Leave this thread before someone spoils the story for you.

Seriously. Unraveling the mystery is one of the best parts of the game.

I agree, the game is a masterpiece and I wish I could experience it again for the first time.

Coool_breeze16 OP t1_iyeu9lo wrote

I just need a handful more tips!! Although someone recommended a GREAT website that gives tips spoiler free. I'll go there instead in second thought😅

I played side missions before main story. This helped me gain weapons and skills that really made the main story cake. There is a point system. If the main story says you're at level 20.. And there are side missions open at levels below 20.. I would do them before continuing on the main story or quest. Just a personal choice but as I mentioned. Really helps you up your skills and combat abilities.

Coool_breeze16 OP t1_iyex39o wrote

Does the game restrict how op you can become through the side quests??

AcidShAwk t1_iyex8jt wrote

Some side quests may be blocked until you reach a certain level or gain a special tool.

No restrictions for being OP. I will say though once I got the most powerful weapon in the game combat would get a little boring. They did a better job with that in the next game.

There's no missable stuff. Just play, have fun, experiment with the different weapons and gadgets.

Pretty much every type of arrow and ammo has its use, do use them.

Coool_breeze16 OP t1_iyeruxm wrote

Is it a grindy game where I have to go out of my way to find collectables and Hidden quests?

Arsonist_Xpert t1_iyet1ya wrote

Only if you want the absolute bestest gear

Coool_breeze16 OP t1_iyev4xl wrote

Which I definitely do! Looks like there's alot of grinding in my near future

Duzza91 t1_iyezu53 wrote

The first game (HZD) is actually very low on grind for an open-world game. The best armor is looked behind collectibles (but only 5 pieces scattered throught the entire game). Apart from that, generally the best equipment ist simply unlocked by progressing the story and then buying it at a trade. Honestly, the combat was such a blast to me that i never had to specifically decide to farm certain enemies...all i needed i got by just playing and trying out new weapons

Duzza91 t1_iyf01ho wrote

Also, i did not even use the "best armor" in ultra hard newgame+, for certain optimization reasons

Kill everything that walks. Never know when you’ll need certain parts

Coool_breeze16 OP t1_iyesrux wrote

What would you say is the most valuable item to be in the lookout for when looting robots?

1

SundaeComfortable628 t1_iyf07e7 wrote

Depends on what you want to craft. Just be careful to not completely destroy them and look at what parts are on there body that you need to be careful with actually hitting

stealth is your best friend for some fights, it's better to take your time and take them out one by one rather than rush into a massive fight

I really don't get it, why people ask for "//tips" in such games. Just play the game! You'll figure it out! It's quite casual. Instead he's sitting here in danger of getting more spoilers. Yikes

Well, there are like 6 difficulty levels. A tip could start there…

Mysterious_Fennel459 t1_iyeuxsk wrote

I like the bow that has that vibrate ability that busts off all the dino's parts.

Also you can stack trip wires on top of each other and get a hard dino to walk into it and it'll do all the stacked trip wire damage at once.

Coool_breeze16 OP t1_iyew0yj wrote

Thanks!! This will definitely help me out when I get out into the open world

1

eruciform t1_iyekwgw wrote

Try every weapon and every type of ammo, all kinds of combinations are viable. Unless you're really hard-core don't go above normal difficulty on a first run, it's a pretty challenging game. Exploring is fun and rewarding, if nothing else to unlock fast travel locations or map towers. It's pretty open world so after getting out of the starter area you can go almost anywhere and do a lot of things in different orders.

Chromiacze t1_iyeudmg wrote

Go for all sidequests, they are great. Also, frozen wilds are pretty tough, so don't go there until you are really geared up and get some exp, both as player and your character.

And have a lot of fun!

2

Coool_breeze16 OP t1_iyevkqk wrote

I love good side quests!! Especially if they present the opportunity to level up in the process. And thanks for the frozen wilds tio. Someone else in this thread told me to do it straight out the gate...

1

Chromiacze t1_iyew440 wrote

Definititely no - first machine will have like lvl 30 or so. They'll eat you alive in 5 second. You'll have suggested level to attend this quest displayed in quest log, so you'll know when you are more or less ready.

2

Coool_breeze16 OP t1_iyewog8 wrote

Okay!!! Will do! Do the sidequests have story components or is it more "go here, do this and kill that"

Those are annoying too but I was just saying that at the start they can be annoying

Do the hunters lodge stuff. Imo great way to learn how to deal with different machines. I tried doing the game without googling stuff so hunters lodge was essentially a tutorial to fight all the machines.

Learn how to use the camera mode. You will not regret.

nightcore34 t1_iyf4873 wrote

Get in the habit of collecting resources as and when you see them because you need them to craft, it is very easy to think you have enough and then later on you've used up your resources and have to grab them.

WolfLover104 t1_iyfaf98 wrote

The only thing I can say it’s awesome game

2

Obvious-Okra5484 t1_iyfav2e wrote

The number one recommendation is to actually read the lore and sight see as you go around. Knowledge of the lore that it shows you will make the story far more interesting. Just don't rush the main story. Take the scenic route and avoid any spoilers or even tips on most things, they aren't needed.

Only combat tip I have is that every weapon type and element has a use. Don't do what I do and only use 1 or 2 things and forget. There will be a challenge/tutorials thing here and there which shows you what different weapons or elements do.

Enjoy!

malccy72 t1_iyekhxp wrote

Just enjoy the story as much as the game. It is a shame almost to just rush through it. It is worth savouring.

1

Coool_breeze16 OP t1_iyeu3mx wrote

I always savour open worlds. Especially the super detailed ones where you can tell the Devs filled every corner of it. I'll try my best to go through the whole game and savour it. I'm not really the speed runner type

frost damage is your friend

Coool_breeze16 OP t1_iyet473 wrote

How do I get that? Are there frost arrows or is it a weapon mod?

Arcticwolfi6 t1_iyewmtm wrote

You'll cone across is naturally but it's very good on ultra hard ng+ if your going for the plat freeze them then hit them with a triple arrow

Coool_breeze16 OP t1_iyewxh5 wrote

I don't think I'm going for platinum but I'll keep this in mind. Thank you!!!!

Otherwise_Procedure3 t1_iyemuvz wrote

Don't Brute force the combat. Play it tactically and think about what you're shooting where.

1

Coool_breeze16 OP t1_iyesx36 wrote

Would I be able to take out a heard with a spear or is a spear more of a last resort type thing?

2

Otherwise_Procedure3 t1_iyet41z wrote

More of a last resort, you can dodge around the place and fight with the spear but without a block/parry the spear isn't really useful as a main form of combat.

TipTronique t1_iyeojzz wrote

Don’t play on highest difficulty as the enemy bullet sponge factor is pretty gnarly.

Just have fun!

I chose normal but I was seriously considering challenging myself with the hard or very hard mode. Glad to see I made the right choice!! Thank you!!

Bro why would you skip cutscenes in a single player game??

detroit54701 t1_iyetp80 wrote

Grind the side quests first to up your gear and kill tree. It will make the missions easier

Are the main missions particularly difficult with the starting gear?

Yes your way under powered vs some of the more mobile beasts

TheButcherOfBaklava t1_iyewbsw wrote

Because you have the frozen wilds expansion, you will get spear upgrade runes or whatever. You will never be able to use them until the dlc. Fyi

Coool_breeze16 OP t1_iyewshe wrote

What kinda useless dlc is that...

1

DurzaWarlock t1_iyf3fi1 wrote

It's a good DLC, but it's a late game DLC, most of it donsn't apply until the late game.

Sebzerrr t1_iyexwuh wrote

Shoot shiny stuff

Solh0und t1_iyf1b00 wrote

Honestly, I played up until level 28 or so and did the Frozen Wilds dlc. It actually adds a bit of story bits since you'll run into a character that gets talked about a lot in the later parts of the game. Plus the weapons you get from the side mission you do post dlc story are worth it.

Saiitek t1_iyf3t10 wrote

If you are playing in harder difficulties you need to start learning to play with all the variety of traps elemental damage and weakspots from early on, because IT can bei really hard Sometimes.

LuNoZzy t1_iyf7eo9 wrote

Recently finished this game. Don't worry about missing something. You won't. Just relax and play the game.

However don't forget to do the side quests first before you do the main one. Have fun!

horse3000 t1_iyfau1h wrote

Here’s a tip, the story is pretty good. But the gameplay / combat is dogshit imo

SnowArcaten t1_iyelgna wrote

If the ammo selection gets overwhelming, just focus on normal arrows and tear arrows. Use tear to remove parts and normal to do damage. Refine as you get more used to them.

If you do the Frozen wild stuff first it'll give you a leg up on the rest of the game.

That's a protip right there!! Will it give me powerful weapon or something?

Retroid_BiPoCket t1_iyeup2w wrote

I actually do not recommend this. There are some extremely difficult battles in it. Seriously, stop reading comments and play the game

3

Shumagorolth t1_iyes4jf wrote

It would allow you to mod your spirit early in the game it would give you good armor early in the game and it would give you a whole bunch of mods that you can use in your weapons early in the game. Not to mention four quest related weapons that are really powerful
