Where to Find & Capture the Emu in Death Stranding 2 (Order #33 Guide)

on

 In Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, capturing wildlife isn’t just for fun—it’s a full-on delivery mission! Just like with the kangaroo earlier in the game, Sam now needs to rescue an Emu. But don’t let its goofy appearance fool you—this bird is fast. Here's where to find the Emu, how to capture it, and what to expect during Order #33.

🐦 What Is the Emu Mission in Death Stranding 2?

  • Mission Name: Order #33 – Capture the Emu Resistant to Precipitation

  • Objective: Track down and secure a live Emu, then deliver it safely to the Metagenomicist.

  • Challenge Level: Surprisingly tough—the Emu is skittish, fast, and hard to pin down.

What seems like a simple side delivery quickly becomes a frustrating chase. This isn’t your typical “grab and go” quest!

📍 Where to Find the Emu (Location Guide)

Find & Capture the Emu in Death Stranding 2
To start, open your map and accept Order #33. The Emu’s location will be marked for you—but don’t expect it to sit still and wait for you.

✅ Use Your Scanner (L1)

Once you’re in the marked area:

  • Activate your scanner to detect lifeforms.

  • Look for a creature that resembles a small ostrich—that’s your Emu.

  • It’s usually found wandering in open terrain, near rocky hills or scattered trees.

📝 Pro Tip: Scan repeatedly as you move—it's easy to miss the Emu if you’re not thorough.

🎯 How to Capture the Emu (Fast Method)

Here’s the tricky part: capturing the Emu. You’ll need to close in and press Circle to box it. Sounds simple? It’s not.

❌ What Doesn’t Work:

  • Crouching

  • Holding your breath

  • Removing your backpack

  • Sneaking slowly

We tried it all—and the Emu still spotted us every time.

✅ What Does Work: The Sprint-and-Chase Method

  1. Walk slowly toward the Emu until it notices you and starts running.

  2. Immediately start sprinting after it—don’t waste a second.

  3. Wait for the Emu to turn or veer.

  4. Cut across the turn to intercept it.

  5. When close enough, press Circle to capture it.

If done right, you’ll move faster than the Emu and eventually corner it during a turn.

🚚 Delivering the Emu

Once captured:

  • Load the Emu onto your back or into a vehicle.

  • Deliver it to the Metagenomicist to complete Order #33.

That’s one more strange rescue mission in the bag—and you’re one step closer to uncovering more of DS2’s mysterious world.

💡 Bonus Tips

  • Use terrain traps: Let the Emu corner itself against rocks or inclines.

  • Save before chasing: It’s easy to mess up; saving lets you retry quickly.

  • Keep an eye on stamina: Sprinting eats through it fast—be fully rested before the chase.
