NEXT LEVEL Combat Tips & Tricks You NEED to Know! | Horizon Forbidden West

Most people probably do this already but when dodging ranged attacks if you just keep running in one direction you will almost always get hit. Machines aim for where you're going to be based on your speed and direction. Slide in one direction then roll in the opposite. The extra speed from sliding sends the tracking way off, and once the machine fires the trajectory is set. That's when you roll away.

For the slaughterspine I struggled a lot with the plasma. Untill i found a armor specially for plasma resistance. All other armors have -ve resistance to plasma but utaru winterweave has highest resistance to plasma when fully upgraded. That helped me a lot and made the fight way easier

I have 258 hours played and just the 61% of the game! I love this game so much and your videos are an amazing help for the community! Great Job!

Ah, THAT'S where the persistent Shredder damage came from. It's the weapon that just keeps on giving.

Glad to see you're still putting out HFW videos. Got about 300 hours in the game so far and still learning new things from your videos. Currently on ultra hard NG+ trying to finish that up before GOW comes out in a week or so. Looking forward to your GOW videos as well. By the way, your ultra hard tips videos and you're getting prepared for ultra hard videos are spot on. Like crafting more stamina and effects remover potions than health potions. More stamina and effect remover are way more important on ultra hard than they ever were on hard. Also, radial blast stays at my side for the ready 24/7. Seems like ultra hard has more enemies, and they obviously don't give you a break even for a second. I constantly find myself in the middle of like five machines, being like wtf. Radial blast. BOOM!

No one makes better Horizon content.

The tripcaster instant brittle tactic is extremely useful against apex machines strong against frost in ultra hard. Without brittle, bigger machines are just too tanky to kill. For example, apex slaughterspine has 33k hp on ultra hard with x2.8 hp multiplier. They are way too long to kill without brittle. Thanks for the tip!

thx for introducing my channel. this video was interesting to see some tricks I don't know !

I just gotta say, you make possibly the most concise content I've ever seen. I started my first play through last week on ultra-hard and you have been a lifesaver! High production quality and useful information? This channel is a win!

That last tip about the Tripcasters and special arrows that don’t break stealth remind me of the good old 100-percent Chameolon exploit from Oblivion: You could attack enemies all day and they’d just keep blaming it on the wind, lol

that trip caster stealth freeze, and the sharpshot piercing human arrow not alerting the machines is dope, I need to give that a go.

These are awesome! I'll have to try out the tripcaster one because I rarely use them in HFW compared to HZD. The shredders in the water trick is so interesting, intended or not. And the thing with the strikethrough arrows keeping you in stealth is how I harvested all the Fire/Frostclaw sacs I needed for my upgrades - I'd explode their shoulders from stealth and finish them off with other tricks once that knocked down their health a bit XD

Did not think I'd learn something new but the last two are amazing! Thanks for putting this stuff out there.

Yeah boii! Thats what ive been waiting for!

You really outdid yourself with this video, imo! The recent Arena videos were absolutely awesome, but I love the most how you and the community continue to amaze with new discoveries and combat strats! That Tripcaster Instant Brittle wire shooting is way too OP for stealth kills, but VERY welcome for some fun ideas lol. As a fellow Shredder fan here, the lasting dmg on water/ground glitch... Boy oh boy, I feel sorry for Tiderippers the most. Also: 12:19 is a straight-up chad way to end machines! I hope these things won't get patched (too hard). The instant reload though! THANK you, thank you, thank you for this insight! As for smoke bombs; if you feel like a machine/enemy is doing an attack you feel you won't be able to dodge, try a smoke bomb to cancel its attack (mind your timing still though)! The Tideripper "water puking charge" on land is insanely hard for me to dodge with even a slide roll. But one smoke bomb done right and, to quote Sylens "and... voila.", position yourself and continue the hunt! Thank you again for the amazing content and I look forward to your future videos!

Your videos are always so amazing and informational, thank you. I learn so much.

I love your tips. They're the kinda of strategies I wish I knew and could work on when I was originally going through the game. Now that I've long beat the game and now really dedicating any time for NG+, unfortunately, your tips are going in one ear and out the other. I understand it's not feasible to have put up these videos a couple months after the game's launch, but I sure do wish I knew of these tips during my first playthrough while I was still figuring out the new mechanics and willing to try new things.

Gosh those last few tips were really interesting and I never would’ve figured them out myself lol. I’m not even currently playing this game but I still love watching your videos cause they’re just really well-made videos. Thank you again!

A lot of these are really clever, great tips!

Seriously bro, you have the best tips and tricks for this game and your videos are always well made. Thanks man, you are much appreciated!
