Once you’ve left the facility and have the full map available to you, you’ll be able to seek out the animals. Each one is relatively easy to get to, so if you like to collect all the achievements or trophies in a game, it’s a nice trophy to be able to chalk off early. Because once you have spoken to each of the dead animals below, you’ll receive the Beast Friend achievement.

Talking Dead Chicken location

The talking dead chicken can be found a little to the southeast of Testing Ground 11 (marked 1 on the map image above), near the bridge. You’re looking for a tree to the left of the save hub, and you’ll know you’re in the right place by the pool of blood.

Talking Dead Cow location

To find the talking dead cow, you’re going to need to be on the opposite side of the lake from the Boat Station in Testing Ground 6. The cow is in the middle of the field there, southwest across the lake from it (map marker 2 above).

Talking Dead Pig location

You’ll need to be almost equidistant between Training Grounds 10 and 2 to find the Talking Dead Pig (marked 3 on our map above). Head east from TG10 or southwest from TG2, looking for a cabin surrounded by a broken fence. The pig is by the haystack.
