How to get Shield-Weaver Early - Horizon Zero Dawn

[@ElkjaerTV]

HOW TO GET OUT OF MAKER´S END WITHOUT FAST TRAVEL: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6uYkmN9it92ftE A lot of people seem to have an issue not being able to fast travel out of the tower, so hopefully this will help you.

[@ashtontlr304]

Hey I found a more consistent way instead of walking that far just go to the other side next to the hole and walk back in forth over the hole and you'll get it then much faster I found. Idk if this helps

[@mutasimbashirmm1027]

Everything seems interesting while studying 😂

I could fast travel from the top of the Tower without any Problems. I travelled directly to a campfire near the cave where to armour is hidden.

[@michaeledward1867]

Make sure to change into outcast outfit in order to slip into grave hoard hole and ascend in GAIA prime without ladder, somehow this outfit will make a better chance to success. Also this video should include how to revisit all mother mountain in case you missed the power cell on the first chance after the proving (the main gate is closed after the event). Also need to remind everyone that journey into grave hoard and GAIA prime would be the most dangerous area as we are early accessing area with lot of machines crawled in groups and remember that we are currently at early level (health and weapons), so be sure to prepare some healing potions handy and quick save the game whenever pass by a campfire. Thanks so much for this video guide.

Also one last thing, don't forget to mention that when you are in Carja territory, not to interact with anything... It can brick your playthrough. So when in Carja territory, ONLY focus on getting power cells and then LEAVE territory once power cells are in hand. This is for those who used the exploit to climb around invisible wall to cross the border.

Well, according to canon, Aloy doesn't use the armor as-is but works it into some Nora clothing. The Nora people don't wear helmets as such, so it seems she just tossed it. Besides women don't generally like what helmets do to their hair, and we all know how Aloy is about her hair...

Still works 2022. It was exhilarating. Gg to those who got it. Getting the 4th was hardest tho. Just a headsup to those who are planning on getting it, I dont know how other guys did it.. but for me there was a cut scene where storm bird appeared. Tried to fight it but nope, it one shotted me . U cant do "restart last save" cuz it apparantly autosaves at that cut scene. So if u see it, RUN LIKE HELL, run in zig zags, dodge constantly and run towards the ruins. It goes away at a point. Edit: Just completed the whole game.I played it in hard and lemme tell u this, NEVER died in a combat for the rest of the game thanks to the armor.

Take a close look at the frame around 13:41 where it shows you the target. Then once is starts to work KEEP JUMPING! Otherwise you'll slip back down.

So I watched the walkthrough until the puzzle. It felt so satisfying after hours of traveling and even after five or so minutes of playing with the puzzle, to FINALLY receive this armor, still works as of 02/07/2023. Thanks for everything, great channel!

After about 6 hours, I finally got it!!! It also a very straight-forward tutorial. Well done!

I am so overwhelm and proud that I got this op armor without knowing that this is one of the best and rare out there by exploring every corner of each mission at the very beginning.

Thanks I’m on the last mission but I’m doing side quests to level up because I’m awful at this game but this video was really helpful even though every area is unlocked for me . This is easy to follow and very well explained awesome video you earned a sub

[@antisocialtroglodyte2321]

Can avoid the Stormbird spawn by going to the far left of that climb, there is a snowy slope. Keep to the right edge of that slope next to the rocks. Go as far up as you can then ease toward the east to get into the last area. You can grab the Vantage Point while in the area.

thank you so much i find having the out fit gives you more confidence to go up against more creatures without worrying about your health.

This guide helped me alot. Although its my first time playing, i had a difficulty at first getting to Gaia Prime because of the Stormbird boss and i was playing at Ultra Hard difficulty 😂 still works until today. Thanks bro

Just run through. The KI ist sometimes mir K, than I and loses track as quickly as possible.

[@rambunctant556]

I had this same problem. Taking just one hit from it would kill 😅

[@SpatteL19]

What's the point of playing on "ultra hard" if you still glitching to the best armor in early game? On one side you want to have an "ultra hard" experience but on the other side you use the best armor to make it easier. You should do the first play-through the normal way (maybe just on hard) and with "New Game+" you can have the Shield-Weaver from the beginning.

At Gaia prime I actually found it easier to aim the camera down when jumping up the cliff face. Tried aiming the camera up and failed about 6 times. Aimed it down and did it straight away.

I can confirm that this still work... All of it. For a moment I thought that Grave Hoard entrance has been patched, because I tried that walking and sometimes I end up like on top of an invisible wall above the ground but after trying some more I fell down... I found a lot more that invisible wall (like 6 or 7 times) before I got through. Incredible guide but not fool proof though. When I got to Maker's End and crossed the root with the mount I when left instead of right... I thought it was patched and I was trying like for half an hour to climb up before I realized that I when climbing the wrong wall!! LOL... Just for you to laugh! Thanks for the guide bud. Amazingly detailed and your specific instructions were indispensable.

[@a_lee_xandre]

What did they change?

[@DVZ000]

@@okandis The armors shielding capacity was nerfed in all difficulties except for easy. It could take a ton a punishment before, but now just 1 t-rex hit on hard will break the shield. It used to take 3 average.

[@DJShadesUK]

@@DVZ000 Well the armour must have been *massively* op before then because I just finished a play-through the other day (on normal) and managed to kill a Stormbird using only the lance! Once the SB landed I just stood under it, hitting it with the lance (thus stopping it from taking back off), and if it managed to get any hits in the armour easily had chance to recharge between them anyway. On normal difficulty at least Aloy is still pretty much invincible.

[@cindykyser6367]

This is an awesome guide. I got into the graveyard without issue and finally into Gaia Prime (although the Stormbird was rough!). The cliff took me a dozen or so tries (trick was in the timing of slightly staggering the Shift and W keys) but I got there. Very cool to go through some 'back doors' like this! I now only need the Maker's End Quest (which I had started earlier). Then, on with that armor! Thanks for making a fun game even more fun!

[@Miguel_Parungao]

Any other tips of the cliff thing?

[@cindykyser6367]

I just looked at the video to make sure I was in the exact same position and aiming at the same spot upwards. Also, crouched the whole time. Then, just kept trying. I did have to barely stagger the Shift and W (pressing them at the exact same time did not work). So, it was Shift, then W. It took many tries and then, suddenly, I was in! Good Luck!

[@L.Pondera]

A glitch is inconvenient and can retract from the experience. An exploit is very convenient and often enhances the experience. Getting that armor when it's most useful (when you have no skills or high health) is quite the exploit. Thank you.

Talk about Super OP. 😁

Thank you so much. As of July 2024 this still works (PC). Had a little bit of trouble with getting through the rocks. Took me about 20 minutes of trying with the outcast armor ofcourse. Then at Gaia prime it took some time tries as well. But it did work. The hardest part was having to dodge the plethora of machines that stood between these places. Specially the flying ones.

For GAIA Prime, what did it for me was looking down at my feet and aiming my bow as I jumped. Puts you in slow motion (with skill hunter reflexes) and you jump higher.

Save your game before trying each exploit, in case you get trapped. All three tricks worked perfectly for me on PS4 with HZD Complete Edition. The only problem was that the game did not allow me to fast travel away from Maker's End at the top of the tower, and I could not find any survivable way to ground level while the top elevator door was still closed. Fortunately I was able to load a saved game from before trying the mount-through-the-wall trick.
