Taking on two Thunderjaws in HZD. In Ultra Hard, weapon damage is lower, machines are more aggressive (as evidenced here), and merchants charge more for resources.

[@alfredogonzalez2857]

I like that the ultra hard mode makes the machines more aggressive, so the game is more challenging. It's not like a lot of games that the only thing that makes something "hard" it's that every attack received is a instakill. For them, the fact that an attack takes off all you hp is hard.

[@vercing1324]

Hello! I love the Ultra Hard too. In the beggining was hard to play... but when i get better in the game i realized that Ultra Hard is the "Realistic" mode. Imagine to this people, living with all that metal monsters! People, including aloy, can easly die for a group od watchers, but in normal and easy mode even a thousand watchers is nothing!

[@meurer13daniel]

I like difficulties were the player takes less damage to die, but so do the enemies. Combine that with more agressive AI and you have a pretty much "perfect" difficulty balance. If I'm not mistaken the Metro series do this. I hate when enemies do more damage but take 3x to kill.

[@gabriellee1987]

@@meurer13daniel Indeed, that type of difficulty really hurts our fingers.

[@danielstatler954]

Yes this. For example the laser guided very low orbital strike attack moves much faster than on normal difficulty. It's not impossible, it's just tighter. Also it seems it's less effective to blast off parts?

[@ShizuruNakatsu]

@@kathleenbecker2649 Regardless of difficulty, I get scared easily. I have a fear of dying even in games, so I sit, wait, prepare, and panic, before starting any big fight, overthinking everything. I run away constantly, and try to kill everything from a safe distance. I've never once tried to fight a Fireclaw up close, I snipe them, let them run back to their spawn point, and repeat this until they die, because I'm scared. If they run for me, I'm out of there. So I'm very concerned about how I'm going to beat New Game+, especially knowing there's some scripted fights, like the Daemonic Thunderjaw. Oh that reminds me, if I have allies in the battle, I almost always hide and let them take all the damage.

[@kathleenbecker2649]

Diana Cavendish I totally get that. Whenever I can, I try to avoid a direct fight and just shoot them with my bow. Like that one mission where you have to fight the two corrupters in that excavation site, I just shot at them from the top, hid behind a wall, and waited for them to go back to their spawn point.

A quick tip for everyone killing a thunderjaw: just shoot the weapons on its back and theyll fall off. Then grab them, and fire with them. The thunderjaw will loose half of his health with just one weapon, and you have two. So, he's a very easy enemie to kill this way.

[@Ritermann]

I feel a rush of fear running down my back every time he shoots at ANOTHER one while fighting the first one O.o

[@HMan2828]

It's a pretty good tactic if it works, you can position them to shoot at each other, I've even seen them lose agro on me after a bunch of rolls into a bush in stealth gear, and keep fighting each other afterwards because they accidentally damaged each other...

[@zachzach5708]

The constant rolling gives me a Dark Souls feel. On normal mode you don't really get the "oh shit" moment.

[@aloyversus409]

Is that a good thing? (I've never played Dark Souls before). The "oh, shit" moments really kick up when he gets to spinning with that tail of his. One second too late and Aloy goes a-flying.

[@zachzach5708]

Mr. Apocryphal Yeah, I think it is. Dark Souls is the hardest game I've played, but it's really fun. You can't just run through it. Kind of have to get a feel for each enemy and constantly dodge.

[@aloyversus409]

Aye, I've heard rumors that it's ridiculously hard. Yeah, HZD is definitely like that. Like playing cat-and-mouse with the machines sometimes. So much fun.

[@HoltKezed]

Having played both HZD and all DkS, I find the rolling in Dark Souls not so generous as in HZD, the timing in DkS must be much more precise, but in HZD you get this cat-and-mouse feeling you described, it is awesome!! Anyway, HZD actually gives me The Witcher 3 feel with the focus investigate and all the "study your enemy and prepare" before battle!! I just added a really chaotic battle video on my channel, involving an area with 2 Thunderjaws, 5 Tramplers, Lancehorns and Glinthalks, New Game+ Ultra Hard, of course haha!! it was great!!

[@lightningmonky7674]

[@freedomowologba2900]

Pick up the guns that fall off of it as use those. More powerful than arrows.

[@leovenegas4785]

I'm playing on hard and it's not that hard at all.

[@omegagilgamesh]

I just beat the game last night for the first time, 43 hours, on normal, and not counting bad falls I think I only died two or three times during combat. Then again I was never afraid to run from a bad situation, and I stayed well away from those big guys until I was well stocked on medicine, potions, and appropriate weapons. And I DON'T consider myself a skilled player in any way shape or form; I consider myself a cautious and patient player. If you need help with the Thunderjaw, use the advanced Sharpshot bow's tear arrows on the disk launchers, then use the rope caster to tie him down, grab one of the disk launchers and attack it. Repeat with the second launcher if he still has significant health. For now, Frozen Wild should be done downloading.

[@Jonathan-jg1zp]

Recently started to play this game from my PC. It's really beautiful and amazing. Btw I should say ultra hard difficulty is not hard as I thought but it's more challenging. I used shield weaver and it's not bad even if it's nerfed. I was at lvl.57. Only thing is you have to do more dodges, use the environment to your advantage and use different loadouts according to the enemy.

Ultra hard in this game isn't that difficult if which actually makes it super fun to play (Additional tip: if you've frozen wild dlc, use those weapons. They're more powerful and highly effective in ultra hard game mode)

@@camilosolorzano1983 lol i started on hard mode right away. Story mode machines seem kinda dumb. No reactions no agression they stare at you for like five seconds before charging.
