A tip from my personal experience, (in multiplayer) you or your friend should each take on one elk. Once the calf is dead, you move onto the mother. If you kill the mother you can get more food which is good for larger litters of pups!
From my experience, and a hunting/fighting video I watched (albeit I do not remember the creator of said video), biting the neck of an elk is safer and does more damage. Although note this is not viable when chasing since it's hard to get in front of it to do so, but if it falls or stands its ground, try and go for the neck.
It's also worth getting the hang of tracking carcass scents, there are a surprising number out there. Even if there's a competitor there, your mate can distract them long enough for you to snatch a meat chunk or two.
Yeah I always rely on finding carcasses when my wolves are too injured to hunt. If you spend like 10 minutes searching you’ll usually be able to find one and you can typically get all of your hunger up just from one scavenged carcass
I played this when I was a kid on my first laptop, I am 26, about to be 27 now, this game is ancient I didn't knew it was still going, either, I haven't heard about this game in about a decade
Thank you so much for the tips!! I knew most of them but quite a few were new to me and should _really_ help during my achievement hunting struggles. Lol. A personal tip of mine is that you can steer individual elk and even herds! Just run to the front of the elk/herd from a safe distance and keep trying to stay ahead of them on the side of them OPPOSITE the direction you want to turn. (So for example, to turn a herd left/west, get on the right/east side of them.) This is handy to help prevent a successful kill in enemy wolf territory and potentially getting your food snatched by them.
It's so nice to see how far this game has come over the years. I haven't actually played in over 5 years but to see they finally updated everything makes me so happy to see!
Another tip that can sometimes come in handy is drinking water. It doesn't do a lot, but it raises your hunger (and stamina!) just a little, which can be a huge advantage in the long run (especially if you're doing a challenge like Ultra Ironwolf, or if you're simply struggling to scavange).
I have another general hunting tip! When you have a mate they tend to be good at finding the low health elk, so let them choose who to run after. Doesn’t always work but pretty consistently gets you elk with half health or under without having to take damage by biting them!
These are great tips! I struggle even on just the challenging mode, So I'll probably apply these tips there and see how I go. Hopefully I can complete Accurate one day.
If your speed is low, don't bother--it's not worth the time and effort to catch up to them as they don't provide the most food for your mate and a good sized litter. I find wearing them down over great distances using stamina works best. Try to circle around them to force them to change direction towards your den, always. Avoid herding them towards water. Attempt to force them against cliffs or other impassable terrain so they are trapped. Once you take the first bite, it's much easier to finish them off as they slow down (usually). I find coming down from a higher elevation also helps with the element of surprise and speed. In spring, you can take down mother doe out of the doe/calf herds before you snatch up the baby.
I want to add, there are many benefits from wearing the elk out. If you chase them for a good 2-4 minutes they will get increasingly tired. They will run slower, the weaker ones will even slow to a trot, and they will do SIGNIFICANTLY less damage. It takes longer, but if you are in a situation with lower health and starving, then this strategy can save your butt.
one time I was fleeing from a pack of wolves in their territory trying to kill an elk, my stamina ran out miles away from their border and they chased me to the death
Every time i play as iron wolf on challenging. I like always die, because whenever i’m hunting elk at the beginning. I get attacked by a pack of 3 wolves, and I die, it sucks and it happens like every time. 👁️👄👁️
@@radioactivepower600nanaspersec dont worry for something you are not responsible (entirely) for, but yes I meant that speed stats arent the very important ones on easy or accurate difficulty.

I do it with my mate

Agreed, I should have mentioned scavenging in the video as a survival method! Thanks for the input!

wow, i remember playin this game somewhere around 2018-2020, didn't realize it was still updatin.
Yeah! The games so much fun and it’s really improved too! Highly recommend picking the game back up if your interested 😊
@@Tallows_Nook wish I could, unfortunately I can't find it on my phone or on my laptop. I don't have an actual PC to play it on 🥲

@Elusvn I think 2007, I was 10, that's wolf quest classic.

you can drink water?! HOW?!
@@loserorangeorvoremonster8047clicking space on water allows you to drink it
@@loserorangeorvoremonster8047 Go to a creek or river, and click space to drink it
BTW, you can actually jump out of the way of a kick! Its easier than running around
Sometimes you can find the elk laying down too before u startle them, try that one as it wont be able to stand up once you latch on
you're gonna need to remake this when the saga comes out for all of our pups sake
our*
@@Anonymous-ng4wc oops 🤭
I will definitely make an updated version when the saga comes out! 😊
@@wolfinthesage yeah I think the growing pups part will be the hardest

VERY good advice, thank you for the well explained tips!
Thanks dude
Your channel is so underrated
Omg this saved me 😭🙏 would you consider doing a video for mule deer? I find them impossible to hunt on accurate

This is so helpful! Thanks! :D
Glad to hear it helped! 💗
thanks a lot for this! might try playing in accurate soon
thanks this was really useful!
very much needed this lol, thanks!!
I'm happy to help! 😁

one important note is that when the first elk flees it usually means their one of the weakest targets, so chase them!

Im so cooked for the saga with my ironwolves 💀 all prey will be nearly full on health
How to play accurate: Shewt on the speed stats, you dont even need them on easy
Shewt? As in sh*t on them? Or what was it you meant to say?
@@radioactivepower600nanaspersec relevant.
Relevant as in "the speed stats are really important"?
Sorry if I get annoying with the questions and all that, english is not my mother tongue
@@radioactivepower600nanaspersec dont worry for something you are not responsible (entirely) for, but yes I meant that speed stats arent the very important ones on easy or accurate difficulty.
@@JELONGreatMrRed Aaaahhh, ok thank you!
What would you say are the most relevant ones to pick?
Your game looks so nice, what graphics settings are you using?
I'm on "Beautiful" graphics 😊
@@wolfinthesage ty!
Imagine WolfQuest... but in Unreal Engine 5 QvQ
Another tip, PLAY EASYYYY😭😭
