Not when you quick save although I wish it did
You can buy the Ropecaster that helps. Basically stops it right on it's tracks instead of wrecking you. Also be sure to scan it with your Focus for weakspots. You can then read more about it in the Notebook mid-fight.
Protip:
Use fire arrows, corrupted machines such as the Demon you mentioned or any other corrupted machine is weak to Fire arrows + they have also their normal weakspots like Watcher's have their eye.
Yeah you need them to trade for certain equipment... so I hoard all of mine >_>
Some outfits require for example Watcher Lenses.
So yes, they are required for some gear and they can also be sold for scraps.
Are you sure? I haven't tried getting rid of quest markers but you can disable so much stuff..
Deactivate the quest?
I tried turning off the quest floaters (even before the custom ui settings) and waypoints but always off keeps them on.
Or I'm misinterpreting it and by quest and waypoint markers the game understands something else
But I want it on the compass.
Just no floating symbols
I used the ropecaster with that fucker but it didnt work, I dont know if its because I suck or because hard mode. But yeah had to kill him firing fire arrows while rolling.
Theirs many ways of approaching fights.
That's the name of it. The one I saw did shock, fire, and I think corruption, so it was just an upgraded variant of the War Bow, then. Thinking about giving it a try later, though I'm liking the Hunter + Sharpshot combo so far.

I'm, uh, testing this before giving it to my brother (not my fault he stood me up) and I'm really glad I bought into the hype. This is how open world games should PLAY. If AssCreed combat was half as fun as this is with only three enemy types challenged so far, man, I wouldd actually play them. Level 5, normal, no aim assist and the Scrappers from their central lair kick my butt (which is weird, since I managed the speared one and his buddies in a few tries). Love it.
However, in regard to those critters, they're not in my bestiary anymore. During the first side quest I had them

- with the header "cauldron" to boot. Now I'm really wondering what cauldrons are, especially after reading just the word a couple of times in this thread. I will let myself be surprised, though.
Thank you!
You will be sent to where the power cells are, but you will have to search for them.

Where or how do I get the ropecaster ?
I'm level 21 and just arrived in Meridian and it's nowhere to be found.

You get it as part of the main quest or you can just buy it at a merchant
More or less every single merchant you've spoken to will have had some version of it for sale.
The larger the enemy the more ropes you need, and the time they stay down will be shorter if you attack the enemy while they are down.

They don't. Oh it looks like you have to do more main quests to ''unlock it''.

I've yet to go to Meridian and have the ropecaster. I bought it off a merchant when I was level 9.
Super weird. The very first merchant I spoke to had a ropecaster for sale, as did every other subsequent one. I was wielding the blue version before I arrived to Meridian.
Yes, and its entirely down to how you want to approach the fights.
For some, when you can do some tactical planning for the encounter, you can lay traps, tripwires & goad the robos into them, leaving you free to land the crit hit.
Other times they'll surprise you and you'll be reliant on your wits and improvisational skill - being mugged by several watchers and a bigger robo? Use the takeover device to turn at least one watcher to your side, and it'll attack the others, and some of them will focus on it, leaving you free to flank them or attach the big guy.
Using the bestiary to learn elemental weaknesses is essential too - it doesn't make the combat easier, but it makes you more effective at it.
Don't be put off by how OP the stealth kill is early on either. It doesn't last.

God damn this game is beautiful. But holy shit I suck at combat
Incredibly varied if you want to be creative.
Thanks! I think I used 2 on the same target? but not sure, I never used them before that fight so I was kinda on "panic mode" throwing everything I had lol
I'll practice tonight with random enemies.
The only way to get rid of that is deactivate the quest. I think they will patch that soon though.Ye, I've tried, even to turn everything off, but quest square still remains there.:/
I've used like 8 on bigger baddies.
