the best video I've seen on killing this machine!!!
Thanks so much. I'm working on a Very Hard No Damage Playthrough and hopefully will have it up soon. [ps. There's a hilarious silly way to stay and fight the Deathbringers shooting at you without taking any damage right after Aloy takes down Hades' Focus network ]
Cheng Teoh why didn't u use tearblast arrows on components?
Cheng teoh how do you get multiple king of arrows?
i agree,superDunninger. its the best i have seen too
I just spammed it with fire arrows.
I had no clue how to fight him... So I set it on fire for eternity.
You can use fire to overheat it and destroy all weak spot or use electric shock and do the same. There is note bok in game just use it and do good strategy.
I beat the last one without problems just by circling and firing at his weapons. THis game isnt really hart
Corruptor and deathbringers are weak to fire. They're not made in cauldrons.
Cruel
That was the plan... till I ran out of blaze.
Thank you so much
You helped me not cry over the last boss fight
I had so little health no potions 1 minute and a face filled with regret and tears but i found your video and all i can say is thank you
Glad that the video helped out. Feel free to drop by anytime. :)
CreepyLittle Novice I like u
Every boss i fight spams the shit out of the stun attack on me and i die
Hello! It was in ultra hard?
@@vercing1324 i think nope. I tried it in UH and you need to hit it with so much shock weapons before it gets stunned. In this video, the DB gets stunned with just a couple of shock blasts
Aloy The DeathBanger.
Man I died like 7 times and that was on easy. I just beat him though on PS4. It was all luck in the end. Just popped a few Tylenol...I'm getting old. You're video was very helpful to an extent.
Awesome tactic. This boss was kicking my ass. The best strategy I have seen so far.
Glad that this helped out. :)
@@ChengTeoh Can you explain why precision arrows easily destroy the components but maxed out tearblast arrows do not?
@@Dlord1PlayStation Yea tearblast arrows are broken as fuck
@@Dlord1PlayStation asking the same thing. I tried hitting it 3 tearblast arrows in 1 shot but it doesnt do anything lmao
This game is doing my nerves in
This is the easiest machine l ever killd
:p
Elijah Dinoy try playing it on a harder level then
Elijah Dinoy try it on Ultra...this thing is annoying + the extra machines they like to throw in...a freaking bellowback, corruptor and ravager whilst trying to take this f***er down. Is no way easy on Ultra...but I beat it finally on the first go...yeah...I’m extreme like that lol.
Just finished the fight with the Deathbringer in The Grave-Hoard with your technique!
Admittedly, with the difficulty on normal, but still.
It totally worked just fine.
Thanks you so much for the awesome video! :D
Thank you for sharing, I'll have to try that. A lot better than running around and getting shot at.
I didn't know elemental actually work well on this boss. SHOCKING!
Absolutely beautiful, a ballet of death. Well done
that was great man
Coming late to the party with the PC port and a particular lack of dodging skills, this guide was a game-changer for me. Before I found it, I had tried to replicate the fire arrow tactics but always failed to dodge and got stupidly killed more time than I could count and had to switch to Easy difficulty in the Grave Hoard fight. With this guide, I feel confident enough to try a hard playthrough. I'll do it on New Game+ tho :D
Very well done, smart approach. Bravo!!
Thanks so much this this has been tossing me around
They made it look so easy, I died 37 times trying ;-;
This was clutch. Thanks bro
Lol, and here I just ran in a circle around the thing bombing it until it got exposed then bombed those areas even more. You've got me beat!
Awesome video. Still working like a charm. 😊
that's great to know. I'll definitely be having fun with Horizon Forbidden West when it comes out, so stay tuned.
By far the best video all I have been watching is people killing the final boss on normal difficulty and then complaining how easy it was to beat it.. But this trick definitely makes it a lot more easier
THANKS SO MUCH! I was finally able to beat the final one on Ultra Hard difficulty. 😭
I can't thank you enough for your help ,I couldn't get the DB passed 1/4 health till I followed your guide then beat it in about 5minutes.
Glad that this was useful.
The biggest flex at the end when he kills the death bringer
Good grief, you make that look so easy. Nicely done.
thanks :) hopefully they are planning on making a sequel to this game.
excellent strategy !
This absolutely saved my ass!! Thank you!!!
tysm, i'm working on new game+ and ultra hard and it is definitely ultra hard so i will need this
Thanks, i'm rushing through ultra hard for the platinum and the face paints and the machines started to get hard hitters even with the shield weaver, around the nora village attack
You make it look so easy😂👌
Six f***ing tries!!! Man, i was like how tf do you kill this thing...barely got it...killed it on my 6th try last 30 seconds...shot the bihh in the freaking “eyeball” thingy at the top of it’s head. It seems that on the Ultra hard (which i was playing) the little vents weren’t coming out as frequently for me as they should have per try...ugh...ty...! This way worked much better!
Verry verry good, the way he/she takes down that thing is incredable!i'v been waching when trying to kill the deathbringer,but i just go a bit to close for my likeing but yea,verry verry good way to take that thing down.(I'v been trying for week's tryng to take down the deathbringer-now thanks to this i have!)
Master at work!
Thanks for the kind words, hope you found this helpful.
That thing may as well have been made of glass. Aloy just stood there throwing whoopass at it!
I've been trying to kill this bugger for a few hours now. Nil success, tried your method and still no joy. I'm obviously doing something wrong. I need to stop playing right now before I put my fist through my screen.
Same! Played for about 4 hours yesterday, and quit. Trying to muster up the will to go back in.
@@EverythingxYourexNot same here , he doesnt use even potion .... fml
Guys, what they don't _(and usually FAIL to)_ explain is how powerful their ammunition are. The player has a *modded* Sling with very rare (purple) electric coils to improve the electric bombs. Also, the player has two of the same bow, probably *modded* with similar coils to the max in order to improve tear from the shots. You cannot and *_will not_* see the same results without similar or better modifications on your weapons.
good point well said..
@@bumberchuff If you want some easy guaranteed purple mods, head to the Scrapper site in the Nora heartland to the far west. Save at the campfire, then run to the area with 4 Scrappers and two machines they're scrapping. You will get at least greens every time, but purples 75% of the time. You can commit an hour or two to this one day, warping back to the campfire and repeating the process. Great moddded start.
Impressive!!
tanx to this vidoe i was able to bbeat horizon zero dawn....without te video i wouldnt be aBLE to beatt it
Glad that this was helpful. :D
Unless like me you are low on weapons and ammo😭
well i killed every machine that on my way and now i have 5000 metal shards 100 blaze and 200 ridge wood
@@noobwithasword8780 well aren't you just so special, do you want a gold star?
@@rachaelapodaca649 I think games like Horizon reward people taking their time learning mechanics, gathering resources, practicing against several machines and learning the weaknesses of said machines.
"Can't be too prepared." Rushing in the final fight without proper preparation isn't exactly smart. I had all allies available and with the best non-DLC weapons for the whole final mission on the first playthrough and it was still difficult, if not exhausting.
@@y.matocinos8448 yeah, that's what you get for campaigning worth other people 🤷🏻♀️ trust me, I'm a looter. The other person, simply a user of my g*did*mn resources
Well u ain't alone
Awesome
That was gorgeous.
Glad that you enjoyed that. :)
Cool tactic. It took me until about half way through ultra hard to actually get much more then the sharpshot bow. Nearly torwards the end till i learned to use shock, fire, and frost.
Needless to say i just circle this beast. Shoot at the guns until they come off and he dies.
I really wish i saw this before getting to the final fight haha. Damn it.
I like how he shows the difficulty
I like freeze over shock just because of the damage multiplier. I clearly need to get a better handling mod on my bow to get 3 arrows so quickly. Cool video. 9/10 HZD "tutorials" are really bad players. You're definitely not.
Thanks for the kind words. Feel free to drop by again if you are having any more difficulties.
holy hell, i never knew that its vents will show up when it's stunned/shocked?? i've always thought that you can only do it by overheating it using fire arrows/bombs, so i never think about trying to shock this SOB. is it the same with corruptors?? they can take a pretty long time to overheat (my fire arrows burn stats is medium-high, iirc +50% mods on adept bow on UH NG+) and show its single vent, not to mention its overheat bar will quickly go down after the burning state is done so you need to constantly shooting it with fire arrows.
Another way of making things easier is using the Tearblaster weapon to tear off the lasers and machine guns. After that, I guarantee it will be SIGNIFICANTLY easier, and you have a better chance of destroying the cooling rods and all the other weak points. It took me ten tries to realise this and by then I was so ashamed of myself. Did it on ultra hard.
When you're so good at killing machines you put classical music in the background.
Me: "NEED MOAR RESOURCES" T.T
finally someone playing on very hard
You are just Awsome! That's all I can say.
Thanks for the kind words and feel free to drop by anytime.
I cheesed this fight with railgun & firegrenade launcher from the frozen wilds dlc...they're op :v
That was beautiful to watch, but that will never be me 😁
This does seem to be the best way to bring down a deathbringer. I've played the game 6 times and always used fire, bombs, and the triple arrow sharp shot bow to kill it. I never once thought about using electric bombs. Thanks.
Not a problem, feel free to drop by anytime. [ps fire is especially effective against those darn Glinthawks. absolutely knocks them down to the ground so that you can lob a bomb at it.]
Yea, I know about fire arrows and the glint hawks. They are tougher to bring down like that on NG+ Ultra Hard. I use fire and triple shot arrows. I hate those things when you're fighting other machines, LOL. Could you make a video bringing them down on Ultra Hard while in a fray like at the hunting ground with tramplers? Just bypass the tie down triaI. I subscribed, thanks.
Are you referring to the next to last major fight where you had to hold the walls at Meridian against the machine horde? I actually did have a video on how I did that section on Very Hard w/o taking any damage using the silliest tactic of taking out the first couple of DeathBringers even before the "official" fight starts down below. [ I haven't tried Ultra Hard, but I am curious ... in NG+ is the map still opened-up so that you can just fast travel to the main mission locations or do you have to walk to the area in order to activate fast travel?]
on NG+ ultra hard you have to buy the golden fast travel pack again or craft/buy regular ones, light campfires and clear the map by going to settlements/areas or overriding tall necks. You have all the same weaponry and the same armor except shadow stalwart because it's part of the main story. Everything is way more expensive so have lots of shards. I found myself getting low on wire a lot because my favorite weapon is the sharp shot bow so I had to buy wire. Off the top of my head, I think one sharp shot arrow is like 15 shards. Every machine is way more aggressive even striders and grazers. They take more ammo to bring down too. No one heavy strike even for watchers, it takes two. Shield weaver armor is not as OP either. Machines spot you easier too. You have to revisit cauldrons for over rides. I'll try to look for your video.
thank u so much i beat the game
Hopefully this video helped. :)
This dude clanging them metallic cheeks!
Magnificent
this game is really good, but god damn this boss can like commit sudoku
Thank you
no problem
Yo, you made it look so easy.
I'm going to try this again. ✌
VERY GOOD VIDEO 5 STARS☺❤❤❤❤❤
Brought him down in no time! Thanks so much for the video!!!!
Glad this helped. Feel free to drop by again anytime.
What happens if you don’t kill it in time? Is there a cinematic that plays showing people being turned into fuel for the machines?
This art 🖼
thx bro
I know you did it long ago, but wich four weapons do you recommend to use? Sorry about my bad english :s
Typically I'd go with all of the shadow weapons, so for the bow I think I'd recommend Shadow Sharpshooter since that's the one that does maximum damage. Stick on damage increase purple mods on that and you'll do fine. Also recommended is the shadow blast sling, for this particular enemy focus on getting mods that increase electric damage. That's what I can remember, hope it helps.
Nicely done though even if it's not in Ultra Hard difficulty
Honestly a good strategy. Before I just took it out by dodging and hitting the weak points and setting it on fire, which worked well but definitely got me hit a few times lol
That being said I can pretty much destroy the bosses in a few hits with the new game+ weapons
Do you have a vid on how to kill the corruptor fast?
I'm out of ammo on beating this beast. Help please!
I don’t know if I’ll be able to do this, I’ve got peanuts in terms of high damage ammo that isn’t hard point arrows, regular arrows, tear blast arrows, sling bombs, and traps. I may have to reload a save and go back and grind to make sure that I have plenty of ammo and potions and herb based heals
what if i havent precision arrows only normal arrows?
I kinda feel bad for the little guy
Yeah the "little guy" that was going to destroy the entire humanity
@@HBDiniz10 yeah screw that lmao, can't let that happen.
I went into the fight with 0 arrows so I’ve never actually completed the game because I can’t kill it and wasn’t gonna restart the game
Fun fact: by scanning HADES the focus will tell you that it's a horus Core. He Also corrupted the deathbringer. This means, he had acess to core of cauldron or facility inside of horus. So if we were about to find horus he was found in (one with working computer Core) we could override it and use IT to overide any ancient machine
What is Horus?
How much shock does it take to stun this Deathbringer? I see you doing it in about 5 or 6 bombs. I tried to do this with my Banuk Champion Bow with shock rating of 55, which is pretty darn good considering the max value on ultra hard is like 75. I had to hit it with 24 to 30 shock arrows to stun it (8 to 10 triple shots). So, my best guess is that it takes about 1200 shock or so to stun it. But you seem to be doing it with about 500 total shock. Did they patch it to make this fight more difficult? If my numbers are correct for the current version of the game and you're playing in Story Mode difficulty and you have your shock rating maxed on that sling to 225, that would take 6 shots. Thus, in my opinion this seems to be a great strategy on Story Mode difficulty. Easy through Very Hard would take 8 to 9 bombs on a maxed out sling or 6 triple shots on a maxed out Banuk Champion Bow. So, I suppose you could make that work. I couldn't really make it work on Ultra Hard though. But, this is a lot of conjecture on my part and of course just my opinion. When I fight this dude on Ultra Hard, I find it much faster and easier to just use the cover provided and pound its weak spots with precision and hard point arrows.
Those slingshot bombs leave an elemental field on the ground which can add up the elemental bar (or at least prevent the bar goes down quickly) if enemy stay in that area, and since deathbringer is a very slow moving target it works even better. Also notice that slingshot in video has a shock value of 118? He probably goes all-in for shock coil on that weapon.
Strange question. The last machine for me to scan to get the trophy and I cannot find them anywhere, are corrupters! Are they only foind in story related quests? Checked the desert area with the Tallneck and can't find any. Is there any way to just run up to them from a good distance and scan them in the final battle or kinda hard with all the action that happens in the end.
Yeah, I think Corruptors can only be found in a couple of main story quests
Wow 😲 I like the way
It's actually pretty easy: use the rattler gun to shoot the turrets and the machine guns and you'll lower its health in no time. Make sure you dodge a lot
Why don't u use tearblast arrows for components on the deathbringer?
Yeah looks like I'll not to get rid of some stuff and redo this over
Idk what to do i can't craft arrows so I'm basically stuck can anyone help me
I beat this boss with just the bow and arrow, on my second try, did with 10 seconds remaining,
How is it possible that you can see the Deathbringer's health bar on Very hard mode?
Whoever did this must’ve trained with aloy.. first hand 😆😆
How about ice elemental then The icicle shot from the icerail?
So I grind down to the third of the Deathbringer"s health, then a Sawtooth appears out of nowhere, kills me instantly, THEN the game decides it will save my fight and from then on I continue everytime with no health, a sawtooth and a grazer AND the Deathbringer back to FULL health and the time down considerably of course. WTF??????
Can u tell how to make a best weapon wheel as u have.
My question is: can I go out of the HADES fight and come back because I don't have any arrows?
So how do you defeat it without any decent weapons and little blaze
I'm at level 32, and don't have even half of the stuff you have. No shock arrows or freeze stuff. Wow, this mech is hard with limited stuff!
I had to die like four times before I figured this same method out 😝 wish I had seen this video before that!!!
That's a darn shame, but hey at least you get the satisfaction of figuring it out yourself XD
listen hear bithdjddj stop flexing holy shit ive died like 20 times im going to cry
James hahah 20 lol
Got him 1st try 😂
James does that make me a MEGA FLEXER?
My savior!!! lol
Well I wasn't as prepared as him but I managed to beat the deathbringer gg I never felt so much joy
over preparation is my name. XD
Where did ypu buy the weapons?
The best game with the best ending
Nice trick like
Bryan Marin ayup lad nice trick like ya wanka
Who didn’t have as many things as this guy and just spammed the caster and the sharpshooter bow
Please Help Cheng Teoh please I cannot kill that deathbringer I do not have such power weapons and armor
This part is very hard on easy mode! I’m afraid to even try it on hard!
How do you do the yo-yo with the electric balls do you have to buy them from a merchant or do you earn them from a side quest? Other than that this has been really helpful TY
I was trying to decipher what you meant by "yo-yo with the electric balls" and realized that you meant the Slings and can hurl elemental bombs. Those can be bought at most stores if I recall. But for the one I'm using in the video - the "Lodge Blast Sling" variant you have to complete all the Hunting Grounds. I think the Shadow Blast Sling should be enough to fight this boss ... it can be bought at Meridian for a bunch of shards & a lancehorn heart. Hope that helps out.
@@ChengTeoh that helps a lot thank you but if you don't mind me asking I have another thing to Ask how do you quickly switch between the slingshot and the bow and arrow I'm having a bit of trouble on how to Do That
@@geezy8689 hmm I don't really know how to answer that with anything that could be helpful. I'd imagine that if you have the game on PC you could do customize mapping your keyboard keys to fast equip weapons ... like set the bow for key 1, set the sling to key 2, etc etc. But as for the controller ... I just got used to quick weapon switching after doing it for a long time that I can't really recall how it felt when I started playing the game and was getting use to all the steps necessary to do what I wanted to do.
@@ChengTeohmy biggest problem right now is that I’m playing it in ultra hard mode and I lost a lot of health in the first two phases (before getting up to The Spire) and the only weapon I have that is actually capable of even leaving a dent in the Deathbringer is Blast Wire, and even so I can’t go up to it without getting completely blasted to bits! I do have the Shieldweaver Armor but it barely does anything to keep me going. Any tips would be helpful.😅
@@LuckyTheCat256 If I remember correctly the Shield-weaver armor has relatively lower shield HP as you increase the game difficulty ... but on the plus side since the shield has lower HP it recharges faster. The only problem is on higher difficulties I do remember vaguely that even a Watcher has the ability to knock out that shield with just a well placed body slam on Ultra Hard. I can't imagine attempting this boss on Ultra hard with just the Blast Wire ... unless if you have a fully upgraded Shadow Tripcaster.
Hmm, do you by any chance have the Icerail Thrower? If you do, you should be able to temporarily freeze the Deathbringer which should make it easier to chip away at the health with a triple shot precision arrows towards the shoulder cannons first while strafing side to side to avoid the missiles. each triple shot should be doing around 1400 damage hopefully if you've decent mods to put on the weapon.
if your weapon can do that much damage per triple shot then you should be able to kill the deathbringer before it unfreezes.
I think the key is you need a weapon that does freeze well. from what I remember you can do more damage on most completely frozen enemies.
Now that I think about it there are several elevated positions that you can take advantage of as well as some high walls you can take cover behind if you don't have enough firepower to kill it quickly.
That's about all I can think of. Freezing imo is the most effective way to slow it down making it somewhat easier to beat. Hope my thoughts helps out a bit.
how in the actual f*ck can I go back to this game years after realizing i can't change the controls to have upper bumpers be aim and shoot etc(on console). but also because this boss was too hard at the time as well when i played it from start to finish i still couldn't do it. i am desperately trying to finish this game on EASY let me tell you. this deathbringer can honestly SMD.
