Both spots that spawn the Stormbird can respawn them quickly. The mountain spot is the fastest farm location since killing the Dreadwing and Stormbird can make the Slaughterspine respawn and vice versa.
This is insane, TH-camrs like this always go unnoticed. Which sucks. These videos are super well-made, entertaining and very helpful. Please keep up the good work and I am eager to see where you go in the future!
Hopefully one day they'll give us a variant of the Strombird based on the Phoenix, they could name it Flamebird or Firestrom. Fighting against a Strombird that has fire attacks would fun.
I would add a lesser known way to "dodge" the Stormbird Electrical-field at 5:03, when Aloy is really close to get hit. just dodge into it!, You'll get no damage, since Aloy dodge move make her invurnable for the first second(~). Plus on top of that the Stormbird will go back because of it's now cancelled move, giving you more time to reload your bows or attack it. Great video, my favorite machine is the Stormbird, I've fought over 1000 of them on HZD and still learned from your video 👍🏹
I love your series! I've been binge watching them while on my bus to school. I would love to see videos that focuses on the more... cute machines. The burrower is my favorite!
Thank you so much! I’m glad you’ve liked the videos! I was wondering how I could do a video on Burrowers that wouldn’t last an hour long because of all the variants and locations 🤣 I might just do a super cut of them! They are the very first new machine we encounter so I definitely have to do them justice
Fantastic video as always. I think the Stormbird was kinda bugged in my version of the game (it was extremely passive and would sometimes just... fly away entirely? Like that quest with the Stormbird up on the mountain, it took forever to do because the Stormbird kept flying away...) so it was fantastic to see it in true glorious motion here!
Oh yeah it’s pretty bugged in mine as well. I should actually post a video on how to easily cheese one to farm resources. At the SF site, if you destroy the Storm cannon just as it first approaches, then detonate a chill water canister while it’s immobilized, it will just sit there once it gets back up. I used that bug for the first picture in the video
I thought it was epic watching the storm bird fight the slaughter spine, only to then watch it take on a dread wing in aerial combat. Holy crap that was awesome.
Thats some pretty impressive battles. I remember using corrosion on the glinthawks in zero dawn and they just circled each other with an occasional breath weapon never hitting. This is how it should be.
I feel like one of the reasons why the stormbird won against the slaughterspine is the game programming You see, the NPCs tend to not care what kind of enemy they're facing, and in the machine fights it's seen the best. Since they behave the same as if they were fighting Aloy, causing them to get too close to each other and not keeping the distance from each other. In case with air vs ground machine battles, it's mostly the ground machine not doing anything, because it needs some time to process what's happening (because it appears that none of the NPCs in Horizon game are adapted or simply programmed for anti-air combat) This is one of my few complaints about Forbidden West (and Zero Dawn too), and that is the AI ignoring the type of enemy. If they didn't, it would be very likely that the battling machines would try to keep the distance from each other, more than that, the slaughterspine would've also used its "missiles" and the tail lasers against the stormbird more often (same when facing a dreadwing or a pack of glinthawks)
@@timur5241 It wasn't as bad in ZD they noticed that it was flying machines that attacked them and used their ranged attack to deal with it. You can test it on the ravager using his canon to take out glinthawks and if you watched the PC fights you can notice thunderjaws using their weapons against stormbirds destroying them every times even overriden stormbirds lose to normal thunderjaws
Great video as always my only suggestion for the machine matchup fights is that overridden machines get several boosts in the form of hp, damage and elemental increases. To remedy this when i go to set two types of machines to fight i find the most fair way to do it is by pitting an overridden machine against an apex variant of its opponent, as apexs have a similar hp, damage, and elemental effect buffs that overridden machines gain. Thats why i think the Stormbird mopped the floor with that Slaughterspine because that Slaughterspine was just a regular one and was at a severe disadvantage in attack power, elemental resistance, and hp. The best proof of this is in your most recent machine catalog of the rollerback. Having an regular overridden one fight an apex one is the best one to one comparison. And the results of the fight were super close which is why when i go to test machine against one another i always pit the overridden against an apex as they are roughly equivalent to one another
Thank you so much for the suggestion! That definitely makes sense. I wonder how much of a difference it would make in the case of Slaughterspine vs. Stormbird. I'm sure the Stormbird would still come out on top because of the AI, but the Apex Slaughterspine might be able to get a few more hits in at least!
@@unknown_2552 oh yeah 100 percent my money is still on the Stormbird simply because of the fact its an air machine, and doesn't like to stay in range of many of the Slaughterspine's attacks.
@@dydy972x4 i agree the AI plays a huge factor. But since the first game machines that have been overridden have always been more powerful than their non overridden counterparts. Its not even hard to test it either just go anywhere where there's two of the exact same machine and override one and 9 times outta ten yours will win. Which is why when i wanna get the most comprehensive results i always pit an overridden one with a daemonic one (for HZD) or and apex (for HFW) as their boosts are roughly equivalent across the board.
@@opratorkilo4649 yeah that's true the apex are really close in power with our overriden machine now. I'm pretty sure that sometimes apex are even stronger than overriden
Great video as always ! One of my fav machine but I find them worse than in HZD cuz their AI is kinda bad they spam/bug alot now and it's really annoying
It’s the Tenakth Recon armor set! You can buy it from the outfit merchant in Thornmarsh. I like it for these videos because it allows me to override machines for an indefinite amount of time, and provides more stealth. I do have an uncut playthrough on my channel, however I didn’t provide any commentary at all. It’s just a raw unedited playthrough
The Slaughterspine has metalbite sacs located on each shoulder. The Stormbird has such good aim, it was able to get a direct hit on those metalbite sacs and cause the corrosive state haha

I like the storm bird I wish they'd make it a mount. The storm bird also becomes useless after you destroy its storm cannon. It looks at you like what now. Lol.
@@unknown_2552 yeah I think that was the issue, I had it on max difficulty, the ratio for farming 2 primary nerves was almost 15/3. I set it down and was pretty much 10/5 after. Thanks

The production value is insane.
Thank you so much! I think I’m getting better at editing each time. I keep finding new better ways of making these videos

That’s very true! Two aerial machines are a closer matchup than an aerial vs land any day!
I wonder if the AI will ever be patched to accommodate for that… or if they’ll leave it as is
Yeah this really frustrating I feel the AI in the first game was better for machine vs machine and I find it way worse when it comes to big machines
@@dydy972x4 nope
It's been the same in HZD
The exact same in fact

Great overview
Imagine riding on top of this machine after overriding it.
That would be awesome!

Can you do fireclaw next ? I found an unmarked one next to the North fireclaw site so you can do fireclaw vs fireclaw
I have a couple very special machines in the works for my Machine Spotlight 10 and 11 😁 after that I definitely want to do the Fireclaw and Scorcher
Can't wait
Thanks for your patience by the way! I wish I could pump them out more often but work and school is holding me back 🤣
So thank you!
Is a primary nerve something you have to beat it a certain way to obtain?

What does the storm bird do if you take its cannon and wing thrusters

what is the armor set you‘re using? looks great! is there an uncut playthrough by you anywhere?

When the storm bird attacks why is there acid on the slaughterspine? I am curious
The Slaughterspine has metalbite sacs located on each shoulder. The Stormbird has such good aim, it was able to get a direct hit on those metalbite sacs and cause the corrosive state haha
Can you mount it?
0:24 "ALL HAIL STORMBIRD"
Stormbirds bug even more for me now when they go flying up they get stuck in the flying up animation
Hopefully a fix is coming!
@@unknown_2552 I sure hope so fireclaws also bug for me
Nice this one still annoys me all the time, due to the flight. Make 1 for the fireclaw plsss
Imagine if they release a third one. THEY'LL PUT IN A FREAKING MACHINE DRAGON
can this happen? you are fighting a corupted apex slaughterspine could you win?
