1:21:27 My main outfit is the Shield-Weaver. But for stealth I switch to my Nora Silent Hunter Heavy. It has two coils, a +13% and a +12% stealth. Stealth is the only way to achieve certain Hunting Lodge trials.
Yeah its this point where the story gets really interesting in HZD. It gets even better, I've seen quite a number of players cry by the end of the game. Tips for you now: 1) Your main issue is resources, if you go to a cauldron and you have no resources you will not be able to fast travel out and you will be reduced to using your spear. So I recommend you stock up on Shards and Wire by killing Grazers at the Nora Hunting Grounds. You are using alot of Precision Arrows, it needs Wire. 2) You like using Tearblast, you can get these by killing Longlegs (the ostrich machines). Look for them on your map. Longlegs also give alot of Wire and Echo shells. Just note Tearblast does almost no damage, its main role is to blast off armour plates + weapons from machines. A few of these weapons can be used by Aloy. Two more uses: these are extremely effective against Shell-Walkers and clustered groups of humans. 3) Really recommend you try to get the Tinker skill (to be able to remove/add mods to your weapons, armour) and then later Triple Shot (to shoot 3 arrows at once) 4) All the armour you have now is fine. The issue is they don't really make a difference cos they are relatively weak and you don't have the Tinker skill to mod them freely. Once you put a mod its stuck and you can only replace them, not move them out. 5) Now you can shoot 2 arrows at once. Tap R2 while aiming. 6) Now you can lure enemies/ machines to you so you can stealth kill them. Its the "exclamation mark" option in your quick menu. 7) You haven't tried it, you should really jump while aiming. Time will slow down and make it easier for you to aim and catch your breath in a fight. 8) There is a YT channel called Akrtix, he does video strategies for each machine in HZD. You might want to check a few of them. 9) Deathbringers, Corruptors are weak to fire and have a temperature gauge. When they overheat, their heat sinks come out (the glowing yellow parts) and you shoot those. So you need to use Fire Arrows against them, then switch to Precision/ Hardpoint arrows. 10) Alternatively, as with all machines, you can use Electric Sling Bombs/ Arrows against Deathbringers to stun them but I think you don't have these.
Oh thank you! I screen shoot everything to take my time reading… haven’t been to the cauldron yet, the main story was too interesting to follow but you are right.. I didn’t consider that I could have been stuck there with my… stick 🫣🤭 I’ll check all the other tips in details too, thank you so much 🥰🥰🥰

Oh yes thank you! I’ll check both out see what I have. I liked the stealth one too, makes easier during hunting or sneaking around…
