So yesterday did the mission to help the three Banuk that were running away and for Beregund to kill some animals and they chose there new Werak name of Shattered Hearts . Then did the kill the Claws Beneath for Umnak which was a challenge till I just used the big ice mound in the middle to run around and around taking shots at it from behind. Then one for Varga to upgrade the Ice rail by killing a Thunderjaw, after having recently fought the Daemonic version this was a walk in the park. Then on to challenging Aterak and completing the trials. I normally find the timed stuff a bit stressful but I actually had fun and well under the times. The beasts at the end were a bit of a challenge but the tunnels made it easier being able to pretty much run through and get some hits on one and then running through and getting hit on another etc. Next to the Stone Drum. Pic's Aratak reminds me of Mr. T and I keep expecting him to say "I pity the Fool" Ready to run Aratak eats some humble pie Umnak and the Claws Beneath The Lovely Varga

So pretty much finished the DLC yesterday just have to kill some Frost Claws I think as a side mission. Really enjoyed the DLC but my god the last creature you fight was a damn tough fight, I almost just gave up and was going to refuse to finish the fight. I am not sure why but it seemed to be immune to Tearblast arrows so wasted some health and time early on shooting those. Then it seemed to take a lot of Precision Arrows to fully damage the weak points but I was also probably missing 1 of every two shots because the damn thing would leap across the whole area and then hit me through rocks I was hiding behind. It even hit me through a piece of fairly solid steal. Anyway I changed to the Storm Slinger/Ice rail (I get them confused) and it seemed initially to not do too much to the creature and so changed back to Tearblast arrows again and had some luck and then the Storm Slinger/Ice Rail started doing some decent damage. Came close to death but finally had it down to almost nothing, like 1% and the damn thing just would not die. Shot it a couple of times thinking I'd done and stopped only for it to keep damn attacking me with what looked like zero health. So with almost no health of my own the damn thing dropped. I'd like to play the DLC again not right away but again after MAYBE playing the whole game again on Story so I can just sit back and enjoy the ride but that last DLC fight!!!!!! Not sure. Pic's The start of the never ending story, man this vault went on for ages. Pretty God damn Hellbeast Escape time The Spirit

I've to say I can't remember a lot of the HZD music except for the main theme (Aloy's theme) and the three men band at the hunting lodge because at one point I heard the deep boom of the timpani. I looked and saw a shallow kind of snare drum. Eh? ???? That didn't seem to fit. I didn't sit down to listen to the tribal singing at the village party before the Proving. The most memorable is Aloy's theme. That's about it. She's doing another version and she's not the original singer; Julie Elven. She's adding on to it. Julie Elven, rehearsal I had thought it was Merethe Soltvedt or one of the vocalists from Two Steps From Hell at first because there's some similarity but their vocals is stronger.

That reminds me I have always had audio problems in the game. Music changes volume regularly and just drops out completely sometimes. I do enjoy the music though, especially Laualai's drumming. 😁

Oh, your side mission is not to kill a bunch of frost claws, it's to kill a bunch of fire claws (basically the same as that final boss). But don't worry, it's far easier to do it outside as you have a lot more space to move around and evade the attacks. Tipp: Always keep a large rock or a cliff side or a hill or something like that between you and the Fireclaw. This way, you'll mostly trigger it's ranged attacks which I found easier to dodge and very often they will actually hit the object you are hiding behind, so you can keep on shooting at the thing while it's attacking you. Make it so the rock or whatever you use almost complete occludes the creature and just hit it into whatever spot sticks out.
And yea, the final DLC fight in that arena was by far the hardest in the game. In fact, until that fight (when I was playing on normal) I wasn't too worried about upping the difficulty level but with that thing I also figured I'd not stand a chance in hell on ultra hard. Mainly because I never found a good way to evade damage completely and by the time I defeated it, I was also down to about half a health bar with no medicine pouch left. Really tough SOB. Good thing you don't need to do the DLC to complete and ultra hard playthrough. I found everything in the main storyline of the main game on ultra hard way easier than this fight on normal.

So fought the first of the fire claws yesterday and whilst it was easier I still ran around like a mad man and tried wherever possible to get behind cover and wait for my Ice Cannon to charge it's shot. It is the most effective weapon but it takes so long to charge, wondering if I should try just Frost/Ice arrows from the war bow or whatever it is. Has anyone ( AnDromedary Hrungr @ Obsidian Gryphon Element Zero) tried the Rope Caster on them or any other ways to fight them? I had Fire/Melee armour on both almost maxed and that saved me from a fair bit of damage thankfully.

If it lunges for you - dive between it's legs (not to the side or away), quickly turn around and dive through them again if necessary until it flounders a bit. Then you can strike. I've used ropecaster, but be prepared as it'll shred those lines quickly. Freeze it, then go for the shoulders. I think I used the rattler on them while frozen. Electric arrows on the coils on its back will also stun it for a while.

Electric arrows on the coils on its back will also stun it for a while. Yeah I figured the dive through it's legs thing out. I could never stun it and I was pounding it with Ice Shots and it took three or more hits to the chest top get that too break/explode even with the Ice cannon which was doing over 300 damage per shot. I tried precision arrows for a bit but the damn thing was just all over me all the time. I'll try hard points next time as that bow shoots faster. Eh won't worry re the rope caster then, might try the Storm Slinger on the next one and see how that goes as it fires more rapidly.

Lot's of damage with damage upgrades to the hunter bow and they don't drag your resources down too much. Takes a while but I found that to be the best weapon, actually for most enemies in the end but especially fire claws. I find the DLC weapons mostly useless. They are super slow (well, the ice ray is) or only deal very specific elemental damage (rather have the war bow or sling, so I have more than one element if I really wanna go that that) and the ammo is just too expensive. A well modded hunting bow will give you way more bang for your buck and hardpoints are pretty good for almost everything.

Yup, also went with fire and melee mods on blaze (or whatever the DLC version of it is called) against fire claws. I barely ever used the shield weaver. The only time that’s really useful imo is during the final mission when you hold the ridge with the cannons, because there you can’t really evade damage, you can get hit by different elements and there are enough pauses between getting hit to allow the shield to regenerate. So that’s one situation where the weaver shines. Otherwise, I mostly find it better to dress for the damage type I am expecting (or stealth if I just want to explore/traverse an area without itching for a fight of course).

I play hide and seek with fireclaws. Fight takes longer but I prefer to watch them going ????!! then being a dodgeball. The shoulder and chest tanks are the priority. I use hardpoint if they're close, precision if they're far away.

So just did another Fire Claw and god damn of course it had to be in a Fire Scorcher and Trampler zone. Anyway took a wide route around the Fire claw and took out the Tramplers and Fire Scorcher and then focused on The Fire Claw. Fire Scorcher dropped a mine thrower so started it off with that but they were doing minimal damage to the Fire Claw. So then I used Precision arrows with the sharpshooter bow as I still had some distance, then focused on shooting Freeze arrows at it for a bit and it did cause it to stop for a bit, so went back to Precision arrows then hit it with Hardpoint arrows. Got it down quite low then hit it with the Storm Slinger and that worked a treat but why does it drain your health if you fire it for long periods. I used The Weave armour and it was quite good, only had to heal once. Then did the double team with Aratak for the two for one Fire Claw quest. Man it was a disaster to start with damn Aratak kept getting in the way and I had multiple getting stuck on a tree moments. Anyway the weave actually held up really well and but I had to heal several times due to damn Aratak blocking me or me getting stuck on trees. Ice arrows really didn't seem to work this time, not sure why, ran away a lot to get behind rocks or trees to deflect the attacks and when I could used Precision arrows and quickly got the chest piece off one Fire Claw but the other one was real trouble and I used up a whole lot of hard point arrows to get the chest piece off and took a fair bit of damage as the weave wasn't getting enough time to recharge but I still think it did a better job than my fire/melee armour. Anyway eventually wore the last one down no thanks to Aratak just standing around doing nothing. One to go.

Anyway eventually wore the last one down no thanks to Aratak just standing around doing nothing. One to go. When I fought the two fireclaws with Aratak, I just overwrote one and let the two fight each other. Turns out the joke was on me though because - since one of the fire claws killed the other and it didn't count as a kill for me - I didn't get the achievement for killing 6 fire claws. Fortunately, after you finish the main quest there is a fireclaw hunting area in the spot where you find the demonic rockbreaker that you have to kill for that retired banuk hunter dude in a side quest (north-east corner of the map), so I could still get it.

So just did another Fire Claw and god damn of course it had to be in a Fire Scorcher and Trampler zone. Anyway took a wide route around the Fire claw and took out the Tramplers and Fire Scorcher and then focused on The Fire Claw. Fire Scorcher dropped a mine thrower so started it off with that but they were doing minimal damage to the Fire Claw. So then I used Precision arrows with the sharpshooter bow as I still had some distance, then focused on shooting Freeze arrows at it for a bit and it did cause it to stop for a bit, so went back to Precision arrows then hit it with Hardpoint arrows. Got it down quite low then hit it with the Storm Slinger and that worked a treat but why does it drain your health if you fire it for long periods. I used The Weave armour and it was quite good, only had to heal once. Then did the double team with Aratak for the two for one Fire Claw quest. Man it was a disaster to start with damn Aratak kept getting in the way and I had multiple getting stuck on a tree moments. Anyway the weave actually held up really well and but I had to heal several times due to damn Aratak blocking me or me getting stuck on trees. Ice arrows really didn't seem to work this time, not sure why, ran away a lot to get behind rocks or trees to deflect the attacks and when I could used Precision arrows and quickly got the chest piece off one Fire Claw but the other one was real trouble and I used up a whole lot of hard point arrows to get the chest piece off and took a fair bit of damage as the weave wasn't getting enough time to recharge but I still think it did a better job than my fire/melee armour. Anyway eventually wore the last one down no thanks to Aratak just standing around doing nothing. One to go. When I fought the two fireclaws with Aratak, I just overwrote one and let the two fight each other. Turns out the joke was on me though because - since one of the fire claws killed the other and it didn't count as a kill for me - I didn't get the achievement for killing 6 fire claws. Fortunately, after you finish the main quest there is a fireclaw hunting area in the spot where you find the demonic rockbreaker that you have to kill for that retired banuk hunter dude in a side quest (north-east corner of the map), so I could still get it.
I actually tried that but the corruption seemed to last for about 5 seconds at the most????? I used it in a previous fight with one when a Fire Scorcher decided to join the party, again it didn't last long so I shot the Scorcher with it and it lasted a longer time but the Fire Claw made short work of it and didn't suffer very much damage. EDIT: Wait you actually Overwrote one as in jabbing your spear in it and holding "E" man never thought of that and didn't think it would be possible?

And those screenshots are heavily massaged I'm sure... Thought it may have been because of the bridge towers on the left and yeah I figured the photo's had been enhanced but wondered if they were actually photos of what will appear in game if not actually in game itself.

So killed the last Fire Claw, yay me!!!!!!! I got a bit over confident and paid the price but eventually got serious and killed it. Then went back and talked to a few NPC's they didn't have much to say but couldn't find Aratak anywhere. Spoke to Cyan and she spoke a little bit about her Banuk interactions and then headed back to Meridian to do the last battle. Pic's Aratak talking about Cyan after fighting the two Fire Claws Last damn Fire Claw, praise be to the lord!!!!! Speaking to Cyan again Really wanted to get a good picture of the painting but the damn camera controls wherever I went would work.

EDIT: Wait you actually Overwrote one as in jabbing your spear in it and holding "E" man never thought of that and didn't think it would be possible? Yep, you gain the ability to overwrite fireclaws, frostclaws and scorchers as you complete the DLC main quest.

The speaker talking about the animals is I think my favourite part of the game. He's like a game show host or something and the enthusiasm he says "Brought to You By Montana Rescreations" is hysterical SO I am easily amused.

So finished the DLC yesterday and overall really enjoyed it BUT didn't enjoy the 4 crashes in the last battle, all at the part where the wall collapses on Aloy. And the auto save doesn't kick in when you get the cut scene so had to do the fight for that 4 times. Enjoyed some extra people at the fight, Nil cause I didn't duel him this time and there was a funny conversation between two guards standing near him.
Enjoyed seeing Petra and Vanasha and their conversations, I think you can hit both of them up for at least one more comment after the first one. And also it was cool seeing Elaida, I think I just missed her first time around and it was good to see Aratak but didn't remember the hunter he has with him from the DLC. I was actually hoping Ikrie may have been there. Looking forward to the next game, hope they are doing PC and PS5 development at the same time. Pic's Some of the people at the end battle What quest is this hunter from???? Always a pleasurable moment but again in this battle had lots of instances of arrows ans bullets from a death bringer going straight through enemies Oh shut up Hades and more stabbing with the spear Always makes me cry
