How to start the Yeti clue hunt
Starting the Yeti clue hunt is simple, as you just need to wait for a text message from Tanner.
Tanner will ask if you’re a hunter, then tell you about “something in the woods” that nearly killed him. Of course, this is the yeti, and your mission is to head to the Chiliad wilderness, find it, and take it down.
GTA Online Yeti clue map & locations
There are five clues you need to find first, but thankfully, they’re all close together.
They are all found inside the Chiliad Mountain State Wilderness section of your map, up at the top-left of the island. Four of the clues can be found close to the road, with one down by the shore beside the river.
Finding them shouldn’t be too difficult as a noise that sounds like a distorted heartbeat plays every time you get close to one. Still, I’ve marked them all on the map below, and taken screenshots of each one so you know what you’re looking for.
Car Wreck
The first clue is a car that has crashed, or been flipped over, underneath a bridge. How it actually got there is unclear, but if I had to guess, our Yeti friend likely had a big hand in this.
Body parts
Next, you’re looking for a fallen tree. Jump out of your vehicle, walk over, and you will find a head, a hand, and some other body parts, which I can’t quite tell what they are, sitting in a nice little pile. The Yeti is clearly tearing people apart, but at least he’s tidy about it.
Dead deer
Next up, we have a dead deer, which is the clue down beside the river. Walk down the cliffs, and along the riverside, and you’ll come across it pretty easily.
Bloodied tent
Perhaps belonging to the owner of the crashed car and the severed head, the fourth clue is a tent that is splattered with blood. It’s at the crossroads inside the Chiliad wilderness, so it’s easy enough to find.
Ripped shirt
This was the most difficult clue to find. At the crossroads with the tent, take the road that heads north until you stumble across another car wreck. On the floor, beside the burned-out vehicle, is a torn shirt with blood on it.
Unfortunately, the shirt is white, so it’s a bit hard to find, but if you were sitting in the car driving it, the shirt can be found at the front-right wheel, close to the drains.
How to beat the Yeti and unlock Yeti outfit in GTA Online
To unlock the Yeti outfit for yourself, you need to kill the Yeti. This great white creature will spawn once you have interacted with all five clues, and let me tell you: It packs a punch.
In fact, I died twice trying to defeat this beast. The first time, I truthfully didn’t take the interaction too seriously, pulled out a rifle, and fired a couple of bullets. Unfortunately, bullets don’t really slow the Yeti down, so it just charged at me, and beat me up for 20 seconds before finishing me off.
The second time, I used a shotgun but didn’t dodge one of its attacks. When it hits you, it just charges straight after you, not giving you time to get up and reset.
The third time, I first fired an RPG at it, then switched to the shotgun for the rest of the fight. Make sure to have your armor on, and make sure you’re dodging out of the way of its attacks.

Once you have finally defeated it, and I mean finally as it can take a hell of a lot of punishment, the Yeti outfit will be added to your wardrobe, and you can equip it by returning to your apartment and selecting it. You also get $10,000 for every clue you find and $50,000 for defeating the Yeti, so there’s $100,000 you can add to your bank account too.
