Mythical animals represent the highest harvest rating tier in Hunting Season [BETA], an open-world hunting experience developed by Josima Studios on Roblox. Reaching this tier awards the official Mythical Animal badge, ranking directly above Ruby, Diamond, Gold, Silver, and Bronze. Finding these elusive targets requires rotating regional hunting leads, utilizing high-vantage scan spots, and making accurate vital shots.
Official Animal Rarity Tiers
Animal harvests in Hunting Season receive ratings upon collection. Official game badges outline six established harvest tiers.
| Rarity Tier | Official Badge | Description Criteria |
|---|---|---|
| Bronze | Bronze Animal | Harvest a bronze-rated animal |
| Silver | Silver Animal | Harvest a silver-rated animal |
| Gold | Gold Animal | Harvest a gold-rated animal |
| Diamond | Diamond Animal | Harvest a diamond-rated animal |
| Ruby | Ruby Animal | Incredibly rare harvest tier |
| Mythical | Mythical Animal | Top tier harvest rating |
When you harvest any downed animal, the harvest summary screen displays the animal's exact rarity, weight, gender, age, difficulty rating, and fur type. Preserving the animal stores it in the Harvests menu, allowing you to mount your best kills inside your customizable Trophy Lodge.
The Regional Lead Cycling Method
Relying on random open-world encounters makes locating Ruby and Mythical harvests slow. A hunting routine demonstrated by experienced players utilizes regional lead boards to pinpoint high-tier targets.
- Inspect the bottom lead: Approach the lead board at your lodge. Focus primarily on the bottom lead listing, as it frequently features the highest tier opportunities. If it offers a rare target, purchase it immediately.
- Rotate regions if leads are low quality: If the board lacks valuable entries, fast travel to the Savannah outpost, check the board, and proceed to the Snowy Taiga outpost. Check the lead offerings at each location.
- Hunt Boulder Creek during cooldowns: When you are waiting for new board leads to generate, return to Boulder Creek. This area provides open lines of sight to hunt while timers tick down.
- Scan from your lodge: Step outside your Boulder Creek lodge and scan the surrounding terrain using binoculars.
- Reset wildlife via Pinewood: Fast travel to Pinewood and head up into the watchtower. From this vantage point, inspect the surrounding woods. Fast traveling back to your lodge after this loop allows wildlife in Boulder Creek enough time to respawn.
Repeating this loop allows active players to cycle through leads rapidly rather than walking blindly across the map.
Helpful Game Passes for High-Tier Tracking
While all animals can be tracked using standard binoculars, tracks, and blood trails, specific game passes sold on the Roblox store provide clear mechanical advantages for spotting Mythicals:
- Enhanced Hunter (239 Robux): Displays the exact animal rarity chances directly on your screen, estimates trail distance ahead, and reveals target weight and variant information faster.
- Hunting Towers (149 Robux): Grants access to strategically placed hunting towers across the map, including vantage spots like the Pinewood tower.
- Thermal Scope (379 Robux): Adds a thermal rifle attachment for clear animal visibility during both daytime and nighttime conditions.
- Permanent ATV (399 Robux): Unlocks an all-terrain vehicle at all outposts to travel between remote animal trails quickly.
Shot Placement and Vital Organs
Spotting a Mythical animal is only half the process; securing the harvest requires a clean shot. When you examine a collected animal, the game records the distance, caliber, bullet velocity, and specific hit locations.
The game models five distinct organ hitboxes:
- Heart (Vital)
- Left Lung (Vital)
- Right Lung (Vital)
- Brain (Vital)
- Flesh (Non-vital)
Shots connecting with vital organs cause the animal to collapse almost immediately. If a bullet hits only flesh, wounded prey can run for hundreds of yards, forcing you to follow blood tracks marked as walking, trotting, or galloping. Clean shots that down prey rapidly also yield a plus five kill speed bonus on the collection screen. Smaller species such as Red Foxes possess low health pools and collapse quickly from center-mass body shots, whereas large species like Grizzly Bears or Moose require deliberate aim behind the shoulder blade to pierce the heart or lungs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which animals can be hunted in Hunting Season?
The roster of huntable wildlife documented across beta versions includes White Tailed Deer, Moose, Red Fox, Ruffed Grouse, Canada Goose, Grizzly Bear, Lion, Plains Zebra, Blue Wildebeest, Spotted Hyena, Wild Boar, Grey Wolf, and Tiger.
Can you get a Mythical animal without buying game passes?
Yes. Mythical animals spawn naturally in the wilderness and appear on lead boards. Game passes such as Enhanced Hunter only display exact rarity percentages and stats early; they do not restrict free players from locating, shooting, and harvesting Mythicals.
How do you track wounded animals that run away?
Animals leave physical tracks showing how long ago they passed: Very Fresh, Fresh, Very Recent, Recent, Old, or Very Old. When injured, tracks indicate blood trails, heading direction, and movement speed. Hunting dogs can also be trained to track targets by blood or scent.
