#HorizonForbiddenWest #HorizonForbiddenWestTips - เกม
1. Loot everything
2. Upgrade low level gear in beginning
3. Complete story missions to gain new abilities and tools (possibly up to gaining DEMETER)
4. Use Focus to mark parts and destroy machines (Ex: chain reaction for damage and break off key upgrade resources before killing machine)
5. Remember to upgrade Survivor and Medicine capabilities (collect more resources)
6. Check Supply Chest in Base often for resources
7. Grind Hunting Grounds for resources and gameplay tactics
8. Unlock Arena for resources and prizes from both Arena and Hunting Grounds
Update for Item 4: my personal trick is to change difficulty when hunting machines to get more parts in less time
The comment I was looking for
Basically...
The spoilers I suffered through because I didn’t find this comment
I dont understand I can't find this supply chest at the base... any one can help ?
@@fabioadv475 it probably activates after a few story missions
I'm about 7 hours in, looks stunning, plays so fluidly. Everything good about the first game plus a hell of a lot more. Stunning achievement for a developer that was most known for the Killzone series, boy did they go above and beyond with Horizon.
7 hours in already? Jesus 😭😂 I feel you though!!! I played for about 3 already!
About 14 hours in lool
💯 % agreed!!
I have to clear my schedule and be ready to no worry about time.
@@robinhalljr.3690 i work from home man, and since it dropped, ive been doing alot less work at home LOL
Refilling your berries by holding up doesnt pull them from your stash. You have a pouch, a bag, and a stash. Your pouch holds around 10 to start, the bag holds around 15, and the stash is unlimited. If you hold up, it pulls berries from your bag but once it’s empty, you have to go to your stash or pick up new ones.
Yes! I was so confused early on. I collected hundreds of berries and was so pissed off when I kept running out and couldn't figure out why.
What?! I wondered where all my berries went! 🤯
Yeah I think this is my only slight annoyance with the game, only because when you actually need all those extra berries you can't access them, I don't really see the point of having hundreds of berries that you can't access unless you're at a fire. It really takes no time to refill your berries as you're wondering around because they're everywhere, so when I do go to refill from my stash most of the time my berries are already at maximum level so I have hundreds of berries in my stash just sitting there being pretty useless.
@@neatznotso7424 by the Forge! You’re out here using your stash to brew ale and don’t even realize it!
This game is so beautiful that I even forgot to do my missions because I end up either sightseeing or exploring and taking pictures. The Hunting part is also addicting too. Hunting animals, robots and farming berries is addictive. All in all I can very easily spend hours or days playing this game.
Yes that is actually a problem for me too - I admit I won't lie I actually DID DO what THIS video said not to do, I have been doing TONS of side shit, and I am now like double the level it suggests for the current main mission. But I still agree with this video though because I have passed up like 20 different places that I was LEGIT like 1-20 feet away like seconds away from AWESOME LOOT but couldnt get it, because of STORY LOCKED tools.. So I am getting moving on the story for sure
I know plus this game making me feel like I just want to be like a pack rat lol
@@syttorak7629 totally agree with u both. I end up doing side stuff a lot and exploring areas.
I made the same mistake! I tried to play it like the first game and didn't pay attention to tearing off machine parts for loot.. also I cleared out ALL ?s and side missions in an area before event touching important main quests lol Thankfully I'm only finished with the beginning area so far, but now I know I've got a lot of work to do when I go back still 😆
It's hard to have an open world game where you can just get lost solely in the world exploration, testament to the world design from Guerilla.
I play this on the base PS4, and it's crazy how well this runs.
Same here man
Same...it's awesome
Same, it runs fantastically. I can’t help but wish I owned a PS5 though so I could experience the game at its best. I wish they could have released it for PC too.
The game was obviously designed for PS4, then upgraded to PS5. It's great that Geurilla didn't abandon PS4 in the way that CDPR did with Cyberpunk.
@@lemming9984 Actually I think it was meant for PS5 but were gonna release it on PS4 either way, plus unlike CDPR they took time on all versions not just one.
Extra healing herbs do NOT come out of your stash, they come out of your bags of which you can only hold a specific amount which is upgradable: if you want to refill you have to go to your stash
Setup hunts for upgrades marked on the map
Equip the fully upgraded healing potion in the survivor tree as your valor sink, it makes you un-killable
Don't try to completely clear the map at the start, there are too many inaccessible areas due to missing tools
Side quests give skill points
Board game gives skill points
Don't upgrade early game weapons and armor past level 2
thank you its better than the video
That's correct
thank you ! the healing herb tip bothered me, very misleading
Oops just leveled 2 bows and 2 armors to lv3 🥲will take note
Another thing don't waste the items that are rare from machines because you need them for the robot hacking room
I would suggest doing the story until you pass getting all 3 GAIA sub functions before fully exploring the map. Having the ability to breathe under water, get rid of plants, and other obstacles really helps with the exploring.
I finished getting all those equipment a week or two ago and I am still exploring. I have just been doing all the side missions, errands, hunting grounds, etc so I could just open up everything.
Also, this procrastination has helped me level up by like ... 15 levels, get a ton of skill points, and so I am nearly done with my skill tree from all the quests and level ups. This is nice since I still am only 40% completed on the game apparently.
I drowned so many times trying to get treasure at the bottom of lakes because I'm a treasure-a-holic. Wish I'd known there was a mask later in the story 😆
Another tip that i wish i knew before playing through the first time (recently started again with a harder difficulty) was that you can disable the pickup animations from settings. This makes picking berries etc. Instant and can be done even while riding without slowing down. This doesnt include chests and items with an "inventory" that u need to open tho
Are you fucking serious??? I never knew that
It will make picking berries so much more easy. Thanks!
Thank you
Just starting new game+. I didn't know there's an auto pick up too. All you have to do i walk through it. But if your bag is full, you will have to pick up yourself.
@@ckharshiing are you serious?
Honestly there is two sides to this. Yes focusing on the main quest does help out with exploring the world, but I tend to do side quests a bit first because I obtained a special weapon and the money from caches around the world has really helped me purchase better armor ahead of the harder quests. Not to mention you have to explore a little if you want to help boost your level up before taking on harder quests.
I noticed that doing quests in an order based on their level keeps things pretty balanced out both difficulty wise and the amount of story orogression and side quests... almost as if the quest levels were made for that now that i think of it😂
Focusing on side missions very often rewards you with special dialog in the main missions.
Another tip for refilling the med pouch, you can do it while you're in a slide, so if you're in a fight where you can't afford to stand still for what feels like a lifetime you can take a little runup do a slide and hold up on the d-pad.
You can also do it when a machine has knocked you down for no wasted time.
@@markengesser5293 I did not know about that one... Does it also work when you're shocked and you're in the back flop animation?
you can refill it while just running too... just difficult to hit up on the dpad and push the stick at the same time.
A cheesy tip for the arena if you don't care about "proving" yourself. Lower difficulty to Story and you can complete the arena with almost no effort and get the legendary bows/armor
:O
Sounds boring and for made for dummies.
@@hypello9534 i was doin arena in hard difficulty but i was stuck at the second series cause I can't kill all machines in time
@@riccardovecchi3592 that doesn't sound fun, just lower the difficulty, no shame in it.
@@adamsmart3977 yeah it can become very frustrating but I managed to get all done and finally I can buy something with that medals

#3 Don't be afraid of the Main Story
I myself didn't want to rush into the story, but as I went threw some side quest , It requested a special type of gear to complete.
Knowing now that the story provides these type of special gear,
I will continue the story
Thanks
Another mistake to avoid is to keep using elemental ammo on machines after they're fully drenched. It doesn't make the elemental damage last longer, in fact it does quite the opposite, meaning you'll end up having to build it up again.
You'll want to avoid upgrading any low end gear (green/blue, maybe purple) that uses greenstone though, because there is a finite amount in the game and it can sometimes be somewhat difficult to find, even when marking it as a job. There probably is enough to upgrade everything that uses it, but to avoid running all over the place looking for what you need unless you have to.
I would partially disagree with this point as some of the better high-end gear require specific machine parts, not greenstone. There is definitely a finite amount of greenstone (still a huge amount, but finite nonetheless), but machines can always respawn.
FUlly upgrade one purple bow. Use the greenstone. It'll carry you through the entire game until you get a legendary, at at least lvl 2
i've beaten the game and still haven't found any way to spend my greenstone yet
I am not so sure. I have seen it respawn before. I cannot figure out if it was a fluke
Yes but purple & gold tier weapons/items are indispensable until youre like 40% thru the game. Blue tier can still be strong if you set you kit up right & have a good plan (focus on chain reactions or whatever you like)
HZD is one of my all time favorites and now this has been amazing so far. I played for about 12 hours, mostly just exploring because the world is so beautiful and gameplay is awesome!
It’s so damn distracting in an awesome way!!!
I said to myself before I had it. Meh ill just do the main quest but wow. I wasn't expecting this quality
Loving this game, of course. I forgot how Horizon grabs you with its story, excellent fight mechanics and zero load screens which make the game incredibly immersive. Hours fly by playing this game.
Turn on Easy Loot, you can use it for any difficulty if you pick the custom option. This way you don’t have to worry about breaking off key machine parts. Just don’t trigger an elemental explosion if you need parts because they will get destroyed. Also if you destroy machines designated as transport they carry containers that will be filled with other machine parts as well as valuable loot. Rollerbacks & Behemoths are good machines for farming for materials.
But, breaking off machine parts is the most fun part of the game! Easy loot would ruin the game for me.
Good if you don't care about the mechanic of breaking parts off.
Im guilty for setting a waypoint and then seeing that question mark on the way n being like oh im gonna go there first
I would actually NOT recommend rushing through the story quests too quickly because, 1, you'll probably get your ass kicked until you have more perks, better weapons and have learned how to fight, and 2, you'll miss out on a ton of stuff if you do.
This game likes to throw you into a lot of head-on fights early on against big, fast machines (like the first Cauldron, the first Arena fight and the Poseidon mission), so you'll want to practice fighting as much as you can.
My advice? Whenever you get to a new settlement, slow down. Look for all the green exclamation points (which are new side quests), and accept all of those. You don't have to do all of them at once, but doing those will take you to every interesting point in the map, and you'll also gain a ton of skill points, resources and fighting experience along the way. They're also pretty interesting little stories (mostly)
Trust me, you don't want to get thrown in to the fight before you get Poseidon without decent weapons and fighting practice. That thing will flatten you repeatedly if you're unprepared!
This! I got to poseidon first because I did everything around plainsong and then everything around the desert area. Such a pleasant place to be and grabbing poseidon first was one of the best things I could have done. It's so fantastic when you finally finish that mission.
Plus when you did everything in the desert are you already get some purple gear too while being around level 20/30. Dependand on how much missions you did
Been delving into this for a few months. After opening the ability to ride on the bird, it became very, very fun. Instead of finishing the main quest, I have taken to flying to every icon on the map and opening it. Last time I found a game that was that pretty, was Elder Scrolls Morrowind way back in the early 2000's. This is a good game. Beautiful. Play the first game before doing this one. You won't be sad
This is really helpful. I need to get back onto the main quest! I keep getting distracted by side quests and machine killing 😂
Yup, likewise, seems like a better strategy for this game. 10 main quest down before I explore
I try to do all side missions as I move on,. Think I'll stick to the main story for a bit.
I agree. It's one of the few games where I actually feel like I care about the side quest characters. Genuine interest as to what their situation is. Loving this game so far!
Good video and thanks. I am on my second play through now and I recognise most of your points. One useful point is that it's more efficient to level up on experience from killing machines and leave the side quests for after you have hit the level maximum of 50, when they will become the only remaining source of skill points. I have also concentrated on keeping my weapons upgraded, but I would add that the higher level upgrades for some of the better weapons needs some of the rarer greenshine slabs, and I get the impression that there aren't enough slabs to upgrade everything that needs that resource. The main quest should be followed without hesitation, but still prioritise upgrading your gear and things will go better. Those main quest rewards are essential in getting past some blocks. I would also say that with respect to skills, be especially careful to choose the skills that match your playing style, the main ones (for me) being melee, hunter, or trapper, others being supportive rather than being a main style. Similarly, choose weapons that support also support your play style; more accurately, don't waste time and effort on skills or weapons for a style that you don't use.
When you refill the healing berries, they don’t come from your stash. They come from your inventory.
That's correct.
A thing I found in the settings - you can turn off Aloy's headgear. The outfits are great, but a lot of the headgear looks silly!
I'm glad that they did that again like in HZD. I'm not a big fan of the headgear either and would much rather she didn't have it lol
I love that feature! Plus I like showing off my Kratos face paint haha
As long as you're doing missions in order of level you shouldn't have to worry about inaccessibility too much (at least as mission progression goes). The only exception I've found so far is a ruin leveled at 15 with a metal flower. Once you're done all the side quests leveled the same or lower than a main quest, do the main quest.
Great video as always!!! A little bit past 2:00 you showed me a really neat trick I never thought about (gliding above an enemy to do a drop from above attack.) I love it! Forbidden West definitely has TONS of combat (even regular) mechanics that are somewhat "discoverable" I guess would be the right word? LOL. I really do like this aspect about it out of many many things.
Bro when I played it last night at 12am on release on the ps5 the graphics are INSANE omg this game is so beautiful ima play this game a lot y’all need to buy this I’ve been playing a lot of dying light 2 but this game is even better
My whole party was playing it. We all stopped and was like, aiight, this shit beautiful
Is there still rendering issues?
@@Savileaurus hell nah
Both are great but yes this game is great 👍
about 3 hours in and cant begin to stress how important it is to upgrade your bow ASAP. I went from struggling to mauling machines in the beginning area
The arena gives excellent rewards. Purchase the Death Seeker’s Shadow bow, which is a legendary reward from the arena and fully upgrade it, which essentially makes it one of the strongest weapons in the game. I didn’t run into any issues with parts shortage doing this other than having to farm specific apex machine hearts. One tip: killing the normal machine and then allowing time to pass until it’s nighttime by resting at a shelter usually spawns the apex version of that machine at night.
When holding up on the D pad, you aren’t grabbing medicinal berries from your stash, but just the total amount you can carry (24). I have around 100 in my stash and cannot grab those without going to a stash.
Thanks. I usually try to complete everything in the area I'm in, then move on. Obviously not having certain equipment is hindering that, so I'll just continue the main story. Having to sink time into "Machine Strike" was not something I was anticipating to have to do. BTW, I listened to the the tips, but the video has way too much spoiler stuff so I just listened.
Another tip : in settings you can turn the pick up animation off meaning it's very easy to grab plants without wasting to much time
Another big tip: Anytime you get to a work bench, craft your ammo there. It uses half, if not more, resources. The worst part of this game is that you can't just have access to very important materials. Volatile sludge, blast paste, and machine muscle are primary ingredients for most of the most powerful weapons. The grinding required to upgrade the best gear will lead you to the hardest machines just to upgrade the gear, let alone complete the story missions. You will burn thru your most valuable resources in the blink of an eye, so help yourself out by using the work bench to craft your ammo.
The blues…the reds…the pitch black dark areas..this game engine is beautiful
Idk how many hrs, but it's a lot because this has been my main game Ive been playing almost every day since the release date! 😅 And I am so glad I watched this because I found out about some things I still didn't know! Thanks so much! I usually know everything already & like the channel owner, I wish I knew a lot of these things in the beginning of my journey with Aloy. Some days I farm for upgradeable resources from machines & greenshine. That being said, I am glad they fixed the icon problem where the map would show icons existing after you have acquired them. But I think I have found some of the icons still need fixing because I can't find the greennshine that is supposed to be there. And some of these I remember doing already but my memory isn't always reliable. I wonder if other gamers find mistakes with the icons still...
I love that I can still control Aloy while cycling weapons. Just that tiny detail made a huge difference in my gameplay once I realized it
Have beat the story of the game with a total completion percentage of 26.. unbelievable game. Not often a game leaves me actually wanting to seek out remaining side missions etc. Stoked.
I'm already 50% in and just got poseidon and the flower one.. what are you even doing to get there so fast 😮
26%?! Did you run right through the story? Lame.
@@jepardize yea he did
@@gamermanPS3 I always clear one entire area before I follow the next main quest 😄
matthew johnstone. You haven't beaten anything... just skimmed through the game. 😖
This game feels like a different game than the first one. I got bored with the first one after several main quests but this one kept me going. One thing this game does well is that combat is reasonably challenging (I’m playing hard mode). Sometimes I even have the vibe of monster hunter when fight some giant machines
Honestly its the opposite for me. The balancing on hard was just so off I had to customize it to make them less bullet spongey. While the giant machines beeing tanky seems logical, they just move way too much and too fast and they constantly jump at you or non stop span long range attacks which knock you back.
Zero Dawn was better all around, perfect game. Only misses a base.
Zero dawn was better, when it got zero dawn I played it from beginning to end in less than a week, it's been months and I haven't finished west, the balancing is disproportionate some machines are way easier than they should be based on size and level while others are way tougher than they should for the same reason, west is also trying to do just a little too much in terms of mechanics and changes
This one is so boring …. The first of the game is always the best , after that they either do to much or too little . In guerrilla case its too much . That nobody asked for
@@TooSlizzy agreed, some changes were good to make game play more fluid like the lack of needing to manage the inventory, but there was a bit too much all of a sudden
Some of the starting gear is worth leveling, but the mid tier gear has enough overlap with end game gear, I wished I had held off on some of the upgrading (the green shine and hearts were the main offenders).
Thank you for mentioning the hunting grounds and arena. Seeing how many medals are required to buy the gear that is sold at that vendor is gonna make it better for me to complete them.
Excellent video, great points made! I was just discovering the need to progress in the main quests for new gear when your video popped up in my feed. New subscriber, for sure! 🎮💕
The game looking very good so far. Fluid combat, fun exploration and more items/armor/weapon to craft. 😎👌🏼
i watched you video like moooooonths before i can even be able to play, today the game came out and i know exactly where to go to refresh on the tips....loving the game alot!
thanks for the videos.
1. Get to Thornmarsh right after you complete Death's Door mission.
2. Obtain a ropecaster.
3. Obtain a shredder.
4. Obtain a sharpshot bow.
5. Obtain a better outfit.
6. Plug in coils to your gear.
7. Get to campfires to save your progress.
That's it. Have fun. I think the weapons selection is 2nd only to Ghost of Tsushima.
One thing i would advise if you are low on shards, go to a beach and kill every wild animal you see even after you upgraded all your pouches, as each purple loot is worth 125 shards and each blue loot is worth 50 shards, so killing them as you go through a beach is worth it. My favorite spot is from the Tideripper site to the Slaughterspine site, as you get to kill a tideripper, two random transport site (shellwalkers, behemoths or bellowbacks), maybe intercept the shellwalker convoy and a slaughterspine (unless rebels random encounter) with a shelter on the way. Of course, you can go after the rollerbacks as well. One round and back usually gives me 10-12k shards after selling everything necessary.
The thing about breaking machine parts is that optimal kill v drops kill.
Optimal kill like breaking parts or causing reaction is mostly the easy way but doing so blocks drops. For instance you break the Stormbird's cannon it makes the fight easy but you'll never get it as a drop or shooting the belly of a fire/frostclaw for that massive explosive reaction makes the hunt easier but you'll not get the webbing drop.
Its efficiency v rare drops
Strombird cannon is detachable. You can remove it with tear arrows pretty easily. Then you can recover it (depending on drop %), and you’ve removed it from the fight.
For the fireclaw/frostclaw webbing, I hit them with the opposite elemental damage and then shoot their legs with arrows. Occasionally, they’ll fall down, and you can get in some knockdown damage. It’s really annoying to kill them this way, but it means you won’t damage the sacs.
- For most upgrades and crafting, just loot what you need from the machines and run, you don't have to actually kill them (unless you heed hearts). It's simple but sometimes I forget I'm just collecting one thing and end up spending hours doing something that only takes 10 minutes.
- Slaughterspines are scary as hell the music gives me chills
- When selling things, press triangle to highlight each item you want to sell and press "x" to do one sale instead of selling them individually. This is another simple one that many people miss or forget.
1:13 no, you do not refill your berries from the stash. you refill them from the berry pouch that is part of your inventory. the pouch holds a max of 32 and if you use them all you are out even if you have more in the stash. also, you can run while refilling them from the pouch... no need to stay still, although it may be a bit difficult to run and press up on the dpad for some people.
#9 Once you unlock The Base, you can fast travel to it from anywhere for free. No fast travel packs or being at a fire required. And once there, there is a fire right next to it to fast travel to wherever else you want to go.
Really man...i unlocked the Base two days ago...Gaya seems cool soo i dont need to be near fire to teleport in Base? I can do it from anywhere?
For me the biggest mistake I made was selling the metal blocks. They are in the sell category, but they are critical for buying machine parts from salvagers.
Don’t forget that you can “buy back” from vendors
Holy crap thanks for reminding me of that. I went to a salvager the other day and I was like... I only have 14 metal blocks after hours of gameplay?? I probably sold them all. Will try to buy them back.
Thanks for this. Def helped since i only started playing about a week ago. Especially the details about the main story and hunting grounds 💪🏻
I'm pretty much advanced into the game and I agree with your tips, very good job with your list!
This game is going to be my escape from the real world! I want to live there!! lol. Haven't finished the game yet but already my number 1 for 2022 and top 5 of all time!!
Not surprised you haven't finished the game yet.. It only came out yesterday 🤣
Same l, same !
@@azpect8960 some crazy people have already finished the whole game…
Thank you so much for this! Brilliant! I've always been a huge scavenger, picking up everything that's not, as you said, tied to the ground. So I'm happy to report I'm good on that front. I just entered the first cauldron, but will now (once I've led Varl and Zo through) make my way back to the first hunting grounds. Thanks again for all the tips!
If you like picking everything up, i highly suggest turning off picking animations, wish i had known that playing first time through. This makes picking up berries etc instant even when riding. Opening chests and this with "an inventory" stays the same
@@MrScorpnok oh my god! I just tried it and wow - what a difference!! I had no idea! Fantastic 🙏🏻 thank you so much!
A lot of this I do agree with, the one thing I would caution is ignoring certain level side missions. You could potentially be missing out on something useable that could be an upgrade for your level or wind up being completely useless cause you're overlevelled.
I'm horrible with open world games cause they take me an eternity to finish. I've viewed maybe half the map so far and I'm some 80+ hours in on my save, some of that time is spent planning, some of it just sitting idle. I absolutely love the game however and it's my primary atm. Some things definitely help like you mentioned. The diving mask was a complete game changer and had I done that earlier, I wouldn't have had to backtrack near as much. Great video though!
From all the gameplay I’ve seen this game seems like Breath Of The Wild just far more complicated? I’m curious what you think?
There’s a happy medium in what you’re describing about doing the main quest and side quests, as a very hard player, you can do both as long as the side mission level is lower or within 5 levels of your main mission level
Not exactly true, I'm playing on new game ultra hard(new to the 2nd game), and u can take on any machine with basic gear, no upgrades and no special ammo regardless of level, just takes time
If you don’t want to worry about knocking things off. because sometimes when you do I realize it goes way to far and I can’t find it. You can turn on easy loot in the general tab in settings. You do have to turn on costum difficulty. I do recommend not touching anything else. So you don’t ruin your gameplay.
i read this early on and did it, i set the two options to normal so i play as it was intended but there is a setting that allows you to see climbing options its called Climbing Annotations turn this on as sometimes i am somewhere and its crazy action and i cannot see where to climb to
Even though i had already done a few of these, mainly the survivor tree (i hadn't picked a main weapon class to use & wasn't getting enough berries) still a very useful video
The 10 main quest first tip seems good but doing certain side quest first in each area gives different main quest dialogue scenes as you progress in that area, its still the same main quest but think you miss out on the better version story wise and sidequest don't take to long unless your hunting just to hunt the starter daunt area doesn't have many side quest for its alternate dialogue scene.
Definitely this. Plus it feels more organic to do those ones right then instead of waiting on them. Like the one that sees you investigating about why the Bristlebacks ended up in The Daunt. I did what I could of it before I finished The Embassy and once I could continue it I did which lead to finishing that side quest and stuff happening in The Daunt. If you leave it for later, I feel like you could end up kinda forgetting what happened in The Daunt and it wouldn't have the same punch it does when you do it immediately.
I'm gonna do the quest for the salvagers as well since it's on the way to the main story quest point anyway (the one right after The Embassy). The main story points you towards a number of these quests so I think it's good to at *least* do those. I did get a relic ruin quest after saving some Oseram that I can't do yet since according to them there's a bunch of the firegleam in the way. So that I'm holding off on.
i agree, not only do some of the side quests just make sense to do early on, but you can get some great gear from them.
perhaps another approach is to only ever play missions that are within your level reach and avoid doing any free hunting or any other activity which might highten your level above any of the next level quests available. Still there are plenty of activities, hunting grounds etc that can also alter your level significantly depending on how many attempts you need to complete them... one thing is clear, there are many different ways of approaching progress in this game ! another reason why its so good !
something nobody has mentioned, is that on first play through you are actually still learning mechanics of the game which make it impossible to optimise approach since you also have no idea how it is going to evolve. but if youve played the first, then you would know as it worked that way in zero dawn too.
I’ll finally be able to really play today. I spent like 2 hours trying to decide between resolution mode and performance when it unlocked last night then I had to crash lol
which did you pick lol?? I didn't know haha
I too would like to know which you choose
Resolution! This is first ps5 game I’m picking resolution mode for. While 60 fps is nice *alot* is sacrificed to hit it. The game will still look good, but on resolution mode it truly looks next gen. It’s honestly the most beautiful game I’ve ever played i think.
@@Gwynbleidd_117 U can try to adjust a few things in ur TV and in games for a better overall experience. First I couldn't stand the choppiness of Resolution but now It's very playable and made me forget the fluid 60fps mode.
@@Gwynbleidd_117 really? Even better than Death Stranding?
great tips vid and im totally luvin the game with only 1 gripe to speak of and thats the fact u cant fast travel into ur base :( yes there is a campfire on the western side fairly close but its still annoying
20 hrs in and didn't know you can replenish your berries by holding up.
So useful. Thank you
I upgraded everything I could periodically, and stopped the main quest before going to the final battle of with the Zeniths to do all side quests and get all collectibles to make sure I can have all that I need to fight with relative ease
3rd tip with the sidequests i realised too late i was stuck on a sidequest for almost an hour because i was so determined to get it done myself until i realized in needed the gear from the mainquest first
I didn't bother to upgrade low level gear unless the required parts were easy to get/plentiful as i knew i could just wait and get the better stuff. I did upgrade some green and blue but not fully. I only intend to fully upgrade my purple and gold gear.
THANK YOU for showing how to do the arena weapon stuff! Those quests should have a big freaking exclamation mark. I heard about it earlier in the game but couldn't find where I was supposed to turn the medals in. Kinda mad I missed out on an early game damage boost. Couldn't find that info anywhere online (so much for "official" game outlets) Earned a like!
About 30 hours in and wow these side quests are endless !! Glad I could give kataro a hand with his 😂 thanks for the tips tho didnt know about the hold d pad up to refill herbs ,, thats mint
Thanks for this vid. Very helpful.
Played about 20 hours so far. The game is AMAZING.
This game is amazing on ps4. Not gonna mess with 5 until it's readily available. Thanks for the tips. Although most i learned from Dawn some i was just careless about. Lol.
Great job 👏 I’m about to start Forbidden West and will keep all of this in mind 🙏
I know the not upgrading things was a HUGE mistake I made in the early game. I kept telling myself that i was just gonna get better stuff later on and after you get into the really open part of the game after getting the glider thingy I struggled so much and didn't know why but then it dawned on me that I didn't upgrade my stuff
Good tips. Great game. Thank you Guerilla!
I've gone through majority of this game with analogue drift it's been challenging but I've managed only struggle has been bandit camps when trying to take out the sharpshooters
I shit you not I already have 60 hours in this game and I’m still working on side quest and the gold weapons and armors machine strike game, hunting grounds ext. this game is so fun I can’t stop playing
Agree and disagree at the same time. Yes, do not fear to upgrade ur gears but don't go fully upgrade for green and blue gears because purple items are easy to get later on.
The machine parts categories i'd hold on for upgrades are the ones not coming from a detachable part. Like circulators or primary nerves. The dumbest looting element in that game is how they appear at random on the machine you killed. One ton or two of sophisticated electronics and at times you wont even find one, prompting you to another annoying fight against the same machine
This was very helpful, Khraze, thanks much 👍🏻
the igniter, if I had known you'd get this fairly early I would've gotten it way earlier than i had initially. I did so many of the side stuff that at least half of them would stop me due to those damn red crystals..
One thing you missed was turning off pickup animation for natural resources. Such a quality of life improvement
Doing side missions nets you skill points, cold hard skill points.
Great tips!! I'm currently doing a walkthrough of this game and guilty of soo many of these!! 😆
Great Video - thank you!
Good video man 👍
honestly, the only things worth fully upgrading until you get legendary are green items. the first step is all you need for blues and purples. greens and oranges should be leveled all the way. you don’t wanna max out a blue/purple only to get a better legendary! that being said, some purple items that don’t have legendary versions should be maxed. like a purgewater/frost bow for example.
03:59 which one is which? Pink or yellow for chain reaction or key upgrade item? Also, how do you get both the chain reaction and the key upgrade item highlighted at the same time? Which one should I aim first? Thanks.
I always use the blaster on bigger monsters to release big parts and their weapons like the big Thunderjaw enemy
Should make a viode explaining that for bellowbacks and fire/frost claws to get their sac webbing you have to specifically not destroy their elemental sacs even with easy loot you can't get them if you pop them
How do you mark the parts to stay highlighted? After I scan the whole unit goes normal looking again. I've set jobs for upgrade parts but nothing glows nor does it stay glowing post initial scan.
Already looking forward to the next one 😊
There's more?!?!
nah, i'm glad i explored a ton before i got certain tools because then a bunch of those things were marked on the map and i don't have to completely re-wander the entire world for them again
I just finished the game last night. Was totally awesome. Took my time and completed almost everything. Only need 2/3 trophies for platinum. Need to glide for 60 seconds. And I can’t remember the other ones. Lol. It this game was great. Even better than the first.
im so happy they added the storage thing it was SO annoying in zero dawn
I have a question: Where to stop follow a main story and start fokus on grinding a side quests and other stuff? Thanks
4:38 ⚠️ Got ambushed 😂
Should I buy and upgrade the green items in chainscrape or nah
TBH I'm glad I didn't know all of this stuff (I figured out some of it naturally); it was really satisfying to get through the main game without being aware of some of this stuff. I'm glad I've seen it now though as I think the information is very good for a second playthrough.
I’m about 20 hours in and I’m still only just passed the beginning area lol
I'm 80h in and now i understand why I've got so few key upgrade resources in my inventory 😅 I basically just killed the machine like in HZD 🤦🏻
I wonder if we will get a new game plus like we did with Zero Dawn.
