      Same here. Used to love to play on hardest difficulty etc. when I was younger... but nowadays I just don't have the patience, and no motivation anymore, to put the required time in to "git gud". When I buy a game at full price, I just want to see its ending (or at least one of them) once. And after that, most of the time, I'd rather go to something else in my near infinite back-catalog.

    Admittedly I was playing on Normal, but I did all the Hunting Grounds as I found them on my first playthrough and didn't have too much of a problem. I don't know if it's just me, but I actually found the FW Hunting Grounds significantly easier than the ZD ones. Maybe it's just because I was much more experienced on my first playthrough of FW versus my first playthrough of ZD, but a lot of the Hunting Ground trials in ZD took me multiple tries to get the top rank on, whereas in FW I beat most of them with the top rank on my first try.

    • @kacey4266

    • @ArktixOfficial
      @ArktixOfficial  Před 2 měsíci +6

      I mostly play on ultra hard, which is where the hunting grounds are very difficult and not worth your time. As I mentioned in the video, they do not give XP or skill points, so it's not really worth doing them early on UH. On lower difficulties, sure, they're much easier and I would agree many of them are easier than ZD hunting grounds.

    Cool tips as always! :)
    Let me add some in-game cheats:
    1. Crafting can be accelerated by setting the Wheel Time delay (or what, sorry, re-translation) to the maximum.
    2. To improve gears, we sometimes have to farm resources from big Apex machines. If you struggle with it (especially in early-game), you can change the difficulty to Story Mode, do the fights, then change it back to your difficulty level.
    3. … unless you started in Story Mode. It makes sense, too, because you can get the story as a whole, then taking the rest of the contents after-story.
    4. BUT don't forget to activate the side quests as you see the green ! marks. There's a soldier in a cell in Barren Light waiting for his execution and if you don't activate it then he'll die because you didn't save him. Half the sidequest's content gets lost for you.

      His video will obviously be great, but if you want a quick tip: Find a long expanse of beach, and run up and down it whacking crustaceans with the spear (wearing a stealth outfit helps, but isn't absolutely necessary). If the beach is long enough, they'll respawn by the time you finish going one way. Collect and sell the remains. (In early versions when the game first came out, animal parts didn't sell for much, but one of the updates over the years vastly increased how much they sell for.)
      You can also use arrows for that, the cheapest ones you have, but whacking them with the spear is satisfying *and* doesn't use any resources other than your time.

    Hey Arktix,
    I know it's unrelated but I got an interesting suggestions that you could communicate to the developers for the third Horizon game:
    Make the main story a lot longer as the current amount of main quests is so short that some players like myself can't get enough of this masterpiece of a game. Also, while the side content in HFW was good, I'd just wish they make them less repetitive and more engaging.
    -Introduce underwater combat with special weapons and unique mechanics. I think that if they improved upon Zero Dawn by allowing us to dive, they could improve once again by allowing us to fight machines and humans underwater. They could introduce ranged, melee and stealth weapons and combat mechanics to the underwater combat. This would be epic but also, not being able to fight underwater in HFW is kinda frustrating when you're trying to explore certain parts of the map so that's a bonus

  • @skins4thewin

    One quick tip for having ALL side quests automatically marked on your Map is to simply save after talking to one of the rumor giving ppl, then reload the save. They will immediately give you a new quest!

    I did Ultra Hard for my first playthrough and I managed to beat it and the DLC, but I definitely wouldn't recommend it. It's pretty doable for the most part, but farming for gear progression gets incredibly tedious late game because you have to farm Apex machine hearts and other stuff from very difficult machines and you have to do it with Purple gear because your Legendary gear isn't upgraded yet. Every fight to get one rare crafting part will be a struggle where you have to use all of your resources just to take down one machine to get one component that you need and sonce Apex machines don't spawn every tome, you migjt jave to save and reload a bunch of times if you die to get another one to spawn. Thankfully, it's actually possible to beat the entore sypry on Ultra Hard with mostly purple rarity gear which is easoer to upgrade and you can do a NG+ on a lower difficulty to farm all the components you need for legendary gear before doing ANOTHER NG+ to go back and stomp all the Ultra Hard machines that were a struggle before.

    The game is beautiful but very frustrating at times. Being stun locked when hit is the worst. Sometimes you can't progress until the game lets you. Its bow action is what keeps me playing, and the robot animals are amazing and fun to fight and ride.

    First HG emphasizes environmental traps and strategies for using them. These are ZD elements, so the HG is sort of a refresher. Second HG emphasizes pullcaster+shieldwing technique and smoke bomb use. These are newish elements, and I argue, some of the new game elements don’t cement until forced to try them, so this HG is important if you’re underutilizing launch and smoke bombs.

    I never played Zero Dawn or Forbidden West (still on my first playthrough with that one) on anything else but Ultra Hard; really love how tense and challenging combat is one Ultra Hard. During my first playthrough of Zero Dawn, I used the stealth outfit with nothing but extra stealth weaves, so I had no defense whatsoever, yet I somehow made it through both the base game and the Frozen Wilds expansion. On my second playthrough, I used a more defensive outfit and played more aggressively.
    The extra difficulty in FW is definitely noticeable. Even a pack of low level Scroungers, Burrowers or Scrappers can be very tough on Ultra Hard. Love it though.
    I recently played FW at a friend's on Easy mode and fought a Thunderjaw. I was shocked at how easy that was... The machine barely attacked me and I killed it in under a minute. Not looking down on Easy mode btw, anyone should play however they want:)

    I agree with you on Ultra Hard. I chose Very Hard and I don't regret it one bit, it feels similar to my ultra hard from scratch HZD playthrough beside for the ungodly amount of grind. The farming required to upgrade stuff, especially legendary stuff (plus the components you need to save for NG+ weapons) is too insane even for very hard imo. There's no way I'm doing it in UH, especially with circulators, that aren't guaranteed to drop. I killed 8 Rockbreakers before I got my first Rockbreaker circulator and that's just one example. Do you know what the odds of not dropping a circulator for 7 rockbreakers are? 1 in 4500 for fuck's sake. Imagine if I got that luck in Ultra Hard, I'd be pulling my own hair. Nah, farming is an automatic difficulty drop to story mode because I'm not playing a freaking MMO here. I'm here to have fun, and killing 15 rockbreakers in a row to upgrade a legendary weapon once is not my idea of a good time.
    If not for the farming issue, I'd totally play a "from scratch Ultra Hard playthrough" and I might still do it one day (with a very specific build in mind, and upgrading only what I need most so that I don't have to spend days farming) but only when I'll know the game enough to make a plan that doesn't require 50 hours of grind. First playthrough though? Very Hard for the game, Story Mode for the farm.

    minor spoilers ahead. i did do ultra hard on my first playtrough. i had like 370 hours on ZD so thaught i was ready... well i was, kinda but it was the true dark souls run. basically beiing one hit on anything for half the playtrough. i am the person to do a lot of sidequests and i did do a lot before the big mission series after getting the base. i was basically leveling harder than the reccomended levels wich helped me, well not die one hit. it is important to study the movements and attack patterns so you can allways be able to dodge them. then you can find gaps to actually damage the machines without getting hit. scanning and knowing wich machines have wich weak points and canisters helps. good things are frost and spark canisters to wombo combo neirly any machine to the shadow realm. something very important tho is to read. i had gotten a shit ton of skill points from the side quests but didnt know what to do with them. if i had read the skill tree, id have known that there are better things than just dumping on stealth and stocking points. things like more berries and new melee combos for the pits. allso, do the contracts when you can. they wherent that hard, just time consuming. they give good loot and if you do all of them a decent armour set wich can carry trough the game. armour is not THAT important, i just basically rocked the basic nora outfit wich gave stealth (the one aloy get at the very start of ZD)
