  • Prerequisites: Liberate Sacred Skies Youth Camp (Cult Outpost)
  • Rewards: $800
  • Details: The cult’s failed experiment is on the loose. Find the Bliss-soaked cougar and kill it.

MISSION Commencement

Resistance Member

Once you defeat the Peggies at the Sacred Skies Youth Camp (cult outpost), locate the Resistance fighter by the main lodge, and speak to them about a hunting job; a fearsome and Bliss-filled cougar is on the loose!

REACH the Judge Cougar location

The cougar is prowling the rocky slopes almost due south of Sacred Skies Lake, close to Dead Man’s River. Take a quad from Ghost Cat Mine, and drive it south into the woods until you reach a series of mist-filled rock outcrops up a grassland valley.

KILL the Judge Cougar

The cougar is hidden inside the Bliss mist. Circle around and attack it from above, using rapid-fire weaponry (a light machine gun is a good choice), circle-strafing, jumping, and dodging. Use the rock outcrop as cover and to leap from. Continue to hit it until it disappears, and a random animal (usually a wolf) blinks into existence. Kill that, skin it, and check the rock for ammo and weapons; then trek up to the next rock outcrop and repeat the plan. Shoot the cougar until it disappears and two turkeys appear. Check the outcrop for items, head to the third rock, and lay waste to six imaginary bison before executing the final round of rapid gunfire to bring the beast down. Skin it once the mission concludes.
