Skittish, but good at detecting threats, Elk tend to stand their ground and give warning if you are to close before charging. They are found in Black Creek, Valley Forge, Monmouth, John's Town, Great Piece Hills, and Troy's Wood regions of the Frontier.
Hunting Tip - When attacked by a Male elk, it takes two QTEs (quick time events) to take it down. However, for Xbox 360, If you hold right trigger and hit X immediately after the first QTE, as the elk tries to run away, you will perform a Hidden blade kill and drop it immediately. Likewise, on PS3, one can press square repeatedly after the first QTE to end the fight. This eliminates the second QTE and speeds up hunting. May work with other animals.
Female elk can be found In the same areas as the male elk and can be identified by their lack of antlers. Unlike the male elk, they are more docile and will not attack when threated.
Hunting Tip - Find a way to sneak up behind the elk or air assassinate one with your hidden blade.
Both male and female elk can drop elk meat, elk pelts, and elk hearts. Elk antlers can be looted from the male elk only. The meat can be used to make smoked or salted elk meat, while the antlers and heart can be combined to make a stiffness remedy. The pelts can be used to make bear pendants, water drums, wolf pendants, and moccasins. The antlers can be mounted and made into a trade good.
