The Long Dark - First Cougar Kill (Interloper) + Top 10 Tips for killing Cougar

This was my first encounter with the new Cougar. Playing on Interloper, you only have bow, no guns but was able to take it down with 4 arrows. SOME TIPS FOR COUGAR HUNTING : 1. Super sense - be careful as the Cougar can pick up your trail from further away than other animals, especially if carrying meat etc for smell. 2. Make sure your condition is max - as you can see by the video, even with all the hits it took a lot of damage so make sure you are full before you start. 3. Check the weather - make sure you have good visibility and not too cold, you don't want to have to abandon and lose extra condition. 4. Not overweight - almost goes without saying but to give you maximum time to get the hit, make sure you are not overweight and ideally as light as possibly for extra time for aiming. 5. Treat it like a wolf up close - you aim and shoot at it similar to a wolf but it is quicker. Go backwards as it comes towards you to get max time and try and aim for the head. 6. Plenty of arrows/Good condition bow - make sure your equipment is up to scratch, you don't want your bow to break mid hunt or to run out of arrows. 7. Check your surroundings - ideally try to take it out on flat ground, its much less likely to suddenly change direction once "locked" in a straight line then. Also be aware of other predators in the area, usually best to take them out first if you can. 8. Make sure to get the shot in - ideally you want the headshot but if it starts coming at an angle, make sure you at least get a body shot to stop the struggle cutscene which is end of hunt and quite likely end of your run too. 9. Extra tip - have some birch tea before contact (I didn't on this run but will remember this idea for next time), as it may help add some extra condition back during the battle, which could be the difference. 10. Abandon - not when to engage and when not to. If your situation doesn't tick all of the above, it may be a good idea to just keep well away and fight another day.
