Edit: When I do the math at 7:50 for the triple notch damage penalty, I should have used 0.7 as the multiplier instead of 0.3. Hopefully that didn’t trip anyone up 🙂 Edit 2: I misspoke about Long Range, Close Range, and High Ground coils. Those coils only increase impact damage, not elemental buildup or tear.

A great trick I want to share that i've been using alot even early on in my 1st playthrough is slide silent striking. I found out that while you are sliding you don't seem to draw any more attention to yourself than if you crouch walk, this is great for both getting some distance before someone fully notices you or aggressively closing the distance for a stealth attack. Do note that since you technically need to sprint to activate a slide you may want to do this from a slight distance to avoid the sprint noise, especially if your not use to executing this technique.

Love this video for so many reasons. First is your teaching style: You are just a genius not only in finding all that stuff but even more in explaining it with few, we’ll structured words. Listening to your explanations makes me chill and want to know more at the same time :D Second are the insights: I love the sliding mechanic more than anything (already since zero dawn, but they made it soo much more powerful - love it). And I already was kind of confused that you didn’t mention the quick draw mechanic of sliding in earlier video. But now you did make a video about it and I have to realise that I am just like John Snow and know nothing. I had no clue whatsoever that sliding gives you invincibility frames as well and now you even tell me it’s more than for rolling. I am baffled. Same for the triple notch. They felt off compared to zero dawn and now I know why. You are great. Third is the community I know of no other content creator who is so eager to reply to his viewers in such a positive way and in return was able to build such a great community. Scrolling through the comments became one of my favourite hobbies and I really feel amidst kindred souls here. And forth is just the love for the game that you radiate in every of your videos. it mirrors my own attitude towards the game and I have been looking for someone like you all over the Internet. So glad I found you, please keep it up! Btw: Just ordered the strategy guide even though you probably listed all relevant knowledge already :P

Again, your information is incredible. I’m still very much a story mode type of player (I’m a 52 year old guy) and HZD and HFW are truly my first full blown rpgs that I’ve made any progress in without getting overwhelmed. I played Breath of the Wild and Fenyx Rising on Switch, but I hit a wall on BotW after a while and Fenyx was really tame. I’ve tried Witcher 3, but again I get overwhelmed, especially since I love the Netflix shows so much. With HZD, I truly felt like I was not only playing a game but also making use of skills and mechanics. HFW is so next level and being invested in the HZD story line, I love the continuation and deeper nuances. Your explanations are so nuanced that it truly wants me to become better player and even replay HZD at higher levels. Quick question: do you play the strike mini games? I found the tutorials complex. Maybe I just need to find a better explainer video.

Awesome Michael! Glad you're enjoying these games. Gaming is ageless and that's one of the things I love about it. I know of at a least a couple people in their 70s who follow my channel and play Horizon! As for machine strike, I have indeed played it. My best tip is to buy the Fireclaw piece from the Raintrace Hunting Grounds carver and pair it with a few low level pieces to use as bait. Then bait the opponent wit the low level pieces and finish them off with the Fireclaw!

There are wayyyy better ones out there than horizon. If it's the open world that you really love, Witcher 3 comes to mind. W3 is much much better than this game in terms of core combat and story/voice acting. HZD had horrible voice acting, particularly in side quests. HFW does seem much improved though, can give it that.

Fantastic video yet again! Thanks for the deep dive into the mechanics of the game. I have started using the slide-draw technique with the ropecaster to get a quick tie-down. When I played this game on normal difficulty, my favorite weapon was the sharpshot bow. Now that I play on very hard, I use the shredder gauntlet or freeze/boltblaster combo based on what I learned from your other videos. I find myself using the shock shredders as my go-to because they can immobilize the machine and rip it apart with ease. It’s also very cheap resource-wise. Your circling technique helped me get much better at catching the shredders which maximizes my damage output. Your weapon coil video helped me find the best ones for each weapon type, again boosting my damage. By taking advantage of game mechanics and modifiers, you’ve helped me get the most out of every scenario. That is very important - especially on the higher difficulty setting. After fighting a monster with a shredder, the area looks like a scrapyard with all of the destroyed and ripped apart pieces strewn about. It’s pretty funny to see! I used to run low on volatile sludge all of the time because of my reliance on one weapon type. Now I rarely run low on anything and I sell off extra stuff for shards. Thanks again for your invaluable insights!

Awesome video as usual Artix. I hope you don't mind if I share a tip of my own: Due to the awesomeness of the quick draw mechanic while sliding, you don't need to coil your ropecaster with any draw speed coils. Simply coil it with 3 reload speed coils for maximum efficacy with regular rope-casts (which cost 1 volatile sludge per 6 casts) and penetrating rope (which only costs stamina.

I still believe in inflicting the Elemental state BEFORE roping the machine down, as the stagger animation from triggering an Elemental state gives you just enough time to fully rope down even large machines before they have a chance to do anything. This ensures that the Rope state doesn't degrade at all and lets you do full damage with your Elemental arrows.

Hi, it's me! I finished Horizon ZD..twice ha Love it as my very first video game. Just loaded Horizon FW yesterday so looking forward to your videos to help me again. Most of this is above me right now but I liked the slide/dodge and quick draw info to start. Gonna watch a lot of your videos. Since the controller was new to me, etc., I didn't realize I had to "push" down on L to get a sprint in HZD, so it was way into the level 30's before I discovered it and figured out how to slide. ha Next time, I'll email my questions sooner...it would have saved me a lot of frustration. This game looks pretty hard but I just finished the intro (& your Part 1) so am so hyped to get playing! Thank you for all your info, couldn't play without it.

Hi! Glad to hear from you! And congrats on finishing HZD! Yeah this video was kind of some advanced tips, but I have lots of others you can look through to get started! Quick tip right now: In Forbidden West, there’s a setting to turn auto sprint on so you don’t have to push the stick down!

Great video. One hidden mechanic which has carried over from HZD is that a machine's eyes are a weak spot. Not sure of the damage boost from targeting one of these, but I can comment on the satisfaction boost (especially against Clamberjaws) of a few well-placed shots.
@ArktixOfficial Жыл бұрын
Thanks! And yes good tip! The eyes are typically a 2x multiplier. There are exceptions though. For example, the Burrower eye is 4x. I definitely agree with the satisfaction boost! 😄

@@ArktixOfficial Question: I beat the game on Ultra Hard on NG+ but still can't change the difficulty despite the game saying you can change it after you beat the game; do you know how to change it? Also your strat of freezing a machine then unloading on it with the bolt blaster is the best strat for me; after tying them down with a rope caster first of course. Works every time.
@ArktixOfficial2 жыл бұрын
Glad you like the freeze+boltblaster strat! 😄 And unfortunately, changing difficultly from UH is currently bugged. You are indeed supposed to be able to change it after finishing the main story, but people have not been able to. For now, the only way to change it is to start another NG+. Hopefully they fix it soon. They’ve been doing patches on Thursdays and we haven’t gotten on for a while, so maybe this Thursday if we’re lucky.

@ArktixOfficial2 жыл бұрын
No problem! And good question. Roping a machine down is definitely easier and lasts longer than a knockdown. I guess it's just good to know you have the option for knockdowns. Also, as I showed in my Slaughterspine hunting guide, you can use a knockdown to easily tie down a machine while their stunned.

Awesome video, thanks for sharing these! HFW definitely isn't very clear about its mechanics, but it is fun to experiment. For example, the game will let you stack coils, but each effect seems to have an unseen limit. I'm still trying to figure all that out. I think you talked about this in one of your other videos.
@emmyobinna2 жыл бұрын
This is true. I noticed the same thing myself. It would be nice to know what that limit is, so we can coil weapons better. I wonder if Artix has looked into this.

@@ArktixOfficial on the Death-Seeker hunter bow for example: I try putting enough Shock coils on it to get the status after one shot, but no matter how many I put on there doesn't seem to be any guarantees. And also, the Draw Speed coil seems to cap at 25% because two rare Draw Speed coils seem no better than one. I didn't use a stopwatch, but I did count it out to myself. I haven't tried using common or uncommon coils in conjunction with rares, so I'm not sure if I can get my numbers higher that way.
