The Permitted East Re: DLC I think it's likely we'll get something to do with the fate of Elysium. It's alluded to very ominously and there's a lot of creative opportunity to make it a huge sprawling underground dungeon.

Happy Noodle Boy posted:Just fought an Apex Stormbird and that might have been the most miserable thing I’ve done all game. I wish they'd lower the component cost for these upgrades. You brought down one of the mightiest and deadliest machines on earth! Now go hunt it several more times because you need multiple rare components or the one you were after didn't drop! It's very silly. I like hunting stuff but not when it involves traveling between campsights nearest to the handful of places these machines roam a bunch of times. It just becomes routine busywork.

Given where FW left the story we now have a mostly powered up GAIA in additional to the Zenith base, ship, and orbiting station. They're totally gonna have us see the rest of the world as we put some sort of defense against Nemesis

Marin or the Grand Canyon seem like good DLC location options, you could tack either onto the map pretty easily. i'd lean towards the latter given that there's not much of interest in Marin, it'd just be more redwood forest in addition to the inexplicable one where the central valley should be for the sequel give me the giant flying chinese snake dragon machine i need it

Not that inexplicable, vegetation was entirely reseeded from scratch in Zero Dawn, which is why San Francisco has palm trees and Monument Valley is a jungle. I'm inclined to agree with the Grand Canyon, it would be in the same geographic area as the Burning Shore hints and it's one of the major features of the area yet to appear in the games, and I doubt they'd want to go back to the southwest for a third game.

The Grand Canyon would for me be a really boring location unless they added more fauna or something like that. I dunno its a giant canyon not that interesting geographically.

Machine overriding is so powerful any time you actually have the opportunity to do it. I did a fight against multiple Skydrifters and overrode one, and it both distracts and does huge damage to the other 3 I was fighting. Another fight I overrode a Bellowback, which handily survived until the end of a confrontation with several other machines, including two other Bellowbacks. If you haven't gotten the Skill, do all machines get overridden as the equivalent of "Defensive" mode? Defensive mode seems really inconsistent if you want a machine to fight. At first I thought it mean the machine would attack whenever you do, but I did a Defensive Override on a Clawstrider once and it just sat there while I fought. Neddy Seagoon posted:You are correct - Apex Machine Hearts are for endgame gear upgrades. Metal Blocks are worth keeping too - Salvagers will trade those for Machine parts, and they have some rare goodies. Thanks for answering this - for some reason Google also wasn't very helpful. Googling for anything related to games is so terrible these days - you get nothing but clickbait sites with virtually zero information (like if you google and item you'll get 8 sites that just say "X is a resource item in the game Horizon: Forbidden West")

So far on VH difficultly, the hardest part was the first shellsnaper you meet with Talanah, the main quest bosses have all been easy thus far. Hunting lodge challenges are super cheesy and annoying but not hard. I just started the arena amateur challengers, just haven't beat Slitherfang yet. I think it makes it harder because they change your load out, otherwise its not too bad. Btw can you just farm the easy challenges for arena medals? Boltblaster is so loving op but it's basically a death sentence to stand still in this game. If you have it max upgraded and valor surge you literally just tear a machines entire body. Basically vs some machines it's better to switch into this instead of going for crits, you can get rid of their annoying weapons. I also saw some guy completely destroy the slitherfang with the shredder/boomarang, it looks fun to use but I haven't found it yet? I am guessing you just buy it somewhere?

Just finished my final two Cauldrons today , but I'm kind of disappointed because now I have to farm machines for parts in order to get the overrides. I really don't like that.I will say that the level design and puzzles in the cauldrons were really good they all felt really different even if the last one I did was a water level dungeon. It was still really good.

Now we're going to make you backtrack and redo the thing with the crane arm in the opposite direction. For the farming I just dropped the game down to story mode and it makes it a lot easier. I also had the problem with the mystery override on the list. Hopefully they patch it. I missed getting the scan for Specter Prime and a little annoyed because I don't have a save near that point. Thing was I did scan it each time I died and had to start over, but it looks like it didn't take. I had the same issue with a few machines that I found in cauldrons that I know I scanned and never did die to them.

I think I'm one of the odd folks out; I not only didn't mind farming for upgrades, I genuinely enjoyed it! I liked the combat so much that a purpose-driven loop was no problem. The Jobs feature helped a lot as well. That said, I probably would've hated it if I had needed Shellsnapper. This description - Neddy Seagoon posted:They're just Rockbreakers, But Worse.

It won't happen but I would be thrilled if the sequel had simulation elements. Just preparing/uplifting all the various tribes so the world is ready to fend off Nemesis. I only did one Cauldron all game. Don't like them. Long climbing sequences really take me out of the game. Especially with how visually busy the cauldrons are.

I didn't figure out that destroying components didn't allow you to harvest them until after I had killed like 20 bellowbacks and was like " Hrmm maybe destroying it doesn't allow you to pick it up" and then a tip came up saying so.

I'm not very far into the game but if they want to make horizon into monster hunter mechanics/gameplay but with better story+setting+chars I'm all in I think doing a few runs for the ultra hard facepaint on the original game clued me into paying attention to the machine parts in the notebook, so in this one the second I scan a machine (or even fight one Ive seen) I check all the text in the notebook on them. I did take the threads advice on easy loot though (as well as always on rock handholds)

The whole bunker is on the verge of exploding and yet they remain to kill Aloy even as their leader run away.

From what Alva said I suspect that the soldiers on the expedition were chosen on a combination of unquestioned loyalty and bloodthirst. Not that those sort are very hard to find. I'm not sure but I think this is reinforced by the fact that Aloy never talks to any of the soldiers aside from one telling her the Ceo wants to meet her. No quests, no cutscenes. All the interactions is either the Ceo, the prophets or the navigators. They're just blindly loyal mad dogs. Also; in the 3rd game I care less about stopping Nemesis and more about illuminating the Quen to the truth of Ted Faro. Any culture that worships Ted Faro either needs to be enlightened or razed to the ground.

Is there anything strange I need to know about Apex Scorcher Hearts? Not only are they not dropping from about 10 scorchers in a row, but the quest, if I make it active, that needs them won't point to the scorcher sites that I have on my map. It just says unknown scorcher site with no waypoint. My map locations are spawning Apex Scorchers, they just aren't dropping hearts.

You sure that all those killed scorchers were apex variants? If so dont know what else to say, would be either something wrong or really bad luck. I think they dont show on the map because there arent any static/guaranteed apex spawns, but still, where they can appear it will be at those sites. Just finished the melee pit in Thornmarsh and drat do the combo challenges suck. In-game instructions are misleading and i had way better luck following this users modified instructions: https://forum.psnprofiles.com/topic/122641-the-enduring-fair-warning-on-the-thornmarsh-melee-pit/ As an aside, fireclaw webbing is my least favourite upgrade resource to hunt, please stop asking for it. It would be useful if jobs marked the corresponding machine site for apex parts, saves some map searching. Falukorv fucked around with this message at 05:53 on Mar 12, 2022 |

The reason the game doesn’t show you the path to where to find Apex variants is because they aren’t a 100% spawn anywhere, just have a chance to spawn at any territory where their base version does.
