Hunter Location and How to Reach It

Open the Journal with J, select Hunter Becomes the Hunted, and press F to show its location on the World map. The marker for the Hunter's vault appears east of the Ancient Spire in the Springlands.

In our playthrough, we fast traveled to the Ancient Spire in the Springlands from the World map, glided east from the top, and landed partway before walking to the vault.

How to Get Past the Electric Traps

Past the entrance of the Hunter's vault, electric orbs on the walls send bolts across the floor.

In our playthrough, Double Jump was still locked, and we got through the traps without it.

Rescue the Hunter Deep in the Vault

Deep in the vault is a room lined with large vessels. In our playthrough, SOUL DISCOVERED! appeared with the name Athalan Skree when we reached the glowing vessel, and the objective changed to Summon The Hunter.

Right after that, recipe unlock notices appeared for Dried Fur at the Drying Rack and for Flint Arrow and more at the Hunter.

How to Summon the Hunter

When the objective changes to Summon The Hunter, return to your base first.

  1. 1

    Fast travel to your base

    On the World map, select your base icon and choose Fast Travel.

  2. 2

    Select the Summoning Staff

    Select the Summoning Staff on your hotbar to open the summoning screen. The staff has to be attuned with TAB before you can use it.

  3. 3

    Switch to Athalan Skree

    Press ALT to switch survivors and select Athalan Skree. The panel on the right shows her as the Hunter, not placed yet. In our playthrough, Oswald Anders was selected first.

  4. 4

    Place her at your base

    Place the Hunter at your base. In our playthrough, QUEST COMPLETED! appeared as soon as she was placed, along with Quest reward XP +800.

  5. 5

    Assign her a bed

    After placing her, point the Summoning Staff at an unoccupied bed and click to assign it to her. In our playthrough, the bed then showed as occupied by Athalan Skree.
