People that are playing first time, progress the story until you unlock the glider feature. The exploration is much better with glider.

A great tip for pouch upgrades is the Herbalist. They sell all of the individual animal parts you need. It’s a huge time saver.

IIRC after you have the Base, you can ALWAYS fasttravel for free to the Base, and then use the campfire there to fasttravel to the campfire you want to go to.

As a completionist, I complete everything in a game, as long as it's a game that I am enjoying. I also collect and hoard everything in sight. So, basically I am way more overpowered and overleveled when I reach certain missions, which is how I like it. Horizon: Zero Dawn was amazing, while Horizon: Forbidden West is even better, making it super amazing. Both games received a 10/10 score from me, while my scores are the only ones that matter to me, in my world. Great video, by the way!

HFW is probably the most gorgeous looking game on next Gen console

The Job function highlights Greenshine and Brimshine - set a job for the purchase or upgrade, and it will show you the nearest resource location (which sometimes might not be very accessible, if you are early in the game).

Great tips. This game is so unbelievably good I hope the PC port is good. Your channel has been my absolute go-to for HFW info/tips/combat strategies. Thanks for all your hard work.

When hunting for machine components that need to be torn off, I found that applying Shock would make the darn machine stop moving around so I could actually hit the component I need.

[Krullenbol]

If you’re playing Ultra Hard you should use melee charged attacks to knockdown machines. It helps so so much.

For some reason I watched this entire video even though I've already 100%ed this game on PS5 lol. Great video!

[Parkpeter]

This is the video I’ve been looking for awhile now!!, and now it came out and from one of the best Horizon creators out there, much love Arktix ❤

Damm man you're on fire in these days, much content in a short time, i guess preparing the new players for horizon 2 on pc.

[norma]

Even after close to 200 hours in this game, I still need help, especially in combat I still get overwhelmed, I'm obviously doing something wrong so your videos are really helpful

[imia]

This video is definitely a must see for new players! I struggled so much in my first playthrough and I was even playing on story mode. This info would have made it so much easier.

[DrHyperfocus]

I would also mention that fast travel is free to the base station.

[cade_olson]

Ive played dozens of hours of this game since december and have seen probably all of your HFW vids, and i still ended up learning a shit ton of quality of life stuff or previously unknown game mechanics. Literally said out loud at least once or twice haha good shit as always man

[Newuxtreme]

What an absolutely amazing video you've made. Brilliant quality and incredibly helpful. I'm binging all of your videos on this game now.

[ettepet]

Thanks Arktix, for all the hard work towards the franchise! ❤

It is a beautiful game but definitely needs some pointers to set people on the right track, just like the first one did. Both games are gorgeous and very rewarding when delving into the lore. For the best experience: start with the first game, or watch the 6 hours movie version of it before starting up Horizon Forbidden West.

[MikeBertelsenDK]

Just got it for PC. Thank you SO much for these tips my man.
