Objective approach
No per-difficulty item manifest is recorded for this guide. Follow the on-screen tracker, then use the notes below to decide what to stage before committing to the final hand-in.
- Read the objective tracker after every major interaction; many ICARUS prospects reveal the next step only after the current one completes.
- Stage resources at the hand-in or build site before triggering final timers, wildlife waves, or extraction travel.
- If the guide has a manifest above, build the Hard list first when possible; it covers lower-difficulty planning and avoids under-packing.
- Keep the return route open. A finished objective still fails the run if the crew cannot safely reach the dropship or delivery pod.
Preparation
- Start with a bedroll, campfire or shelter kit, oxygen and water storage, bandages, splints, and enough food to cover the full route.
- Assign one player to navigation and one to resource accounting so the crew does not duplicate long hauls or miss a delivery line.
- Use the loadout list below as the minimum kit, then add mission-specific tools before launch.
Hazards and controls
- No special hazard is recorded, so default to storm shelter, wound treatment, spare tools, and enough ammunition for unexpected predators.
- Long travel remains the risk: mark caves, water, and emergency shelter locations as you move.
Execution checklist
- Before drop: confirm prerequisite unlocks, mission timer, loadout, and who carries shared deployables.
- On landing: locate water, set a respawn point, and confirm the first objective marker before building a permanent base.
- Mid-run: consolidate loot and mission items at one marked cache; keep one repair kit and medical stack on each player.
- Before extract: verify every optional delivery, reward unlock, and follow-up objective is complete before leaving orbit-side cargo behind.

Walkthrough
The Final Hunt. Confront and defeat the Rimetusk Matriarch — the largest and most powerful enzyme-enhanced Ice Mammoth. A brutal arctic boss fight in extreme conditions.
This is the climactic conclusion of the Rimetusk Great Hunt chain. The Rimetusk Matriarch is the most dangerous creature in this chain, featuring:
- Massively increased health pool compared to regular specimens
- Unique attack patterns not seen in earlier chain missions
- Environmental hazards in the boss arena
- Potential for multiple combat phases
Preparation - Bring your best gear. Tier 4 weapons and armor at minimum; Tier 5 strongly recommended.
- Stack food buffs. Maximum health, stamina regeneration, and damage bonuses make a significant difference.
- Bring healing consumables. Bandages, healing salves, and anti-venom (if applicable) are essential.
- Build a forward base nearby. Place a bedroll and basic crafting station near the boss arena for respawn safety.
- Co-op is recommended. The Final Hunt bosses are balanced for multiplayer. Solo kills require exceptional gear and skill.
