Spear Only on Ultra Hard - Horizon Zero Dawn

I completed Horizon Zero Dawn on Ultra Hard difficulty using only the spear. This was a really fun challenge and let to some interesting combat strategies. I am sure this challenge will be a lot more interesting in Horizon Forbidden West when the spear will have a lot of abilities.
I completed The Frozen Wilds on Ultra Hard with only the Spear:

I, too, am adding a comment in hopes that others might see this glorious effort.

[@fl1ckr145]

This is how Aloy would be if she was trained by Geralt 😂

[@madscatt1063]

Great job. Can’t wait to see the new game only run. You have great skills!

[@dexiel2514]

the strat of getting on top of a deathbringer (and dodging while on top of it) its so damn cool like how do people come up with stuff like this? LOL, enjoying the vid so far!

[@callumocallaghan9555]

Aloy must be up there with some of the most terrifying people to fight against. She's an insane stragegist even without her precious bow lol.

[@natchu96]

Honestly before this video I had no clue you machines even functioned as stable footing...

[@overkiter8707]

GG I think HFW only Spear will be even cooler.

[@caiusactinunwise1412]

Would be easy if you considered throwing spears.

[@lightspeed4448]

Good luck with the Slaughter Spine on ultra hard with only the spear 😬

[@fshypublic6103]

I actually do like the idea of trying a new game challenge with it, because I’m curious as to how long it’d take without the ability to have NG+ items.

[@thetester1158]

it took me quite a while, as rockbreakers are pain to kill with melee, and so are deathbringers. corrupters are not a threat as u have the ability to knock over big enemies by then

[@chican_0]

Just on my first play through and I find myself just using stealth and spear most of the time even though I have enough ammo to use my bow lol. Might want to do spear all the way and see how it goes. Problem is, I don’t have that shield armour yet.

[@ArthurMorganVP]

2:19:00 to hell with ted far, and good run!

[@zombiesithblade1579]

But if it is a new game you would not be able to use spear coils unless you go to the frozen wilds....

[@ElkjaerSpeedruns]

Would just have to go and get the upgrade :)

[@scrambledeggschef7787]

Commenting to help the algorithm, so that this video does well and we get a NG Spear Only one day..... Anyways, GG on this run!

[@anonymous-c3i]

me too

[@Diverdjent]

Awesome as always Elk. 🎮✨

[@cat793cdumpy]

Awesome amount of controller precision.

[@cat793cdumpy]

Any other weapon and you would have to farm for the ammo. The spear has limitless ammo for as long as you want to swing the spear.

[@StuRedman]

Great run, Elk! Just wondering, why didn't you load up the loadout with meat to craft potions when required? Or simply dupe them (drop and pick up)? With all the tricks you are using that one shouldn't matter.

[@saptruck3414]

Damn this makes me wanna try it

[@SilverHawk0987]

You can go for another r2 before the critical and cancel the animation but get lots of damage on staggered machines

[@feliciodossantos2430]

Reach the end using only the Banuck ray launcher. It would be really cool.

[@xmine08]

When you said the "like dis wideo" line the like button lit up what the hell

[@ElkjaerSpeedruns]

That is a feature KZbin added some time ago :)

[@theyungpotato9762]

Soo good mate ,I hope you're make a spear walkthrough in forbidden west

[@Threesnap]

This is a old video. But just want to thank you for this Speedrun. Helped me get ultra hard ng+ achievements. Was able to do a couple of your skips but more importantly if you can beat the enemies with a spear I knew I could do it will all the weapons lol.

[@ElkjaerSpeedruns]

Glad it helped you out :)

[@georgesaab2555]

I must add a comment so others like me can get a taste of your drive and power

[@ElkjaerSpeedruns]

Thanks :)

[@Gregorius421]

3:27:15 Do you show the Zero Dawn facility skip (the two guys on the catwalk) in one of your videos? Great content, very enjoyable and educative!

[@yash3576]

Next Banuk stormbolster only hard- ultra hard

[@paskvil8291]

i could do that... there, i said it... if i've put couple hundred hours into the game, and had insane skills like you :D nice run, GG!

[@popesinbengal]

Great challenge gg

[@koalatysleep]

What a mad lad

[@randomavghuman]

Holy fk dude that's quite insane

[@Sameul20101992]

Danm, I still think which is the best weapon and how to farm for my bow, afraid of being lose to Ultra hard. while this man finish with only spear lol

[@tomassoejakto]

45:44 Her face is stunning in forbidden west, but she's lost her abs. it's just a board with a dimple now... sad.

[@Katzenhaarallergie]

34:30 there is no need to kill olin here right? The challenge run would still be doable

[@ericasuperman8]

You are crazy😂😂

[@user-ge9bb5hw1z]

Goo boi

[@GlitchingGirl]

oh my god

[@lookatcurryman8793]

Hey just thought of this. Did you do this on forbidden west too?

[@centrevezgaming4862]

I had to tune out due to flickering lights on Aloy was giving me a headache.

[@Chromithius]

Damage less next pls

[@ElkjaerSpeedruns]

If you mean a No Damage run then I have already done it and you can find it on my channel.

[@dileepnv258]

I didn't play ultra hard does that mean i need more skills or just normal skill only means normal playing

[@zombiesithblade1579]

Gg

[@ssela]

He's also speed run while speed run the game. 😂

[@gibransapta7244]

Wooooooooooooooooooooooo

[@turboimport95]

I just want to see it done spear with no shield armor...

[@ElkjaerSpeedruns]

Soon...

[@findet_dori8614]

On your main channel when I go to videos I only see 10 videos and on playlists I see every video why???

[@fleur_bleue9703]

Because he has changed his main channel to only be for edited content and has unlisted all of his speedruns.

[@jamesmccabe5569]

Now do it without taking damage

[@Chromithius]

Yes pls

[@williamdehen1241]

"I don't think anyone has ever run out of time on this fight." You sir, underestimate how much I suck. That was the hardest hurdle I had to earn the trophy on PS4. I ran out of time a few times and finally beat it with literally like 2 seconds left. I thought I lost again and had to restart. Then I realized they were yelling at me to kill HADES.

[@chrisibe]

Bump.

[@Chuck_vs._The_Comment_Section]

The game looks much better with proper anti-aliasing. I only have flickering and "image unrest". :(

[@anonymous-c3i]

Every body commment on this vid

[@claireandslash6480]

Waiting for a New Game spear only 100% ultra hard no death speed run to stop all the nay-sayers who think you aren't that good. I suck so bad at this game I only play on normal difficulty. Then again I usually play these types of games with a mouse and keyboard. And honestly I don't play these types of games much anyway, but I'm well intrigued by this game.

But why?

[@soodback1904]

Comment

[@richizzle39]

Lol “I’m going to do a challenge run on NG+ after I’ve already maxed everything” what a challenge 🙄

[@mrzoonix6368]

NG+ well, that's just cheating isn't it. You already have all the best items etc.

[@sakshamsinghal5418]

Just the best armour which you can get very easily, spear which you get by going along the main story anyway and some heals
