As you load back into Strawberry, you will receive a sample kit which will include the Legendary Animal map and an Animal Field guide. The field guide is a book for documenting wildlife research, whereas the Legendary Animal map will simply show you all the locations of the Legendary Animals. Once you’re out of the cut scene, you can start collecting samples for the Naturalist role.

The mini-map will display all the Legendary Animals that you can track down to sedate and collect the blood samples. However, before you embark on the journey, make sure that you purchase the Sedative ammo for the Varmint Rifle to take down the animals. You can buy the ammo from either Gusts or Harriet’s Naturalist Store.
