The QUICKEST way to beat the chieftain hunting trials in horizon zero dawn the frozen wilds

[@suzetteoo]

The scorcher tip has to be the most helpful thing I've come across. Thanks a million for sharing! 😊

[@hillbillykoi5534]

Agreed. Never tried it like that.

[@NicholasAshford]

Gotta admit i cheaped out this one trial in order to obtain the achivement, i was tired and i played this on story mode, 2 hits on each one and that was all xD.

[@williamallen7386]

In the time it takes him to beat the Scorchers you could finish the entire trial.

[@07fufufu]

I love you babe

[@Trakker1985]

I live the way these videos make it look easy =P when he throws that rock and the scorcher goes to investigate it, 9 time out of 10 they never seem to do that for me lol

[@stephanepoirier5582]

There always seems to be certain amount of luck involved, isn't there?

[@froggygrubert592]

He’s on a really easy difficulty

[@hippohams]

@@froggygrubert592 Or this was run #2582 and the timing was just right

[@metalbeans2745]

this trial literally made me hold back the urge to want to throw the controller at the tv I hate scorcher so much WHY DOES THERE HAVE TO BE NOT ONE BUT TWO SCORCHERS???

[@luciferchase9671]

Exactly man like one scorcher can one shot u half the time but two preaty much waste the entire trial time trying to kill them

[@ninja.saywhat]

ropecaster and corrupted arrows anyone?

[@borinken2498]

@@ninja.saywhat i Tried that but it seems as soon as you shoot a corrupted arrow at them the round meter immediately depletes meaning they 're immune against those arrows

One of the most useful video walkthroughs I've ever come across, thanks friend.

[@petsgamesandrobots438]

It never occurred to me to look for traps in the field, thank you for this 😊

[@charlespoole2065]

Thanks for all the comments guys, sorry I haven’t been very active. This is the only challenge I had problems with so I’m glad this video helps other people

[@theguy4542]

Used this method and finally was able to beat this sumbitch. That mine launcher from the scorchers really came in handy with the bellowbacks. Cleared that area in about 10 seconds 🤣

[@lukaskubinec9608]

Your method saved me. Tried others, even have all weapons maxed, but only log method gave me 3:51. Cheers buddy.

[@masterchain3335]

Awesome method, although *technically* the quickest would be if you didn't get grabbed by the Frostclaw towards the end there :)

[@TheEthNick]

I did this using one less log trap in the first arena, so lost time there, but I reckon I completed the bellowbacks faster by loading 3 sharpshooter arrows with the Banuk booster on their weakspots. Fun trial & so satisfying!

[@DanoRiaz]

Wow this was a walk in the park for this guy

[@murphbri]

Thanks, was able to beat it in 3:57!

[@moby_04]

You missed one trick that really helped me when dealing with bellowback. There are actually 3 logpiles around the area that you can use. I lured bellowback under one of those and triggered it using one single hunter arrow and was lucky enough that pretty much all logs landed exactly on the machine. Effect? Instakill and finished challenge. :) As I said, there are 3 of them in the area so you can either use other ones earlier or have two extra attempts ;)

[@steelbear2063]

Eh, bellowbacks are the easiest part

[@Casketkrusher_]

I'm playing on ultra hard, I can't seem to kill the frost claws in time. I have big trouble with them. The scorchers and fire bellowbacks are the easiest to take down.

[@cobrazax]

i think the stormslinger might be good for quick dmg. by default i usually use only precision arrows on frostclaws...to freeze them by exploding their freeze sacks and then spam full draw triple shots from the maxed banuk powershot bow on the eyes.

[@jaswik2023]

@@cobrazax why do you not use hardpoint instead it has higher tear and just slightly lower impact around 10 with the best mods and the hardpoint shoots so much quicker

[@cobrazax]

@@jaswik2023 i think it has way less damage, but if u load them quickly enough they can do similar damage. its best to focus on triple shots to save draw time.

[@dynamicdanam3644]

This is awesome! This needs to be shared more! Thanks for posting this!

[@billiondollardan]

I don't think I've ever watched anyone use the environmental damage effects before. Nice video

[@hot1988love]

I got my blazing sun on my second try thanks to this video! ;D

[@chloe_louise123]

This was a great strategy, thank you for sharing!

[@hec5426]

Which "runes" are you using in the weapon? I have 2 51% damage on it and still can't reach the 1280 damage you cause. The creature remains alive.

[@ninja.saywhat]

pay attention to the secondary stats not just the main one. in a lot cases here, the secondary stats actually counts more towards improving your weapon's efficiency.

[@felixcorbeil8617]

The icerail does not one shot the scorchers. Help me. I will soon cry

[@eraofjerkitude]

Dude is clearly playing on easy or story mode, hes gotta be

[@graemehandley5601]

Wow, the logs! Not sure I'd have noticed, few failed attempts then over to KZbin 😂 thanks for the help!

[@Bobywan75]

Thanks, I did it just your way after 5 tries.

[@michelangelooberti3764]

You're the best!!! Thank you soooooo much ❤❤❤

[@CCJJ160Channels]

You are a beast! Thanks for posting!

[@Deathst2r]

I wouldn't call this the best time or best strategy. Especially when all you have to is freeze both of the Scorchers until kill over with the Icerail. Then use the Flamethrower on the other four. It worked for me giving me a Time of 2:32

[@_LEONKING_]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/oH7bpHWra9uqrKc Check that video out, I did a run in hard difficulty just to test and it took me about 3:20, but the one I linked just a bit over one minute

[@sruba8584]

I know time, but I did 2:19 with just the bow

[@luciferchase9671]

Tho if u have the skill that allows u to use 3 arrows in one shot I've found it quicker to use 3 hard point arrows on the banuk hunter bow with a charged shot it preaty much destroys the component instantly, that and it charges up faster than the sharpshoot bow

[@jjflip8871]

You shot the blaze canister with a tear blast arrow 1:05, lol

[@fidato_]

I can kill those bellow backs with jpowershot bow in under 30sec. Frost Claws are evil if they come at you together but they are managable you just have to be careful not to alarm both of them at once. those scrochers are real time eaters. I'll try the logpiles trick now. Thanks

[@KairaIsa]

Thank you sooooo much!

[@tylergoffinet1085]

Great idea, thanks for the help!

[@famaplay]

Yo can do it more cheesy, with my epic tech, finish a run but instead of rappel to the end, walk all the way back to the first 2 and extract the mine launchers and carry them to the frostangrybears stage, then procede to start the trial again and voila, now u have 2 mine launchers to cheese out the bears 😂😂

[@williamallen7386]

Why do all that nonsense when you can take them out even faster with the Icerail?

[@famaplay]

@@williamallen7386 cause is more easy, and why not?

[@ninja.saywhat]

@@famaplay do they really stay there when you restart the trial? this may have been patched but i gotta try this. what's your best time for this on ultra btw?

[@damianwest8008]

how did the icerail do damage overtime? it only took 1 shot. mods?

[@Paintkillerify]

I managed to kill all of them without using a single log under 4:30 lol. Guess I’m sweaty enough to finish it in 4:22 minutes, unfortunately around 5 tries tho

[@kendallwilliams9618]

Man, I just suck at this trial. I tried this method many times but still missed the mark. The hardest part for me is shooting the logs for the frostclaws. My timing is always off.

[@syo_nara1916]

I think the update to the game took this into consideration. It’s harder to get them closer to the logs and the first log kill doesn’t give max damage, I’ve alway had to re shoot. Closest I’ve been is 4:50. Still not giving up though.

[@Loknath009]

This is great but it most be in easy or something, no where close to the damage I do, even at the same damage output

[@googlemapscat3079]

I was about to finish it within 3 mins but dissaster strike i fall of a cliff T-T

[@damainestoner5731]

And I taught I was bad ass ....not bad at all........advice scan your robots weak points and exploit them especially the 1s with weapons very very effective against them and others

[@leonard9624]

He doesnt have to he knows.

[@ninja.saywhat]

the idea for the scorcher is good but not practical same with the frost claw, the logs are very helpful but can be tricky and quite time consuming. the bellowback one was freaking slow. i don't think this is even on ultra hard. i can kill it with 2 salvos of precision arrows (2x3) on ultra hard and would usually take 15 secs or less for it.

[@TashiroSato]

I love Aloy

[@hanidhchohan]

Guys I didn’t use any logpiles cos blast sling does the trick!

[@lunafreyjaschmitt5337]

Dude the slow load up on the ice thrower is bullshit, I wish they’d either sped it up or slow down the monsters in ultra this is BS

[@greneck80]

what about doing it with not that good equipment in ultra hard mode ...that would be usefull to know for me xD

[@aldybandojo]

Wait how did you get those weapons? In the frozen wilds quests do i need to get the half sun in order to continue with the story??

[@RizkyMaulanaNugraha]

You can still continue with the story without doing this quest. Just do the other one (clear bandit, clear tallneck, help with pigments). From the bandit, you will get fireforge (used to kill frostclaw in this video) From the main story, you will get icetrail (used to kill scorcher in this video) You then proceed far enough with the main quest until you meet Varga. Ask her to upgrade both this weapon (this video uses both upgraded versions). Follow the sidequest (kill ravager + bellowbeck).
