AI Hunting Guide at Ecos La Brea

In the immersive world of *Ecos La Brea*, hunting AI animals can be a challenging yet rewarding experience. Here's a detailed guide on how to master this skill, ensuring you can effectively track and catch these elusive creatures.

How to Catch AI in Ecos La Brea

The key to successfully hunting AI in *Ecos La Brea* is to prioritize **stealth**. To begin tracking, utilize your sense of smell by pressing the **scent button**. This action will reveal **animal icons** on your screen if there are any AI animals nearby. To enhance your stealth, **crouch** to activate a **meter** that shows how close you are to spooking the animal.

The **meter** is crucial as it fills up based on your movement speed. The faster you move, the quicker the meter fills, and once it's full, the AI will start to run. Here's how different movement speeds affect the meter:

• **Sprinting** fills the meter almost instantly.
• **Running** significantly increases the meter's fill rate.
• **Trotting** fills it more slowly.
• **Walking** is the slowest and should be used as you approach your target.

Additionally, consider the **direction** of your approach. Approaching **downwind** will cause the animal to spook more quickly. **Crosswind** offers a middle ground, but the ideal direction is **upwind**, which minimizes the chance of detection.

Understanding the **AI's behavior** is also vital. You'll notice a **question mark** appearing occasionally above the animal icon. If you move while this question mark is visible, the meter will fill up faster. To avoid this, **stop moving** until the question mark disappears.

Despite your best efforts, the meter will eventually fill up, prompting the AI to flee. Be ready to **toggle Sprint** to chase it down. The AI moves erratically, so it may take some practice to anticipate its movements. For better visibility and fewer obstacles, try hunting in **open fields**.

To successfully catch the AI, you must get **very close** to bite it. Once you have your prey, **drop it** to the ground and then **eat it**. Continue this cycle of hunting to satisfy your needs in the game.
