yes, I saw this tip, thank you very much 😊

[untold mortar]

Interesting

How long had you been walking around for?

[robust yarrow]

I don’t think so, at least I’m sure I haven’t seen any.

[still holly]

Interesting thank you

[keen jasper]

u aint foolin no one

[eternal perch]

Good job agent Skyvana

[robust yarrow]

I teleported to the tent (you can see on the screen), looked at the top of the mountain, it’s a good spot for Goats (I’ve already gotten a diamond.) , and that’s where I spotted them, A few seconds after i spawned.

[spring fiber]

This is an insane quest for an animal and absolutely amazing because of it hahaha

[spring fiber]

Hmm... where you actively hunting? Or just meandering?

[robust yarrow]

I’d say more like wandering and scouting

[spring fiber]

The fact I probably ran around near this creature at some point in my first 20 hours of play doing missions and scouting is driving me a lil crazy 😂

[still holly]

TELL ME ABOUT IT

I gotta have been near this thing at least 1 time at this point

[spring fiber]

Question! Have you had any sound indicators (like the mating call) but not been able to interact with it? Cause I've had that happen a few times now and its making me suspicious

[still holly]

I don’t think so

[spring fiber]

Hmm... Imma find this creature I swear

[still holly]

We can do it, we shall not be beaten

[keen jasper]

by this do u mean conditions to spawn in general? or just conditions within the map for it to be about?

i think that is useful to know and fair info to give ❤️

[eternal perch]

Spawn in general

[keen jasper]

god damn u ben i hate that 😭😭😭

since ive been so lovely and kind dont u think u should give me a lil hint?

[eternal perch]

I’ll consider giving you hints in a few months lol

Take your time theres no rush

[keen jasper]

omg wait what does it sound like because im getting this!!!! for me im hearing what sounds like a really weird bird screech like very hoarse

[eternal perch]

It has custom sounds

[keen jasper]

there is i need to find it before other people

[eternal perch]

They are very funny

[keen jasper]

funny or like disturbing in a way?

[eternal perch]

Hilarious

[spring fiber]

I've never been able to tell what the sound is which is why I look every time... but then it doesn't lemme see it

[keen jasper]

cos this weird screech is not normal what im hearing 😭😭😭

[spring fiber]

I am trying to pay more attention to it now. I know the last outpost I had it at

[keen jasper]

same mine sounds like a call but doesnt let me, its kinda like the pheasant lil peep noises they make which dont count as calls

it sounds like an animals noise that isnt a call

[keen jasper]

this isnt enough info… is it something where the conditions are pretty easy to do? 🤨🤨🤨

[spring fiber]

iirc, most times I heard it were right after fast travel

[keen jasper]

like if people are getting this early in the map surely it cant hvae too much to it

[keen jasper]

OMG WAIT IVE HAD THAT!!!! maybe just a weird bug then cos sometimes mine shows the sound indicator but doesnt let me select it

[eternal perch]

That’s enough yapping from me

[spring fiber]

YES. But like... I also have never recognized the sound

I know we got some new sounds

[spring fiber]

Have a good weekend!

We're gonna go crazy hunting this haggis down 😂

[keen jasper]

see yeah im wondering if what i hear is smth i dont know like badgers or smth

[keen jasper]

yap some more ur more than welcome ❤️

[untold mortar]

I will not be defeated by Ben(the haggis are inocent bystanders in the conflict)

[still holly]

Tbh at this point I’m gonna just start running up and down the map hoping for a call

Ben says they have a custom sound so

[keen jasper]

i just wish we knew what caused it to spawn because like… until we know we wont know how exactly to get it

[untold mortar]

Thats what Ive been doing i check every area twice

[keen jasper]

i just dont think they have a sound indicator thing

everyone seems to be getting them on hills

[untold mortar]

I haven't picked a single lookout point

[still holly]

But even if I hear it

[untold mortar]

Just to know where Ive been

[still holly]

That’ll do

Also I’ve heard some say they do have tracks and warning calls etc and others say no

[keen jasper]

i remember someone yesterday saying that they didnt get close enough to find out which is frustrating but oh well

[still holly]

Yeah

[keen jasper]

hhhhhh

[still holly]

Afaik someone got one bottom left

[keen jasper]

imagine ur the first CC to get one? thatll be good promo u should record all ur haggis hunting 🤭

[still holly]

lol I’m definitely not going to be at this rate

[keen jasper]

okay wait if ur willing to do a little experimenting for me when ur on…

cos i need to know something

if u run around the bottom left of ur map like around that lodge can u tell me if u ever hear like a weird screeching animal sound? it just sounds quite out of place and i need to know if im crazy or not!

[keen jasper]

no u should.

[still holly]

I’ll let you know

[still holly]

I’ve been hunting for one so hard it just feels like it won’t be me lol

[spring fiber]

I'm waiting for breakfast before I dive in to maybe find it lol

More badger murder to do

[keen jasper]

it WILL be u and i will watch

u should stream it, haggis hunting

[still holly]

I will say one thing- pine marten and hares keep jump scaring me lol

[keen jasper]

please do cos itll be useful lol, specifically around the building like a few hundred meter radius

[keen jasper]

my god their screams lol

[stray belfry]

Ben you and me know that the Persons who posted haggies are just Alternative Accounts of you, vivi,me and the other EW employes

[keen jasper]

ok reporter did join like 2 days ago but the others i saw have been in here a year +

[stray belfry]

A good prank takes time to plan

[still holly]

The scream I will make if I hear or see one at this rate..

[keen jasper]

i dont believe any of u would include french

no one includes the french

[keen jasper]

i thought i saw one lsst night at like 2am i was beyond delusional lol

[still holly]

Lollll

[craggy onyx]

I always do this lol

[stray belfry]

I'm french 🥹 ✌️
||i'm not||

[craggy onyx]

Also wtf is this first pic lolll. Bigfoot level of evidence fr

[keen jasper]

i am :3
-# not

[still holly]

I’m now auto walking through the hills, occasionally glassing, with my volume cranked way up

I’ve tried the noisy way trying to get a warning call, so now we do this

[cyan knot]

that’s if your in the map for too long and the warning call stops but the sound waves stay

[cyan knot]

nooo never

[spring fiber]

It only happens occasionally with this update and I always play on average 4-5 hours

[solemn estuary]

All haggis

[solid quail]

I love the new blonde one!

[still holly]

I needdddd

[solid quail]

Still all males. Interesting.

[karmic cove]

does the model of the taxed plate of haggis change based on fur?

[solemn estuary]

We need someone to 2peat a haggis

Check their respawns

[untold mortar]

I want a Haggis

I think since there's only one per map it makes sense its a male

[still holly]

Yea

[spring fiber]

but what if

we are all wrong

[untold mortar]

I don't know why don't ask for any type of reasoning

[spring fiber]

And there's males and females...

but the spawn requirements are different

And no one has found the female requirements yet

[untold mortar]

:v

That would be absolutely convoluted and complicated

[spring fiber]

Which is exactly what this whole Haggis thing is already

[untold mortar]

Ill write it down with maybe

[spring fiber]

I vote anything is possible 😂

[untold mortar]

I'll write it down under "yes very likely"

[solemn estuary]

Haggis expert here

We have no clue

Haggis might be linked to rising sea levels

[craggy onyx]

Many are saying this

[cyan knot]

did you have any lures, sent spray, or something? animal callers?

if haggis is a sheep stomach maybe you could attract it with something that would attract a bighorn sheep

[untold mortar]

As leading expert i say they are tied to the red deer population

[craggy onyx]

Any clues around the dead sheep?

[solemn estuary]

I belive they healed the ozone layer

[craggy onyx]

Haven't been back there

[cyan knot]

can’t be, stacie never shot any deer

and it isn’t side mission linked cuz she hasn’t finished the eat your hat mission

[untold mortar]

I've never shot any tide

[craggy onyx]

Or something that would attract a cat. A weird cat

[cyan knot]

someone also said they sound like a dying cat

irl the myth says they like whiskey, there’s an outpost called port whiskey if that means anything

[solid quail]

I had them in my inventory, but hadn't used any.

[stoic warren]

lol aw i love the blonde one

[cyan knot]

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[untold mortar]

They are clearly attacted to the sound of distressed prey(the bagpipes)

[dense spruce]

Were the haggis found without the missions or with the missions?

[craggy onyx]

Most have said they didn't complete many missions iirc

[dense spruce]

Oh ok

[carmine hearth]

So do we know if it despawns over time?

[craggy onyx]

We dont know shite

This is all we know

We know we need to spawn it somehow that's it

[urban elk]

switched from g1 grinding to haggis grinding?🤣

[still holly]

At this point- but it don’t exist on my map…I swear

[craggy onyx]

Might just haven't done whatever the secret special condition is to spawn it to the map 🤔

[urban elk]

i did a bit of looking earlier, but gave up

[still holly]

I can’t think what else to do tbh

[sweet basin]

have you gone into the codex and inspected the haggis hat again

[dense lake]

Maybe jaxy will tell us

[sweet basin]

i just got a loading symbol when i went and inspected the haggis hat

maybe coincidence, maybe the haggis spawn

[craggy onyx]

I mean the person who got the blonde haggy was in their codex when it spawned in front of them

As per the pic

I dunno if the haggis is just wandering around I think it spawns close to you, seeing as in all the screenshots they've been shot very close up

And seeing as they said they watched it pop into existance

[sweet basin]

could it just be linked to idling?

like maybe they're trying the "if they're idle they might not see it"

[craggy onyx]

They said they were fast traveling between tents idk

[urban elk]

have you tried the pointer?

[still holly]

No, there’s a ton of small game so I assume it would just point that?

[sweet basin]

do the capercaillies ever stfu ong

[sweet basin]

try the retriever, maybe it'll just yoink you a live haggis

[urban elk]

possible, but i’m gonna try that next and see how it goes

[still holly]

lol I have mine with me

[sweet basin]

lmao

[untold mortar]

Worst part about the pointer is that the haggis is class 2 so sika, roe, badger, fallow

Those get in the way

[candid heart]

Have there been any common variables between all of the haggis posted

[craggy onyx]

No one can get a good pic of it alive

For some reason

[candid heart]

So we are hunting bigfoot

[craggy onyx]

Kinda

The one live photo of it was blurry asf

For some reason

[candid heart]

Yeah I see that

[untold mortar]

The tawny happened twice i guess

[solid quail]

I think they've all been shot on hills, but that could just be because there are a lot of hills on this map

[candid heart]

I notice they all have a tracking distance in the harvest screen too

[spring fiber]

I've idled a lot but I admit to not paying attentionmuch the times I do lol

[candid heart]

Which I find odd, since people are saying they randomly see them spawn

[spring fiber]

ngl I feel like this number is often wildly innacurate

[candid heart]

Or is that just from tracking the blood

[still holly]

Tracking distance is bugged

[candid heart]

Oh ok

[still holly]

I keep getting boar I’ve tracked 64km lol

[spring fiber]

I heart shot a random fallow I saw once and it said like 400 yards

I was like no 😂

[solid quail]

It's perplexing because I can't think of anything in particular I was doing when I saw mine. I was just running to the next mission point in one of the early missions.

[candid heart]

Had you been to the area before

[solid quail]

No

[candid heart]

So not a respawn from another animal

I just started checking this channel an hour ago and I am so invested now lmao

[still holly]

Honestly I’m gonna run the hills at night in a minute. I’m on lap….who knows how many of the map with 0

[untold mortar]

My best guess Is that they spawn in the map randomly after something gets done

[still holly]

Yeah

[solid quail]

Maybe a particular harvest order?

A certain few animals in a row

[candid heart]

I wonder if it has to do with having a certain sheep on the map

[craggy onyx]

Alphabetical harvests 😭

[candid heart]

Like a diamond or a rare sheep

/goat

[untold mortar]

But i believe they remain on the map and start living their lives not like other mission animals

[still holly]

There are none

[craggy onyx]

There aren't sheep

[candid heart]

A goat rather

[solid quail]

Just a skeletal sheep

[craggy onyx]

Still none

[still holly]

I hope so…I’ve been in/out of the map and changed time when it’s got dark too many times otherwise lol

[craggy onyx]

Just deer and pigs

[untold mortar]

In the story they ask you to make a Haggis(the dish) with red deer stomach

[still holly]

Feral goats on the map

[craggy onyx]

Oh jk there's ferals

True

I discard those from my brain space

[candid heart]

Well if they chose red deer instead of a goat, when in reality it's made from sheep, that seems intentional

[solid quail]

In the mission, you harvest a red deer then pick turnips and potatoes.

I forget which outpost had the neeps and tats

[candid heart]

I also find it odd that the codex says they're nocturnal when people seem to be finding them in the day

So maybe they spawn at night

[untold mortar]

The main one

First one* the castle

[solid quail]

I'm pretty sure I hadn't done that yet when I saw mine

[untold mortar]

Dang it

[karmic cove]

It’s gotta be a random set of events that people can do and realize they’re not even doing anything 😂

[untold mortar]

What did you do before seeing yours?

[karmic cove]

Then you have to ask. How long is the chain of events that has to occur for it to spawn

[solid quail]

Not much. I had just started the map and was doing the missions. I was either in the first region or the beginning of the second.

[craggy onyx]

Did u interact with the codex at all Stacie

[untold mortar]

Its going to be something dumb like running 1km from east to west

[craggy onyx]

Loll

[solid quail]

I don't think so

[craggy onyx]

I know wild haggis wasnt in my codex for a while

And then it was

[untold mortar]

Hmmm

[sweet basin]

im going to turn on steam background recording in case i run into it

wild haggis is in your codex?

[untold mortar]

Good idea

[craggy onyx]

I specifically remember checking when I first learned of it and it wasnt there

Checked yesterday and it was

[solid quail]

Maybe that means one's spawned on your map

[untold mortar]

There's a haggis in your map nova

[craggy onyx]

Maybe

[untold mortar]

It's science

[spring fiber]

I also have it in my codex...

[untold mortar]

Yeah science b*

[spring fiber]

But does it appear when you do that first quest?

[untold mortar]

Its a reference

[craggy onyx]

I checked again after I had finished the haggis side mission and it was there

[spring fiber]

I know someone else didn't do the side mission

[craggy onyx]

I did the main missions and then that one

[spring fiber]

That first main one though

[solid quail]

The devs keep mentioning clockwise and counter-clockwise haggi.

[spring fiber]

So probably not related

[solid quail]

I've tried running around hills clockwise and counter-clockwise. Nothing yet.

[spring fiber]

Maybe gender of haggis?

[solid quail]

I wondered that!

[craggy onyx]

Or crested vs furry

[solid quail]

No one's found a female yet.

[craggy onyx]

Bc theres been what 2 crested and 2 furry variants found?

[spring fiber]

There's 5 total now

[craggy onyx]

Yeah 2 are the same tho

[solid quail]

4 different furs at this point

[craggy onyx]

Furry tawny

[solid quail]

Blonde, cinnamon, tawny, and crested

[untold mortar]

Females don't exist they reproduce by mitosis

They eat a full Red deer get real fat and divide

[craggy onyx]

Crested wasnt the fur it was the descriptor

[solid quail]

Ooh

[untold mortar]

Crested is The cute one

The Stud

The King

[craggy onyx]

Crested brown, crested blonde, furry tawny, and furry charred cinnamon

[spice oar]

Hi

[craggy onyx]

My fave is blonde so far

[craggy onyx]

Yo

[spice oar]

Do u have all the photos

[craggy onyx]

U haggis huntin Azi?

[craggy onyx]

Theyre in the media tab for this thread

[spice oar]

Not rn im taking a break since event in another game i play is happening

[craggy onyx]

The 4 furs and the codex

[spice oar]

Tawny is my favorite

Surely theres a rare for these? Right?

Like an albino or smth

[craggy onyx]

Maybe idk

[solid quail]

Is the one in the emoji a different fur?

[craggy onyx]

Yes

That we haven't seen

[spice oar]

Emoji?

[craggy onyx]

Dont think its charred

[craggy onyx]

Look at ur name

[solid quail]

Looks like a crested?

[spice oar]

Thats a weird looking haggis

[candid heart]

I want to make a list of all the possible conditions that we think could affect the haggis and test them later

What do we think they could be

[still holly]

Doing the missions

[solid quail]

Running a certain direction
Harvesting animals in a certain order

[spice oar]

Ngl i kinda wanna try actual haggis now

[solid quail]

Me, too!

[still holly]

I’ve asked to try some when I’m next with my bf lol

[carmine hearth]

Definitely something to do with missions since the spawn requires special conditions

[spring fiber]

I wouldn't say this for sure

Ben said pretty clearly it's a method they've not done before

[still holly]

Well I’ve begun a night run

[solid quail]

Ben did seem to imply that they could respawn, too

[karmic cove]

well its been said that if any mission matters itll be the first and thats it

[carmine hearth]

Maybe not directly related but might only spawn after a certain set is finished

[still holly]

Butttt this is still different to any previous mission animal

[candid heart]

I was texting a friend earlier today who moved to England two years ago, and he doesn't even know about cotw but this timing is too good

[karmic cove]

i think some said that they didnt even touch a mission

[candid heart]

Boy have I heard of it lmao

[still holly]

it’s not go here, shoot this etc

[spring fiber]

Yeah. Iirc one specifically said they'd only don't the first

[karmic cove]

there has to be something that you do in the map either walk here, interact with this, or kill this that spawns it

[carmine hearth]

Ok then if not a mission then what else could proc the spawn?

[karmic cove]

and could be multiple of those that are back to back lmao

[solid quail]

Once it spawns, do you suppose it spawns near to you, or anywhere on the map?

[cyan knot]

is it not in yours? make sure your looking for wild haggis and not haggis

[spring fiber]

I believe 2 of the 5 said they were pretty much just meandering around the map unlocking stuff. So anything could be possible from movement to certain interaction combinations

[craggy onyx]

Maybe unlock a special poi?

[spring fiber]

Ngl I think it'd be hilarious if it's some goofy thing like up down left left down right up 😂

[craggy onyx]

Trueee

[cyan knot]

it’s because haggis always move round a hill in Scottish myths as they have wonky legs, so to keep their balance they travel in circles around hills. so if haggis is wondering clockwise around a hill, the way to find him is to travel anticlockwise

[solid quail]

I feel like it's got to be tied to haggis lore somehow

[carmine hearth]

There has to be clues to the spawn

[spring fiber]

Possible? In the stream Ben mentioned locations on the map that aren't POIs but were essentially creative side projects from the team

[karmic cove]

they did say in the stream with flinter that the team has poi sorta locations baked into the map that either werent big enough to be a poi or is just something they wanted to add

[sweet basin]

someone try the konami code

[inland gull]

I think they just roam the map or are given random home ranges for each person. There’s been one killed up at the top of the map and one towards the bottom for example

[cyan knot]

red deer must be related

[karmic cove]

lmao i was thinking the same thing

[craggy onyx]

You said you found urs around the starting area?

[solid quail]

Either the first or beginning of the second region

I wasn't paying enough attention

[craggy onyx]

Was that the only areas you visited?

[karmic cove]

insane i was typing that out as you sent it lmao

[carmine hearth]

Did you do anything of note? Maybe kill a lot of a single animal?

[solid quail]

No, I was running to the next mission spot

[candid heart]

Can we get a heat map of killed haggis locations

[craggy onyx]

So the rest of your map other than those areas was grey?

[cyan knot]

if they were just on the map, loads more would have been found though

[carmine hearth]

Remember the mission?

[solid quail]

Yeah. It was the beginning of the game for me

[craggy onyx]

Copy that helps I think

[karmic cove]

yeah i got to agree

[solid quail]

I didn't think I'd finished the haggis hunt mission, but I might have

[carmine hearth]

So just one of the early ones?

[solid quail]

Yes

[candid heart]

Wait who got theirs the earliest into playing the map

[craggy onyx]

I haven't fully explored the first outpost

[solid quail]

I think it was me

[cyan knot]

i don’t think it’s mission linked, maybe a secret mission

[sweet basin]

ceum a deas and ceum a tuath are also where they'd been found

[cyan knot]

cuz ben said it was connected to missions but maybe not the ones we are trying

[craggy onyx]

Loch a tuath

[inland gull]

Not necessarily. If there is only 1 of them per map. It’s gonna be near impossible to find one badger sized animal that’s constantly moving around the map, without any indication of where it’s at

[candid heart]

So you will have the most limited variables then

[carmine hearth]

Eh I feel like people wouldve brought something like it up by now

[cyan knot]

even so, hackers would have found it easy

[solid quail]

That's what's so confusing to me. I'd barely done anything when I saw it

[cyan knot]

and modders would have found loads

[carmine hearth]

Someone who got it had it spawn right in front of them

[inland gull]

Not necessarily. It’s probably tied to spawn mechanics like mission animals. Hence why hackers and modders haven’t gotten them

[inland gull]

Interesting. Maybe it’s a completely random event

[candid heart]

What had you done then? Assuming the condition is the same for everyone, for every haggis, then it can't be too complex

[cyan knot]

if the 5 finders hadn’t done many missions it has to be something related to the early game

[craggy onyx]

Ben specifically said there's spawn conditions

[solid quail]

Let me look and see what you have to do in the first few missions.

[carmine hearth]

Possibly but the way Ben was hinting I do think there are conditions

[craggy onyx]

Unlike any they've done before

[inland gull]

Probably the counter clockwise/ clockwise stuff around mountains

[solid quail]

Because that's all I'd done

[carmine hearth]

I don’t think it would be something that you had to do specifically in one of the story missions since that would mean some people are locked out of getting it if they had completed the line

[candid heart]

But if he did something uniquely when doing those missions then that could be a tell

[carmine hearth]

Ben actually answering 😭

[cyan knot]

let’s assume it’s linked to the first 3 main missions:

• MEAL DEAL:
  Castle outpost
  Castle kitchen

• HAGGIS HUNT
  Bagpipes

• PIPE DOWN
  The pit - why would there just be a random unexplained hole in the ground?

[carmine hearth]

But if you had to do it in that mission and if not it wouldn’t spawn then most people would be locked out of it

[inland gull]

One of the haggis’ have been found without the first mission even being completed

[candid heart]

I don't mean something within the actual missions, but what the missions made him do

[cyan knot]

we know it’s to do with missions as ben said he wanted us to have a mission animal with a different way of getting it, so it has to be a secret spawn trigger

[candid heart]

Like run a certain direction, shoot a certain animal, etc.

[solid quail]

I feel like it has to be something like that

Not mission-related

[cyan knot]

and it can’t be linked to red deer cuz stacie never shot one

[carmine hearth]

Ben described it as “a mission animal but in a different way”

[still holly]

Who’s?

[carmine hearth]

And then spoke about the hat 🤦‍♂️

[craggy onyx]

Easy. Run around a mountain clockwise, shoot a diamond red deer, and let it lay there to lure the haggis out 💯

[candid heart]

Maybe the haggis location or condition changes with each mission

[solid quail]

Maybe you have to visit outposts in a certain order?

[cyan knot]

this is why i feel like there’s a hidden mission

[craggy onyx]

Is there a specific time frame maybe?

[cyan knot]

but did you even unlock any outposts

[still holly]

There’s not

[solid quail]

Or outposts and lookout towers

[craggy onyx]

Nobody mentioned getting a new mission

[still holly]

Yeah I’ve done every mission

And side

[solid quail]

Yes, because you have to in the first mission

[candid heart]

A mission that doesn't show perhaps

[still holly]

There’s no hidden ones

[cyan knot]

not an actual mission but a secret series of things you need to do to unlock its spawn

a mission that doesn’t even show up as a mission. it just exists without telling you

[craggy onyx]

I get what u mean

[carmine hearth]

Sure maybe but I feel like there would be less of them found if it really was a perfect sequence of steps

[craggy onyx]

Doesnt have to be a long complicated set of steps

[cyan knot]

it can’t be that difficult

[candid heart]

This feels like getting secret Pokemon to spawn on my old 3DS 😭

[sweet basin]

the haggis looksnso weird i thought i just turned round and seen it but its just a red foxes carcass zone

[carmine hearth]

Has to be something that is done casually without real effort or noticeability

[solid quail]

Mew is under the truck

I replied to the wrong comment

[still holly]

I wanna know who got it without doing missions

[craggy onyx]

The haggis is under the castle 💯

[still holly]

And know what they did do

[cyan knot]

once it starts becoming easier to find, it would be nice to see haggis hunt streams instead of great one streams

[sweet basin]

was going to say i was very confused

[solid quail]

Old Pokemon Red and Blue lore

[sweet basin]

leafgreen truther

[solid quail]

I'm old. It was original Red for me

[sweet basin]

its the only pokemon game besides heartgold that i played

[spice thicket]

Did anyone who killed one recently change the time?

[sweet basin]

my mum likes to say "im not old, just dry aged"

[spice thicket]

Idk if that’s dumb but like clockwise and counter clockwise makes me think of time

[solid quail]

Hmm!
