The Fire Bellowback's body was was strength to fire, only the sac was weak to fire, if you blow it, otherwise fire is not good to use on its body components. Try using the Tear arrow more, to blow components off. It would have been good if you had Frost damage for this particular bellowback, try and diversify your weapons to use elements that work best on machines, and try not to be too timid, go in with purpose. Build confidence, and you'll have a good time taking out machines. Try and use potions as well, like extra health, or extra elemental damage etc.. Always use the right element for the right machine, to stun it. Make sure to hold draw on your bow to get better accuracy. Buff up your damages in the skill system, and use techniques or combos. Good luck.
There's no downside to always crafting the maximum amounts of your various ammo types that you can. There are always more resources to be found. You've also got a bomb sling that has frost and electric bombs that are very useful against several of the machine types you came up against here. Tearblast arrows are also great against Stalkers because they rip off the stealth generator and the dart gun super easily.
There is a small downside to crafting ammo to the limit. If you only have space for one more piece of ammo, it will consume the same amount of resources as a complete batch. Not a problem later in the game when you have way more stuff in your pockets.
@@davejohncole I think the downside is minimal especially when preparing for a big fight. I prefer having full quivers. Resource replacement isn't that much of a problem especially for most of weapons. Tear arrows and a few of the other rare resource ones I would definitely agree. Early on though a full quiver of the normal stuff is important.
14:37 the silent strike & critical strike damage is upgradable in your perk trees so you can do more damage. I highly recommend you put points into these upgrades. If you think the sawtooths are a bad machine you haven’t seen anything yet. 😂😉🤘🏻👏🏻👏🏻 THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for sharing your play through with us. I look forward to your video uploads of HZD!!! Oh, once you put out a trip caster wire on the ground it doesn’t go away till you pick it back up. It’s not on a timer. Be careful!!! You can trip your own wire & damage yourself. At least in the original game this happened. It may have changed in the remaster. FYI. 😉🤘🏻 30:39 I recommend drawing your bow before activating concentration. 😊 The mouse & keyboard are slowing you down. You’re constantly looking down to hit buttons. This will get you killed A LOT later in the game. Fire Bellowbacks are an easy kill & I’m playing video games with one hand.
Fire Bellowbacks are resistant to fire, so your fire arrows were wasted. However, it has a weak spot which will make it explode when hit with a fire arrow, but it is shielded. So a viable alternative strategy would be to stun it (tripwire), scan it to make the part visible, hit the shielding with tear, and then hit the weak spot with a fire arrow. I hope this is not too much backseat driving, but the game has such an deep combat system, and the more it is understood, the more fun it becomes.
Whoever suggested it, thanks for the tip. I've beaten the game on PS4. Currently playing through New Game+ on Ultra Hard and I had no idea, nor would've ever thought of using fire arrows on wildlife.
You are doing great. It is awesome to see houw you grow in confidence in your abilities and slowly come to an understanding of the combat. Love the playthrough!
Liera: You are doing a really good job. It was smart to scan the Bellowback before attacking. Unfortunately, in Zero Dawn, it is not always easy to determine the proper type of element. As a general rule, Fire is vulnerable to Freeze, Freeze to Fire. Electricity generally are either high damage precision or tearblast. When you get to Forbidden West, you will find the game does a better job of highlighting the weakness, and you will have acid added to your elemental ammo types.
Yes, the enemies in this game demand a different approach each, and the game expects the player to select the best weapon for the task. This is different from the usual RPGs, where we chose our favourite weapon and character build and play the whole game with it.
I did get all the data points in the game although the last 10 or so I had to use a guide to help me. I was pleased to learn that if you miss one in a specific location you can always return to find it. This includes specialized story locations and every other area. You are never blocked from any location. I don't remember if it was part of the completion achievement - I played this game on the PS4 when if first came out.
There are random encounters that can happen, well...randomly😊 and you saw one. Wandering bandit partys that prey on all. The caravan might have de-spawned; the game does that to conserve resources sometimes.
And again the video was great fun für me. I love how strategically you planned the attacks on the both sawtooths in the ruin, and that did work out very well. Also seeing you carefully sneaked through the cauldron. I think that would be just the way a real Aloy would do because she wouldn't know what to expect. So just go on and enjoy it.
Don’t worry about caravan, the game has random enemies encounters, it just happened the two collided. But once game reloaded the caravan no longer loaded and random encounter didn’t happen. As for data points, no I never got all data points in a world, too many for me. But don’t worry they don’t count in game completion, I think only all the quests and activities
Bandits attack people randomly, check spear hit attacks you have two, only see you use one. Absolutely loving your playthrough, also keep an eye on crafting options. Great takedown of sawteeth as you called them, also boss fight was exciting to watch regarding which way it would go. Can't wait for more...
Your main problem against the scrappers was that you don't have the right weapons yet. They are easy with the right tool. For the stalker fight, I ended up building a veritable tripwire castle.
It's all down to style :) For me, scrappers are the most fun to melee - you gotta get the rythmn down just right: wait, dogdge, pause, dodge back, heavy spear, dodge away fast, pivot ... :D
yooo nice episode, btw do try overridin' more machines, can be quite fun, also, here's some tips: 1.Diversify yer armament: basically, check out and use new weapons when ya can, almost all are good and worth trying out, a personal favourite of mine is the ropecaster, a thing that can let you bind down machines to the ground with a few ropes, immobilizing them, letting ya set traps or critical hit (not recommended to damage them while tied cuz they will break free faster with damage) or even, if unseen by being at their back for a bit after tying, override the ones ya have unlocked overrides for. 2.Armor up: i don't remember if ya got some but, be sure to have armor with bonuses such as melee/ranged damage resistance when fightin' or elemental resistances for fighting certain elemental attacks, like fire, be sure to modify 'em too. 3.Knowledge is half the battle: be sure to check weaknesses and resistances to prevent stuff like shooting a fire bellowback with fire arrows and instead use ice to make them take more damage in this specific, and most cases. plus, overriding is really good and worth it.
Loving the episode as always. And you said in the video you couldn't shoot the cauldron vents with arrows? You should be able to. (Maybe you still find out. I've got a good 40 more minutes of cauldron to go 🤔😉)
Happy new year! Liebe Liera, ich wünsche dir alles Glück, Liebe, Gesundheit, Zufriedenheit und viel Erfolg in deinem Beruf. Viel Spass mit deinem Kanal und bleib wie du bist - bezaubernd und einzigartig. 1.16.37 too funny, ha. First boss fight und Hut ab, young lady. Du gibst nie auf. Klasse part. LG
Happy New Year. I am greatly enjoying your playthrough. I collected everything on my first playthrough. The data points provide great background on the "metal world".
The caravan was still loaded as you had just finished that side quest and not left the area yet, the humans who got you at the caravan site were a random encounter, a bandit party who happened to occur at that time. when they killed Aloy the game reloads, so when Aloy respawns back into the world, the caravan quest was marked in the game register completed it didn't load the caravan back in, and the random bandits didn't happen that time either, which is why they were gone after the reset..
You have a sling with freeze ammo, which is the fire bellowback's body weakness. It is slow to fire but once the bellowback is frozen the arrows will do much more damage to the big guy.
Good job with the tripcaster, just remember (not a spoiler, 'couse you have them in your inventory already) you have more traps, and potions to lower elemental damage 😊
Happy New Year. When fighting the boss in a cauldron it might be a good idea to kill the watchers first since they are so easy to kill in comparison. For the rest i liked it that you took your time going through the cauldron. I did the same in my first playthrough
I collected all the data-points my first play-through but I loved all the details on the metal world past. I was glad to see you start using more of your weapons. But try to remember the potions and other traps also. 😂(I did see you use healing potions near the end). I like using the tripcaster during a fight if I have the extra time. It can buy you a few rests if you time it right.
I would have to agree with your PSA. Tie off the rope before jumping. Lucky for us, video game logic means you don't have to. But, can you imagine? Aloy jumping off and throwing her rope, only to miss the anchor? A real "OH, SPIT!" moment. I'll admit it would be frustrating but, at the same time, I'd like to see that kind of realism in a game. Just leave it up to the RNG. That way, missing the anchor point would be completely random.
I'm with you, I liked the pickup animation, it never got old for me. Also, I think the original PS4 version didn't have that option iirc. It gave me time to think about my next moves and was relaxing in between all the machine action.
(I don't know how to mark a time in a youtube video, sorry) but at 5:55, your question about collecting all the datapoints as a requirement for 100%, the answer is no - it's not an achievement. But for us diehard obsessive-compulsive completionists: yes, it is. 😆
Another good episode. Vague tip: study your machine catalogue in detail. Scan machines and apply knowledge. Edit: you kinda did it with the stalker Edit: easy to be an expert after playing multiple times... I tend to go for small machines first in cauldrons - they are annoying. If you look at your fight, you could have quickly killed at least two shocked watchers immediately.
If you can manage to shoot the clamps on the Shell Walker without destroying the crate and you grab it before it picks it back up, you can sometimes get some decent loot.
The sharpshooter bow has special penetration damage. Try again using them on longlegs (hit them in the lungs) or bellowbacks (in the weak points). The bow draw time is longer, so perhaps start aiming when they are at medium or long range. In other cases, tear or elemental arrows are better though.
Read the description of your arrows. Diffetent arrows have unique results. Check the damage numbrs listed in your ammo inventory. For example, the hard point arrows (with double triangle shapes) will kill a boar with one hit, ad well as cause more damage to machines then the hunter arrows. You csn also use traps in tandem with your shock wire traps to do much more machine damage.
You should try the Tearblast more often. Might have helped against the Bellowback in the Cauldron. I also recommend setting up traps before the boss fight.
The Caravan Quest was done completely, so they despawn once you leave the Area and/or load a Save. You finished the Sidequest, died and the Game loaded an Autosave from after you finished it and therefore the Caravan was gone. Raiders were just a Coincidence. Also: slight Heads-Up for the Future (no Spoilers) the DLC takes place during the Main Story, not after (but technically you can do it whenever).
Level means next to nothing in this game; you can safely ignore it most of the time. For Aloy, each level means 10 extra HP and 1 new skill point. It doesn't affect damage dealt or damage received in any way. Meaning your bow that does (e.g.) 60 damage will do 60 damage at level 1 or at level 45. I never did figure out how it 'leveled' the enemies, or even the quests - mainly treat it as a relative guideline; a "level 18" enemy is probably going to be more difficult than a "level 8" one. A lot of the ease or difficulty therefore comes down to gear and modifications, and then the ability to control the battleground (either by engaging in unexpected ways where you have the option, or by the creative (or excessive) use of traps and tripwires).
Don't worry. I've been bothering her to play it for like 3 years. If she stops playing she will have me to deal with! (But really, she seems to be loving the game. So I doubt she'll give up. She's invested now. 😉)
Luckily you do not need all data points to 100% it. (I think I'm a couple away from platinum on PS5 I'd have to double check) I don't remember it being an achievement. I only just bought it on PC, and I haven't had the time to go through it all yet on that platform. Luckily PC has mods, and mods to enable achievements while playing with mods. So, if that's what you're looking for, you're covered, heh.

That's true - but please respect she's not a veteran of the game 💝 From time to time the play just remembers me to my very first playthrough - feeling the pain again 😄 Just a few hints for bellow backs to make them more easy to kill... ...in general it is worth to pay more attention to your gear. 1. sharpshot bow You can do much stronger with the sharpshot bow. The "cannisters" on the back and below the throat can explode with impact damage that is strong enough. Use the sharpshot bow technique to "overdraw" the bow - basically wait til drawing is finished (look at the aiming cross) to get 100% damage out of it. Use the right coils (impact damage for this). Look at your skills! There is a possibilty to increase damage by shooting more than one arrow. Concentration is useful but only if you have time to concentrate (not very often within a small arena fight). Look for the "handling" quality of your bow. Better handling makes you quicker for shooting - especially with the sharpshot bow, because it is slow. 2. hunter bow Best to make the enemy burn by spamming fire arrows (like you did). But you need to make this quicker by increasing the fire damage by coils on the bow. The fire coil decreases also the time until he starts burning. Despite your spamming I never saw the bellow back burning. However using the game changer "shock", I saw it really been shocked. In these elementary states the enemy is stunned for a short time. Fight get's much more relaxed. 3. checkout your notebook for the machine type You can make every machine burn. But if the notebook tells you that the machine is strong against fire, it will take longer and more fire arrows to achieve that. Time for burn is shorter. Sometimes it even does not stun the enemy. So look if there are other elementals he might be vulnerable against. The weak spots (yellow after scan) usually are good for impact damage. You can find in the description also special weaknesses against other types of arrows. You saw that for the strider. The fuel cell at his back can be hit with a fire arrow to make it explode. Other robots might have spots for shock etc. But most easy is to use the indicated overall weakness. You can hit him anywhere for the effect. 4. tutorial quests I saw your hesitation to use them for learning weapon techniques. I guess you're right to think about it. Unfortunatelly the handling of this quest type is a little bit awkward. You need to use the exact weapon announced and you have to activate the quest to get the xp. Regarding the bellow back (and other machines) you can use a "bellow back side" shown on your map to get a feeling how to fight this monster. It's not a must to use a tutorial quest - you get enough xp from the kills and higher loot as well. This is not an arena fight. So checkout the environment for "secure places" for the initial attack. take cover or higher ground. Best way to improve your weapon stats and test them without risk. 5. time for aiming Besides concentration there is a more advanced technique to slow down time. However it works only during jumping and sliding. Advantage is that it always works (no cooldown). Disadvantage is that it works only in a short time frame during jump or slide. Just to keep that in mind and find out later. Especially in arena fights I found it more useful than concentration. But it needs some training. Find out yourself (later) if it suits you. Besides pre-requisites it might be more difficult on keyboard and mouse play.
@@eckhardkern6748 Oh I do respect her :) Some people have more trouble with the combat than others, and I'm not fantastic even after putting hundreds of hours into both games. I wish her luck and hope she enjoys the game 🙂

That coming on the heels of Musk's actions against people on x for disagreeing with him...
Yeah, the level of the quests are whack. You could've used the freezing bombs, but that's ok. Easier difficulties are double edged swords, they allow one to "wing it" and not interact with all the mechanics. But in higher difficulties, enemies are so spongy, that it can be very frustrating. Your trap planning was good, could've taken out the watcher's and focus on the big guy. Overall you're doing great, you're a nice shot!

The cauldrons just blew my mind when I first played this game. I was so amazed and surprised I had no words.
I like that Aloy is part mountain goat - it always makes me smile to see her bounding on a high wire or up a cliff.
That's hilarious and she definitely is.
Although her mountain goat ability also really highlights when she runs into an "invisible wall": _Wait! I shold be able to jump up there no problem!_
There's no downside to always crafting the maximum amounts of your various ammo types that you can. There are always more resources to be found. You've also got a bomb sling that has frost and electric bombs that are very useful against several of the machine types you came up against here.

Also seeing you carefully sneaked through the cauldron. I think that would be just the way a real Aloy would do because she wouldn't know what to expect. So just go on and enjoy it.
Don’t worry about caravan, the game has random enemies encounters, it just happened the two collided. But once game reloaded the caravan no longer loaded and random encounter didn’t happen.
As for data points, no I never got all data points in a world, too many for me. But don’t worry they don’t count in game completion, I think only all the quests and activities

I think the slow spear attack has a longer reach?
Your main problem against the scrappers was that you don't have the right weapons yet. They are easy with the right tool.
For the stalker fight, I ended up building a veritable tripwire castle.
It's all down to style :) For me, scrappers are the most fun to melee - you gotta get the rythmn down just right: wait, dogdge, pause, dodge back, heavy spear, dodge away fast, pivot ... :D

1.Diversify yer armament: basically, check out and use new weapons when ya can, almost all are good and worth trying out, a personal favourite of mine is the ropecaster, a thing that can let you bind down machines to the ground with a few ropes, immobilizing them, letting ya set traps or critical hit (not recommended to damage them while tied cuz they will break free faster with damage) or even, if unseen by being at their back for a bit after tying, override the ones ya have unlocked overrides for.
2.Armor up: i don't remember if ya got some but, be sure to have armor with bonuses such as melee/ranged damage resistance when fightin' or elemental resistances for fighting certain elemental attacks, like fire, be sure to modify 'em too.
3.Knowledge is half the battle: be sure to check weaknesses and resistances to prevent stuff like shooting a fire bellowback with fire arrows and instead use ice to make them take more damage in this specific, and most cases. plus, overriding is really good and worth it.
Loving the episode as always. And you said in the video you couldn't shoot the cauldron vents with arrows? You should be able to. (Maybe you still find out. I've got a good 40 more minutes of cauldron to go 🤔😉)
Thank you! No i didn't try shooting them again, but I probably will in the next cauldron if they show up again. It was weird that I couldn't.

I recommend upgrading your pouches so you can carry a lot more medicine and more ammo, focus on those ones at least.
Happy New Year. I am greatly enjoying your playthrough.

I'm with you, I liked the pickup animation, it never got old for me. Also, I think the original PS4 version didn't have that option iirc. It gave me time to think about my next moves and was relaxing in between all the machine action.
So if they give you the override for a Sawtooth this early, you have to wonder what’s still out there that you haven’t run into yet?
Terrifying and exciting thought.
This is your year. Just don´t think - just play. Just have fun. Nothing more counts. We feel and know it. This is it. Love and Fun and more. LG
I collected 100% of the datalogs, but I don't think it's required for 100%ing the game. I just love lore ;)

Also: slight Heads-Up for the Future (no Spoilers) the DLC takes place during the Main Story, not after (but technically you can do it whenever).
i really hope there's a playlist, i had fun playing it
Level means next to nothing in this game; you can safely ignore it most of the time.
For Aloy, each level means 10 extra HP and 1 new skill point. It doesn't affect damage dealt or damage received in any way. Meaning your bow that does (e.g.) 60 damage will do 60 damage at level 1 or at level 45. I never did figure out how it 'leveled' the enemies, or even the quests - mainly treat it as a relative guideline; a "level 18" enemy is probably going to be more difficult than a "level 8" one.
A lot of the ease or difficulty therefore comes down to gear and modifications, and then the ability to control the battleground (either by engaging in unexpected ways where you have the option, or by the creative (or excessive) use of traps and tripwires).
Woohoo, another HZD video. I was afraid you gave up on the game.😁
Don't worry. I've been bothering her to play it for like 3 years. If she stops playing she will have me to deal with!
(But really, she seems to be loving the game. So I doubt she'll give up. She's invested now. 😉)
Luckily you do not need all data points to 100% it. (I think I'm a couple away from platinum on PS5 I'd have to double check) I don't remember it being an achievement. I only just bought it on PC, and I haven't had the time to go through it all yet on that platform.
Luckily PC has mods, and mods to enable achievements while playing with mods. So, if that's what you're looking for, you're covered, heh.

Is Forbidden West next?
Scan people in open world you never know it´s friend or Foe Red is Dead bleu is cool
That's the easiest cauldron in the game btw, lol.
That's true - but please respect she's not a veteran of the game 💝
From time to time the play just remembers me to my very first playthrough - feeling the pain again 😄
Just a few hints for bellow backs to make them more easy to kill...
...in general it is worth to pay more attention to your gear.
1. sharpshot bow
You can do much stronger with the sharpshot bow. The "cannisters" on the back and below the throat can explode with impact damage that is strong enough. Use the sharpshot bow technique to "overdraw" the bow - basically wait til drawing is finished (look at the aiming cross) to get 100% damage out of it. Use the right coils (impact damage for this). Look at your skills! There is a possibilty to increase damage by shooting more than one arrow. Concentration is useful but only if you have time to concentrate (not very often within a small arena fight). Look for the "handling" quality of your bow. Better handling makes you quicker for shooting - especially with the sharpshot bow, because it is slow.
2. hunter bow
Best to make the enemy burn by spamming fire arrows (like you did). But you need to make this quicker by increasing the fire damage by coils on the bow. The fire coil decreases also the time until he starts burning. Despite your spamming I never saw the bellow back burning. However using the game changer "shock", I saw it really been shocked. In these elementary states the enemy is stunned for a short time. Fight get's much more relaxed.
3. checkout your notebook for the machine type
You can make every machine burn. But if the notebook tells you that the machine is strong against fire, it will take longer and more fire arrows to achieve that. Time for burn is shorter. Sometimes it even does not stun the enemy. So look if there are other elementals he might be vulnerable against. The weak spots (yellow after scan) usually are good for impact damage. You can find in the description also special weaknesses against other types of arrows. You saw that for the strider. The fuel cell at his back can be hit with a fire arrow to make it explode. Other robots might have spots for shock etc.
But most easy is to use the indicated overall weakness. You can hit him anywhere for the effect.
4. tutorial quests
I saw your hesitation to use them for learning weapon techniques. I guess you're right to think about it. Unfortunatelly the handling of this quest type is a little bit awkward. You need to use the exact weapon announced and you have to activate the quest to get the xp. Regarding the bellow back (and other machines) you can use a "bellow back side" shown on your map to get a feeling how to fight this monster. It's not a must to use a tutorial quest - you get enough xp from the kills and higher loot as well. This is not an arena fight. So checkout the environment for "secure places" for the initial attack. take cover or higher ground. Best way to improve your weapon stats and test them without risk.
5. time for aiming
Besides concentration there is a more advanced technique to slow down time. However it works only during jumping and sliding. Advantage is that it always works (no cooldown). Disadvantage is that it works only in a short time frame during jump or slide. Just to keep that in mind and find out later. Especially in arena fights I found it more useful than concentration. But it needs some training. Find out yourself (later) if it suits you. Besides pre-requisites it might be more difficult on keyboard and mouse play.
@@eckhardkern6748 Oh I do respect her :) Some people have more trouble with the combat than others, and I'm not fantastic even after putting hundreds of hours into both games. I wish her luck and hope she enjoys the game 🙂
@@BattlestarDamocles Me too, I'm still close to heart attack at the end of the DLC cauldron. 🤣
Just go for your dreams.

The First Amendment note is very prescient given the US federal court, *today,* struck down net neutrality and gave internet providers the right to control who gets access to the internet and at what speed the way they see fit as a private corporate decision, and not as a utility and therefore right of the people equal access to the public space.
That coming on the heels of Musk's actions against people on x for disagreeing with him...
Yeah, the level of the quests are whack. You could've used the freezing bombs, but that's ok. Easier difficulties are double edged swords, they allow one to "wing it" and not interact with all the mechanics. But in higher difficulties, enemies are so spongy, that it can be very frustrating. Your trap planning was good, could've taken out the watcher's and focus on the big guy. Overall you're doing great, you're a nice shot!
Thanks!

I haven't read all the comment. But, I think it must be said. Alwaya scan first. Humans and machines. Especially when you see health bars.
