exquisite tea posted:Ultra Hard is legitimately challenging on a naked run because almost everything can OHK you and all weapons and armor are way more expensive, so you have to be a lot more attentive to resources. Ultra on NG+ is piss easy because you already have access to all the most OP armor and weapons in the game. Does NG+ let you keep the Lodge weapons? Or just Shadow level weapons? I beat the game on normal (because I suck at videogames) and am curious about the jump to Ultra.

exquisite tea posted:You get to keep all your lodge weapons, there's just a new tier of them when you complete all the Hunter trials. Sadly you do not get even more OP power armor. You lose all tiers of the Carja Shadow Heavy armor for plot reasons. Hahahaha, I'm not delusional enough to think I'm getting Lodge weapons on Ultra. It was all I could do to get the shell-walker crates the first time.

mastershakeman posted:I'm stuck on that right now and it's total BS. a YouTube video shows 6 crates on the ground instead of two and I'm wondering if it was changed in a patch Its like you're me from a week ago. They changed it in the past patch so now its 2 crates on the ground, spaced apart. I ended up stunning/slowing the two on the right from stealth, pop off the crate of one, loot both crates, then run like a lunatic to the other pair. It took a good 10+ tries with the shield armor. Its not really a stealthy trial anymore.

Finally doing my NG+ on Ultra Hard. So far I'm enjoying the challenge - herds clustering up rather than spreading out makes them actually a little intimidating. In the changes for robot behavior, did they change how the whistle works? There have been a few cases where I am in grass, in stealth gear, whistle and it goes straight to red instead of just alert, and I have a bad time.

Phobophilia posted:One of the things I like is that as you grow into the game, new tactics supplant old tactics and this carries over into new playthroughs. Hey I was just excited to use the whistle again.  Just got to the first corruptor fight, which scared the poo poo out of me the first time around. It felt so good to just dance around cracking striders with my lance one by one, then tossing a single sticky bomb on the corruptor and watch it go down. without ever getting hit. So far the NG+ has been just as fun as the first time and yet feels really different. I love this game so much.

8-Bit Scholar posted:What I like is that his motivations are really clear, though. He's clearly feeling guilty about the role he played in all of this, and he's also a narcissist, and he feels that it MUST be HIS responsibility to "make it right". He does this in the worst possible way, of course, but that's how good villains are. I don't think he's that noble. A big chunk of his motivation was conveniently destroying records that detail how the end of the world was 100% his fault. He wouldn't want that legacy. Speaking of Apollo, there was a second, beta version of it on the Far Zenith ship. We're told it was destroyed, but that's just it - we were only told about it. I wouldn't be shocked if that 'backup' became relevant in a sequel.

Ciaphas posted:I asked because I recall a datapoint where Faro asked his engineers to include a back door of some sort, presumably to assert control, but it never went into why. But I do have a few missed data points. I think he asks if there IS a back door, to which the engineer replies no, dumbass, you ordered us not to and it's impossible to add one now.

snoremac posted:You seem to level up like crazy if you do a lot of sidequests and exploration. I’m already at the Frozen Wilds recommendation (level 30) while the main quests currently recommend 15/18. I’m playing on hard, so it’s still quite challenging, but I hope I’m not an unstoppable force once I hit FW. No, you'll still be able to get your poo poo kicked in.

There's a poo poo ton of audio data points in Grave-Hoard that are easy to miss, a few audio data points that are missable in the Maker's End Tower, and a few easily missable ones in the tents of the camp when you are sneaking in to take out the tallneck. Those last ones will relocate to the bottom of the waterfall in the southern corner of the region if you missed them.

Viridiant posted:I'm having issues with Bluegleam. There's a cluster of four directly to the east of Deep Din that's found after climbing up a cliffside. But there's a fifth one appearing on the map in that same area that I can't find at all. I tried doing a google search and they mention the four other pieces of bluegleam but none of the lists talk about a fifth being there. Is this a bug and there's not actually a piece of bluegleam there? I've searched all over for a cave or something. Try scanning with your focus - Bluegleam shows up like loot with the vertical squiggle.

exquisite tea posted:Sleight of crate is easy, fam. Do exactly the following and you will succeed nearly every time: Triple knock some tearblast arrows, chug a lighting potion, then slide down the middle rope. Immediately sprint to the back, ignore all enemies, and pick up the crates. If you get staggered out of the animation, try again right away. You should get 2-3 crates here without even having to worry about the shellwalkers. Okay, now sprint to the right. There should be two remaining crates on the ground, or just one if the shellwalkers here have already picked them up. Grab the crate on the ground, dodge BEHIND the shellwalker, and hit the back latch with tearblast arrows to release the crate. I get a Blazing Sun on the first try almost every time using this method. If it looks like you're not going to make it, just reload from last save and that will put you back up at the top of the rope. EZ loot. I think a patch made it so there's no longer big piles of crates like that.

I kind of want to play this game again, and I'd like to not just stomp over everything from the beginning, but I'm not sure if I should go that route or just start a new game from scratch. Everything except the hunting grounds is fabulous in UHNG+.

blackguy32 posted:So I just bought this. What are the tips that I should follow? I have heard that I should beeline for Meridian, but what else? Fast travel uses resources unless you have the golden fast travel pack. The gold pack is one of the biggest QoL items to snag early on. You can buy one in Meridian. To buy the pack, you will need metal shards, fatty meat, and a single fox skin. The first two are easy to get from killing machines and various small critters. Fox skins are rare drops. So you need to execute every. fox. you. see. until you get one and hang onto that skin. You'll thank me later.

ashpanash posted:Honestly, I would say complete the main game, then do the DLC. For one, the DLC is harder than the main game. Also, the DLC doesn't add anything to the main story. It does add a lot of background "color" to the backstory and general themes. But I think it's all even more interesting once the main game is done. Seconded. Once you've beaten the game it will have you resume right before the final maingame quest, and that's the perfect point to take your gear to the DLC.

exquisite tea posted:There's a GDC panel on Horizon Zero Dawn where the presenter talks about how the scope of the game changed drastically as the big robot dinosaur combat finally became playable. Basically everything you fight that's larger than a Scrapper came together late in development, so the only enemies to playtest against for years were the little machines and humans. The tutorial heavily emphasizes stealth because that's all the design team really had to work with, but once the big machines were implemented stealth became less and less pronounced. He puts it like "you spend the first 10 minutes picking up rocks and then never agin for the next 50 hours." That's crazy, because human combat is the simplest, easiest, and most boring. You'd think with years of testing they'd have made them at least as interesting as the machines.

DOCTOR ZIMBARDO posted:Thunderjaws, Tallnecks, and Watchers are the three most iconic ‘bots in ZD (appear in marketing etc.) so I think we should expect to see them back in FW, especially if they’re bringing along Snapmaws (one of the less visually impressive machines). I hope there’s a Meg or a Mosasaur or something really big and scary in the water though A whale-bot?? They also imply that the Tremortusk isn’t the biggest new machine, which is also quite exciting. I'd love a dunkleosteus-bot but that might be to similar to the snapping turtle robot.

Oh and good luck fighting the twenty or so giant top-level machines for the parts to level it up so it helps you fight giant top-level machines." I ended up turning it to story mode difficulty with easy looting turned on, put on a podcast, and just started farming. Upgrades also chew through your shards at a rapid pace, its frustrating.
