@@tysonvandertuin8785 You could get the armor before the final boss with hades. I’m pretty sure you need 3,5, or 6 power cells to get it, and you can get all of them before the final boss. The mission before the final boss allows you to get one of the power cells though. I really liked the armor, and I agree with you to an extent, but the developers most likely didn’t think that the armor fit the direct they wanted to take with Forbidden West, as it wouldn’t (at least in my opinion) really merge well with the other mechanics for armor that they put in place.
@@jackshapiro4668 The 5th and last power cell you could only get during the quest directly before the hades fight quest, I thought it was a fun thing to have if you spent time exploring, I dont think it would be good to have it at the start of the sequel, but it definitely would have been cool to get really late game like in the first game.
@@tysonvandertuin8785 Actually there was a glitch where you could use the exit door to go inside the dungeon with the final power cell, thus getting the armor pretty early on. Not sure if they fixed the glitch by now. But I could still do it a couple years ago.
One thing to note is that the Oseram Artificer armor got slightly nerfed in the latest patch, it now caps out at a melee defense of 55 instead of 65, putting it in line with the other Legendary armors.
Nora thunder warrior legendary armour And very rare spike thrower with advanced spikes upgraded 5 times Powershots valor surge Basically either 1 shot or 2 short almost all machine And for huge class machines you kill em in about 3-4 shots
Well thank you for showing me most powerful armor because the contracts first guy was getting on my nerves kept asking for parts. Anyway Now I know it’s worth it I’ll do all them for some good armor
They all start by asking for two or three things then they ask for at least one additional thing. The annoying thing is occasionally they're asking for things that are reasonably close so if you had all the potential asks right away you could schedule your actions more efficiently. That said, it's nice that some of the best armor in the game isn't completely closed to you until the Endgame.
@@BHRamsay that’s right!! Something i hate in videogames is that they give you the best gear in the end and we almost cant enjoy them properly, they could be available at kinda in themiddle of the game but like this one you must complete a long/hard task in order to get it, so that big sacrifice can be worth it
I wouldn't say it's the best for all playstyles, if you forgo melee and go heavy ranged/stealth there are better armors. It is however the best melee armor and the 1st or 2nd best in most other areas so if you're not about min maxing to the extreme then it's definitely the one to go for.
yeah, i think for the majority of players the first in the arena rewards is better because it gives awesome perks to concentration and it’s really easy to get
@@valeriomastroeni8454 yeah Nora thunder armour is basically the oseram one but instead of melee defence you get ranged defence and concentration skills. With my play style which is not running in and melee everyone and stepping back to shoot everyone, this armour is much better for me.
@@valeriomastroeni8454 It was either the legendary bow for 80 medals or the Armor. I went with the Armor. I wish I had that bow though. It's difficult to get
@@Kingtoby1981 i just turned down the difficulty for the arena after it bugging out and not completing the round and eating my shards 3 times i just blew threw on low difficulty you dont get any less rewards
in regards to the survivor tree u dont need to purchase all 8 nodes around the valour skill especially the 2 skills either side, u can unlock it with a minimum of 5 nodes, the 3 that link into the middle and the 2 connecting ones
Shield weaver in HFW is far from overpowered. It's handy... that's about it. The original shield weaver, pre-nerf was OP. Post nerf was strong and deserving of end-game play. This new thing is... just useful. As evidence, consider this: The OG armor withstood a Hella nerf, and was still the best armor in the game by a large margin. This new ability would become insta-trash with the smallest of nerfs. Artificer is decent, and pretty good when maxed out. Combined with the sw ability, you just might survive the alpha spino.. I mean apex. Lol.
This armor does even look that good. For style thats gotta go to the Carja Blazon set. Arguably the most stylish armor set in the game. Carja always have the best stuff.👌
You have to find a painter (there is one in the utaru tribe town) and it's just paying some shards to equipt the chosen one that youve unlocked. Seems different missions or achievements unlock them for you
@@eden20111 Agreed! I'm not looking for the proverbial "sexy armor", just something more sleek like a few of the Carja armors. I miss Shield Weaver and more futuristic options also.
How I understand it apex mashines have a chance to spawn at any of the mashines locations (in you're case storm bird locations) so yea just travel back and forth to one good location till its an apex one
Apex machines also seem to have a way higher chance of spawning at night. So maybe find a good shelter nearby the storm bird spot and progress time to night over and over
Go wherever you can find a stormbird. Find a shelter, advance time until night. By the time you come across a stormbird in the game, they are Apex at night. (Same with anything that doesn’t have a dedicated Apex location)
Thank goodness I learned this. This armor sucks! Compared to shield weaver from the first game. I'm not gonna waste time and effort for this. The first game had 2 incredible, and the other one being the Banuk healing armor. Switching between them.. I feel unstoppable. The shield weaver is so much better than forbidden west armors.
Put the game on Story mode; just max out the easiest settings in this game through accessibility; go to the arena; beat all of the challenges in the arena; go buy Nora Thunder Elite Amour. You're welcome! No sweat!
Thanks for the info. I followed your steps but unfortunately it turns out "This outfit can only be found if the Regalla, deluxe or Collector's Edition of the game is purchased" Sadly I only have the standard edition so had to settle for the standard Nora thunder warrior outfit. Your guide was still very useful in helping me complete the arena challenges.
Hey man I’m on very hard and i want to be able to do the stealth takedowns to take down an outpost. But it leaves them with an inch of health. What do i do? How do i make my stealth stronger, is there a coil which improves stealth attacks?
Part of a sidequest called the Deep something. You can get it pretty early from Camp Nowhere or the Carja Camp. Need the diving mask thing for it, though, as there a lot of swimming.
This actually shouldn't be a "secret" ... considering it's a reward you get after you clear those missions. Now if you was hunting it down like you would those God of war easter eggs in forbidden west that's another story.
It's really weird that given that it's an ultimate suit of armor made out of four other suits of armor that it has such a small amount of actual body coverage. I mean bare shoulders and midriff after you've combined all four suits together? It doesn't even have an awesome helmet. You're telling me after all of that you just make one ridiculously heavy skirt, a vest, some opera gloves and a bandana?
Bro.. She picks up a half broke energy shield to use as a glider. Fights people with fully functional ones, kills them, never trades up. She has tattoos that magically appear and disappear and change with Tanakth armor... There's not a lot of sense in this game,
Haven't played this game yet since I want the PC version, but can someone compare Shield Weaver in ZD against its FW counterpart? And for those who play ZD and says you can't get the Shield Weaver early in the game, well you can actually, if you're a fan of glitching.
Overshield is not the same as Shield Weaver in ZD. With Overshield, it depletes over time and once when it’s fully depleted, you have to wait a while for it to recharge. Shield Weaver is better than Overshield simply because Shield Weaver will instantly recharge after taking a hit.
Damn do you still have any saved games left you can load? The game makes a bunch of auto saves you can reload to before you completed the last objective.
Why did they make skimpy armor in this game they surprised me by not sexualizing her in the first game but now they pull this or am I simply not paying attention if so sorry
That elusive fanghorn was a bitch the 1st time I found him!!! I wasn't on a mount and he seen me an ran. Literally took me at least 15 mins to get his ass

Yeah Nora Thunder Warrior stats and skills are incredible
Where to get this pls?

The legendary tenakth armour actually has generally higher stats overall making it the best armour in the game.

This is what I was looking for thanks for posting this
Be really cool if we get some far zenith looking armor
Agreed. Finding most the armors ugly as my alarm clock so far.
Hopefully in the DLC! It would be kind of odd to see Aloy in tight fit clothing. I can see Aloy being completely repulsed by that 😂😂
@@eden20111 Agreed! I'm not looking for the proverbial "sexy armor", just something more sleek like a few of the Carja armors. I miss Shield Weaver and more futuristic options also.
I'm sad that we can't have the armor that the zeniths have.
That would have been badass.
i hate that armor. that guy skills like the prototype guy
Same i hope they add something like that in new game plus. As a reward for beating game on ultra hard or something. The armor on this game are average
Behemoth Elite is the best looking and always my cosmetic regardless of what I'm actually wearing
I prefer the arena exchanged legendary armor as i only use bows
I got the oseram armor but when I get around to the arena, I will get the nora hunter, as I play with stealth/bow most of the time also.
Yup. Nora thunder warrior is the best set for me
For the summer set on level 4 does anybody know where I could find an apex stormbird heart I have looked across the entire map and I cannot find one

He's using the oseram artificer armour

Not as fun as HZD. I'm 50 hours in and still finding things to complain about. Easily a downgrade from the original... unless you prefer melee.

Look what they did with my man...
Nora thunder warrior is better for me 🤷
I can’t find the 4 contract
I don't think there is one best armor in the game. It depends on your play style.
Dang man some of these are annoying I can obviously beat it cause I have so far good weapons just gotta find a better bow tho
You can change the difficulty and clear arenas for good bows
Definitely not the “best” armor based on play styles honestly. I do like how you said arguably the best
Do you say simple to complete. i’m stock in one contact for weeks. or ready. the game is fu… with me
This is not the best armor in the game
It's the ugliest armor for sure!!! I hate that it took all these damn quests to get it... Sheesh!!!
Which one then ,.
Edit: oh 2 years lol.
This is not the best armor in the game, because you can’t effectively kill large apex monsters doing melee. End of story.
