Ah, fireclaws. Of the big enemies of the game, they feel the fairest in terms of bulk, power, and hit boxes. No weirdly delayed hitboxes, no weirdly short health bars, no running around and sniping you with roll-catching ranged attacks before running underground for invulnerable moments. Just a straight up brawl.

As a bonus, once you get the hang of taking these things down with this method, you can reliably farm the Apex variant and start racking up a bunch of Apex Fireclaw hearts. You need a handful to upgrade certain legendary weapons, but you can sell the rest for big shards.

Your setup tips to get the machine roped down is really nice to know. I'll be using that in the future for sure! It seems usable in a lot more situations apart from trying to rope down a machine. I'll think of it in future future fights I'm thinking of putting overdraw coils on the rope caster, but every big machine can be tied down with two overdrawn (fully upgraded) shots, but I like to think it is a usable option maybe I'll try testing it in the future

It's one of those other strategies that work well with other machines once you understand the new rules for the ropecasters in this game; it's a classic. I like to shock the canisters and then freeze them...which is fun, but this strategy is more efficient, creative and safer. Thanks for putting in the work, man!

Love your videos. Your strategy definitely helps for the Apex. I have a different strategy for the regular fireclaw, which to me is easier to beat. I put it into the brittle stage right away and the unload my boltblaster. Afterwards i use a smoke bomb and get behind and use its shock canister to put it into shock stage and use a warrior bow to unload it on the leg area where there's no armor. Warrior is easier and fast to use and won't worry about consuming expensive materials. Once the shock meter is about to run out, I shoot another shock canister so it goes immediately back into the shock stage and repeat with the warrior bow. I use burst shot since its more precise on hitting where I want to. When I run out of canisters to shoot, I smoke bomb and repeat first step. Brittle stage and then boltblaster. By this time, I kill it without it ever fighting back. Works every time for me. I play on Ultra Hard so it can work for anyone. But your strategy definitely works for Apex version.

Oh man, I was having *so* much trouble hunting Fireclaws until this. I was using your other favorite go-to, the Ancestor's Return, and it was just *not* working. The discs kept missing, or hitting trees, or I couldn't maneuver enough to catch them, and I just ended up missing shots (and when they did land, the tear damage almost always blew up the giant blaze canister, losing the webbing). As always, your guides are a lifesaver.

You absolute legend! This really helped me to take down a fireclaw easy to get the sac webbing. Before I was grinding for ages on a single kill and still not getting the sac webbing. Playing on ultra-hard, used "the tie that binds" rope caster, "the sun scourge" for frost arrows, and "eternal vengeance" bolt blaster. It only took three rounds of tying down, freezing, and blasting to kill the beast, and I forgot to use valor surge on the first two, so maybe it could have been done in two rounds. I'm taking more of a laid back approach by the way, not so much for dodging. I hit and run on this thing. Just to the west of the campfire, there is a pond where you can dive down. Usually the fireclaw loses track of you there and goes back to his business quite fast. You can sometimes get hit if it uses the lava ability under water, but it doesn't happen a lot. Thanks for all the tips man, on this and many other videos. I'm gonna go bag myself a couple more fireclaws.

Nice guide! I found a rebel Fireclaw in the north and while the Frostclaws in the area were relatively easy to kill even in very hard, that Fireclaw was insane with my mostly half upgraded blue gear at that stage of the story. It took as long as a full Apex Thunderjaw to even get it to half life and even after doing that, I had to run away and the entire area reset because I ran a little too far. At least I still had the knowledge on how to avoid his attacks from the first game. Your guide helped me take it down way more easily. It took 4 rounds of tying it down and I had to hide between round 2 and 3 to reset aggro and kill some of the rebels that went poking their nose around because I have blue weapons that aren't even fully upgraded and I hadn't used the weapon technique yet so I didn't know it kind of locked your aiming so I couldn't target the stuff on his back at first but it was still way faster and easier than whatever I was doing before, especially when I got the hang of the weapon technique by the end.

One of the things I do is, instead of running toward the fireclaw, I get in the trees and use them to take the throw damage. The fireclaw can't charge me without getting stopped by a tree. But it also makes escape from the minor volcano attacks it sends a bit difficult. If you can stay aware of your surroundings and dodge trees as you escape, you "should" be fine (with a double tap roll-away).

One of the easiest big machines to kill honestly. Freeze, then rope, then unload on the buttox w Sustained Burst = Dead Fireclaw :) Good strategy shown here, although you absolutely should have froze it first before roping, and use the stun time from the freezing to rope it. This will also prolong the time the roping lasts.
@ArktixOfficial2 жыл бұрын

Hey Arktix thanks sooo much for this!! I’m late on playing the game but I was stupid and did a first ply through on UH. But this method work great on that difficulty I found. If I could add something to your method, I found myself being low on weapon stamina when I had tied down and frozen the fireclaw late in the fight. I found that freezing him (without tying him down) and throwing drill spikes into his legs is great for getting Crits (which recharges your valor very quickly) and of course does double damage WHILE triggering a knockdown on him! Helped me kill him with three rounds of this added into your method. Thanks again!!! Really was hurting for that sac webbing lol

@@ArktixOfficial thanks!! And never would’ve even come across the drill spikes if I hadn’t watched this. They’re dang near a cheat code lol

👌 I subscribed after watching this one video. BTW first time I fought this fireclaw it fell over and got stuck between two trees and I killed it with my spear. It literally just lay there forever. Super lucky. 👌

Awesome! Thanks a lot for your sub! And lol that's funny. I have noticed the Fireclaws will glitch out sometimes. There's something weird going on with them and the knockdown mechanic. Sometimes you can make them stay down forever. Anyway, yeah that was lucky!

Awesome advice. Even after watching the video I couldn't seem to immobilize the beast. The thing I missed was the sliding-tie-down. That really makes a difference. Also you don't want to miss the opportunity to stab him when he's knocked over. Once I got him pretty destroyed, even though my second pass was a flop with tie downs while he was dancing around, I was able to use drill spikes and position myself behind some foliage and get him close to the end, then polish him off with frost and impact.

This is a similar but different way of taking down these bad boys that I use. I tend to use advanced shock arrows on the Sun Scourge to shock him place then use the delta sharp shot to start taking canisters off of him. When he starts to get up quickly spam a smoke bomb then hit him again with shock arrows to start tearing the canisters that are further up his back between his shoulders. Rinse and repeat until he's down , never forgetting the smoke bombs. It's not an efficient way of doing it but it's fun. I might try your method as I continue my NG+.

Glad your channel is getting more subs and views. You 100% deserve it man. Another quick question please; does critical damage affect elemental status build up and tear?
@ArktixOfficial2 жыл бұрын
Thanks Emeka! And no, critical damage only increases the strength of a critical hit. Critical hits are only possible for impact damage, so a critical damage coil will only increase impact damage, specifically impact damage dealt with a critical hit. I hope that makes sense.

If you have a good shock bow you stun lock the non-apex versions with their canisters, on normal this is usually enough time to kill them.

Yup shocking them can be great too!

A note on frostclaws: It works great to tie them down like in this video, but for frostclaws it's better to explode the shoulder sac instead of the weak spot on the behind with the sustained burst. That's because it's the only way to achieve a brittle state except exploding the main sac, which you will need the webbing from.
