    This can be obtained fairly early in the game. In the extreme Northwest area of the Siwa oasis there is a small bandit camp with about five or six enemies. Dispatch them and load one of the bodies onto the back of your mount. Nearby there is a watering hole where there are some leopards. Ride your mount with the body to this area and then dismount and carry the body near one of the predators. Don’t get too close or they’ll attack you! Drop the body off and then run to a nearby bush and hide until the predator gets interested in the corpse and takes a bite – then the achievement is yours!

    EDIT: While a lot of people have had success with the method described above and shown in the video, others haven't been as lucky. That said, there's also been a good number of comments offering alternative approaches that also worked. So, I've gone through the comments that everyone's left and grabbed the helpful stuff for everyone to see in one place.

    If you're struggling with this achievement, try some of these tips from commenters:
    - You can try dropping a corpse at the vulture lair in Siwa (fast forwarding time afterward may then be necessary).
    - If you get spotted / attacked you can drop a smoke bomb and run away and the predator might come back and eat the corpse.
    - In Memphis, there's a crocodile that may wander around and you can leave a corpse in its path.
    - You can use a sleeping dart on a predator and then drop a body on / near the snoozing creature.
    - You can put a corpse on a beach (or near water), provoke a predator to attack you, then swim away into the water and the predator may then eat the corpse.
    - You can place a corpse near a predator and then skip / fast forward time, perhaps several times.
    - You can try shooting the corpse you placed with a regular arrow to see if that triggers the predator's interest.

    Thanks to everyone for sharing what worked for you!

    VjOnItGood81I agree with GhostJohn325. The vulture method is the best method as I dropped any dead body there, used the Dawn & Dusk mechanic to change the day to night and boom the achievement is done.

    DoomScottSuper easy with sleep dart. Got it first try after unsuccessfully trying it many times without using sleep darts.

    So as most people have already said, your objective is to get any predator to chomp down on a corpse. It's possible to leave one close by and then hide until it gets noticed, but this just was no working for me.

    What I found much easier, was to throw a sleep dart at a lone predator, drop a corpse just in front of it and then hide. Once the sleep dart runs out and they wake up, they should take a bite and net you the achievement. This method did take me two tries (the first time, the Croc woke up and ran in the opposite direction for some reason) but after trying something like 10 times with the other method (where either the animal would just notice me and ignore the corpse, or pay no attention to the corpse) I found this way easier.

    Hey guys I found a great alternative solution,

    Approx 650m south east of Karanis on the coastline in the Faiyum region there is a small bandit camp with 3 crocs in a caged area. Kill all the bandits then drop a body into the caged area.

    I couldn't get it to pop with lions or leopards but this method worked in less then 5 min. Cheers.

    Darick 23Thank you thank you thank you! This was the 2nd to last achievement that I got. Tried over 20 times with every predator that I think is in the game. Dropped 5 or 6 bodies into the area, dusk until dawned a few times, and finally....BOOM! Now to jump from that sun dial at the right time...
