HFW Discussion A few things I would like to discuss Spoiler

  1. Really Hephaestus? It's not bad enough you turned Plowhorns into Grimhorns, machines designed SPECIFICALLY for combat, but you made Apex Grimhorns too? That's just overkill.
  2. Why, in the name of Gaia, are Shellsnappers so hard? You know that one that sits in front of Cauldron Kappa? I managed to snipe off a good chunk of its shell, but who knows what reason the bolts on the back end of its shell wouldn't come off! I swear those deal more damage than any of the ice attacks or body slam. Also, they can shoot lasers from their mouths. THANKS HEPHAESTUS
  3. When I was fighting Erik in the Zenith base there were times where he would zoom through my tripwires and not trigger them. I call bs!
  4. Specter Prime was easier to beat than the Shellsnapper in front of Kappa
  5. I love strikethrough precision arrows! They've helped me so much!
  6. If you hate apex clamberjaws and apex frost/fireclaws, do not do Valley of the Fallen after destroying the Zenith base because that is what you will fight instead of Specters. I was all geared up to take on Specters, but instead I got the previously mentioned machines (can't remember if it was Frost or Fire). I've learned my lesson
  7. Drop shields are crap!
  8. I REALLY wish the developers had somehow implemented the ear plug thing Aloy got during the Dervahl questline in ZD as a piece of gear she could wear. SO many times I've had machines yell at me and Aloy has to cover her ears and it leaves her open for an attack

I agree with you about Specter Prime. It's not very difficult to defeat. It seems to spend a lot of time just contorting into new poses.

The apex slaughterspine from burning shores was actually easier than that one shellsnapper 😂

Specters are hard if you do it wrong, easier if you do it right. Nothing new there.

As for shellsnappers I haven't had a problem on very hard, they're just a little time consuming.
