Now here’s a partial list of things I’ve confirmed that you can do in Defensive mode: When the event is finished, you won’t automatically be put back into Defensive mode you’ll have to do that manually. Note that when you partake in any of these listed events, you will be automatically put into Offensive mode. (Additionally, you can’t go into Defensive mode if your hostility is too high.)Īre there any downsides to playing in Defensive mode? Well, there aren’t really downsides, per se, but there are some caveats.įor one, there are some activities that will kick you out of Defensive mode.

These are at random locations within the animals spawn radius so you may have to roam the area a bit.Note that there’s a 30-second delay between the time you toggle it and the time it actually activates. Now you must press + (Left Stick + Right Stick) and look for yellow clues around the area. This usually clears up whatever activity is blocking the animal from spawning. If it says something about the area “being too busy” do the exact same (sleep at camp, ride away and return). If this clue doesn’t show in top left corner, create a campsite via your item wheel, sleep, ride away, and return to the animal symbol until it shows you this note.

Upon entering the area it has to show you the following clue in the top left corner or else the legendary animal won’t spawn: They look like drawings of the animal but with a “crown” icon over their head.
