What does fighting a watcher feels then?

Except the Thunderjaw has big vulnerable parts compared to the tiny Watcher eye

There's a joke here 🤣

@@danteee43 you meant forbidden joke

u mean u cant make lava rain from the sky?

It's not lava. They are billions of nanomachines superheated to the point that they glow red. The Fireclaw sends tunneling torpedos of them under you, and they explode upwards and rain down on you. I hate this btw. My favorite attack is the Behemoth's levitation ability, and how it's canisters open as it uses it.

D. E. Bodiford where did you read that

Jochem Braad In the game, several of the Data point articles reveal how the machines are made with nanobots. It says that they use their nanobots to defend themselves in different ways.

@@DA_BOID that's some next level iron man shit

Lmaooooo exactly how that shit felt lmao

It's been my way to play this game generally lol. It's slower ofc but easier that way.

I totally understand, Rockbreakers, Frost Claws and Firclaws requires camping

This is my strategy as well! It takes a while but its safer hahaha

That’s some straight cheese

Sanyam Malhan not gonna lie, after I tear blasted the daemonic rockbreakers drills, I knocked the shit out of it. Easy kill. The only machine I completely struggle with is the fireclaw. Frostclaws are easy.

I definitely found that fighting these guys outside the cauldron was so much easier because you had more room to move, more time to prepare because you could lose them behind rocks, in grass etc. I probably died 6 or 7 times on UH in the cauldron but when I went after the 5 wild fireclaws, I managed things a lot better. Though, you also had the advantage of overriding at least one of them in a location, and other machines around to help you fight, too. It was actually pretty fun after my frustrating experience in the cauldron!

Last cauldron fight against the fire claw took me about 10 tries. Just beat the game today and now it’s cake taking on any of these machines. I’m hyped for the next horizon

@@Thedreamer20015 dude i hear ya i am too. I cant wait for the new one. I beat the game like a year after it came out.

Ventus S except for DS, you dont have to worry about aiming at the proper points.

I used.......sooooooo many resources..

Even more annoying when you use the ropecaster in just stands up and brushes them off like it's saying "really you thought that would work?" Uh yeah it worked on everything else in the game.

Kazataca That is so true, I was playing Ultra Hard Mode with the blue rarity weapons and when I got to the mission of the 3 frostclaws man I died like a thousand times until I finally manage to beat it. It wasn't a very fun experience, but a welcome challenge.

They're actually quite fun to fight with, for me.

And they are often accompanied with other demonic machines which you can't override to fight alongside you. It's fun to use tear ammo and take of Stormbird's stuff so it can't do anything than just fly in front of you. Or remove Thunderjaw's tail and guns.

Leaving the frozen wilds and coming back to thunder jaw storm bird territory was like being on a vacation

I felt so at first to, but I came to like them. The other machines are easy if you figured out how they work especially with good weapons. Even on Ultra hard, shoot 3 Sharpshoot arrows in the belly of a trampler and boom, he burnes to death all alone. "ropecast" Thunderjaw or Stormbird and attack heavy weapons and then freeze them and take them down with explosives. Machines sensitive to fire are even in Ultra hard so done if you already carry the forgefire with three modslots (mine has 285 damage and 110 fire). BUT the new ones... They force the player to search for other ways to kill them. I've watched a few let's player and many player came to a point where they just hide and work with explosive wires and the blast sling. That works if you take your time on ANY machine, even in ultra hard. So even I was frustrated too, I am glad that Frozen Wilds provides a new challenge. Now while I try "out of the forge" on ultra hard I am glad that no one makes me do that (except myself). Yesterday I died until I was so done ;) Now I killed the first one and now I am out of wire and looking for an alternative to alternate ropecaster and icerail until it can't burn me anymore and take it down with arrows after that :)

I have played through this game 2.5 times and today i learned you can have 3 arrows readied on standby in multiple bows this is going to change the entire way i play

my personal method is run around avoiding every attack and shoot an arrow when I can 😂

Tlot Pwist TWO? I faced three of them 😭. Took so much work

ねこCat Ultra Hard isnt actually that hard. Trust me, played Normal, Hard then UH

Brent Kollmansberger I played meduim then UH

Yeah that's what I'm doing. Getting my trophies on Normal, then my NG+ will go straight to UH

Likeicare usewe good luck killing the DLC enemies especially the fireclaw. why you spoiling all the good stuff before you get to it lol

When I posted that comment I already beat the DLC, and was just grinding out the remaining trophies, don't worry I was spoiler free when I fought these bastards lol

The trick in beating is attacking its joint like he did. You can use rope caster and freeze bombs to make him stay in a place so that you can get the accurate shot to do major damage. Be careful, don’t miss it. Since the window is small.

Same thing happened to me it was just laying there.

@@vatossureno at least it's a useful glitch you get the easy kill. I died countless times I kept running around, I tried every weapon I had, but still had no idea how to kill Fireclaw. But somehow i managed to kill it.

@@beastmotoz The thing is, the feeling of defeating it with your own strategy is different from winning it because of a glitch.

Are you sure it was a glitch? There are freeze canisters in the arena that can freeze spice yogi

Aratok and Orrea are fighting at the same time. Aratok has a Stormslinger and so is doing the shocking. Orrea has the Icerail so is doing the freezing. If your approach is to use the Rope Caster, their attacks undo the ropes faster, which is annoying, but I finally got through Epsilon by just rope casting and letting the siblings do the damage. Had no wire left when I was done though! Lol

10 months lates, but for those curious, on UH tearblast arrows literally do nothing. You're better off with using precision arrows.

I hate wire on ultrahard mode because you run out easily and make it harder to collect from a mercent. I prefer the sharpshooter bow because of its ability to hit specific spots with more heavy damage than a striker bow. Fireclaws are no joke when it comes to being set on health and endurance. It's as awful from a range as it is being up close and personal, which is a really bad idea to do with it in general. Have to learn how to dodge this monster. I still didn't even learn how to correctly dodge the attacks of a scorcher.

For fireclaw i usually just use my shock arrows to shoot one of his power cell to stun him and than use my x3 hardpoint arrow either x3 precision arrow to hit all of his Explosive components and when the stun effect is almost gone try to repeat the step until he is dead. Another advise is try learn to dodge fireclaw attack will help a lot in this fight. As for frostclaw if i not mistaken he have something cover his two power cell that you need to use tearblast arrow to break it before you can shoot your shock arrow to his power cell. Overall the same process. Shoot power cell for stun and than shoot every of his explosive components for huge damage but try to stay a bit far from him as the explosive components explode will deal aoe damage.

Finish the DLC story. One is the final boss, and then a final (optional) mission appears where you have to clean up the mess you made. Also, there are two in the DLC hunting grounds.

There's an option to toggle headgear off

@@aerdn6789 Hell yeah! Now I can see Aloy's beautiful hair every time I play!

Ropecaster, Ropecaster, Ropecaster. Make sure you have enough wire, tie him down, bombard with blast bombs/hardpoints, rinse, repeat.

Rivers I made it, it's actually pretty easy with the rope caster even on ultra hard, but damn my resources are down now and I still have to beat two of them :-/

The key is that they didn't run away from it. They rolled under it instead. That stops their attack sequence. If you run away they just keep coming at you.

U haven’t fought the fire law yet lol put the thunderjaw second dude cause the fireclaw is legit from fucking hell. That thing is such a problem lol

@@kingsakie132 pretty sure I popped a blood vessel from stress fighting 2 😅

Focus on the weak points target the weak points fireclaw are a big big problem I played on ultra hard I swear it took me so god damn long. I didn’t have ice anything when I played either just my bow and those bombs it was nightmare for me. I say get ice arrows and ice rail and target the weak points and u will be fine and use the rope caster if u can

Aratak tells/gives you an errand or side quest where you have to kill 5 fireclaws(after completing cauldron EPSILON), then where the fireclaws were there would be a fireclaw site.

yes. go to the same area where you killed the claws beneath, there will always be a fireclaw there after you beat the claws beneath.

Это очень смешно, чувак.

Gary Hall It's a special bow that does charge attack

New Game Plus

Normal? Lol ultra hard is the way

It's okay to lie But be smart

Actually there is, they’re called ghostlevels. I saw a guy on level 146 because he keeps playing it

Robert Phillips there actually are. They are called Ghost level by Guerrilla. The game keeps advancing your levels, just without any benefit.

So elements wont damage him ? Like freeze him and then hit the weak spots because I barely use ropecaster. Mostly Precision arrows and Tearblast

Just tie him with 1 eope with any ropecaster and enjpy!

rope enjoy*

@@beastmotoz That is also a good tactic! But you decide what tactic u use!

@@kristinerachelverueda3145 I'll try with my Ropecaster, tearblast wont work because Fireclaw doesn't have any other exposed parts, like you can shoot off Thunderjaw Dics launcher or other parts.

What outfit is that?

@@ThotsAndPrayers This is the Nora Silent Hunter Master outfit. You can buy it with bluegleam from one of the frozen wilds merchants.

I use the banuk chieftain armor, I was able to get 3 15 percent stealth mods, so its still great for stealth and I get the health regen

NewGame+.

It depends what mods you have on your bow, where you hit him (armor weakened or not as well), and then a roll of the dice by the game. I’ve gotten over 400 on a hit before, though my average is about 200 points.

@@NOLAgenX i will try again with perfect build - just need to see fireclaw again .

Poorly designed? It was purposely designed to be the hardest robot in the game.

@@NOLAgenX man... it's the frozen version with boosted HP

Konrad Styczek not just that. It’s also mire armored and more aggressive than the frostclaw. It is much easier to remove armor pieces from the vital areas on a frostclaw.

I liked fighting this thing. Intense. Not sure what's poorly designed. Maybe that just means hard.

It's the ng+ bow

Tom Martin not true. I'm playing on hard but turned health bars off in settings.

elmartin your comment makes no sense in context. Try again.

I have the adept striker bow that you buy in NG+, it has 4 slots: Untested weapon coil (51 damage, 35 tear, 35 fire) Damage coil (44 damage, 15 handling) Pristine weapon coil (51 damage, 35 tear, 47 handling) Handling coil (61 handling, 23 damage, 16 fire)

cherngbutter where do you get that prestige weapon coil I have all the other ones

How do you get four modification slots? I have only three in banuk powershot bow.

Escapistier, you have to be in New Game +, I believe, to get the 4 modification slots. The weapon uses Adept in the title in New Game +

Sounds like it's way easier on NG+ then lol. Especially with that adept bow with extra mod slot. I play on ultra hard on just a regular playthrough and it takes like at least 10 minutes to down a fireclaw. Yours seemed to take less damage too though that's obviously not possible. Didnt think to roll forward under his legs tho. Good strat.

Alex Dewayne before

What did they do in the patch? Havent loaded this up in like a year

lisquidsnake have u found one yet? i stuggle to find one either...

lisquidsnake I found a couple one is in the entrance to the frozen wilds on the climb up just keep searching the main trail it's not off trail but there are extensions to the main trail so pretty much just never take the first trail you see just jeep following it and only go up when you absolutely have too

Frozen wilds updates

Bantei Chyne that's not true. You can turn it off in settings.

stephen shaddox it seems too easy to me to but I mean the pause screen at the end of the video shows it's on ultra hard.

Ik im too late but... 2:17

I agree, the damage the weapons are hitting are are way off. He was hitting this thing with it unfrozen for higher amounts than I was hitting it at frozen. There is either some very strange modification stuff going on or this is total BS

@@gumbilicious1 yup I just beat the fireclaws on ultra hard and I did about half this damage. I tied it down then froze it. Then attacked. Or tied it down and hit those power cores on it's butt with the electric arrows to stun it then I whooped on em some more.

It is, he shows it in the settings at the end of the video.

@@EndellionQT but Ultra Hard doesn't have aiming assist like crosshair. so the videos are not even on very hard.
