This channel deserves at least ten times more subscribers. Top quality guides for HFW players.
I agree.
I agree as well. This guy and Joraptor make some of the best vids.
Completely agree.
Hey thanks! Thanks very kind 😄 Glad you enjoy my content!
@@ArktixOfficial we love it. Keep plugging away and doing what you are doing. I promise, you will make it doing this.
Dodging under the legs is something straight out of a movie! 😂 Thank you for the guide! I really needed this since I absolutely despise fire claws 👍🏻😅
I love love love the timestamps, the footage, the explanation and everything else about this video, this is so helpful and fun to watch. usually this kind of video is just a voiceover and some generic footage (not just horizon content, but games in general). so I really appreciate you including screenshots and gameplay that demonstrates each thing you're talking about.
Thank you! I do put a lot of effort into getting clips that help illustrate the point. I’m glad you think that’s working 😄
Exactly! He demonstrates absolutely everything. Even a detail like 5:42
As a bonus, once you get the hang of taking these things down with this method, you can reliably farm the Apex variant and start racking up a bunch of Apex Fireclaw hearts. You need a handful to upgrade certain legendary weapons, but you can sell the rest for big shards.
Yes! Good point! Farming the hearts can be a good shard farming method! Apex Slaughterspine hearts are even better!
I needed this badly, I pay on easier difficulty and try to take everything out from a distance which doesn't work with these guys. Sometimes I need the reminder that I should try other play styles!
Thanks Kristina! Glad to hear this helped you out 😄 It’s definitely easy to get stuck in a particular playstyle. Glad I could help you switch things up a bit!
These videos are great, really adds to the enjoyment of the game. The shredder master class video by itself completely changed the game for me for the better
Hey thanks! Glad you're finding my videos helpful 😄
Your tutorials and tips are so insanely useful! This one in particular will help me so much because I often got ANNIHILATED by fireclaws, particularly the one outside a rebel camp that basically one-shotted me multiple times. I'll go at him right now with your tips! Thank you so much!
Awesome! Thanks Ollie! Glad to hear this one helped you out 😄 Yeah Fireclaws are very tough!
masterfully done and entertaining to watch. gonna go try it out now thanks man!
Wow absolutely love your tutorials! Very precise with many options, thank you for your hard work!
Hey thanks! 😄 I’m glad you enjoy them and I hope they help you out!
Another great video my guy. Consistently helpful information and made easy to understand.
Thanks Matthew! Glad you found it helpful =D
your videos are so well made! these guides are a life saver! i hope your channel grows quickly and you get more acknowledgement! thank you so much
Hey thanks a lot! Glad you’re enjoying my content 😄 I appreciate your support! 👍
wow Wow WOW!!! Your channel is an absolute Master Class on HFW. Without a doubt, the best of the best. Thanks for doing the homework for the rest of us, and for presenting everything in a clear, concise manner.
Hey thanks! 😄 I’m glad you enjoy my content!
Your setup tips to get the machine roped down is really nice to know. I'll be using that in the future for sure! It seems usable in a lot more situations apart from trying to rope down a machine. I'll think of it in future future fights
I'm thinking of putting overdraw coils on the rope caster, but every big machine can be tied down with two overdrawn (fully upgraded) shots, but I like to think it is a usable option maybe I'll try testing it in the future
Thanks! Yeah tying them down is and hitting armor plates for elemental buildup is a tactic I really like when I need to farm specific components. Overdraw would be interesting on a rope caster...I'll have to give that try. Maybe you could get it to tie down big machines in one shot!
You are an absolute legend my man, hands down the best put-together Horizon explainer videos I have seen!!
Hey thanks a lot! I appreciate that 😄
This channel is such a jewel.
So professional in all aspects.
Hey thanks! Glad you're finding my content to be good quality 😁
Love your machine hunting guide... very detail on what to use to face them, solid instructions on how to damage it and how to avoid their attacks, and fun to watch. Im seriously struggling facing Slitherfang until i watched your guide Thanks! P.S need more of this
Thanks! I’m glad you’re finding them helpful 😄 I have more on the way! Dreadwings are next!
Great vid Arktix! Gotta love that Freeze & Boltblaster combo. The close-range coils really tear it apart too. Hope you're doing well! 🤙
Hey Sonny! Thanks 😄 Yeah the freeze+boltblaster combo is 👌 I remember when you posted your clip doing with the the maxed Blast Forge on Discord. That motivated me to finish my Blast Forge upgrades lol. Hope you're doing well too!
Nice! Thank you so much.. Your guides are the best. Now just holding out for the stormbird guide.. And then all my legendary gear will be fully upgraded.
Hey thanks Prachi G! I'm glad you like these =D I'll definitely be doing one for Stormbirds!
Another excellent and informative video. Thanks for your hard work!
Thanks! And you're very welcome!
Bro found your channel the other day with GOW content and was impressed but this video about the frost claw webbing is a god send, been trying to get this done and other videos wasn’t cutting it..
I’ve just started playing the game again after putting it down for months and your videos have given me a new love for the game..
New sub and keep up the good work my friend! 👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾
Awesome! Glad you found this helpful 😁 And thanks a lot for your sub! I appreciate it 🙏🤜🤛
I love your videos man!! so useful and enjoyable to watch
Awesome! Thanks Elmer! Glad you're enjoying my content and finding it helpful =)
Excellent video...again. In the overview of the gear you called the Valiant outfit the Sentinel...but I got it.
I always called this approach the "S and M" strategy: Tie them up and punish them. It's one of those other strategies that work well with other machines once you understand the new rules for the ropecasters in this game; it's a classic.
I like to shock the canisters and then freeze them...which is fun, but this strategy is more efficient, creative and safer.
Thanks for putting in the work, man!
Thanks Furious! Lol yeah we're definitely torturing them a bit this way. S&M 😂
Super useful, thanks for this!
You’re very welcome! Glad to hear you found it helpful 😄
Dude, thank you. These guys were giving me such a hard time! I used your technique and took down two in a row without dying! Easy peasy!
Wow love it! Super entertaining to watch your mastery of these machines 😊
This was an exceptionally good guide!
Thank you! Hope you found these tips helpful.
This video is a godsend thank you! Those sac webbings are the most frustrating part to farm and you need so many of them!
Hey thanks Patrick! Yeah the sac webbing is a grind! Glad you found this helpful 😄
Excellent guide all around - - thanks so much! My kiddo will be shocked and awed when we use this together in copilot mode!
Thank you! Glad you found this helpful 😁 That’s really cool you play co-pilot mode with your kiddo! Have fun!
Love these videos, great information.
Thanks! Glad you like the, and find them helpful!
Oh my god! This has been something I've been waiting for my whole life. Thank you so much.
Lol awesome! I hope it helped!
Thanks for all these videos. Was struggling to kill then quickly due to lack of good weak spots.
You’re very welcome! Yeah the lack of weak spots is really what makes Fireclaws so difficult. Hope these tips help!
Thank you. I Don't like to put in so much time in strategy, so this helps a lot! 🎉
Excellent tipps! Thank you so much for sharing! 💪☺️🙏🙏
No problem! Glad you found it helpful!
Great tutorial! Very detailed and to the point. Thank you!
You’re very welcome! I hope it helps!
You make it all seems so easy, barely an inconvenience, nice!
Haha thanks. Lots of practice and experimentation 🙂
Dude....... really..... you are the MASTA! Thank you, you guide is the best ever........ after this guide we can use this strategy on lots of other machines and it works perfectly on Fireclaws!
Something about your videos... Dunno if it's the attention to detail, the lively commentary and engaging personality or the discovery of the finer details of the game, but sir you have rekindled me love for this game; to finally make me make time to dive into the game plus after over a year putting it down. Keep up the great work man. Subscribed and bell notified ✌️
Another great video! Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
Thank Brian! Glad you like this, and I hope it was helpful!
Man, this worked SO well. I very much appreciate these videos
Thanks! Glad you found it helpful 😁
Hi.Thank you for this. Fireclaws are not easy to deal with even on normal difficulty with your best gear, if you don't know what you are doing.
No problem! Yeah Fireclaws are very tough! Glad you found this helpful =D
Super helpful tips. I’ve neglected ropecasters till now
Thanks so much. I got Forbidden West a couple weeks ago and your videos have been really helpful.
Thanks! Glad to here you’re finding my videos helpful 😄 I hope you’re enjoying the game!
Bro what a video ....never seen such detailed explanation for forbidden west. Well done. SUBSCRIBED!!!!
Haha thank you! Glad you liked it!
WoW, this method is so much easier!
great video!
Thanks! Glad this was helpful 😄
Thanks for the tips!
No problem!
Love your videos. Your strategy definitely helps for the Apex. I have a different strategy for the regular fireclaw, which to me is easier to beat. I put it into the brittle stage right away and the unload my boltblaster. Afterwards i use a smoke bomb and get behind and use its shock canister to put it into shock stage and use a warrior bow to unload it on the leg area where there's no armor. Warrior is easier and fast to use and won't worry about consuming expensive materials. Once the shock meter is about to run out, I shoot another shock canister so it goes immediately back into the shock stage and repeat with the warrior bow. I use burst shot since its more precise on hitting where I want to. When I run out of canisters to shoot, I smoke bomb and repeat first step. Brittle stage and then boltblaster. By this time, I kill it without it ever fighting back. Works every time for me. I play on Ultra Hard so it can work for anyone. But your strategy definitely works for Apex version.
Thanks! Glad you’re enjoying my content 😄 Thanks for sharing your strategy, too! Sounds like that would also work well! Do you use shocked enemy damage coils on the warrior bow?
@@ArktixOfficialso cool you responded lol. yeah I do. I have two of them, 18% and three impact damage coils. Wish I could equip close range damage coil.
Also to add, I also use the ranged master valor. I use it in the beginning and the end. The warrior bow helps me replenish it 😁
Of course! I try my best to respond to everything. Although the it’s getting tough with the channel getting bigger 😅 And cool thanks for describing the coils and your VS too. Ranged Master is also my favorite 😄 Yeah it’s odd you can’t equip close range to a Warrior Bow. I guess they decided that was a little too OP lol
Incredibly helpful, thank you!
No problem! Glad to hear you found it helpful!
thank you very much for the tips!
Bruh I needed this in my life 👍🏽👏🏽👍🏽👏🏽👍🏽👏🏽
Haha awesome! I hope it helped!
Absolute godsend you and this video are! I've been racking my brain over a good strategy to efficiently farm the sac webbing. Was using a 4x upgraded Carja's Bane to get the +25% knockdown and kitted out with knockdown coils to stagger the Fireclaw while still doing damage and using the Elemental Fury valor surge for longer brittle duration. But your method is faster and cleaner for sure. Cheers mate!
you're amazing! please continue making such content
Hey thanks Naman! I have many more videos planned!
Always expect quality work when clicking your videos. Very well done as always.
Hey thanks Gregory! Glad you think my video are quality work =D
Nice guide! I found a rebel Fireclaw in the north and while the Frostclaws in the area were relatively easy to kill even in very hard, that Fireclaw was insane with my mostly half upgraded blue gear at that stage of the story. It took as long as a full Apex Thunderjaw to even get it to half life and even after doing that, I had to run away and the entire area reset because I ran a little too far. At least I still had the knowledge on how to avoid his attacks from the first game.
Your guide helped me take it down way more easily. It took 4 rounds of tying it down and I had to hide between round 2 and 3 to reset aggro and kill some of the rebels that went poking their nose around because I have blue weapons that aren't even fully upgraded and I hadn't used the weapon technique yet so I didn't know it kind of locked your aiming so I couldn't target the stuff on his back at first but it was still way faster and easier than whatever I was doing before, especially when I got the hang of the weapon technique by the end.
Very handy guide. I have struggled with getting these guys down and intact enough. Having said that, it is fun to fight them.
I have been WAITINGGGG for this installment lol even with end game gear on new game plus fireclaws are absolute units
They certainly are! I hope this helped! =D
Sorry late on this video it's the notifications buddy, absolutely banging video, love your work and 7k subs cmon 10k in no time, fire video buddy as always much respect from the UK 🔥💯👍🇬🇧😁
No worries! And thanks 😁 Yeah I think 10k should come well before 2023! Only possible because of the support of wonderful community members like yourself Football Asylum 😊🤜🤛🙏 Thanks!
Your videos are superb and very helpful to many of us. You have a new subscriber 👍
Thank you! Glad you're enjoying my content 😄 And thanks for your sub!
Thank you, i've been having issues grinding fire laws lol this helps
No problem! Glad you found this helpful 😄
Thanks for this video, farming sac webbing for gear upgrades is my least favorite thing to do in the game I love the most.
You absolute legend! This really helped me to take down a fireclaw easy to get the sac webbing. Before I was grinding for ages on a single kill and still not getting the sac webbing. Playing on ultra-hard, used "the tie that binds" rope caster, "the sun scourge" for frost arrows, and "eternal vengeance" bolt blaster. It only took three rounds of tying down, freezing, and blasting to kill the beast, and I forgot to use valor surge on the first two, so maybe it could have been done in two rounds. I'm taking more of a laid back approach by the way, not so much for dodging. I hit and run on this thing. Just to the west of the campfire, there is a pond where you can dive down. Usually the fireclaw loses track of you there and goes back to his business quite fast. You can sometimes get hit if it uses the lava ability under water, but it doesn't happen a lot. Thanks for all the tips man, on this and many other videos. I'm gonna go bag myself a couple more fireclaws.
Thanks a lot very useful!
Finally a fire claw guide, I’ve been suffering with them on ultra hard and I finally have a good method
So satisfying explanation and video , wp
Genius, thank you so much
You're very welcome! I hope it helped! 👍
This channel is underrated af
Keep up the good work champ
Haha thanks darkshadow! Glad you're enjoying my content =D
Excellent. Look forward to trying this technique =)
Thanks! And great! I hope it helps =D
Thank you. That was a quick and in-depth demonstration. It took me a few times but I got him and the Sac Webbing. I didn’t have as much power as you but I got him. I hate this game on ultra hard. 😂
Hey nice work! 👍 Glad you found these tips helpful!
Thank you for this guide,
currently playing on Ultra hard fresh playthough and just took down a fireclaw with this strategy
Nice work! Glad you found this helpful!
Thank you for the tips man. I really appreciate it. even I already defeat the apex fireclaw while me on level 38/39 in hard mode difficulty, still wanna give myself another try to fight this by using ur method
You're very welcome! Glad you found this helpful 😄 I appreciate your comment 🙏
Really appreciate it thank you
You're very welcome! I hope it helped!
Dude I’m so glad I found this channel. All I ever did was try to get back up against some of these machines
Glad to have you here! I hope you found this strategy helpful 😄
Worked like a charm, even on UH. Sac Webbings are such a pain, but not so much now. Thank you again!
Hey that’s to hear Brian! 😄 Thanks!
this helps alot
ty
You are a legend
You are a real gentleman ... Thanks so much... I really thought the elite rope caster is useless but it seems I was using it wrong ...
Thanks Ahmed! Glad you found the tip on the ropecasters helpful! They were confusing to me at first too.
Definitely helped me in grinding sac webbings.
Great! Glad to hear it was helpful 😄
Hope ya channel gets more popular in the future.
I struggle with these Bear Robots. Thx for the video bro!
Great video! Please do the dreadeings next
Thanks! I'll definitely be doing Dreadwings!
Good stuff! I’m reaching WINGS OF TEN mission at end game but will definitely use this tactic with New Game+!
Nice! Yeah I hope it helps in NG+!
I feel like fireclaws are the most difficult machine, so this guide helps a lot, thanks 😊
They are strong but if you only fight them for i will call it fun, than it's easier but if you want the one specific material from then, that is where we step into the annoing teritory. Because you can't destroy the belly you need to look what parts are you hitting what make it a longer fight where you could hit even if you don't want to the belly and it explodes and you need to find another one.
Apex slaughter spines are something else
@@l.i.t.f.4353 Well, depends. On ultra hard they are pretty hard, but on other levels it's okay. Freeze them, legendary bolt blaster, rinse and repeat. The only problem is ultra hard bc they one shot you lol
@@mamoruchiba752 true true, ultra hard is rough
Good to hear! Glad it helped you =D Thanks!
Definitely agree on the site choice. Much nicer having it be alone for sure. By the way the Icebolt Boltblaster makes for another nice purple weapon to inflict Freeze with Sustained Burst, then switch to your damage based Boltblaster & do the same.
Good point! Yeah I don't run two boltblasters myself, but I should give hat a try. Probably more damage dealt by using the frost bolts compared to frost arrows.
You make it look so easy, I’m struggling with my first fireclaw, thanks for the tips hopefully I can take him down next round.
Thanks! Hopefully you found some tips here helpful!
@@ArktixOfficial I’ve been watching quite a few of your videos they are undoubtedly very helpful. Especially to a newbie like me who never played the first game and the last open world game I played was final fantasy 7 like 20 years ago 😂
@@Michelle-ep3mi Good for you taking on the challenge! 👍Glad you're finding my videos helpful 🙂 Take down those Fireclaws
Oh man, I was having *so* much trouble hunting Fireclaws until this. I was using your other favorite go-to, the Ancestor's Return, and it was just *not* working.
The discs kept missing, or hitting trees, or I couldn't maneuver enough to catch them, and I just ended up missing shots (and when they did land, the tear damage almost always blew up the giant blaze canister, losing the webbing).
As always, your guides are a lifesaver.
This channel is gold
Hey thanks Henry! 😄
Thank you very much!
You're welcome! Hope it helped =D
This channel has more effort than any other big channel
Hey thanks! I appreciate that 😄 I do put a lot of work into these videos!
Thanks man. I'm a "shoot it until it dies" kind of player with no strategy... I'll have to try this.
Yeah give it a try! Hope it helps!
Glad your channel is getting more subs and views. You 100% deserve it man. Another quick question please; does critical damage affect elemental status build up and tear?
Thanks Emeka! And no, critical damage only increases the strength of a critical hit. Critical hits are only possible for impact damage, so a critical damage coil will only increase impact damage, specifically impact damage dealt with a critical hit. I hope that makes sense.
Awesome advice. Even after watching the video I couldn't seem to immobilize the beast. The thing I missed was the sliding-tie-down. That really makes a difference. Also you don't want to miss the opportunity to stab him when he's knocked over. Once I got him pretty destroyed, even though my second pass was a flop with tie downs while he was dancing around, I was able to use drill spikes and position myself behind some foliage and get him close to the end, then polish him off with frost and impact.
Awesome! Good work 👍 Glad you found this helpful!
Ah, fireclaws. Of the big enemies of the game, they feel the fairest in terms of bulk, power, and hit boxes. No weirdly delayed hitboxes, no weirdly short health bars, no running around and sniping you with roll-catching ranged attacks before running underground for invulnerable moments. Just a straight up brawl.
Bro you helped me so much
Awesome! Glad you found this helpful 😄
Works very well! Another thing that works is Drill Spikes to its legs (I even think you mentioned it). Knocks him down in no time.
Awesome! And yup, I discussed the drill spike knockdown strat as well. I like that too!
I got my first kill thanks to this guide so that's groovy :)
Other than that my main problem right now is getting the ropes to attach. Just now I spent eighteen ropes without tying the fireclaw down so I'm definitely doing something wrong.
Nice! Good work 👍 With the ropecaster, are you drawing it a least partially? If you tap fire it and it hits an armor plate it won’t attach. Also, sometimes when the machine is in the middle of an animation with a lot of movement the ropes won’t attach. Try waiting for it to stop moving so much before firing. Hope that helps!
Hey Arktix thanks sooo much for this!! I’m late on playing the game but I was stupid and did a first ply through on UH. But this method work great on that difficulty I found. If I could add something to your method, I found myself being low on weapon stamina when I had tied down and frozen the fireclaw late in the fight. I found that freezing him (without tying him down) and throwing drill spikes into his legs is great for getting Crits (which recharges your valor very quickly) and of course does double damage WHILE triggering a knockdown on him! Helped me kill him with three rounds of this added into your method. Thanks again!!! Really was hurting for that sac webbing lol
Hey glad you found this helpful! Nice work doing a first playthrough on UH 👍 That’s the ultimate challenge! And nice start with the drill spikes too!
@@ArktixOfficial thanks!! And never would’ve even come across the drill spikes if I hadn’t watched this. They’re dang near a cheat code lol
This is a similar but different way of taking down these bad boys that I use. I tend to use advanced shock arrows on the Sun Scourge to shock him place then use the delta sharp shot to start taking canisters off of him. When he starts to get up quickly spam a smoke bomb then hit him again with shock arrows to start tearing the canisters that are further up his back between his shoulders. Rinse and repeat until he's down , never forgetting the smoke bombs. It's not an efficient way of doing it but it's fun. I might try your method as I continue my NG+.
Nice! Sounds like you have a good strategy 👍 Hope you enjoy NG+ if you give it a go!
👌 I subscribed after watching this one video. BTW first time I fought this fireclaw it fell over and got stuck between two trees and I killed it with my spear. It literally just lay there forever. Super lucky. 👌
Awesome! Thanks a lot for your sub! And lol that's funny. I have noticed the Fireclaws will glitch out sometimes. There's something weird going on with them and the knockdown mechanic. Sometimes you can make them stay down forever. Anyway, yeah that was lucky!
Best guide video that I needed. Fireclaws are my cryptonite. While traversing through map, if I encounter fireclaw, just a big NOPE appears in front of my eyes.
Amazing walkthrough. I downed him on my first try using this technique👍🏼👏🏼
Awesome! Glad to hear that Jorge! 😄
Thanks for the tutorial buddy. I travelled 2000m to thornmarsh, just to get 1 tapped and get sent back 2000m. So I noclipped all the way back. Now watch when I catch him outside again xD
In the spot on the map where you start closest to a fire claw has some imposing trees that you can hide behind and shoot at the fire claw. The fire claw will be stuck using only ranged attacks.
very good guide i need to use ropecasters more
