I went there at like 17-18. Left when I was low 50s and fully geared which trivialized the main game. You will die and run a lot but I had fun doing it at lower levels.
One of the quests in the main story takes you right up to where Frozen Wilds starts; I usually just head up there at that point, which will also have you at about the right level.
Yea, I've done this play through a little weird, but it's worked out and has kept me going so that's a plus. I burned out way before now on previous play-throughs.
You definitely get a lot more powerful with upgrades, but at no point on anything but the lowest difficulty can you just let machines melee you. The melee attacks in this game all do a lot of damage and almost all of them knock you down.
I just beat ultra hard to 100% the first and you're basically correct. Leveling is 10 HP and a skill point and nothing else. Lots of skills are worthless making it even less noteworthy.I still don't get Horizon Zero Dawn | TheSixthAxis
A third person open-world action-adventure should be right up my street, so why don't I enjoy playing Guerrilla's Horizon Zero Dawn?www.thesixthaxis.com
Pretty much sums up how I feel about the game which I've touched on in the HZD thread. No matter how many upgrades you get or gear upgrades you get that piece of shit Strider still takes out the same percentage of health no matter what. I have 490 health at level 29, and say I feel like running into a pack of Striders to just demolish them? Oh wait, I get cocky or more likely greedy and get tagged by his back leg kick. Why should it still take 30% of my health? Why isn't that taking like 10 health in total? It makes gear and mods pointless because it doesn't actually make you feel more powerful.
Am I doing it wrong? Should I have been hoarding metal shards to try and buy Armor upgrades from the merchants long before level 30? Do most of those upgrades come from the main quest, and by skipping that I've fucked my gear "upgrade path" if you will, and that's why it seems so off? At level 30 I feel like I should be able to be surrounded by 4 Striders, just standing there, and be able to live for a hell of a long time.
Says the guy who's only attracted to characters that look exactly like Mercy.
Also freezing opponents then striking vulnerable spots with triple shot hardened arrows and max physical damage mods on your bow.
Not really. Both the Lodge Bow and the Banuk Bow do a shitload of freeze damage modded. Frost Bombs and Frost Traps are really good early on though. The slings in general are really useful, I would not have been able to beat the last hunting trial in the DLC if I didn't have a fully modded blast sling just to put out enough DPS to kill those frostbears of doom.
The women who dress up aren't the ones complaining about boobs in video game. The women complaining are hambeasts who couldn't get a date with a rapist.
You "Sound" like you're at the part you can do the Shield armor quest line. That armor is more than enough to let you wade into shit for at least a few seconds. Though I always thought setting up traps was far more worth it. Follow this guide.I still don't get Horizon Zero Dawn | TheSixthAxis
