    Edit: When I do the math at 7:50 for the triple notch damage penalty, I should have used 0.7 as the multiplier instead of 0.3. Hopefully that didn’t trip anyone up 🙂
    Edit 2: I misspoke about Long Range, Close Range, and High Ground coils. Those coils only increase impact damage, not elemental buildup or tear.

    A great trick I want to share that i've been using alot even early on in my 1st playthrough is slide silent striking.
    I found out that while you are sliding you don't seem to draw any more attention to yourself than if you crouch walk, this is great for both getting some distance before someone fully notices you or aggressively closing the distance for a stealth attack.
    Do note that since you technically need to sprint to activate a slide you may want to do this from a slight distance to avoid the sprint noise, especially if your not use to executing this technique.

    My head just exploded watching this video, and after a new one pops up from the stump I'm subscribing and binge-watching your entire library on it!
    I've finished the game four times already and I just keep playing it on loop, I never used a lot of the weapon types I didn't quite understood how to and honestly the amount of content I can see by starting using all the tricks you seem to have uncovered almost feels like a small DLC to me!

    Again, your information is incredible. I’m still very much a story mode type of player (I’m a 52 year old guy) and HZD and HFW are truly my first full blown rpgs that I’ve made any progress in without getting overwhelmed. I played Breath of the Wild and Fenyx Rising on Switch, but I hit a wall on BotW after a while and Fenyx was really tame. I’ve tried Witcher 3, but again I get overwhelmed, especially since I love the Netflix shows so much. With HZD, I truly felt like I was not only playing a game but also making use of skills and mechanics. HFW is so next level and being invested in the HZD story line, I love the continuation and deeper nuances. Your explanations are so nuanced that it truly wants me to become better player and even replay HZD at higher levels.
    Quick question: do you play the strike mini games? I found the tutorials complex. Maybe I just need to find a better explainer video.

      Awesome Michael! Glad you're enjoying these games. Gaming is ageless and that's one of the things I love about it. I know of at a least a couple people in their 70s who follow my channel and play Horizon! As for machine strike, I have indeed played it. My best tip is to buy the Fireclaw piece from the Raintrace Hunting Grounds carver and pair it with a few low level pieces to use as bait. Then bait the opponent wit the low level pieces and finish them off with the Fireclaw!

      Michael, join the club.. I'm a 76 yr old woman who never played a video game or even looked at a controller. Horizon ZD was my first ever so just figuring the buttons out was a challenge. I just finished HZD, twice now (for practice & harder in Game+) so now I can try Horizon FW.. but it looks extremely hard & challenging and only with Arktix videos loaded and waiting can I do it. He is so good with explaining and making it easier. I will use Story mode because I just like to enjoy the game easier to begin.

    Love this video for so many reasons.
    First is your teaching style: You are just a genius not only in finding all that stuff but even more in explaining it with few, we’ll structured words. Listening to your explanations makes me chill and want to know more at the same time :D
    Second are the insights: I love the sliding mechanic more than anything (already since zero dawn, but they made it soo much more powerful - love it). And I already was kind of confused that you didn’t mention the quick draw mechanic of sliding in earlier video. But now you did make a video about it and I have to realise that I am just like John Snow and know nothing. I had no clue whatsoever that sliding gives you invincibility frames as well and now you even tell me it’s more than for rolling. I am baffled. Same for the triple notch. They felt off compared to zero dawn and now I know why. You are great.
    Third is the community I know of no other content creator who is so eager to reply to his viewers in such a positive way and in return was able to build such a great community. Scrolling through the comments became one of my favourite hobbies and I really feel amidst kindred souls here.
    And forth is just the love for the game that you radiate in every of your videos. it mirrors my own attitude towards the game and I have been looking for someone like you all over the Internet. So glad I found you, please keep it up!

    Fantastic video yet again!
    Thanks for the deep dive into the mechanics of the game. I have started using the slide-draw technique with the ropecaster to get a quick tie-down. When I played this game on normal difficulty, my favorite weapon was the sharpshot bow. Now that I play on very hard, I use the shredder gauntlet or freeze/boltblaster combo based on what I learned from your other videos. I find myself using the shock shredders as my go-to because they can immobilize the machine and rip it apart with ease. It’s also very cheap resource-wise. Your circling technique helped me get much better at catching the shredders which maximizes my damage output. Your weapon coil video helped me find the best ones for each weapon type, again boosting my damage. By taking advantage of game mechanics and modifiers, you’ve helped me get the most out of every scenario. That is very important - especially on the higher difficulty setting. After fighting a monster with a shredder, the area looks like a scrapyard with all of the destroyed and ripped apart pieces strewn about. It’s pretty funny to see! I used to run low on volatile sludge all of the time because of my reliance on one weapon type. Now I rarely run low on anything and I sell off extra stuff for shards.
    Thanks again for your invaluable insights!

    Thank you so much for all the videos you make, I've learned so much from the strategies and tips you put out. That was very helpful to learn that weapons draw faster while sliding or falling from a significant height. What was very interesting to know was that knockdowns are triggered mostly from hitting machines on their legs, because logically, that's how you destabilize something in real life, so I like that Guerilla incorporated that in their combat mechanics.

    Excellent tips & tricks! After dealing as much elemental damage as I can with my various sharpshooter bows, the spike throwers are my secondary and favorite weapons of choice when battling the massive machines! A majority of the time, I operate as a stealth fighter, knocking off as many parts on machines from a safe distance before I get too close; however, after watching this video, I feel inspired to be a little more creative and/or experimental with the combat mechanics I employ! Thanks for sharing! All the best on future endeavors!

      I'm to feeble minded to raise the difficulty above hard. For me its enough of a trial to deal with some of the annoying enemies like dread wings. I'm also limited in how I can learn and refine my skill and general competence. I have virtually 0 tactical ingenuity or strategic thinking. "enemy doing this, I react like this" is my brain's limit 90% of the time. Rather funny since I really like using stealth as best I can. :/

    This is perfect. I am planning to start a CZcams gameplay channel and not take any damage whatsoever (meaning taking no hits) at hardest difficulty settings. I was questioning the Horizon series since it is almost impossible the way I played. So now I can practice all these and make it a lot easier to go through the games with no hits. Thank you so much for bringing these tips here.

    Awesome video as usual Artix. I hope you don't mind if I share a tip of my own:
    Due to the awesomeness of the quick draw mechanic while sliding, you don't need to coil your ropecaster with any draw speed coils. Simply coil it with 3 reload speed coils for maximum efficacy with regular rope-casts (which cost 1 volatile sludge per 6 casts) and penetrating rope (which only costs stamina.

    • @ArktixOfficial
      @ArktixOfficial  Před rokem +1

      Hey good point Emeka! Yeah I've transitioned to reload speed coils instead of draw speed since doing my "how to coil every weapon video". I've realized since then that the draw speed coils don't help while you have the Quick Draw.

I was sad that when I played HFW it only had very hard. Now I started a new run of FW on UH and must say the level of difficulty difference it is on HZD is immense. Going to be fun. Nice tips!

    A remark regarding QuickDraw: On PC 1.1.47 Quickdraw does not work on e.g. Sharpshot Bows, Spikethrowers, and Boltblasters. Aloy will abort the slide and go into duck/crouch position as soon as L2/LT/RMB is pressed.
