Horizon Forbidden West: 7 Tips You Need to Know Before You Start

Dont fret future ellen, i watched your horizon videos you worked hard on! It just took awhile to get a ps5.

That was amazing,what bow did you use buddy?

thanks for the last one i was ready to google how to get them like i thought it was some really complicated puzzle i couldnt solve😭

upgraded focus is what im gonna call my adhd medication now

“Loots with the fur” title card got me

Finishing Zero Dawn tonight and starting Forbidden West, these are great tips! (I am especially glad there will be ladders to help me regain my progress when I invariably miss a jump or biff a climb.) Thank you!

The only thing lacking is inviting companions on any quest

There's an accessibility option you can turn on that ensures you won't lose any items, regardless of how you defeat a machine. Much preferred for optimizing strategy, survival and ending battles as quickly as possible, rather that faffing about trying to knock off specific parts before taking the fight seriously.

Just starting this game, great tips, thank you.

"System of a Drown" got me good 😂😂😂😂

Take away the story and busy work
And you still have an excellent machine hunting game

when I hit O for swan dive she doesn’t actually do a swan dive, is there a particular way you have to do it?

Just precision bow everything

I have to say, the British accent makes a difference.

this has been the easiest and best beginners guide I've passed through. Well done!

Say you’re white without saying you’re white…Sadly chillies aren’t pickled

Using motion aiming?

If your drowning underwater (because where else would you drown?) Just pop a fast travel pack.

You can change many settings by hand. Some should be adjusted, such as improving slides and running and automatically picking up things by just moving over them to save time. Know what the settings do!

You know what would be dope 🤔 , if you could take one or two other characters with you when you are farming and trying upgrade your weapons 😉

Love this game but only complaint I have is no underwater combat or at least some way to defend yourself underwater besides hiding and smoke bombs

I don't watch these until I finished the game. Don't worry, I finished it beginning of March. I just now got around to seeing this one. As for almost drowning, you can fast travel to a camp fire before you drown.

I was playing a vr game (unbinairy) and the main companions voice kept sounding like Ellen to me, even though I know it wasn't her

I like the sharpshot bow especially the sharpshot bow from arena

Grab everything that isn't nailed down? Ah Ellen, I see you are a Blood Raven at heart

That joke about it being daunting is just awful 😖 lol very informative 👏

So much talk, so little info

Did you also know you can shoot the canisters on scrap piles to harvest them. Before you search the piles, or they will disappear.

This game is sometimes overwhelming for me compared to first one. Its much more complicated but i'm looooving it.

That's it im Ordering this next week

I clicked on this video because I finished the whole main story so you can't have
spoiled me.

I've already beaten the game why am i still watching this lol

Varl ;;

Varl should have kept his beard. Just sayin.

This is how I handled picking up items.

"So this item is useful for-"
"Collect it. Got is."
"I didn't finish-"
"Collect this too. Got it."

FYI… You can fast travel out of the water before you drown. Great for collecting resources early.

Sooo I should just go back to the daunt then?

Finished it today, including all the mini games and even filled out the skill tree. It’s super fun y’all. The story is great. Can’t wait for future DLC.

Nice tips, I adore this game as well as Zero Dawn but my one major complaint is having the diving mask and the Vine cutter tool placed so far in the main story path. By the time you get the last piece of special gear you’ve completed more than half the story missions. The diving mask should have also been obtainable much earlier in the story.

I definitely noticed that weapon effects (ie corrosion, frost, fire) made a difference here compared to zero dawn. I’m loving the game.

Tip: you can fast travel from anywhere if it's in your inventory, unless you are falling. Easy way to avoid dying.

I appreciate these tips but, when comparing your upgraded bow to your un-upgraded bow you hit that last boar with a critical headshot. That's why it went down in one hit, not because of the upgrades.

Aim for a boar's head and even with a weaker bow, you can still sometimes oneshot them.

Beat the whole freaking game, entire days spent playing this and nothing else

It took me the better part of 2days too get the surge charge combo right the R1.R1.R1 pause R1 then hold R1 release and then R2 when I could not do it after 2 hours straight I left it then did every single other melee pits and came back too do this one as I needed it for the trophy

"Take everything that isn't nailed down" you should see all the rocks in my inventory

ok so when is the mmo come out where different continents are different servers and are fighting each other like dark age of Camelot?

“Quietly swearing to yourself…”, ah no, how about loudly! I’ve got to the point where I simply have to grind for a quite a few hours to improve my gear.

I found that sunken cave and immediately thought it’s something for later. Played enough games to know that by now. I think I recently played Skyward Sword where that kept happening to me so I sensed that with Forbidden West right away. If I didn’t recognize something that I can get pass, I’ll keep on walking west.
