Assassins Creed Rogue – Hunting Guide

Just like the previous entries, Assassin's Creed Rogue allows players to go hunting for animals, both on land and sea, in order to craft special items and equipment. There's only one hunting related trophy/achievement and it's the bronze/10 point Unicorn Slayer. You'll get this for harpooning a Narwhal. Ready to find all your prey? Use our guide to get started.
