*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.
I'll try to keep this comment vague: there's a little bit more lore in those ruins....
@@RhiannonNeale I was WONDERING how long it would take someone, given that was an explicit "allowable" example :D
@@Vedexent_ I really do usually try to let people experience games in their own way, bc I also hate spoilers, but I also love this game so much and want people to get all the mysterious info, especially at the start!
I'm really grumpy now. I have maybe 300 hrs of play into Horizon Zero Dawn, and I've not yet found the BlastoMatic 9000, nor seen any streamers find it!
(Joke, for anyone that does not get it. But I'm 100% on not giving spoilers for games like this which is story-rich in parts. It would be like talking about Luke's father in that space movie.)
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. 🙏💚
Something I noticed in the first video and this one as well was that you were firing the bow as quickly as possible. But a bow needs to be fully drawn to get the full potential of it's damage. Try to take the time to hit a few devastating shots vs. a bunch of annoying pinpricks.
Loved the episode! Can't wait for the next one!
"I'm definately feeling braver ... and that's probably a bad thing" - Nah, Aloy is pretty badass. I'd say once you get comfortable with melee combat + dodging, and praticed scanning and evaluating enemes, you'll be a formiddable fighter, and know when not to get in over your head :)
I always love watching new players go from "hmm, 3 watchers, let's approach stealthily" to "oh, just a few watchers, that's gonna take 2 seconds. Then I wanna fight the TJ over there"
I also really like the side quests, in them we delve deeper into the world to the point of understanding people and how they live, while the main line of missions tells the story of the world itself and how everything is linked to Aloy's destiny.
As I said, HZD's side quests are very good, and Forbidden West's are even more engaging. I’m sure you will enjoy play the second game as well. 😃✌️
I hope you're feeling better. This was another great episode. I enjoyed how you handled the scrapper encounter when recovering the spear. You took out the enemies carefully and with precision, all while avoiding a direct confrontation. Excellent job. Can't wait to see more.
wishing a speedy recovery! Although the cosplay was very good, I can't unsee the resemblance between you and Aloy... I love this game, hope you get to love it too!
Agree. The Cosplay and likeness in Ep 1 was amazing.
There was a prompt about how to use your bow I think you missed - it was given to you when you made your first kill of a Strider as young Aloy, in the first video. I'll repeat the content below after a few blank lines, so you can choose whether or not to read it.
First prompt said "Use to aim your bow." Obviously you got this OK!
Second prompt said "Use while aiming to draw the bow. At full draw your bow is a lot more accurate." Makes precise aiming easier, too...
I love this game, great story, dialogue, and graphics. Have Fun 💖🌹👌👍
You're a badass Liera, throw caution to the wind and fight. You always start off every game like a scared rabbit, or should I say overcautious? Be the red maned lioness that stalks the wilds. Oh yeah, save a lot just in case your caution is valid, and your fears come true. lol
Love the pep talk 😁
Love the sharp shot now. It’s basically a sniper.
Without wanting to spoil anything, you might want to explore the ruins again :) l appreciate your streams btw, keep it up.
That first scrapper encounter wrecked me on my first play through! The enemies get pretty tough on high difficulties.
Glad you are feeling better 🎉
SPOILER FREE
Enemies are repawn.
Anything with yellow is a place to grab or bungee.
Free shop items are for free.
Aloy our warrior
Just started watching this one, as of this comment. As you've probably gleaned (gleened?), this Playlist is my introduction to your channel. Anyway, I usually have multiple comments per video because I comment as I watch so I don't forget. Also, seeing you in your natural state, I think you could've pull the cosplay without the wig. Granted, your head isn't on fire like Aloy's, but your hair is red enough, I think.
Good luck.
Sorry to hear you weren't feeling well and sending you well wishes. On a game note: The differences in the Remaster to the Original are mostly positive except the Remaster toned down the redness of Aloy's hair. I liked her brighter red hair a lot better and wonder why they felt a need to do that.
Don't feel bad about the raccoon when you fast traveled for Grata's beads. It was coming right for you and you had to defend yourself.
Let’s gooo!! 🎊 🎉🥳 u still beautiful without the cosplay Miss Liera! 🫶😉🥰❤️
Gute Besserung, young lady. Always interesting and funny to see your first steps in a new game, a new world. Bezaubernd. I am blind as a bat. Me too, more than 1000 times in so many LP´s - so what? Ich hoffe, dir geht es schon besser und schöne Folge. LG
You might recall Aloy awam during the training montage
You can analyse machines and their weaknesses using your focus. Also you hunt animals to craft larger carry capacity pouches.
I think it's oddly convenient that the only grass she can hide in is the same color as her hair. All she as to do is crouch and stare at the ground and the top of her head will blend right in.
Great sharing 😊😊😊
Big like
Second part lets gooooooo!!!
Try to remember to stop and look completely around (up and down too) with the focus from time to time to spot loot which you can't see with the naked eye. This is tedious outside so you might not want to do it as often, but at least do it when indoors where you want to clean everything out.
Although the game never explained why Odd Grata is an outcast, there's a fan theory about it. Unfortunately, the fan theory does include lore spoilers you haven't reached yet, so I'll have to remember to bring it up when you get to that point in the story.
Looking forward to seeing if it's the same theory i have, i looked for evidence online. Didn't find anything cannon but did discover others had the same thought.. 🤔
Oooh, I'm excited.
Oh my God! Reading your, properly vague, comment got me to make that connection! Assuming that I'm right about what the theory is. I'll Google my own theory later for possible confirmation, but it definitely makes sense.
I'll try to keep an eye out for your comment when she reaches *that* part of the game, because I have no desire to come even close to ruining this masterpiece for this RUclipsr.
Sharpshot is recommended for sniping
I've played this game multiple times and never saw the ladder on the right to approach the scraper with the spear. I always got discovered and had to fight my way through to get the spear. I always thought it was weird that it was not possible to do it stealthy. I feel so stupid now.
I see you mastered the stealth kill. But you may want to train open combat now, because you wont be able to get through the game only with stealth, and open combat has a bit of a learning curve. It is also much more satisfying and where the game really shines.
Спасибо! Больше смотрели на тебя, чем на игру😊
You also need to kill animals and fish to be able to upgrade your pouch and quiver.
Aloy did say the quick way required strong arms, that implies there's an easier way up that Odd Grata uses.. 🤔
Hope you feel better.
Thank you!
feel you, i just got over 3 weeks of bronchitis
Sheesh! Glad you feel better after so long!
Right now, you're heading back to Grata and got attacked by the Strider. Not sure if you realize yet, but you need to use your spear more. Just a thought and my last one.
its been awhile since i played this but i think you can see/scan boars etc with your headgear. Edit. Guess you found out yourself😅.
I´m not gonna spoiler ill give you a Tip or 2 maybe First the eye under the radar-bar is It open they see you close the do not, the second you can mark every thing Animals , Humans and Maschines
If you have multiple upgrades do them all especially your pouches.
One advice: Take your time
Fully upgrade all those purple colored weapons and armor.
The problem with rapid camera movement for me is that it is unexpected. For you, the movement is expected because you decide to move the camera, and then you move it. We are trying to catch up because we do not know your intention before we see the movement.
Anyway... I just need to get to used to it.
Have you Thot about playing the sequel? Horizon II The Forbidden West, it has a neat traversal mechanic that you will love. There is a third part, coming out in few years yet. Title unknown: Horizon III ????
Oh totally, I'll definitely check it out when I get there.
Edit: I was wrong :( they implemented that in HFW
Have to wait till you can buy the purple pack which makes it unlimited
Pretty sure that's a refinement they added in Forbidden West. I just checked the Remaster - there's no "fast travel" option at fires that I can see. Pity they didnt put that in the remaster as well, as It IS a better system.
@Vedexent_ I'm not too sure, it's been a very long time since I've played it but the remaster has added a whole bunch of stuff from HFW into the old one
Edit: I just checked when she looked at a bonfire, but it didn't come up, so I might have been wrong and that it was only part in HFW
You can usually loot enough fast travel packs in the mid and late game. There is a golden fast travel pack available from certain traders too. 32:50 Lure call with silent strike is really effective in so many situations (but don't underestimate melee and other weapons). You can make distraction noises in Deus Ex as well :)
Spoilers
You will need to kill all animals to upgrade your quivers with skins bones and shards. YOU NEED TO DO THIS or suffer at the hands of the greater machines you will encounter. You will need machine hearts and lens to buy the better weapons & armors, (purple colored icons). Try to keep all the lens and hearts until yo
❤😍❤️
Does she know she can draw the bow back and hold it for more damage?
I actually cut out a bunch of those moments because I was just running around hunting boar haha
Yes you had ammunition, But i don't think you read all of the pop up..🤔
I'll give it another look!
@LieraPlays It's minor thing, But it is a quality of life improvement, over going to the inventory screen in mid combat..
@@LieraPlaysThe tooltip that pops up about ammo. Says " To craft ammo, select the ammo from the from the weapon wheel with F key, and using 🖱, then use R🖱 to quick craft" You don't need to go into the inventory menu in the middle of a fight to craft ammo for your equipped weapons.. Quality of life feature.. 👍

Did try to explain more fully since I've just caught up with P3. But my comments don't show up for me. Hopefully you can see it. Am enjoying your horizon journey 👍 thank you for sharing..
You don't need the cosplay.
Seriously you don't need to kill every single machine you see, many times you can just sneak past them or just run past them.
