Investigate the missing hikers of Monongah
Monongah
Appalachia / West Virginia
Before the war, a pair of hikers were found mauled by an unknown animal in Monongah. I'm picking up the investigation to see if I can determine what happened to them.
There are four clues: Forensics Report, Incident Evaluation, Animal Control Report and Terminal entry > Incident Report 1542.
A pair of hikers were found mauled by an unknown animal in Monongah. The animal control report points to an obscure lake in the area.
The lake is located near the entrance to the Site Alpha. Near the lake you will probably come across Yao Guai. There are two clues, one of them (Jackson's Notes) is in the hut and another one (Page From Dr. Frank's Journal) lies on the ground next to a stream that flows into the lake.
A pair of hikers were found mauled by an unknown animal in Monongah. A hermit spotted the creature where the stream feeds into the lake.
Go up the stream. Along the way you will find some clues - bones.
You will probably also come across a legendary Yao Guai - Son of Fluffy.
The animal den is located near the lake from which the stream flows.
A pair of hikers were found mauled by an unknown animal in Monongah. Following the trail of the creature, I've come upon a disappointingly ordinary bear den.
Three clues: Skeleton, Dr. Frank's Journal, and Dead Mutated Bear are in the den. The last clue (Last Page from Dr. Frank's Journal) is on the other side of the lake.
An zoologist named Dr. Frank experimented on bears, somehow creature that was part bear and part cow. It escaped and killed some hikers, leaving behind strange evidence that confused local authorities. Dr. Frank tracked the creature, which had named Fluffy, to a den where it killed him. By all appearances Fluffy survived for more years after the radiation made him more like a Yao Guai. Eventually he was killed by a settler with a crossbow.
