this game is so insanely good - i’m playing through my first run right now (late to the party) but i’m constantly being blown away by just minor details throughout the game
weston407 same here man!! I didn’t get a PS4 until the Spider-Man PS4 Pro edition came out and I’ve been catching up on all the PS exclusives (I had an Xbox One since most of my friends were on that console) and this game is amazing. Still learning it but I’ve already put around 37 hours in the past 4-5 days.
first time saw thunderjaw when i was going to meridian at level 15 i think and it was 26 i had normal bow with normal and fire arrows i overrided a sawtooth and lured thunderjaw to it and start attacking thinking " what could possibly go wrong" he killed my sawtooth in 2 hits chase me everywhere i was kitting with my bow until i used all my matrials and can't craft arrows anymore and the thing is still half health i thought about running then it would be a waste of alot of materials and arrows so i just killed my self it was very intense 10/10 would try again
On my 1st meeting it i shot a tripple tearblast to its back which teared zhe big artillery from its back. After that i just shot it with the cheap tear arrows until its heart became visible. All he was doing is using his eye laser which never hit because of sideway movement. Sometimes it charged but its slow compared to a sawtooth. Overall wasnt too difficult just used a lot of arrows to tickle down its big hp pool. I would say sawtooths are giving me more trouble than this titan.
@@W4VE_X same i was so freakin comfident i do break his a lot of parts but somehow he killed me i really Loving doing side quest i mean they are enjoyable like the ersa murder quest and so many more even tho my favorite ones are bandit camps 🌚 i always kill all the humans very quietly tbh that's fun instead of fighting with everyone i lose stealth kills
I feel like I did the same, was around the same level when I went to meridian and passed him. Saw him above the ledge there and ducked down. Crept quietly on to meridian and thought 'nope, not today'. lol.
Not to be a hater or anything I'm actually further in the game but nothing is more fun than actually fighting them ripping off their guns and shooting them back with its effective and you actually use less resources.
if it spots you it will go in attack mode and at that point no telling if it is going to shoot shit and trip the bombs with projectiles or turn and run the other way. gets more complicated.
I just ended the game at level 50 or something and can confirm, that Stormbirds are still total bitches for me. Not hard, but out of my comfort zone. You know what *is* hard though? A swarm of those other birds, whatever they were called. Jesus christ man. The assholes that come from the ground are pretty nasty too. But Thunderjaws? Easy.
Robert Bay When I was still a young level something outcast I thought sawtooths were the coolest monsters out there. Then I saw the Thunderjaw, Like the big brother of sawtooth with guns. I reached max level I discovered there are far more powerful machines than thunderjaw, but I still think it's still the coolest out there.
I did this to a Stormbird once. I hammered him with everything I had, and I was out of all but regular arrows and tripcasters. I said Fuck it! and laid down 12 of them, and the poor birdo tried to divebomb me, and hit all but 2. BOOM! Dead stormbird.
Because a thunderjaw isn`t the hardest kill or fight in the game perhaps? Especially if you know the tricks. There is also a easy way to kill it using the Tearblaster and the discs it drops. So the mods you get from it, will come in handy later in the game.
If you use 14 Tripcaster lines, then finish him off with something else in the end, you'll respawn with 15 Tripmine wires - reducing the cost and dramatically increasing the gains.
There's a spot not terribly far from there (northwest I believe) that is next to a campfire and has two thunderjaws. I found it is much easier and faster to just overide one and while they fight each other shoot the guns off the other. It takes no time for your (now weakened) thunderjaw to dispose of the other one. pickup the guns from the fallen and destroy your weakened thunderjaw. Takes me about the same amount of time to kill two thunderjaws as it took for you to shoot 15 Tripcaster traps.
HEPHAESTUS: No you can’t just instantly kill the Thunderjaw they’re my ultimate killing machine that I meticulously crafted to stop humans hunting the terraformers! Aloy: Haha landmines go *Tiny Tina noises*
I really love Horizon but farming is not really necessary at all for this game. I did all side quests before I continued on with the main missions and by the time I was getting toward the final missions I had already reached level 50, had all skills and every weapon and upgrade. Farming early on will just make this game way too easy. For an open world game, the platinum trophy was a piece of cake. You can get it on one play through.
i beat the game at like lvl 38 without getting any of the cauldrons or getting any of the special weapons my primary weapon was the shadow hunter bow using the Pierceing arrows. i didnt start doing the sidequest and the trials till i had already finished the main story. all i have left to do is hit the grazer dummies collect metal flowers and get tall the other collectables.
you beat the game without being able to override any of the cool stuff? and why did you decide to do that, as for me overriding and just seeing machines tear each other apart was the coolest part of the game
I remembered the first time I met this machine and I was like "I don't want to play anymore" And then I learnt how to use tripcaster, apocalypse ain't got nothing on me now.
Lmao my first reaction when I came across one of those things when I was severely under leveled was " I'm gonna kill it!!!". Took a while but I managed it. I was salty af when I found the disc launcher after i killed it though. that would have made things so much easier
The first one I fought was in the cauldron and yeah...took a few deaths before I realized I should use the tripcaster and break off the disk launchers to use.
Joshua Jin Yea but they don't follow u... and there is no thunder jaw next to this one... If u can get one to follow u make video and post cause I would love to see it
Dude. It doesnt need to be this place. They drop 3 rares regardless and there is another spot that has two Thunderjaws like Josh said, so just override one and then kill the other. Just like those stupid Rockbreakers, you need to override one to fight the other or its near impossible on Very Hard..
To make this cheaper, you can also use the disk launchers to do a lot of damage. Northeast of this spot is another Thunderjaw, so you don't have to go through the hassle of reloading the game.
There is a skill that allows you to pick up traps that haven’t detonated. But when you use the lure call, it depends on the angle you are at when used to manipulate the particular movements of machines. I myself have never tried this method out, I’ve already had fun with blowing off his two guns and using them to disc his ass down, set him on fire and blast his generator with armor pen arrows.
I know people are moaning about how much cooler they all think they are for using its own launchers. But this is awesome finally a new take on how to kill it. Sure its probably super expensive but it looked hilarious! I killed about 30 thunderjaws on very hard and just freezing it with ice and blasting it with the disc launcher or precision arrows/bombs is what everyone does. Top marks for originality and 1hit ko was amazing. Thanks for uploading! :D
Whats it the point of microwaving popcorn? It should be a grueling battle against a bonfire with a burnt oven mitt trying to cook the unpopped corn. As awesome as that sounds sometimes its nice to just microwave it in seconds. At the very least this was not something I thought you could do and found the vid entertaining in that regard.
Seriously. Pretty much any gaming video ever is a page flooded with "yeah, but im so cool brah and i umm shot with umm stuff brah and like game mechanics and im fuckin cool brah" type comments. No one gives a shit how you killed it, they came here because they gave a shit about how this guy 1 shots it, which is fucking hilarious.
I agree, This is good for people who are low level or really suck ass at the game and just can't deal with the thunderjaws aggressiveness but they still want some mods, or people who can do the usual disc launcher method but want a more laid back approach to farming. Hell I already beat the game and had them on farm with my shield weaver armor but didn't even think about trying this method which is far more multi-task friendly
This video might be 3 years old, but for a new player playing on PC like me these videos of HZD on your channel very helpful for me. Thanks man, another sub for you!
I really love the wire traps in this game, I usually hate them but the ability to put them wherever and however you want makes them so satisfying to use.
Great strategy. I know there are other ways to kill thunderjaw but I've been looking for other ways like this to see how other gamers deal with the monster. Kudos for the creativity.
See a lot of people don’t understand the Benefits of learning other gamers strategies. Regardless if they use his way or not it’s cool to see everyone’s way of doing things. Instead there’s 100 people bashing his method and saying their way is best. I keep forgetting the majority age group Im referencing. It’s just irritating.
This is a good way if you want to get coils fast at early levels. For me, I just like to set up a bunch of traps, take out the sensor on top, the launchers on the side with the Pulse Arrow and then attack it with its own weapons, leading it into more traps until it dies.
There's also another trick that can be used to easily kill the Thunderjaw without even getting hit by him. Just go to the Sun Furrows Hunting Grounds and jump to the lower level of the hill (you can't shoot from the highest spot since it's a starting point for hunting trials). Then start shooting at the Thunderjaw located below. Use tearblast arrows to get rid of his disc launchers and cannons first and he won't be able to attack you. Even if he gets very close, there's nothing he can do from below (his only range attack left is laser sweep but it shouldn't hit you through the rocks). Just watch out for Ravagers and Watchers wandering around. Most of the time they will remain in yellow state and won't get close to you but occasionally one of them may get close enough to attack.
I know of the place. And yeah, you can even take control of the ravagers for an even easier fight. Hell, they even try and show you to do this in the trial thats there
Probably the safest way to farm it. Although by level 40 and above they are not so scary anymore, especially if you have the Tearblaster from the Hunting Lodge. I usually start with several shots from the Tearblaster, to remove all armor and the disk launchers, then follow with several ice arrows to freeze it for double damage and then use its own disk launchers to tear the beast apart. After that, if it still alive, you can repeat the ice combo and finish it with some hardpoint arrows through the armor holes. It should take about 3 to 5 minutes on Very Hard.
Fireclaws (and frostclaws) are some of my favorite machines to kill. It's so much fun shooting those sacs they have all over their bodies and watching pieces of them explode while you dodge around and avoid their attacks. :)
I remember my first thunderjaw. It must have killed me like 20 times before I finally chipped away its health from a hidy spot up in the mountains. Now I just follow this order of events. Ropecaster --> Freeze Bombs --> Rattler. Absolutely wrecks them.
So many ideas for so many things now just popped into my head all at once. Someone lower level can rush over there and get all sort of goodies to help them out early on
it depends on what mode your playing on too, I think I have 3 50% damage coils on my tripcaster and on easy mode that's around 1K damage, but on ultra hard mode its like around 300
Very useful that - thank you. I am really digging HZD for the first time on PC. Brilliant game, but I'm predominantly a shooter and not into bows and arrows and melee fighting, so tips like this are welcome. 👍
I love watching this. I have done this several times. I have also used the freeze attack and just going nuts with either arrows or using the disk launchers as well. Currently working to 100% the game in Ultra Hard Mode (yep first run through the game and decided on god mode. Insanity yes but awesome at the same time). Fun to watch and have enjoyed what others post as well. So far I mainly stick to freezing it and going offer the protected heart. Hitting for 1440 points when frozen (yes 3 arrows at a time) and drop it in three shots. Keep up with the posts of new ways to drop creatures while we wait to see if the 2018 E3 rumors from the developer pan out. Supposedly they are hiring up the staff right now to bring us the next chapter. Time will tell but keep bringing the take downs.
Just did the same thing. Skipped the garden walk first run-through and just booted the game on UH right out of the box. First watcher was a pain. First sawtooth was a pain. First corruptor was a real pain. First thunderjaw was in the unlock cauldron and damn I must have put 80 heavy ropes in him and all sling bombs and damn near everything else before I got that big fellow down for good. A bunch of tripwires doesn't even make a proper dent. Shooting him with both disc launchers doesn't bring him down either. Just patience, a lot of tough love and a lot of ropes seems to do the trick. Luv the game, luv the UH (and hate it). 60+ hours in and still some miles to go before I hit the frozen expansion stuff.
haha nice! that was awesome. i just go to the spot where there are TWO Thunderjaws (in the little snowy valley north of Greatrun Hunting Grounds on the map), override one, then watch them duke it out and assist my Thunderjaw a little if necessary, then get my loot from the one it killed. minimal resources and it's entertaining haha, try it out. great video btw
i remember when i first passed that going to meridian. i was like “ima quit. theres no way im beating that” then i came across this video three yrs ago. a couple hours and grinding later i killed it abt five times. hip-hip hooray.
Everyone is saying that you use so many resources to do this..but you can reuse them if you get the skill that allows you to. You can just pick them back up and use them again later. That being said, I've never done it myself as I barely use the tripcaster, but you can do it.
Great guide for who doesn't have Shield Weaver armor yet. Second method is to shoot its cannon with tearblast arrow and then take the cannon and shoot Thunderjaw.
Amazing.. thanks a lot for this guide..I've just completed the story mode & now doing the side quests. I need more damage coil mods so I'm gonna do this now instead of the old 'shoot off the disc launcher & use them on the Thunderjaw' method because its quick & just super simple.👏🏼👏👏🏻👏🏽👏🏿👏🏾
I like this method. Helps get good mods to then fight the flying machines that the traps dont work for. Cheers for makimg a vid on this. And for explaining how you done it. Most vids just saw the weapon and thats it.
Use the Tearblaster you get from the hunting lodge quest, it will 1 shot a disk launcher off a thunderjaw, do that, pick it up & blast away - 10 times faster & much more fun
GeneralLeeRetarded do it I just did it yesterday it's worth it but make sure you farm stalkers for echo shells and a another rec that stalkers drop as well (the tear blaster uses those to rec and not metal shards)
idk why people say theyre the best in the game when the dmg on the lodge weapons are the same on the shadow variants... the only difference is the way the weapons look they have the same ammo the same dmg numbers and the same mod slots... .-. i really dont get it.
I actually avoided tripcasters for my whole playthrough because I felt they were kinda cheap and made things too easy. Also I just preferred the feel of a solid arrow hitting machine steel.
A more dynamic approach to the tripcaster not related to this video is to shoot the ground while the other end is still in your weapon and run around positioning yourself to shoot under the machine's feet. You don't need to wait and lure them.
Best thing about this is that you need to farm for shards and lenses just to get the shadow tripcaster. Then you have to farm for the modifications to even make this possible
Awesome video. It's cool to see all the different way people do things. I personally just use 3x Tear Arrows. 1 in each launcher then 1 in his body just onfront of his legs to reveal his heart. Then just run over, pick up his launcher and go to town on his heart. Can kill them in about 30 seconds
Not to say your method is bad or anything but your method is long and it uses a lot of resources. I use a shadow sharpshot bow, a shadow hunter bow and a lodge war bow. On your war bow put your best freezing coils on all 3 spots available. For the hunter bow use your two best handling coils and your best damage coil. And for the sharpshot bow you dont need to put anything, only use it for tearblast arrows. What you are gonna want to do is use your triple shot skill with the war bow with your freeze arrows to freeze him when you knock off his disc launcher with your tearblast arrow (just use one). When you freeze him quickly grab his disc launcher and unload everything at him. That should be enough and you should have an easy kill in about 50 seconds or a minute. However you may miss some shots with the disc launcher, and this is where the hunter bow comes in handy. Thanks to the handling you put on the bow you can easily shoot like a machine gun and since he is frozen it will do a crap ton of damage. I prefer to use the triple shot skill with this and get it prepared before starting a battle with the thunderjaw but it doesn't matter either way. Happy hunting guys
This time consuming and wasteful. Easiest? Maybe. Fastest is hands down the following: Tearblast disc launcher > tie down > use disc launcher to expose core and f-up its leg (can't move fast) > Freeze > Easy heart shots. Get long dodge skill to get angles on it faster. Should take you 20-30 seconds - maybe less with no wasted shots/good angle on core. When you can do this on Very Hard, you've got no issues. Most difficult machine in the game is the Stormbird.
I wish they made a way for you to ride one of these into battle.It's nothing greater than playing this in 4k(checkerboard) on a big scene tv.I really hope the sequel improves the A.I and gives us better replayability.I would like a spinoff game that's similar to a prequel where you play from the stand point of the military when the machines first arrive and attack.
This is hilarious! Instant death of the toughest machine! XD (only possible on difficulty Normal or lower, as harder lowers the weapons damages) Thanks for sharing! I get a lot out of videos like this
+Don Strijb You're not hitting them in the right place then. Try freezing it and start shooting the disc launcher at the red battery looking thing on their sides! or the nexus hub thing on their forehead!! You can take it out with a single disc launcher if you shoot the right spots, and its a lot easier if they're tied down and if they're frozen, they take a Lot more damage.
Then you are not doing it "correctly" =P Tear off both disc cannons, Freeze thunderjaw and pump the discs into him. Best way to kill him in very hard in my opinion.
Quinn Broers yea I tie down freeze him then load up 3 hardpoints shoot the disc launcher use it get the other disc launcher and takes 40sec basically to kill it
Not only is it far too time consuming to sit there and place 15 trip wires exactly on top of each other (when you can just freeze arrow -> concentration and hardpoint arrow the heart or top of head) but if you actually need the purple mods enough to 'farm' them just go a little to the west to the hunting ground there. Kill the ravagers and use the ravager cannons to kill the constantly respawning thunderjaw there. 1 full clip from a ravager cannon can kill a thunderjaw (or anything really, fucking things op)
It is more fun to fight it and I will kill every time because I have the invincible armor but I still liked the video because this is an informational video for the people who need help with this
Yup, this confirms it. I've left messages in your Rockbreaker and Stormbird videos, and now I'm sure. SOMETHING has been patched, these don't work anymore. Or, at least, not as efficiently. In this case, I have the Tripcaster at 462 damage and I only have 1 empty mark left. No way to hit 522 with 2 and a half left. Also, apparently you can now drop more than 15 wires. But the enemy AI responds to it (kinda sorta), so.
Seriously tho, don't underestimate the Rattler against the bigger, tougher machines. Damage modding it will freaking melt bigger machines, specially if you freeze them first. The Shadow Rattler is great for inflicting Freeze as well. So many ppl hate on the Rattler but it is pretty OP if you know how to properly use it.
Jesus that thunderjaw had a family
Akutagawa Atsushi 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I doubt he has a woman in his taste and size
Aram Tapacian nah he probably does
lmao
he does ? good so we can kill them for glory too XD

weston407 I’m gonna play the game again just to experience the amazingness
if we could override the stormbird and fly around it would be the perfect game
And it's getting released on pc!
I just keep playing it as it is still ahead of so many games in graphics and I just so much fun to play

outta nowhere :D
Me too ... Feel sorry for him :(

Why is no one mentioning she ran RIGHT INTO THAT CACTUS and just shrugged it off??? Badass!
To make this cheaper, you can also use the disk launchers to do a lot of damage. Northeast of this spot is another Thunderjaw, so you don't have to go through the hassle of reloading the game.
Only takes a couple seconds to reload.
6 years on and this game still looks fantastic. They really made a masterpiece. I hope in a few years time this game has many many sequels.
Imagine placing all this and then he sidesteps it just around the edge
Or just steps over it like they always do to me.
Yup this the reason I don't use them much for big targets like the behemoth and thunderjaw most of the time they avoid the trap.
There is a skill that allows you to pick up traps that haven’t detonated. But when you use the lure call, it depends on the angle you are at when used to manipulate the particular movements of machines. I myself have never tried this method out, I’ve already had fun with blowing off his two guns and using them to disc his ass down, set him on fire and blast his generator with armor pen arrows.
I know people are moaning about how much cooler they all think they are for using its own launchers. But this is awesome finally a new take on how to kill it. Sure its probably super expensive but it looked hilarious! I killed about 30 thunderjaws on very hard and just freezing it with ice and blasting it with the disc launcher or precision arrows/bombs is what everyone does. Top marks for originality and 1hit ko was amazing. Thanks for uploading! :D
But what is the fun of killing an enemy within a second?
Whats it the point of microwaving popcorn? It should be a grueling battle against a bonfire with a burnt oven mitt trying to cook the unpopped corn. As awesome as that sounds sometimes its nice to just microwave it in seconds. At the very least this was not something I thought you could do and found the vid entertaining in that regard.
Seriously. Pretty much any gaming video ever is a page flooded with "yeah, but im so cool brah and i umm shot with umm stuff brah and like game mechanics and im fuckin cool brah" type comments.
No one gives a shit how you killed it, they came here because they gave a shit about how this guy 1 shots it, which is fucking hilarious.
Okey, lol. Nice example.
I agree, This is good for people who are low level or really suck ass at the game and just can't deal with the thunderjaws aggressiveness but they still want some mods, or people who can do the usual disc launcher method but want a more laid back approach to farming. Hell I already beat the game and had them on farm with my shield weaver armor but didn't even think about trying this method which is far more multi-task friendly
I prefer the old fashion way. Just letting it see me and drowning it with arrows while tumbling and weaving till it falls. It's just satisfying.
harodri01 Until he one shots you with a tail swipe
@@glaivinggaming9625 Thats why you buy the Melee Armor with 2 Melee damage reduction mods.
remove head armor, freeze it, shoot brain with triple shot.
if done using the best banuk champion bow and powershot bow...its down in a few arrows.
@@IlNamelessKinglI
U mean the adept version...with 3 mods.
Very useful in new game +
This video might be 3 years old, but for a new player playing on PC like me these videos of HZD on your channel very helpful for me. Thanks man, another sub for you!
Yah downloaded this game yesterday too
There's a place northwest on the map with two Behemoths. Use a few corruption arrows and they kill each other and that's 6 purple mods
Thats a good tip, though I don't see myself farming much.
you can kill behemoths really easily by just exploding the freeze canisters on the backs, no corruption arrows required
there are ravagers nearby. I ripped of their guns and killed both Behemoths in 5seconds.
0 talk, 0 clickbait, 0 bullshit, 100% helpful, amazing bro thanks and SUBBED !
I really love the wire traps in this game, I usually hate them but the ability to put them wherever and however you want makes them so satisfying to use.
Great strategy. I know there are other ways to kill thunderjaw but I've been looking for other ways like this to see how other gamers deal with the monster. Kudos for the creativity.
Yasha Finally a good comment. I swear some people can't just enjoy the creativity of the video rather than the practicality.
See a lot of people don’t understand the Benefits of learning other gamers strategies. Regardless if they use his way or not it’s cool to see everyone’s way of doing things. Instead there’s 100 people bashing his method and saying their way is best. I keep forgetting the majority age group Im referencing. It’s just irritating.
there are people who appreciate the art of doing things
this guy:
this way you are wasting losds of resources to craft the traps tho.. its much easier if you use its own disc launchers to kill it
Mostafa Haque there's a skill that gives you more ammo for the same amount of resources used.
Yep I have it, it's called "Ammo Crafter"... it's under the Gatherer skill tree under Forager, (third icon) the third skill down.
It's more fun that way too.
true, and way more fun to shoot the disc launchers
Yes the freeze effect + disc launcher X1 = Thunderjaw is down👍
Get the shadow weaver armour and beat it with your staff to death
Is what i did :'D
While screaming "YOU SHALL NOT PASS ". Lol
No get the ultra weave armor
better, kill it with a spoon
Admiral Ackbar dead space?
"How to instakill a thunderjaw ?"
"You just have to have a trip mine who makes insane damages"
"Ah, just that ? Wait 5 seconds, I'll get it."
This is a good way if you want to get coils fast at early levels. For me, I just like to set up a bunch of traps, take out the sensor on top, the launchers on the side with the Pulse Arrow and then attack it with its own weapons, leading it into more traps until it dies.
Oh God, I feel so bad for that ThunderJaw, he just wanna play with you. :(
*Sets up a bomb with a trip-wire the thickness of a log*
" 'ERE FISHY FISHY FISHY!!"
*explosion sounds and death throes*
There's also another trick that can be used to easily kill the Thunderjaw without even getting hit by him. Just go to the Sun Furrows Hunting Grounds and jump to the lower level of the hill (you can't shoot from the highest spot since it's a starting point for hunting trials). Then start shooting at the Thunderjaw located below. Use tearblast arrows to get rid of his disc launchers and cannons first and he won't be able to attack you. Even if he gets very close, there's nothing he can do from below (his only range attack left is laser sweep but it shouldn't hit you through the rocks). Just watch out for Ravagers and Watchers wandering around. Most of the time they will remain in yellow state and won't get close to you but occasionally one of them may get close enough to attack.
I know of the place. And yeah, you can even take control of the ravagers for an even easier fight. Hell, they even try and show you to do this in the trial thats there
That's where I killed my first thunderjaw, but forgot the location
Probably the safest way to farm it. Although by level 40 and above they are not so scary anymore, especially if you have the Tearblaster from the Hunting Lodge. I usually start with several shots from the Tearblaster, to remove all armor and the disk launchers, then follow with several ice arrows to freeze it for double damage and then use its own disk launchers to tear the beast apart. After that, if it still alive, you can repeat the ice combo and finish it with some hardpoint arrows through the armor holes. It should take about 3 to 5 minutes on Very Hard.
That's a creative way to kill it, that's for sure!
There is no way this is creative lol, it’s basically lazy farming
"Tripcaster Bomb is not a joke, Aloy! Millions of Thunderjaw suffer every year!"
Damn that explosion was crazy. Laughed my ass off to see that hulking machine fall down in one hit
2:56 "rest in pieces"
Fireclaw: laughs silently*
*Battery Facility flashbacks*
Because Fireclaws are resistant to explosives.
Fireclaws (and frostclaws) are some of my favorite machines to kill. It's so much fun shooting those sacs they have all over their bodies and watching pieces of them explode while you dodge around and avoid their attacks. :)
Playing this gem of a game in 2022. One of the best experiences I've had in a long time. Thanks for the tips. I'm going to test is soon.
I remember my first thunderjaw. It must have killed me like 20 times before I finally chipped away its health from a hidy spot up in the mountains. Now I just follow this order of events. Ropecaster --> Freeze Bombs --> Rattler. Absolutely wrecks them.
Now with the DLC Sharpshot Bow you can just snipe a Thunderjaw to death.
How can I get that!
Idk why i felt bad... he looked like a really big cat just before it happened
what's with girls and cats. its just a game. why do have to bring the cat thing. first of all its a reptile and not related to cat family in any way.
So many ideas for so many things now just popped into my head all at once. Someone lower level can rush over there and get all sort of goodies to help them out early on
2:59 it was just that last step..when he realized he fucked up lmao! Damn I’m doing this great video
it depends on what mode your playing on too, I think I have 3 50% damage coils on my tripcaster and on easy mode that's around 1K damage, but on ultra hard mode its like around 300
Dude, this even works on the Daemomic Thunderjaw!
Thanks for making the video.
It does?!?!?! It's so hard not to get spotted by him-- I've got to try this on him! 0_0
@@princessthyemis Have you tried it yet lol?
Very useful that - thank you. I am really digging HZD for the first time on PC. Brilliant game, but I'm predominantly a shooter and not into bows and arrows and melee fighting, so tips like this are welcome. 👍
I love watching this. I have done this several times. I have also used the freeze attack and just going nuts with either arrows or using the disk launchers as well. Currently working to 100% the game in Ultra Hard Mode (yep first run through the game and decided on god mode. Insanity yes but awesome at the same time).
Fun to watch and have enjoyed what others post as well.
So far I mainly stick to freezing it and going offer the protected heart. Hitting for 1440 points when frozen (yes 3 arrows at a time) and drop it in three shots.
Keep up with the posts of new ways to drop creatures while we wait to see if the 2018 E3 rumors from the developer pan out.
Supposedly they are hiring up the staff right now to bring us the next chapter.
Time will tell but keep bringing the take downs.
Just did the same thing. Skipped the garden walk first run-through and just booted the game on UH right out of the box. First watcher was a pain. First sawtooth was a pain. First corruptor was a real pain. First thunderjaw was in the unlock cauldron and damn I must have put 80 heavy ropes in him and all sling bombs and damn near everything else before I got that big fellow down for good. A bunch of tripwires doesn't even make a proper dent. Shooting him with both disc launchers doesn't bring him down either. Just patience, a lot of tough love and a lot of ropes seems to do the trick. Luv the game, luv the UH (and hate it). 60+ hours in and still some miles to go before I hit the frozen expansion stuff.
tearblaster to disc launcher, freeze him (optional), grab disc launcher, basically instakill.
haha nice! that was awesome. i just go to the spot where there are TWO Thunderjaws (in the little snowy valley north of Greatrun Hunting Grounds on the map), override one, then watch them duke it out and assist my Thunderjaw a little if necessary, then get my loot from the one it killed. minimal resources and it's entertaining haha, try it out. great video btw
I was burnt out on gaming but there’s something about Horizon that I just enjoyed
Thanks for showing in detail on the map where to go. Most show you the map for two sec. Good tip
i remember when i first passed that going to meridian. i was like “ima quit. theres no way im beating that” then i came across this video three yrs ago. a couple hours and grinding later i killed it abt five times. hip-hip hooray.
Yea but on what difficulty did you do this on? I don’t see that working on hard or nightmare
Everyone is saying that you use so many resources to do this..but you can reuse them if you get the skill that allows you to. You can just pick them back up and use them again later. That being said, I've never done it myself as I barely use the tripcaster, but you can do it.
Great guide for who doesn't have Shield Weaver armor yet. Second method is to shoot its cannon with tearblast arrow and then take the cannon and shoot Thunderjaw.
I feel like you use more resources then you receive.
I thought the title said "Thunderjew".
cyborg shane no im not in this game
Lmao
cyborg shane lmao
Don't think there are any gas traps though
equally as dangerous still
Amazing.. thanks a lot for this guide..I've just completed the story mode & now doing the side quests. I need more damage coil mods so I'm gonna do this now instead of the old 'shoot off the disc launcher & use them on the Thunderjaw' method because its quick & just super simple.👏🏼👏👏🏻👏🏽👏🏿👏🏾
I like this method. Helps get good mods to then fight the flying machines that the traps dont work for. Cheers for makimg a vid on this. And for explaining how you done it. Most vids just saw the weapon and thats it.
Use the Tearblaster you get from the hunting lodge quest, it will 1 shot a disk launcher off a thunderjaw, do that, pick it up & blast away - 10 times faster & much more fun
Wut...Ive beaten this game and am like level 40 but dont have that lol, ive kinda been avoiding that questline...
GeneralLeeRetarded do those missions man, you get some of the most powerful weapons in the game. the sling is so op i feel bad whenever i use it lol
GeneralLeeRetarded do it I just did it yesterday it's worth it but make sure you farm stalkers for echo shells and a another rec that stalkers drop as well (the tear blaster uses those to rec and not metal shards)
idk why people say theyre the best in the game when the dmg on the lodge weapons are the same on the shadow variants... the only difference is the way the weapons look they have the same ammo the same dmg numbers and the same mod slots... .-. i really dont get it.
spent entirely too much time on gettn lodge weapons. biitches are way overrated
And in my play through I thought the Tripcaster was useless... Jesus.
Dude tripcaster are pretty good if you can quickly deploy it at your enemies while fighting so that you can stun it
I actually avoided tripcasters for my whole playthrough because I felt they were kinda cheap and made things too easy. Also I just preferred the feel of a solid arrow hitting machine steel.
A more dynamic approach to the tripcaster not related to this video is to shoot the ground while the other end is still in your weapon and run around positioning yourself to shoot under the machine's feet. You don't need to wait and lure them.
Best thing about this is that you need to farm for shards and lenses just to get the shadow tripcaster. Then you have to farm for the modifications to even make this possible
Thx dude. I'd definitely recommend this tactic for cauldron zeta!
i played this for 100 hours and had no idea u could use the tripcaster this way
Cloud Air how else you used it? Like only one wire at a time?
I never used one. So now, I am. XD
Awesome video. It's cool to see all the different way people do things. I personally just use 3x Tear Arrows. 1 in each launcher then 1 in his body just onfront of his legs to reveal his heart. Then just run over, pick up his launcher and go to town on his heart. Can kill them in about 30 seconds
I forgot all about the traps. I'm glad I stumbled upon this video. Helped me beat the one in Cauldron Zeta.
How do you get a shadow tripcaster with 500 damage
He was just vibin doe, why you do him like that
Note: when people say resources they mean BLAZE everything else is super easy to find and get.
2:45 I love how you can walk face first into a cactus and feel nothing lmao
Not to say your method is bad or anything but your method is long and it uses a lot of resources. I use a shadow sharpshot bow, a shadow hunter bow and a lodge war bow. On your war bow put your best freezing coils on all 3 spots available. For the hunter bow use your two best handling coils and your best damage coil. And for the sharpshot bow you dont need to put anything, only use it for tearblast arrows. What you are gonna want to do is use your triple shot skill with the war bow with your freeze arrows to freeze him when you knock off his disc launcher with your tearblast arrow (just use one). When you freeze him quickly grab his disc launcher and unload everything at him. That should be enough and you should have an easy kill in about 50 seconds or a minute. However you may miss some shots with the disc launcher, and this is where the hunter bow comes in handy. Thanks to the handling you put on the bow you can easily shoot like a machine gun and since he is frozen it will do a crap ton of damage. I prefer to use the triple shot skill with this and get it prepared before starting a battle with the thunderjaw but it doesn't matter either way. Happy hunting guys
This time consuming and wasteful. Easiest? Maybe. Fastest is hands down the following: Tearblast disc launcher > tie down > use disc launcher to expose core and f-up its leg (can't move fast) > Freeze > Easy heart shots.
Get long dodge skill to get angles on it faster. Should take you 20-30 seconds - maybe less with no wasted shots/good angle on core. When you can do this on Very Hard, you've got no issues.
Most difficult machine in the game is the Stormbird.
I wish they made a way for you to ride one of these into battle.It's nothing greater than playing this in 4k(checkerboard) on a big scene tv.I really hope the sequel improves the A.I and gives us better replayability.I would like a spinoff game that's similar to a prequel where you play from the stand point of the military when the machines first arrive and attack.
This is hilarious! Instant death of the toughest machine! XD (only possible on difficulty Normal or lower, as harder lowers the weapons damages)
Thanks for sharing! I get a lot out of videos like this
Ignore all the dudes going on about 'oh well this isn't efficient blah blah blah'. It's inventive. Nice vid bro.
using his own disk launcher only takes half a minute to kill
Don Strijb Yep. Can confirm. I don't even remember how many times I died or rolled away crying and button-smashing
+Don Strijb You're not hitting them in the right place then.
Try freezing it and start shooting the disc launcher at the red battery looking thing on their sides! or the nexus hub thing on their forehead!! You can take it out with a single disc launcher if you shoot the right spots, and its a lot easier if they're tied down and if they're frozen, they take a Lot more damage.
Then you are not doing it "correctly" =P
Tear off both disc cannons, Freeze thunderjaw and pump the discs into him. Best way to kill him in very hard in my opinion.
Quinn Broers this is faster and a nice big BOOM
Quinn Broers yea I tie down freeze him then load up 3 hardpoints shoot the disc launcher use it get the other disc launcher and takes 40sec basically to kill it
Not only is it far too time consuming to sit there and place 15 trip wires exactly on top of each other (when you can just freeze arrow -> concentration and hardpoint arrow the heart or top of head) but if you actually need the purple mods enough to 'farm' them just go a little to the west to the hunting ground there. Kill the ravagers and use the ravager cannons to kill the constantly respawning thunderjaw there. 1 full clip from a ravager cannon can kill a thunderjaw (or anything really, fucking things op)
After watching this video i instantly liked and subscribed you deserve more subs this is great content!
It is more fun to fight it and I will kill every time because I have the invincible armor but I still liked the video because this is an informational video for the people who need help with this
not everybody good at games !
Cool take on killing TJ's and one shotting it. So many fucking haters in the comments though lol
Yup, this confirms it.
I've left messages in your Rockbreaker and Stormbird videos, and now I'm sure. SOMETHING has been patched, these don't work anymore. Or, at least, not as efficiently. In this case, I have the Tripcaster at 462 damage and I only have 1 empty mark left. No way to hit 522 with 2 and a half left.
Also, apparently you can now drop more than 15 wires. But the enemy AI responds to it (kinda sorta), so.
An alternate way is to freeze the thunderjaw and use hardpoint arrows to it's heart. It does about 150 if not on the heart.
poor dino was like "OwO what's this" *gets instakilled*
one liek - one pray for dino
You need to override more Tallnecks.
yeah i was thinking that as well. my newphew saw me doing it and he repeated it on his char at level 15
This is August now, but I still find this guide super informative and awesome. Thank you so much for the video. :)
thank you so much too for your support :D
Seriously tho, don't underestimate the Rattler against the bigger, tougher machines. Damage modding it will freaking melt bigger machines, specially if you freeze them first. The Shadow Rattler is great for inflicting Freeze as well. So many ppl hate on the Rattler but it is pretty OP if you know how to properly use it.
way quicker and easier to tearblast both disc launchers off and use them to kill it.
Lord Drakhoul lol. warbow w ice arrows. two shots with 3 on the bow to freeze it. not even 6 sticky bombs to kill when frozen.
Those sticky bombs are dirty, right? Frozen thunderjaw gets melted by them
Not exactly instant when u have to spend 15 minutes placing the traps in the first place.
kinda felt sorry for the thunderjaw. what a dramatic fall. :'( hehe great work man! love the instant kill vids.
A moment of silence for that poor thing...
God I love this game, excited to replay it soon at 60fps when my PC gets here
That was awesome!
