Hunter reflexes is the most OP skill and people don't talk about it enough. You could jump around indefinitely and take all the time in the world aiming and hitting crit points

Be careful with the dynamic HUD setting, don't set that before you learn the game. You know, if you hide something you never used and don't know what it is then you might miss it forever. E.g. I saw beginner players not using and crafting or buying any potions because they hid it right in the beginning, when they didn't even know about them.

One thing that I discovered a while ago is if you are low on metalshards or overall want more shards, be sure to complete all of the bandit camps. All of the camps have a kind of treasure room with multiple boxes with stuff you can sell plus a lot of shards. Bandit camps may seem like annoying but they are fairly easy if you are patient.

My protip is to take down every guy on the edges of the camp area all around and then go towards the middle one bandit at the time.

The variety of enemies is what kept me playing this. Every encounter felt different. It's also really fucking hard and frustrating, but fun. I'm at level 21 with 16 hours of gameplay and I still haven't finished anything major other than being a seeker.

I'd direct players straight towards the Tearblaster in the Hunters lodge questline. The other weapons you can get in the lodge are just slightly better versions of regular weapons that require a lot of effort to get but the tearblaster is available much sooner and is much more unique in function. It is so much fun to use as a close range stripping canon that can even stop charging machines dead.

When an machine is attacking, dodge no matter what, it seems to me that you can get invincibility frames, but it sometimes depend where you’re dodging towards

#1 tip in my opinion is always make sure you have enough ammo or crafting materials especially when entering a Cauldron. Nothing is worse than making it to the boss fight and having to switch to melee attacks partway through because you ran out of ammo.

Solid Tips, good video. I've found stealth to be the way I play against the machines best. Upgrading the critical hit of spear and setting tripcasters for the big ones is the only way I've been able to defeat anything difficult.

Handling = Fire rate.... damn.... nice info!

i'm a HZD newb... bought it a few years ago on steam sale... and played it for maybe an hour... now i'm finally getting into it :D

Great video and good level of detail for anyone who is just picking this game up now. It became free for PlayStation plus members so a lot of these tips are relevant the PS4 players too. I guess having completing all the main missions my tips would be these: Resource satchel upgrade, light all campfires as this will help in fast travelling to side quests and other missions later on or gaining the collectibles and the last thing I would say is don’t rush the game, enjoy the story line and explore the open world. I hope in Horizon Forbidden West they address the clunky climbing and melee combat mechanics. Apart from that this game is amazing with a good story line. I hope Forbidden West can continue to build upon this.

Spam jump when you put skill points in to slow down time when jumping. You can literally take on 3 stalkers it’s hilarious and borderline game breaking mechanic

[canadariot]

very nice, really informative and well edited NorZZa

[Reyajh]

Hey man, nice job! Finally getting around to playing this game... Appreciate the tips

[thevilnside]

Thank you for the detailed tips and well prepared video.

[SimonCHulse]

There are certain armours in the game that you can get that do provide health regen. I think they may be limited to the expansion DLC, though?

[selaznog]

Great job, this video was very helpful, thanks.

[skyesthelimit]

1 thing i do early game is set game difficulty to story mode then spam farming thunder jaw. Very useful if youre low on metal shards and/or need mods. Also sell the mods you pick up from them for extra profit.

Strategy:
1. Use Tearblast arrow on their guns.
2. Use Thunderjaw gun against them.
3. Teleport pretty far away. (So they respawn)
4. Teleport back.
5. Rinse and repeat.
6. Profit

You'll get a few thousand metal shards, a lot of resources by doing this for a few minutes. I did this for 30 mins and got around 20k metal shards. Never needed to farm metal shards ever again after that hahaha

[yashesh]

at 3:16 don't sell it after once bought you won't be able to fast travel for free except the normal pack that can crafted.

[farrellreyza]

Thanks, just tried the game today. Cant figure out how to switch to rocks to lure and to the health potion... whats the control for that? The game didnt tell me.
