Yeah, that hasn't been working so well for me. I was pretty disappointed earlier when I made a quest for a Crystal Braiding, finally after several attempts took down my first Thunderjaw, only for no Crystal Braiding to drop.

Smile, Citizen! Happiness is Mandatory.

You people are all crazy, the worst trial is the Nora one where you need to murder antelopes with logs. "Throw a bomb at a heard and hope the run under a trap!" is basically all there is to it. Except they don't. Ever.

Are you sure you went to both spawns? Anytime I couldn't get the thing to drop, I would eventually find that there was a second circle on my map for the quest.

Could just be bad luck, though, I guess. I thought I put one in a loot table for sure, just not always in the first place you look.

I just ended up alerting the watchers and luring them over to the log traps, which I'm pretty sure was not the creators' intention.

There's like 30 traps. They can't not run under a trap. It's by far the easiest challenge. You can literally just chase them and shoot the traps as they run by them.

Just ignore the watchers.

Maybe they changed it in a patch? All the times I've done it, you shoot an arrow at the logs and they fall. Like anywhere on them.

I tried using arrows but nope. Had to use the blast sling to make them budge.

Do you feel it, Zach?
My coffee warned me about it.


In my game they could be unresponsive when shot from the side or from the back so I always made sure to aim at them from the front.

It's weird, the only activation zone is the front flap of the log trap, anywhere else is insensitive to arrows. It is barely visible from the back. But it's a mechanic that is barely used, only a handful of log traps are found in the wild.

Oh, yeah I always shot at the front of log traps, since that's the angle I could see if there were machines in the killzone.

While I haven't checked for myself, I saw someone say they were added as DLC trophies so you keep your platinum.

AFAIK once you get a plat you keep it even if they add more trophies afterwards. Same thing happened with DA:I .

Now that NG+ exists I believe in my heart that this thread should get a title change so that people who have finished Horizon long ago can go back and replay it!

I actually caught myself on the lip of the rock outcropping down below and shockingly managed to make my way back off.

On the other hand, my girlfriend rolled Aloy off the cliff right after the conversation with Rost at the very beginning of the game. Like first thing she did was press dodge, right off the giant cliff.

I just lent it to a friend two days ago since I had my platinum trophy and thought it was safe to wait until the DLC :negative:

From what I've seen, you have to beat NG+ on hard or above to unlock face paints.

The only question is to play now or wait for the DLC.

I like that they added trophies for the 2 new things you'd obviously want to do. Is that end game armor still super broken and op?

I'm gonna wait and just do NG+ and play the DLC while doing that.

I suspect the DLC will have lots of funs weps + costumes you'd want to play the entire game with so I will do one NG+ run now and save another for when the Frozen Wilds hits.

I'm looking forward to going back into my hudless run.

I'm so excited about this update. I wasn't expecting anything until the dlc.
