Objectives of The Aftermath of Genesis
1. Follow Charles
Follow Charles until he finds an animal trail and you get off your horses.
Take the bow that's attached to your horse's saddle and equip it.
Use the Eagle Eye ability that will allow you to highlight animal tracks.
2. Hunt for deer
Follow the trail of the deer slowly, try to approach the deer until you have a clean shot, aim the bow and shoot accurately. Usually, when hunting, try to aim at the head or neck, but in this case, even a shot in the body of the animal should be enough to kill the deer with the first arrow.
The further you draw the string back, the more damage your arrow will inflict. Holding it too long will reset your aim.
3. Hunt another deer
Try to get close to another deer without getting noticed.
This time, if you are going for a gold medal, you should aim for the head or neck. You can use the Call button to cause the deer to raise its head, then quickly aim and shoot before the deer realizes what's going on and gets spooked.
Hint: If something goes wrong and the deer runs away and you want to get the gold medal, you can restart the mission from the last checkpoint.
If you miss, the deer will run away a little bit. If you do not kill the deer with the first arrow, the wounded deer will start to run away, but after a while it will fall to the ground. To reduce the suffering of a poor animal you will have to come up to him and finish him with a knife. If you don't, the deer will die anyway.
4. Pick up the deer carcass / Whistle for your horse / Approach the back of your horse / Stow the deer
Pick up the deer carcass, whistle to call your horse and load the deer onto the horse.
5. Mount your horse / Meet up with Charles / Follow Charles
Get on your horse and join Charles, who in the meantime has taken care of the carcass of the first deer you killed. You two are both gonna have a little chat on the way back. At some point you will come across a bear, but you will avoid it at a safe distance.
6. Hitch your horse / Remove the deer / Go to Pearson / Drop the deer
When you get to the camp, hitch the horse, take the deer carcass and carry it to Pearson.
7. Approach the deer carcass / Skin the deer
The last thing you will have to do in this mission is to skin the deer.
After completing The Aftermath of Genesis you will get or will be able to get Who the Hell is Leviticus Cornwall? (1 of 2).
