Lucio.4190 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 So, I'm at Bitterfrost Frontier doing the LW and I have this event that says I should kick a chicken to get its feathers, then I'm supposed to build a shrine. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Chicken_Feather But, I've heard that bad things happen if you ever kick the chicken. Any advice on how to proceed here? Has anyone got any idea of what the story is with the chicken and developers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raknar.4735 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 ~~Don't~~ worry about the chickens in Bitterfrost Frontier. The ones in Ebonhawke / Fields of Ruin on the other hand.... I'd guess the chicken joke goes back to TLoZ Ocarina of Time, where chickens started attacking you when you hurt one enough times in Kakariko. Since it is a classic, developers tend to introduce something similiar as a homage to TLoZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chickens in Bitterfrost will down you instantly if you kick them too much. There's even an achievement for it. @ OP: To do the heart just kick different chickens, not the same one repeatedly.

Dragon Priestess.9760 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 The chicken will down you, just heal yourself and everything is fine. Plus, you will get a title and an achievement 'chicken chaser' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh god.. I remember those in Ocarina of Time, but didn't know it all started there. Haha! My jaw was like sweeping the floor that day. Thanks! And thanks to all answers here, I'll definitely get that achievement too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Not just Ocarina of Time, it's become a running joke in Zelda games. But also one which has spread to other games too, including GW2. As a result you're definitely not the only one who is wary of any virtual chickens. (Or real chickens for that matter, they can be surprisingly vicious if they want to.) And yeah, to stay safe kick different chickens each time, but it's worth seeing how far you can take it at least once, just to see what happens. After all even death is a pretty minor penalty in this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And thanks to all answers here, I'll definitely get that achievement too. Like @"Danikat.8537" stated, it actually started before OoT. So I was wrong to assume it goes back to OoT. After looking up some sources, _A Link to the Past_ seems to be the Zelda game that introduced the "Cucco revenge squad" (OoT was the 3rd game to have the mechanic). That seems to be the beginning of the ongoing "don't attack/kick chickens"-joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naxos.2503 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 In all circumstances, the answer to that question has always been : Yes. Now can you outrun the consequences of it, that's another question entirely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just a flesh wound.3589 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 You also need to kick one of the Ebonhawke chickens. It’s a rite of passage for all gw2 players and you cannot truthfully call yourself a veteran player until you do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uden Reavstone.3426 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Look at all of you. Scared of chickens when the true threat are rabbits. Example one: the hungry rabbits in Wayfarer Foothills. Example two: https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Nulfastu_Earthbound. Example three: https://youtu.be/TnOdAT6H94s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucio.4190 Posted January 9, 2021 Author Share Posted January 9, 2021 Awsome! I do have a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for creatures like chicken. If it was only the chicken in Bitterfrost, that would have been the end of it - I would not look for them, I would not have pursued them... but if there are some in Ebonhawke now, I will look for them, I will find them... and I will kick them. The rabbits are a bit worse, for them I will need a holy grenade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
