1. Loot everything 2. Upgrade low level gear in beginning 3. Complete story missions to gain new abilities and tools (possibly up to gaining DEMETER) 4. Use Focus to mark parts and destroy machines (Ex: chain reaction for damage and break off key upgrade resources before killing machine) 5. Remember to upgrade Survivor and Medicine capabilities (collect more resources) 6. Check Supply Chest in Base often for resources 7. Grind Hunting Grounds for resources and gameplay tactics 8. Unlock Arena for resources and prizes from both Arena and Hunting Grounds Update for Item 4: my personal trick is to change difficulty when hunting machines to get more parts in less time

Refilling your berries by holding up doesnt pull them from your stash. You have a pouch, a bag, and a stash. Your pouch holds around 10 to start, the bag holds around 15, and the stash is unlimited. If you hold up, it pulls berries from your bag but once it’s empty, you have to go to your stash or pick up new ones.

Yeah I think this is my only slight annoyance with the game, only because when you actually need all those extra berries you can't access them, I don't really see the point of having hundreds of berries that you can't access unless you're at a fire. It really takes no time to refill your berries as you're wondering around because they're everywhere, so when I do go to refill from my stash most of the time my berries are already at maximum level so I have hundreds of berries in my stash just sitting there being pretty useless.

Extra healing herbs do NOT come out of your stash, they come out of your bags of which you can only hold a specific amount which is upgradable: if you want to refill you have to go to your stash Setup hunts for upgrades marked on the map Equip the fully upgraded healing potion in the survivor tree as your valor sink, it makes you un-killable Don't try to completely clear the map at the start, there are too many inaccessible areas due to missing tools Side quests give skill points Board game gives skill points Don't upgrade early game weapons and armor past level 2

I would suggest doing the story until you pass getting all 3 GAIA sub functions before fully exploring the map. Having the ability to breathe under water, get rid of plants, and other obstacles really helps with the exploring. I finished getting all those equipment a week or two ago and I am still exploring. I have just been doing all the side missions, errands, hunting grounds, etc so I could just open up everything. Also, this procrastination has helped me level up by like ... 15 levels, get a ton of skill points, and so I am nearly done with my skill tree from all the quests and level ups. This is nice since I still am only 40% completed on the game apparently.

Focusing on side missions very often rewards you with special dialog in the main missions.
Honestly there is two sides to this. Yes focusing on the main quest does help out with exploring the world, but I tend to do side quests a bit first because I obtained a special weapon and the money from caches around the world has really helped me purchase better armor ahead of the harder quests. Not to mention you have to explore a little if you want to help boost your level up before taking on harder quests.

I noticed that doing quests in an order based on their level keeps things pretty balanced out both difficulty wise and the amount of story orogression and side quests... almost as if the quest levels were made for that now that i think of it😂
Another tip that i wish i knew before playing through the first time (recently started again with a harder difficulty) was that you can disable the pickup animations from settings. This makes picking berries etc. Instant and can be done even while riding without slowing down. This doesnt include chests and items with an "inventory" that u need to open tho

Another mistake to avoid is to keep using elemental ammo on machines after they're fully drenched. It doesn't make the elemental damage last longer, in fact it does quite the opposite, meaning you'll end up having to build it up again.
Loving this game, of course. I forgot how Horizon grabs you with its story, excellent fight mechanics and zero load screens which make the game incredibly immersive. Hours fly by playing this game.

You'll want to avoid upgrading any low end gear (green/blue, maybe purple) that uses greenstone though, because there is a finite amount in the game and it can sometimes be somewhat difficult to find, even when marking it as a job. There probably is enough to upgrade everything that uses it, but to avoid running all over the place looking for what you need unless you have to.
@domokunist

I would partially disagree with this point as some of the better high-end gear require specific machine parts, not greenstone. There is definitely a finite amount of greenstone (still a huge amount, but finite nonetheless), but machines can always respawn.

Yes but purple & gold tier weapons/items are indispensable until youre like 40% thru the game. Blue tier can still be strong if you set you kit up right & have a good plan (focus on chain reactions or whatever you like)
Turn on Easy Loot, you can use it for any difficulty if you pick the custom option. This way you don’t have to worry about breaking off key machine parts. Just don’t trigger an elemental explosion if you need parts because they will get destroyed. Also if you destroy machines designated as transport they carry containers that will be filled with other machine parts as well as valuable loot. Rollerbacks & Behemoths are good machines for farming for materials.

I agree. It's one of the few games where I actually feel like I care about the side quest characters. Genuine interest as to what their situation is. Loving this game so far!
Been delving into this for a few months. After opening the ability to ride on the bird, it became very, very fun. Instead of finishing the main quest, I have taken to flying to every icon on the map and opening it. Last time I found a game that was that pretty, was Elder Scrolls Morrowind way back in the early 2000's. This is a good game. Beautiful. Play the first game before doing this one. You won't be sad
As long as you're doing missions in order of level you shouldn't have to worry about inaccessibility too much (at least as mission progression goes). The only exception I've found so far is a ruin leveled at 15 with a metal flower. Once you're done all the side quests leveled the same or lower than a main quest, do the main quest.

I would actually NOT recommend rushing through the story quests too quickly because, 1, you'll probably get your ass kicked until you have more perks, better weapons and have learned how to fight, and 2, you'll miss out on a ton of stuff if you do. This game likes to throw you into a lot of head-on fights early on against big, fast machines (like the first Cauldron, the first Arena fight and the Poseidon mission), so you'll want to practice fighting as much as you can. My advice? Whenever you get to a new settlement, slow down. Look for all the green exclamation points (which are new side quests), and accept all of those. You don't have to do all of them at once, but doing those will take you to every interesting point in the map, and you'll also gain a ton of skill points, resources and fighting experience along the way. They're also pretty interesting little stories (mostly) Trust me, you don't want to get thrown in to the fight before you get Poseidon without decent weapons and fighting practice. That thing will flatten you repeatedly if you're unprepared!

This! I got to poseidon first because I did everything around plainsong and then everything around the desert area. Such a pleasant place to be and grabbing poseidon first was one of the best things I could have done. It's so fantastic when you finally finish that mission. Plus when you did everything in the desert are you already get some purple gear too while being around level 20/30. Dependand on how much missions you did
Good video and thanks. I am on my second play through now and I recognise most of your points. One useful point is that it's more efficient to level up on experience from killing machines and leave the side quests for after you have hit the level maximum of 50, when they will become the only remaining source of skill points. I have also concentrated on keeping my weapons upgraded, but I would add that the higher level upgrades for some of the better weapons needs some of the rarer greenshine slabs, and I get the impression that there aren't enough slabs to upgrade everything that needs that resource. The main quest should be followed without hesitation, but still prioritise upgrading your gear and things will go better. Those main quest rewards are essential in getting past some blocks. I would also say that with respect to skills, be especially careful to choose the skills that match your playing style, the main ones (for me) being melee, hunter, or trapper, others being supportive rather than being a main style. Similarly, choose weapons that support also support your play style; more accurately, don't waste time and effort on skills or weapons for a style that you don't use.
Great video as always!!! A little bit past 2:00 you showed me a really neat trick I never thought about (gliding above an enemy to do a drop from above attack.) I love it! Forbidden West definitely has TONS of combat (even regular) mechanics that are somewhat "discoverable" I guess would be the right word? LOL. I really do like this aspect about it out of many many things.

1. Get to Thornmarsh right after you complete Death's Door mission. 2. Obtain a ropecaster. 3. Obtain a shredder. 4. Obtain a sharpshot bow. 5. Obtain a better outfit. 6. Plug in coils to your gear. 7. Get to campfires to save your progress. That's it. Have fun. I think the weapons selection is 2nd only to Ghost of Tsushima.
Another big tip: Anytime you get to a work bench, craft your ammo there. It uses half, if not more, resources. The worst part of this game is that you can't just have access to very important materials. Volatile sludge, blast paste, and machine muscle are primary ingredients for most of the most powerful weapons. The grinding required to upgrade the best gear will lead you to the hardest machines just to upgrade the gear, let alone complete the story missions. You will burn thru your most valuable resources in the blink of an eye, so help yourself out by using the work bench to craft your ammo.
The arena gives excellent rewards. Purchase the Death Seeker’s Shadow bow, which is a legendary reward from the arena and fully upgrade it, which essentially makes it one of the strongest weapons in the game. I didn’t run into any issues with parts shortage doing this other than having to farm specific apex machine hearts. One tip: killing the normal machine and then allowing time to pass until it’s nighttime by resting at a shelter usually spawns the apex version of that machine at night.
This game feels like a different game than the first one. I got bored with the first one after several main quests but this one kept me going. One thing this game does well is that combat is reasonably challenging (I’m playing hard mode). Sometimes I even have the vibe of monster hunter when fight some giant machines

One thing i would advise if you are low on shards, go to a beach and kill every wild animal you see even after you upgraded all your pouches, as each purple loot is worth 125 shards and each blue loot is worth 50 shards, so killing them as you go through a beach is worth it. My favorite spot is from the Tideripper site to the Slaughterspine site, as you get to kill a tideripper, two random transport site (shellwalkers, behemoths or bellowbacks), maybe intercept the shellwalker convoy and a slaughterspine (unless rebels random encounter) with a shelter on the way. Of course, you can go after the rollerbacks as well. One round and back usually gives me 10-12k shards after selling everything necessary.
Idk how many hrs, but it's a lot because this has been my main game Ive been playing almost every day since the release date! 😅 And I am so glad I watched this because I found out about some things I still didn't know! Thanks so much! I usually know everything already & like the channel owner, I wish I knew a lot of these things in the beginning of my journey with Aloy. Some days I farm for upgradeable resources from machines & greenshine. That being said, I am glad they fixed the icon problem where the map would show icons existing after you have acquired them. But I think I have found some of the icons still need fixing because I can't find the greennshine that is supposed to be there. And some of these I remember doing already but my memory isn't always reliable. I wonder if other gamers find mistakes with the icons still...
Ive been trying to focus on the main story, but I end up getting distracted and going off a different direction. Then 6 hours later im like, "oh yeah, I was supposed to be doing the main quest". Good stuff
Some of the starting gear is worth leveling, but the mid tier gear has enough overlap with end game gear, I wished I had held off on some of the upgrading (the green shine and hearts were the main offenders).

1:13 no, you do not refill your berries from the stash. you refill them from the berry pouch that is part of your inventory. the pouch holds a max of 32 and if you use them all you are out even if you have more in the stash. also, you can run while refilling them from the pouch... no need to stay still, although it may be a bit difficult to run and press up on the dpad for some people.
I love that I can still control Aloy while cycling weapons. Just that tiny detail made a huge difference in my gameplay once I realized it
The 10 main quest first tip seems good but doing certain side quest first in each area gives different main quest dialogue scenes as you progress in that area, its still the same main quest but think you miss out on the better version story wise and sidequest don't take to long unless your hunting just to hunt the starter daunt area doesn't have many side quest for its alternate dialogue scene.

Definitely this. Plus it feels more organic to do those ones right then instead of waiting on them. Like the one that sees you investigating about why the Bristlebacks ended up in The Daunt. I did what I could of it before I finished The Embassy and once I could continue it I did which lead to finishing that side quest and stuff happening in The Daunt. If you leave it for later, I feel like you could end up kinda forgetting what happened in The Daunt and it wouldn't have the same punch it does when you do it immediately. I'm gonna do the quest for the salvagers as well since it's on the way to the main story quest point anyway (the one right after The Embassy). The main story points you towards a number of these quests so I think it's good to at *least* do those. I did get a relic ruin quest after saving some Oseram that I can't do yet since according to them there's a bunch of the firegleam in the way. So that I'm holding off on.

perhaps another approach is to only ever play missions that are within your level reach and avoid doing any free hunting or any other activity which might highten your level above any of the next level quests available. Still there are plenty of activities, hunting grounds etc that can also alter your level significantly depending on how many attempts you need to complete them... one thing is clear, there are many different ways of approaching progress in this game ! another reason why its so good !

something nobody has mentioned, is that on first play through you are actually still learning mechanics of the game which make it impossible to optimise approach since you also have no idea how it is going to evolve. but if youve played the first, then you would know as it worked that way in zero dawn too.
I shit you not I already have 60 hours in this game and I’m still working on side quest and the gold weapons and armors machine strike game, hunting grounds ext. this game is so fun I can’t stop playing
For me the biggest mistake I made was selling the metal blocks. They are in the sell category, but they are critical for buying machine parts from salvagers.

Holy crap thanks for reminding me of that. I went to a salvager the other day and I was like... I only have 14 metal blocks after hours of gameplay?? I probably sold them all. Will try to buy them back.
Doing side missions nets you skill points, cold hard skill points.
One thing you missed was turning off pickup animation for natural resources. Such a quality of life improvement
The thing about breaking machine parts is that optimal kill v drops kill. Optimal kill like breaking parts or causing reaction is mostly the easy way but doing so blocks drops. For instance you break the Stormbird's cannon it makes the fight easy but you'll never get it as a drop or shooting the belly of a fire/frostclaw for that massive explosive reaction makes the hunt easier but you'll not get the webbing drop. Its efficiency v rare drops

Strombird cannon is detachable. You can remove it with tear arrows pretty easily. Then you can recover it (depending on drop %), and you’ve removed it from the fight. For the fireclaw/frostclaw webbing, I hit them with the opposite elemental damage and then shoot their legs with arrows. Occasionally, they’ll fall down, and you can get in some knockdown damage. It’s really annoying to kill them this way, but it means you won’t damage the sacs.
20 hrs in and didn't know you can replenish your berries by holding up. So useful. Thank you

- For most upgrades and crafting, just loot what you need from the machines and run, you don't have to actually kill them (unless you heed hearts). It's simple but sometimes I forget I'm just collecting one thing and end up spending hours doing something that only takes 10 minutes. - Slaughterspines are scary as hell the music gives me chills - When selling things, press triangle to highlight each item you want to sell and press "x" to do one sale instead of selling them individually. This is another simple one that many people miss or forget.
Agree and disagree at the same time. Yes, do not fear to upgrade ur gears but don't go fully upgrade for green and blue gears because purple items are easy to get later on.
The game looking very good so far. Fluid combat, fun exploration and more items/armor/weapon to craft. 😎👌🏼
If you don’t want to worry about knocking things off. because sometimes when you do I realize it goes way to far and I can’t find it. You can turn on easy loot in the general tab in settings. You do have to turn on costum difficulty. I do recommend not touching anything else. So you don’t ruin your gameplay.

i read this early on and did it, i set the two options to normal so i play as it was intended but there is a setting that allows you to see climbing options its called Climbing Annotations turn this on as sometimes i am somewhere and its crazy action and i cannot see where to climb to
PRO tip, in setings, go to dificulty, set custom, and turn on easy loot, it will cause that machines will drop their parts ALWAYS, without special targeting them

I’m about 20 hours in and I’m still only just passed the beginning area lol
i watched you video like moooooonths before i can even be able to play, today the game came out and i know exactly where to go to refresh on the tips....loving the game alot! thanks for the videos.
3rd tip with the sidequests i realised too late i was stuck on a sidequest for almost an hour because i was so determined to get it done myself until i realized in needed the gear from the mainquest first
I'm at 36 hours in and I never knew half of this haha
I'm 80h in and now i understand why I've got so few key upgrade resources in my inventory 😅 I basically just killed the machine like in HZD 🤦🏻
honestly, the only things worth fully upgrading until you get legendary are green items. the first step is all you need for blues and purples. greens and oranges should be leveled all the way. you don’t wanna max out a blue/purple only to get a better legendary! that being said, some purple items that don’t have legendary versions should be maxed. like a purgewater/frost bow for example.
For the underwater missions earlier in the game you can just put the thalassophobia mode on. That gives you unlimited oxygen before having to do the Poseidon mission
1:13 is not wuite from your stash. The bottom number is your pouch, which your are carrying like your weapons. The number above it, is your inventory. So you're transferring it from your inventroy to you pouch. The berries in your stash are really only accessible from those settlements
I wonder if we will get a new game plus like we did with Zero Dawn.
TBH I'm glad I didn't know all of this stuff (I figured out some of it naturally); it was really satisfying to get through the main game without being aware of some of this stuff. I'm glad I've seen it now though as I think the information is very good for a second playthrough.
I have a question: Where to stop follow a main story and start fokus on grinding a side quests and other stuff? Thanks
A lot of this I do agree with, the one thing I would caution is ignoring certain level side missions. You could potentially be missing out on something useable that could be an upgrade for your level or wind up being completely useless cause you're overlevelled. I'm horrible with open world games cause they take me an eternity to finish. I've viewed maybe half the map so far and I'm some 80+ hours in on my save, some of that time is spent planning, some of it just sitting idle. I absolutely love the game however and it's my primary atm. Some things definitely help like you mentioned. The diving mask was a complete game changer and had I done that earlier, I wouldn't have had to backtrack near as much. Great video though!

From all the gameplay I’ve seen this game seems like Breath Of The Wild just far more complicated? I’m curious what you think?
tip for you, about No4 on your list, there is an option in settings to disable any and all loot from mashines to be destroyed, meaning you can kill the mashine without worrying about perfectly placed shots and parts geting wasted, it feels like a cheat, i know, but its there and makes farming for the parts way easyer

Thank you so much for this! Brilliant! I've always been a huge scavenger, picking up everything that's not, as you said, tied to the ground. So I'm happy to report I'm good on that front. I just entered the first cauldron, but will now (once I've led Varl and Zo through) make my way back to the first hunting grounds. Thanks again for all the tips!

If you like picking everything up, i highly suggest turning off picking animations, wish i had known that playing first time through. This makes picking up berries etc instant even when riding. Opening chests and this with "an inventory" stays the same

great tips vid and im totally luvin the game with only 1 gripe to speak of and thats the fact u cant fast travel into ur base :( yes there is a campfire on the western side fairly close but its still annoying
I just finished the game last night. Was totally awesome. Took my time and completed almost everything. Only need 2/3 trophies for platinum. Need to glide for 60 seconds. And I can’t remember the other ones. Lol. It this game was great. Even better than the first.
nah, i'm glad i explored a ton before i got certain tools because then a bunch of those things were marked on the map and i don't have to completely re-wander the entire world for them again
1. I do suggest upgrading your❤ SHARPSHOT BOWS and ITS SKILLS=> Using this sharpshot bow with its skill has helped me defeat tough enemies. The sheer power behind the shot. 2. Try to updgrade your resource pouch and quiver(hunter arrows,sharpshot or any other) 3. The SPIKE weapon is use as well, better get with explosion or elemental attrutubes. 4. If possible get rid of the armor or parts 1st. 5. LOOT as much as possible
Thank you for mentioning the hunting grounds and arena. Seeing how many medals are required to buy the gear that is sold at that vendor is gonna make it better for me to complete them.
im so happy they added the storage thing it was SO annoying in zero dawn
Theres an option to disable the animation for picking up items. This is better than plant forager since you can sprint over and hover up plants instantly.
This game is amazing on ps4. Not gonna mess with 5 until it's readily available. Thanks for the tips. Although most i learned from Dawn some i was just careless about. Lol.
I don’t understand the inventory and the stash. If everything just goes to the chest in the towns, what’s the point? Do I not have access to any of the resources unless it’s in my inventory?

Excellent video, great points made! I was just discovering the need to progress in the main quests for new gear when your video popped up in my feed. New subscriber, for sure! 🎮💕
The best thing about the game is that you can fly on the Dino birds
that's why I watch these videos before finishing a game lol
one thing that I loved about this game was that upgrading early gear didn't stop me from having resources to upgrade later gear. the resources required increased in rarity along side the gear so there were almost no overlaps in required parts. beautifully designed and outstanding game. this game is definitely game of the year... maybe. God of war... maybe.
so basically if you played the first game, this one is like that, but with better quality of life, like being able to stash items instead of micromanaging inventory slots
I upgraded everything I could periodically, and stopped the main quest before going to the final battle of with the Zeniths to do all side quests and get all collectibles to make sure I can have all that I need to fight with relative ease
At this point it's not about your armor or weapons they should not make the animation last long when you get hit by a enemy like holy shit they don't even give you time to get back up after getting hit and the second attack one taps you
For someone who prefers stealth, the Arena challenges are.... problematic though. I'm not fast enough with my reflexes for close combat and end up mashing keys and hoping for the best (Even at level 40, the beginner challenges were a close call, haha) :D Awesome game though, something for all play styles.
honestly when it comes to gear upgrading what you can do is start the game on easy, just level up your base gear once, reach the arena, grind up atleast 134 medals and get the best armor and weapon in the game, max them in terms of upgrades and coils, then up the difficulty. This will make you ready for endgame content pretty fast and also you will be habituated to the harder difficulty by the time you reach the endgame.
Even though i had already done a few of these, mainly the survivor tree (i hadn't picked a main weapon class to use & wasn't getting enough berries) still a very useful video
There’s a happy medium in what you’re describing about doing the main quest and side quests, as a very hard player, you can do both as long as the side mission level is lower or within 5 levels of your main mission level

In a world where it’s become acceptable to release broken, greedy games that are clearly made for nothing else but to make money, and the point no longer being about developing a game for the fan of the series, this game is a breath of fresh air. Although i have come across some bugs they are most certainly very far and few between and not at all near game breaking or rage inspiring. Todays Battlefields and Call Of Duty’s have all lost sight of what’s important to the gamer and they focus EVERYTHING on their greed and creation of a popular brand, not a product, and when that happens money and only money is the focus. It’s nice to see a company making a game that will make money as well as please the gamer. F the Battlefields and Call Of Duty’s of the world, let’s make them see that their greed should be their downfall. Stop buying mainstream games and rather support these companies that are actually trying to make a difference and produce something good with the gamer and what we want as their primary focus.
03:59 which one is which? Pink or yellow for chain reaction or key upgrade item? Also, how do you get both the chain reaction and the key upgrade item highlighted at the same time? Which one should I aim first? Thanks.
A mistake I did was rush through the main quests. I have little patience when it comes to side quests bc the story was too interesting, and somehow I did get thru everything either first or second try (except for boss fight) to the point where when I completed the game it was only 36% complete. But if you insist on getting your curiosity satisfied, I’d highly recommend bolt blaster (there’s a one that shoots ice,plasma, and acid), and knockdown/tear arrows or precision arrows (emphasis on tear damage-wow). Spoiler: try to get regalla’s bow
Good job I love the game in general. I despise hunting grounds. And not looking forward to the arena either.
