    Unable to obtain all 8 Ivory Keys on the PS4

    I have looked through this forum and have seen many posts from people having problems getting all 8 Ivory keys. Unfortunately, I am having the same problem. I have 7 of the 8 keys. If I understand how all of this works, there are eight ciphers, with each cipher area dropping one key. There are free roaming Hunters that are generated and if you kill one of these Hunters, they will drop a mask, if you don’t have all 12 masks, but they will not drop a Ivory key.

    The problem I am having is with the cipher that is located in the East Mall - USDA Contaminated Zone. This cipher is the one where you shoot a bunch of windows and upon completion a Hunter will spawn. Unfortunately, even though I have tried many combinations the Hunter will not spawn. I have watched various YouTube videos and have tried those combinations as well as trying my own combinations and nothing has worked. Most of these attempts were done in the day and some were done at night. It is my understanding that this cipher can be done day or night.

    I found out the other day from watching another YouTube video that the yellow tail lights on the truck where you stand to shoot the window panes will start flashing. I had a friend of mine spawn into my instance and we went to the contaminated zone and began shooting the window panes. When we shot the first window with a rifle the yellow tail lights on the truck began to flash. When we shot the last window pane (13th window pane) the yellow tail lights stopped flashing. I am assuming that means the sequence was done correctly, however the Hunter did not spawn.

    If we deliberately shot an incorrect window pane the yellow tail lights would go out and the red and white tail lights would light up and stay on for about 2 seconds before turning off. These tail lights would not blink and once again I am assuming that this indicates that the sequence was done incorrectly. One other weird note about the tail lights. If I shot the window panes while playing solo the yellow tail lights would not blink even if I shot the correct window pane to start the sequence. My friend tried the same test, he went into the game solo, shot the window pane and the yellow tail lights did not start blinking. I don’t know if this means that you have to be in a group to get this cipher to work or if it is just simply a bug and the cipher solution if performed correctly will still generate the Hunter.

    Thank you for taking the time to reply to my problem. Hopefully, it is something that can be fixed in the next patch, either via client or server side.

    I had this issue too, tried multiple ways of doing it as per YouTube vids & reddit and none of them worked until I did it this way --

    It seems like my world was bugged as the lights would not flash at all for me. I had to join someone elses world via matchmaking for Freeroam, wait until night time (After 21:00) even though most guides say it doesn't matter and then shoot as per the below:



    This was the only way that spawned him for me. Hope it helps

    JDMStav thanks for taking the time to give me an additional way to try. I will follow your advice and give it a try as soon as I can. Thanks again.

    JDMStav, I bow before your greatness. You essentially gave me the last piece of the puzzle, which allowed me to get my 8th and final Ivory key. The key piece of your information, pardon the pun, was to matchmake into Freeroam. My guess was that either something in my connection to the game or in my server side data was not allowing me to spawn the Hunter. Since my friend had the same problem I did and the fact that other players were able to get the Hunter to spawn at the East Mall location meant that a percentage of the players would more than likely be “glitched” and a percentage would not be “glitched”

    This meant that it was probably going to take multiple attempts to get the Hunter to spawn in order to get a large enough sample size to determine if the suggestion that JDMStav made would work or not. There was another variable as well. There are two methods I have seen in various YouTube videos that will spawn the Hunter. I am going to refer to JDMStav screenshot above as Method 1 and the screenshot below as Method 2.



    My plan was to matchmake into Freeroam 5 times and use Method 1, then if that didn’t work matchmake 5 times into Freeroam and use Method 2 in order to try and get the Hunter to spawn. I was going to repeat this process 4 times for each method so that it would give me a sample size of 20 attempts for each method. The first 5 attempts using Method 1 all failed. Each time Method 1 failed I would jump off the truck and get behind it and shoot the window pane labeled 1 to see if the yellow tail lights would come on. They never did on any of the 5 attempts.

    Next I matchmaked into Freeroam and tried Method 2. The very first time I tried Method 2 I spawned the Hunter. I killed the Hunter and got my 8th and final key. I went back to the truck and shot the window pane labeled 1 to see if the yellow tail lights would come on. They did not. I don’t know if the yellow tail lights would not come on because I had completed the cipher or because it requires another player's character to actually be standing behind the truck in order to get the lights to come on. Even though I had spawned into Freeroam and there were other players in my “group” none of those player’s character were actually standing near me while I was performing this test.

    The Method 1 that JDMStav suggested did not work for me, however I have seen multiple YouTube videos that have used his suggested method and it spawned the Hunter. I have also seen YouTube videos that have used Method 2 to spawn the Hunter. Also, JDMStav stated that you should wait until night before attempting Method 1, however when I succeeded in spawning the Hunter it was in the daytime. The difference between Method 1 and 2 is that I shoot into 11th window, which has no window pane. Method 1 skips shooting into the 11th window.

    So what does this all mean? It means that for some people Method 1 may work and for some people Method 2 may work. For some people you might have to perform these methods at night or some people might have to perform these methods in the day in order to get the Hunter to spawn. Only Ubisoft knows exactly how the Hunter is supposed to spawn and under what time conditions the spawn can take place. I don’t have an explanation for why there is more than one method to spawn the Hunter.
