As a completionist, I complete everything in a game, as long as it's a game that I am enjoying. I also collect and hoard everything in sight. So, basically I am way more overpowered and overleveled when I reach certain missions, which is how I like it. Horizon: Zero Dawn was amazing, while Horizon: Forbidden West is even better, making it super amazing. Both games received a 10/10 score from me, while my scores are the only ones that matter to me, in my world. Great video, by the way!

the moment you unlock the base, you never need fast travel packs again. you can always travel to your base for free without a pack from anywhere fast travel is allowed, from there, you can freely travel from one fire to another, because when you travel to the base, it will always drop you right next to a fire. Second Chance is easily the best armor perk in the game, because you are right, aloy is squishy, the whole game through. on any difficulty above story, things like a single thunderjaw charge or a single slaighterspine or roller back hitting you with their tail, can possibly one shot you from full health, even at level 50+.(getting sat on by a fireclaw, oof...) If you are on the PC version, one of the armors comes with second chance from level 1, if not, you will have to wait until you can either get the utaru ritesinger or utaru protector armor to get it. but dont worry too much, there are foods which also give the perk temporarily, if you have a tough fight and need a different armor for a specific type of defense. Machine muscle, echo shells, volatile sludge are always super hard to keep in stock, especially if you love tearblast arrows. i recommend crafting up all your arrows/ammo, taking a large potion, THEN restocking from stash or refilling supplies from a vendor between quests.

10000 berries??!?! damn, i gotta up my game. the most berries in my stash is 1k and that's combining all 3 of my accounts. Also, I love that even after 1000+ hours in HZD, and 700+ in HFW, I still learn something from your vids. I didn't know Scroungers have indicators that they have full processed blocks! Amazing work as always.

Glad you were able to pick up a new tip! I actually learned that one myself not too long ago.

Really like how it centers around archery instead of a hack and slash type start. Alot of games 🎮 make you work for your bow from the start. My 3rd comment lol, goin to play now thanks again 😊🎮👍

While Arena Gear is hard to get, the same Vendor sells Gear for Hunting Ground Medals, which is very easy to get, and a good way to get an early reliable Boltblaster for example. How to sort the inventory would have been nice too after shocking with the unsorted one :-) Heavy Attack to Knockdown Light Machine, and Power Attack for medium machines is also another trick, if knowns and learned early is really helpful.

Did I show the inventory unsorted at some point? Whoops. And yes, good point that you can get the Hunting Grounds Medal items. I think a lot of players find the Hunting Grounds difficult/frustrating as well though.

You can also create a Job for finding the Greenshine you need... This will take you to a lot of places tho... but it makes getting Greenshine for upgrades a lot easier...

Only thing I'd say is for the part with Regalla to be forgiving first and get the outfit. Because if someone is going for 100% the whole game the weapon will count into the achievement for 2nd playthrough 😊

Thanks for the guide! Playing on pc right now. Do you recommend to play HFW on pc with a controller?

@ArktixOfficial 2 ай бұрын

You’re very welcome! Hope you found these tips helpful 😁 I do think a controller is a better default input device for the game, in particular, a DualSense because you get full haptic support when plugged in with a cable, but I’m certainly biased because I’ve played the game for 2 years with a controller haha 😂

In Zero Dawn, you could load multiple arrows on one bow, change to a different one for example to apply an elemental effect, then change back to have the arrows pre- loaded. Can you do the same in FW?

@ArktixOfficial 2 ай бұрын

Yup! You need to unlock triple notch and/or double notch first though.

I think after you finish the main story, they should be a repair on the shield weaver armor so you can use it. or find another in a old relic or something. What would be really cool is configurable weapons, Like the ability to add specific upgrade parts to change a weapons ammo type etc. I want a frost shredder gauntlet dammit lol. SO many cool things could be added to make the game more awesome. Like calling big machines in for backup like storm birds or thunder jaws etc. it would make the game very interesting.

17:26 the hunting merchants do actually restock if you start new game+ though. I’m on my third playthrough at ultra hard (to get the last achievement) and I now have more purple impact dmg 12% than what is initially offered from merchants

@ArktixOfficial 2 ай бұрын

Oh yes definitely. Maybe I should have been more clear and said that they'll never restock until starting a new game+

Upgrade the Vindicator and slap stagger on it and it will be the only big game weapon you will ever need. Throw drillspikes on the legs until the target is staggered and finish with explosive splitting spikes. rinse and repeat

@timothyfloyd3269 2 ай бұрын

the game does teach you about grapple jumping. but like its only mandatory in 1 single segment in the beginning of game so i can see how you forget it. since i learned it i don't think I've ever used it since that 1 moment. cause the game is fun and beautiful but the parkour segments are very handholdy and will glitch out if you try to do anything out of holding left stick.

I would want to watch all the HFW videos but spoilers 😂 But those hint and tips videos are really good for getting better into the game. There is SO much to tweak and learn.

@ArktixOfficial 2 ай бұрын

There is a lot to learn! Yeah I get avoiding spoilers. No worries. I definitely don't spoiler any story points and try to keep other spoilers to a minimum. Hope you can come back to the videos later!

I have more than 70 hours in HFW but I still like watching this type of video. I would like to add a tip for new and existing players alike: if you don't have fast travel packs or want to save them, you may travel to The Base from anywhere on the map at no cost. Near the base, there is a fire camp and you can travel from there where you want. Anyway, I have a question for you: the medicinal pouch (or how it's called the one which holds the medicinal berries), at first it can hold 12 and then 14. Is there a way to increase this number?

@ArktixOfficial 2 ай бұрын

Good tip! Yeah I have that one in another video. You can increase the medicine pouch capacity by upgrading the pouch and unlocking skills.
