Finally beat the lvl 7 enemy base and the first celler to unlock additional overides.
Nice perks right there.

It will drop you right back before the start of the final mission so yes.

Damn it, sorry bud. If I'd have read this before I'd redeemed it, I would have definitely given it to you.

No, go blind! Awesome game. Maybe put it on hard. Don't spend too much time on errands (no point in burning out), just mix main quests and side quests.

I override a Watcher outside of the cauldron in the Embrace and that little champ defeated a Scrapper and two other watchers without my help. I watched as he yore them apart. I felt bad when he ran back to me and he had a sliver of health left, sparks flying out his body, and he looked like he was in pain and I couldn't repair him.
I haven't left the Embrace yet and the game is telling me I'm 20% complete with the game. I haven't even done all the side mission and haven't collected all the collactables. I could only imagine the amount of content outside of the Embrace.
I also need 2 more power cells for the side mission that gives you the

You really can't get them early. You'll be 80%+ into the game before you have all the parts.

I can't bring myself to do the main quest :lol
I'm level 30 or 31 and my main quests are lvl 14/15. I just like doing everything so much. I stumbled upon a random Osrem forge that had a couple of quests in it. This game is so good.
I thought it was 2 and then 3?

Damn the story is really interesting. Also I didn't expect to say it, but I like the audio logs lol.

The logs are neatly contextualized and super well done. They're a great, indeed.

I was actually told that earlier in this thread and forgot about it. Thanks for the reminder.
It could be 3 though I think I only saw 2 after the first 2 I put in. I have a really horrible memory so I'm questioning myself right now and I'm unsure. I'm still in the Embrace so I can check later when I get on.

First game in ages when i am never really tempted to use the fast travel, moving around is just so much fun.
However, this game has just got super fucking hard. i have gone from kicking everything arse to cowering behind rocks waiting for the fire bellowbacks to go away. they are destroying me.
I've just done the mission involving the "steel circle" which was easy, but now the game just seems to have gone crazy hard. I've unlocked the double arrow perk which will hopefully give me some extra damage, but am i missing something? ive tried tear arrows and everything, they (fire bellowbacks) just don't seem to die.

Freeze arrow/bomb his main body until you trigger the frozen status and then hit the cargo sac on its back with fire arrows/bombs until it explodes. Generally it's enough to take it down, but if it doesn't, it has disabled its elemental attacks.
I had issues with Bellowbacks too, more so than most enemies in the game actually up to and including Thunderjaws! From memory, it's hard to see in the Machine Catalogue where their blaze canisters are. They're right underneath their bodies, best way to get at them I found is use shock arrows/trip wires to bring them down then you can get clear shots at the canisters. That or use the Ropecaster to reveal the canisters.

You need the Carja War Bow or better for that. Each kind of bow fields different arrows, the War Bow arrows are "elemental" - shock, ice and corruption.

Not really that hard if you override the TJaws and have him use the disc launcher on them and done

I'm level 30 and I haven't even made it to Maridian yet. It's a level 12 mission.
So I did the second Cauldron last night around 2 in the morning, Cauldron Zeta I believe.
Fuck those Machines that can
I used all my health items, Fire Arrows, and blaze fighting them. They're harder to fight then Thunder Jaw in my opinion. It didn't help that I was also taking on Watchers and
I couldn't even get a Scan on it so I don't know it's name or weakness.
Can't wait to find the other Cauldrons. All Machine kind will be my servants! Should I hold off on the story to get the final 2 long necks and whatever Cauldrons remain?

Yeah, one tear blast arrow almost always removes the cloaking device. Very annoying foes though, thats for sure.

Yeah, Stalker zones are quite annoying. They're not difficult enemies, just hard to avoid. I Still hate Glinthawks the most though.
Yesterday I took down my first Thunderjaw and man was it disappointing. At this point in the game where I have all the best weapons they are just easy. 1 tear arrow takes down a disc launcher. Pick it up, blast away and repeat. After the 2 disclaunchers it'll not have much hp left, and the rest of his arsenal is pretty weak.
Might have to nudge the difficulty up a bit.
Also, what's up with the Snapmaw graveyard?

hmm, i haven't found that. i guess i'll get it further into the game
As others have said, Tearblast arrows are your friend. One arrow will remove 2-3 components every single time in my experience, one of which being the cloak field. Then just shock arrow and run up for critical hits.

Can someone post a picture of the platinum theme? I rarely bother plat a game but maybe this one.

Avoid spoilers, do ALL the bandit camps, make sure you collect all your allies before the final fight/quest (look up a non spoiler guide for this).
Have a fuckin' blast! Oh and save your shards for the purple items - blue ones ain't worth it.
Fire arrows and hardpoint arrows are your friend. Save your tearblast arrows for later on. You'll need them for the cauldrons especially.
Enjoy the best game to come out since Bloodborne and one of the best ever.

So far I've done 4 Cauldrons. How many are there total?
I want to get all the Cauldrons and Tall Necks before I go to Maridian.
Lol.. I'm level 33 and the next story mission is level 12. This game is so much fun.

What's the importance of doing Bandit camps?
yeah i'm level 21 and realising the story missions are way down, i don't know if anything important got patched as i have no internet, so i'm playing the OG version.

Seriously Sunhi, the quality of your gifs just never drops. Absolutely beautiful and still the best adverts for this game I've seen anywhere.
I think I mentioned in this thread at the time, but your gifs are what made me buy the game in the first place, so cheers for the 40+ hours of awesome times.

Snapmaw are fun, especially when you're fighting more than one and they start pouncing you.

Did 4 camps and completely missed him so far, except for the first time.
And I agree, those gif's are top notch.
Faced my first 2 Stormbirds yesterday. Pretty disappointing fights honestly, as soon as you get rid of the Shock cannon it's a breeze. Though they do take a lot of damage to kill. Thunderjaw's were more fun.

Is it tie behind a story mission or can I go in whenever? I'm trying to find the entrance.

Oh my god that intro was great, already fully immersed into the world with that.
Anyway, do you guys have any tips on which difficulty setting to play on? Had no issues beating Witcher 3 on Death March since the game was pretty straight forward. But I hear Very Hard here can be a bit too Souls-like in the approach to combat?
