Kyrat Fashion Week

Kyrat’s take on the rare hunt comes courtesy of Mr Chiffon, who needs you to gather the skins and scales of very specific beasts for him to use in crafting his “combat couture”.

To initiate the Kyrat Fashion Week quest line, stop by Mr Chiffon’s hideout at x:325 y:384, just west of Kyra Tea Weigh Station. Once you’ve made Chiffon’s acquaintance, his rare hunts will start to appear at your various safe houses.

Sky Tiger

Barnali’s Textiles (x:444 y:689) Weapon: Assault Rifle

You’ll find Sky Tiger in a cave at the mouth of a narrow valley. Regular tigers hang out here as well, so proceed cautiously. Fighting multiple tigers at once is a very dangerous game.

Mad Devil

Keo Gold Storage (x:440 y:815)Weapon: Bow and Arrows or Auto-Cross

Taking down a wolf den with a bow and arrows was one of the first things you did in Kyrat. So this should be a snap, right?

Maybe. Maybe not.

Mad Devil’s bite is poisonous, which means your vision gets all woozy if he connects. Plus, his cave is protected by a pack of normal wolves nearly a dozen strong. However, remembering that you can use any weapon you want to cull his underlings makes this hunt much more manageable, especially if you can then get Mad Devil one-on-one.

Shadow Leopard

Keo Logging Camp (x:417 y:754) Weapon: Assault Rifle

Another fairly simple assignment, the toughest thing about this one is grappling up to the high plateau where the shadow leopard lives. As with the tiger, watch for other leopards as well, so you don’t get gang-tackled by angry kitties.

Ghost Bear

Keo Pradhana Mine (x:695 y:620)Weapon: Shotgun

Ghost bear is easy to identify. He’s the one with the white face and the head and chest covered in fresh human blood. How easy this quest is depends entirely upon which shotgun you bring along. If you’re rolling with the SPAS-12 or the 87, it’s no worries. If you’re toting something slower to fire, better load up on syringes.

Tenzin

Kyra Tea Terraces (x:391 y:330)Weapon: Bow and Arrow or Auto-Cross

Don’t misinterpret the rule on this one. Yes, you have to kill Tenzin, the brown-and-white dhole, with the bow and arrow. But you can kill his pack with whatever weapon you desire. Bring along a shotgun to clear out the minions and only pull out the bow (or auto-cross) for Tenzin. Also, a level 2 hunting syringe is a huge help here, as it will keep the pack from swarming you.

Black Water Dragon

Kyra Tea Weigh Station (x:346 y:381)Weapon: Explosives

Fishing with dynamite. Now that’s a safe hunt.

Make your way to the ol’ fishin’ hole, which is actually a riverside cliff stocked with ammo and explosives, and pop a hunter syringe to help you see the fabled Black Water Dragon (which is actually white—it’s the water that’s black, apparently). A grenade launcher is your most efficient weapon here, but you do have options. C4 works in water, mines work (though you almost have to hit the fish with it), and grenades or explosive arrows can also get the job done. There’s an explosive barrel below, and even a buzzer and an M-79 grenade launcher if you really want to stack the odds. Luckily, the “you can’t skin it if you blew it to smithereens” rule seems to be lifted for this quest.

Gulo

Pranijigat School (x:346 y:625)Weapon: LMG

A honey badger with white fur and a bloody muzzle, Gulo is a tenacious little cuss. He’s a pretty easy kill though, because your weapon for this hunt is a bullet-spewing LMG.

Thick Skin

Rajgad Gulag (x:808 y:788) Weapon: Fire

Taking on a raging elephant with anything short of a rocket launcher is a monumental task. And here, you’ve got to make the kill with fire, one of the slowest killing techniques in the game. This could get ugly.

Thick Skin will be in full rampage mode when you arrive, tossing any human within reach across the yard. Luckily, you can use those other people as a distraction and chip away at him from behind. The house makes good cover, too.

Karkadann

Shanath Breeders (x:381 y:572)Weapon: Shotgun

Sometimes, your quarry is hidden away in a distant lair far from civilization. Other times, they’re busy tipping over trucks and causing a six-car pileup on the bridge. You’ve got to love rhinos.

Even more than Ghost Bear, this is a battle that practically requires a SPAS-12 or 87 shotgun. Under normal circumstances, the vehicles on the bridge would offer plenty of cover, but Karkadann can run right through them. The bottom line: You want to get as much lead as possible into him as quickly as you can. A survival syringe (for damage reduction) or level 2 hunting syringe (so you can approach without provoking the beast and line up several headshots) will help immensely.
