[Combat on a Mount!] How hard (fun) Horizon Zero Dawn's Ultra Hard really is (Part 110)

[@aloyversus409]

0:11 Aloy preloading arrows like Forbidden West the night before it releases, LOL.

[@MusicToYourComputer]

Mounted battles are so tricky to manoeuvre! Just shows off your skill that you decide to fight a scorcher- where you always have to be on your toes! Awesome video as always!!!

[@aloyversus409]

So tricky, right?! Appreciate the kind words, man, always. 🙏

[@gijsbrecht1000]

I'm always amazed about how good you really are at this game.

[@aloyversus409]

Thank you! :D

[@Diverdjent]

Awesome as always. 🏹✨

[@aloyversus409]

Thank ya!

[@sophia.a8314]

Nice! You know, Aloy can perform Dismount Strike on a Frostclaw (with blue/yellow eyes, or in prone state), which is really fun and cool! Maybe you can have a go, and give that big boy a nice kill!😃 Btw, Dismount Strike can be up to 550+ damage (with Sylence’s lance, and good modifications), quite impressive.

[@sophia.a8314]

550+ damage in UH of course

[@aloyversus409]

I actually didn't know that, so thanks for the heads-up! Next Frostclaw I see, I'll be sure to give it a good whack for you! 😁🏹

[@mookyyzed2216]

I am impressed.... Never leaving that mount while fighting a Scorcher, and taking a shot from it! Maybe a Fireclaw next 😃😉?

I wouldn't dare, LOL. 🔥🐻🚫

@@aloyversus409 Hey man, I appreciate that! I'm doing great. In the middle of replaying the Tomb Raider games on the 5 right now. And counting down the days until Aloy starts kicking some new ass 😃👍 How you've been man?

[@aloyversus409]

That's great to hear! I played a demo for Shadow of the Tomb Raider and really enjoyed it. And yeah, we are rushing towards mid-February. Wonder if there'll be any new footage at the State of Play next week. 🤞 I been good, too. Got my eyes set on CoD Vanguard and Forza Horizon 5 next month. Those will keep me more than busy until we see just how badass Aloy has gotten since ZD. So close! 😃🎮🏹

[@mookyyzed2216]

@@aloyversus409 I really hope we get some new footage. That would be a nice little early Christmas present. I haven't tried any of the CoD games yet. I might just have to dip my toe into that pond. After all, my wife has been asking about gift ideas. I'm nearly done with Shadow of the Tomb Raider and nephew has been trying to get me to start Jedi Fallen Order, so I think that's never in line. Just so many games and so little time 😫

[@saurophaganax_0]

I really hope they keep this mounting combat mechanics on the next game, hopefully add some spear movements

[@aloyversus409]

Well, they certainly worked on spear combat against humans, so I wonder if they did the same for mounted. 🤔

[@antonvanoppen]

When Forbidden west comes out will you be posting some game clips or you going to wait until you get access to ultra hard mode?

[@aloyversus409]

I'm guessing UH will be part of release, but either way, the same combat clips at whatever the highest difficulty is. Gonna have to come up with a new title for the series, tho. :)

[@norbucso]

Man I hated Scorchers. With that 1 mile leap what they usually do. Took a while to learn how to not die in the Frozen Wilds. First time I felt in the game how hard ultra hard was. 😊😂

[@aloyversus409]

Same! I remember being surprised for a while by how fast Scorchers turned out to be. But they're awesome and I hope they return somehow in the sequel. 🔥 🦊

[@norbucso]

@@aloyversus409 Hope guerrilla games keep the old recipe for success. Keep the good and top it with a little more extra. So they have power for a 3rd game. ❤ Those challenges or proving grounds with the frost claws on ultra hard. Now those were a true challenge for me. 😅😅😅

Well done. Saw that Thunderjaw fight a while ago and I thought I'd check in - good to see you keeping at it with the neat stuff. The hit detection in this game has always been shit but I'm not putting it down anytime soon either (reticle-less fighting feels a lot better). I re-started my Ultra run a little while ago thanks to you xD

[@aloyversus409]

Thank you! The stuff is only going to get neater when Forbidden West releases, too. Can't wait! Have fun with that no reticle, UH run, too. :P

How do you get the bow to fire three arrows at once? I think I've got the same bow, but it only fires one shot.

[@aloyversus409]

It's an unlockable skill from her combat tree; double and triple shot arrows. Just hit L1 to add more. Adept Banuk Striker bow, so I just added an extra handling mod so she's lightning fast nocking arrows.

Compass, objective markers, enemy awareness icons, enemy health bar (disabled in UH), enemy status effects, damage numbers, reticule, health and medicine bar, stealth symbol, weapons and ammo, and everything in Player Misc are Always Off.

@@aloyversus409 hey I know this is late but which armour would you recommend overall ?

[@aloyversus409]

It's not the best looking, but the Nora Survivor is the best in terms of defense. IIRC, at base, it's got protection against all the elements so no need to equip an extra mod for freeze or shock damage.

[@Young_Ruckus]

Wait so on PS5 even w the patch, grass, flowers, and bushes dont have any physics that came w the PC version ? Lame.

[@aloyversus409]

Nah, the 60fps update was more than enough. Don't really care for grass physics myself.
