Hey everyone! We’re going to go through the proving this time… even though I am thoroughly confused about what that is 😀
Friendly reminder about keeping spoilers to a minimum.

IMPORTANT SPOILER/MODERATION NOTE
Please remember that pointing out missed items, lore points, etc. are SPOILERS for REPLAY, or for people who are "Playing Along". Comments along these lines will be removed by the moderators – – – General advice about an area ( "There's more lore in the amusement park" ) is acceptable. Pointing out specific items or areas ( "You missed the BlastoMatic 9000 under the cotton candy machine" or "there's a secret room behind the changing room bookcase" ) is not acceptable.
You look just like the main character
not sure about others, but it seems your sound mix is a bit quiet for your voice
use the focus bro lol it shows you weak points omg!! dont fight without it on you dont have to turn it off at all
the blue coloring is so beautiful. reminds me of my moms maxfield parrish paintings
a little advice. for example when using fire arrows, keep firing till the flame icon is full, youll see a white ring around it counting down but doing auto damage more than single arrows, so u have time
Regarding the could Nora Outcasts go else where, live amongst other tribes question? It's worth noting Erend said even Nora "Exiles" are welcome. He didn't say "Outcasts," which implies there's a difference between Outcast & Exile.. Unless it's just a different word choice. Lol.. 🤔
This story is going to blow your mind 😊
Omggg I’ve been waiting for so long !!
A shunned Nora won't just leave because they're not allowed to leave the sacred land.
Why aren't you stealthing those guys? If you don't have silent take down, you should get it.
You're doing great! I didn't get the corrupter on my first go, so don't worry. Always remember you can scan quickly then enter the menu to read about the machines in the catalogue without them trying to kill you at the same time haha
Continuing with the game's symbolism: Aloy told Rost that she would come and talk to him, and he would listen and remain silent in response. Well, that's what happened… The grave remains silent.
This game has some real heart-tugging moments and clever foreshadowing. As for an explanation; that's Aloy's real journey.
The first thing you should do when encountering a new type of machine is to scan it and read its strengths and weaknesses. Defeating the corruptor and corrupted striders would have been easier if you did that.
Don't worry about how graceful, or not, your first battle against a corrupter was. We have all been there. Your fight was very similar to my own the first time I played. You did very well. One thing you could do in the future, something I struggle with but others do with ease, is to set tripwire traps. Also, when the machines are paralyzed by electricity, you can run in and get one, sometimes even two critical spear hits before they recover. The best stragedy for paralyzed machines, assuming you are not fighting multiple maches at once, which most time you will, is to hit them with shock ammo/tripwires and then run in for spear hits. Do not try for 3 or more hits or the machine will recover and you will be a point blank target.
Sometimes there are extra dialogues with other characters outside of the main quest.
Look out for those extra dialogues. For example before the Proving you could have talked with the Sun-Priest and Teersa before or after talking with Olin. There are actually nice and story driven dialogues with lore.
Or even after finishing some missions you can try talking with characters again, sometimes there are extra dialogues open up.
Enjoyed your totally honest reactions to the game, I am playing the remaster on PS5, which is my 3rd playthrough so nice to see the first reactions again. Looking forward to your next instalment.
You did a fantastic job today! Your facial expressions when something happens are beyond exceptional, showing your surprise and really make your play through great and very enjoyable, the best I have seen.
No spoilers, but a couple mechanics items…
Don’t aim at just the front of a machine with fire arrows, Shoot your fire arrows fast, anywhere at the machines. Once the outer white timer ring appears on their fire level, switch to regular arrows and use them to actually aim at the components. when fire is gone, repeat. This tip is not shown well in the game.
Every merchant has a free treasure pack that has fast travel packs. Go to the vendors treasure box menu and pick it up from every merchant.
Crafting is big, especially with pouches. Look at that menu and see what you want to upgrade.
Once again, awesome job for a first timer. Thanks for the entertainment!!!
Tip: Only use elemental projectiles for triggering status effects (fill the round indicator over the health bar to trigger), or applying status effects directly by hitting the corresponding component (use focus to highlight them). For damage, switch to normal arrows.
Ich hasse Rassismus, Vorurteile und dumme Menschen, die dumm bleiben wollen. Immer open heart and open mind. Das Spiel eine Wucht. Du trägst es hervorragend wie immer. Dieser Part too much an Emotionen und ach ja …. die Laternen sind bei uns in Deutschland verboten – wegen Brandgefahr. Ich habe mir aber trotzdem vor vielen Jahren selber eine " gebastelt ", sie alleine bei Nacht an einem See entzündet und sie gen nachtschwarzen Himmel entsand. Für meinen dad. Sie leuchtete für mich ewig. LG
You are doing great. I wish that I had recorded my first playthrough so you could see how much I floundered my way through it. Looking forward to your next video.
Hass ist so einfach. Die Liebe so viel schwerer und ein auch endloser Kampf aber es lohnt sich so viel mehr. Dafür zu kämpfen, kostet alles aber ………………………. man schläft besser, ha! LG
Hold on to the visions in your eyes. LG
It's good to scan machines for weak spots. Some arer exposed like weapons, but some machines have their vital weak spots concealed and need to reach a state before exposing them, state like get too hot, freeze, electrified, etc. It requires several multiple impacts to reach a state. Tie machines to the ground, tear some parts also may help to weaken the machine.
Hey, @Liera or @Vedexent_… I just noticed that the playlist has episodes 1 and 2 in the wrong sequence.
First time I played it was on a harder difficulty and I had a really rough time with that fight.
Recently started playing it for the first time as well, really enjoying watching your playthroughs! Also curious about the music that plays at the end 👀
Aloy’s red hair blends into the red flower/leaves of the murder-bushes.
Consider going into:
Settings > General and turning ‘Pickup Animations’ to OFF.
This is a huge QoL improvement meaning that Aloy doesn’t stop to pick up flowers and herbs, you can be running and tap E (or triangle for console) to harvest/collect things on the run, without killing her momentum.
I would suggest experimenting with turning all HUD elements to ‘Dynamic’ also, for a much more cinematic experience.
I’m replaying HZD Remaster too right now and these two setting changes have drastically improved my enjoyment of this magical game over my first experience when it released.
Enjoy this incredible game!
Badass cosplay for Ep1 too btw. 🙏💚
This is what I feel is the end of the tutorial. Although like others have said I still think there's lots to see
I think Rost's plan was for suicide😢
Notice how many non-lethal attacks Rost made, hitting that guy with the butt of his spear, instead of the point, at least twice.
He was too reluctant to kill.
I like how you play it and your honest reactions. Just keep it up, it'll be awesome and beautiful, then the sequel which elevates the story and the game's world onto a new level. 😊 🤘🏼
Let me give you some gameplay tips, no spoiler of course. 🙂
1. The red potions are Health potions. Your pouch capacity is limited (but you can craft it bigger) so you can carry only some of those potions. If you have low health but you fight against human enemies then it's okay to drink some because you probably can loot others from crates or human enemies. And you'd better to farm resources for the Carry Capacity crafting (too), it will also give your opportunity to get familiar with the controls.
2. The Yellow Potion boosts your health so if you suspect there's a fight ahead, it's
3. Sell everything you need at Merchants. I have ~1.2 M shards in this game, much more than I can spend.
4. Machine Lenses and Machine Hearts are valuable but also you need some of them for buying Outfits or Weapons. Lenses for outfits, Machine Hearts for weapons. But don't hoard them, you can earn much much more money by selling them than the money you need for buying one or two when you actually need one for buying something. There's 1 special merchant in Meridian where you can buy (not just sell) Machine Lenses and Machine Hearts.
5. Use your Focus frequently. Datapoints are everywhere in the world, and they are there for a reason. Plus you can see through walls with your Focus. Also there are Box icons on the Compass indicating Datapoints and Loot Crates so you can quickly check it even without your Focus if there's something valuable nearby to loot.
6. Go for the Double Arrows and then Triple Arrows Skill. It'll 2x and 3x the damage you deliver. Handling mods on weapons accelerates how fast Aloy can insert additional bows into her bow.
7. Scan machines once, and search for weakpoints. After you scanned a machine the first time, you can find its data in the Notebook. That's very-very helpful! The fight against machine in this game gets truly enjoying if you learn and exploit the machines' weakpoints.
8. Don't hoard to many Ridge Wood, ~300-500 is far enough. It's cheap at merchants when your stock runs low. Btw. if you turn off the Pickup Animation, your looting (of plants, ridgewood, and canisters) gets truly fast. It's even useful during fights, a sort of a cheat.
Oh, by the way, Rost! You can return to his grave anytime, and Aloy's monologues will respect the story progression. They are beautiful thoughts, the writers gave their whole heart into it. 😏
Bookmark some videos, interviews with the creator, strictly after you finish the game:
• Making of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9tLcD1r-6w
• Writing Horizon Zero Dawn, the John Gonzales interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4P7uaaoRcM
I love how Rost looked nervous for a moment when waiting for the gate to open.
you will find out what happened to Rost not going spoil the where when and how i will say this now is when the real game begins
And so begins the journey.
Oh this is but the beginning, you'll be fine and get use to both the focus and the fighting – it's a very sweet ride full of good fights and extensive lore. Lots of secrets to uncover.
Wow! I just took the time to watch your new video. I love to see your emotions, in my opinion they show how good this game is, and I also enjoyed the big question marks in your face because of the unexpected twists. 😊
I felt the same way when I played it for the first time, it was really hard to take a break. And I think your battle against that new machine went well. You didn't have very much of those medicinal berries and didn't find time to heal during the fight, but you survived, so everything is okay.
You wondered if Aloy can read, do you want an answer, or would it be a spoiler? I don't know it exactly, but I have an opinion about that question. 😉
So enjoy the game, I'm looking forward to the next episode.
