Sasquatch Hunter
872456.jpg
The Sasquatch Hunter is a character who can be seen after achieving 100% completion in the game. He will send Franklin on a mission to hunt a Sasquatch he claims is in the woods. He only has one mission related to him.
The Last One [1.5/5 Difficulty]
Started by:
Unlocked by:
Required for 100% completion?
Franklin
Achieving 100% completion.
No
Gold Medal Requirements:
Wounded - Shoot the Sasquatch 3 times before catching it
Hunter - Kill 4 animals whilst chasing the Sasquatch
Mr Green - Go to the scat site on foot
Tips:
The scat site is quite a long run. Make sure not to get into any vehicle while going there.
Have an automatic weapon that can fire fast while you are chasing after the Sasquatch. He will pop out so you have a limited time to shoot him until he disappears again.
Listen for animals and kill anything you see. Watch out for cougars and pumas attacking you.
A Gold Medal is earned when all objectives in a mission are achieved. Luckily you do not have to earn them all in one run; you can replay a mission at your leisure and the objectives will stack with each repeat play of that mission (the 5 Rampages are the only exception to this, as all requirements must be achieved in one run). Individual requirements, however, are not stackable so if you get 8/10 headshots in your first playthrough you will still need to get 10 in your second. To replay a mission or check your current medal progress, pause the game by pressing and go to the "Game" tab with and select "Replay Story Mission" or "Replay Strangers & Freaks". Unfortunately you have to manually count how many Gold Medals you have earned by scrolling down the mission lists.
Certain missions have requirements such as "Time Completed", "Accuracy" and "Minimal Damage to Health & Armour". These challenges will automatically be void if you die and instead the checklist will say "Checkpoint", if this happens you must restart the entire mission again. Cutscenes also add to the timer on missions so be sure to skip them with .
A few tips to bear in mind:
Your character's current skill levels when choosing "Replay Mission" will be available in that mission, therefore it is highly recommended to do this trophy post-game when you have maxed out at least "Driving", "Stamina", "Strength" and "Special". Furthermore, all weapons and upgrades you have bought will be available, as will body armour if you purchase it before replaying a mission.
The Strangers & Freaks missions are by far the easiest missions to get a Gold Medal in as they are often very short and have only a few requirements to meet. Similarly the "heist preparation" missions are short and easy as are Lester's Assassinations. Unfortunately you can only replay the "heist preparation" missions that you chose to do during your playthrough i.e. "loud and dumb" or "smart", you can't do the other side's easy missions as well. You can, however, replay the final mission twice and choose both "Option A" and "Option B" for their very easy Gold Medals, bringing the total available for main story missions up to 71. For story missions in general you should replay those which have the fewest requirements, plus try and avoid those with criteria such as "Accuracy" and "Time Completed" because if you die you'll have to restart the whole mission again. With miscellaneous objectives if you fail you can often just kill yourself or fail the mission on purpose to try again.
