UPDATE: I have completed a new run with a faster time. The current world record can be viewed here: • HFW Arena | Ultra Hard... .
This is a complete, unedited run from the beginning to the end of the Arena on the highest difficulty in Horizon Forbidden West. The run was completed on patch 1.18.
Items of Note
- I'm playing on a regular old PS4 with crappy 10-year-old hardware. This could be completed much more quickly on a PS5 with basically no load times.
- This time is extremely beatable-in particular, the Tideripper fight was very messy, one of my traps glitched through the floor during the Tremortusk fight (15:04), and I got greedy and killed myself against the Dreadwing.
- Due to the above mistakes, I went for a very risky strategy against the Thunderjaw-and it paid off. This will be hard to reproduce consistently because it relies on the machines being in the right spot, and I can't afford to wait for them to get in position while the clock is running.
Overall I am very happy with this run and achieving my goal of sub-30.
During the run, I use the following equipment:
- Carja Stalker Elite with Potion Proficiency and Weapon Stamina weaves
- Legacy's Reach with 5 Concentration Damage coils
- Iriv's Downfall with 4 Critical Hit Chance and 1 Concentration Damage coil (Focused Shot)
- Skykiller with 5 Multiple Enemy Damage coils (Spike Trap)
- Defiance with 5 Concentration Damage coils (Spike Trap)
- Elite Ropecaster with 1 Draw Speed and 2 Reload Speed coils
- Sun Scourge with 5 Frost Damage coils
- Smoke Bombs, Large Stamina Potions, and Elite Acid Traps

@lilohanrota66 Год назад

When you did the challenge, it was a lot easier compared to how it is now. Because the damage was more than 5k! After the update patch, they fixed this feature! Today it's almost impossible to do it on Ultrahard, within the required time.

@MrFancyPants Год назад

I'm not sure which challenge you're referring to. The patches have largely had no impact on the Arena. Let me know which you're struggling with.

@lilohanrota66 Год назад

I didn't refer to the Arena specifically. I referin about the "damage that the machines suffer". Before, it was possible to damage them like you did with a single shot, for 5000 damage. After the updates that came in February, they fixed the damage caused. Now with a lot of effort it reaches 700 impact damage. In Anrena, it is more common for each arrow to only deal 300 damage. The time for each Arena challenge has also been greatly reduced!@@MrFancyPants

@MrFancyPants Год назад

@@lilohanrota66 Machines take the same damage. Can you provide a specific example where you are not getting the numbers I was getting? The times have not been changed in the Arena.

@lilohanrota66 Год назад

@@MrFancyPants The actual times have been changed compared to your video. You have a challenge, whose video is 5 min, and currently the time is 1m20s (for example). And the damage has changed! As I've been saying, the damage on the machines doesn't reach 5000 anymore. Now at the maximum (in the Arena) they only reach 890 damage. It dropped a lot. As I've been saying, this amount of damage that previously occurred has been fixed. Now it's harder than before due to low damage.

@MrFancyPants Год назад

@@lilohanrota66I think I understand your confusion about the time. The actual time limits have not changed for any of the challenges. However, if you complete a challenge below the time limit, the timer within the level will show your own personal best-not the time limit. If you're thinking of a level with a five minute timer, that's either Rematch or Tremortusk Tussle (or Plasma and Fire, but that wasn't part of this video). If you highlight them in the challenges menu (before starting the challenge), it will show you both the maximum time and your own personal best. You can see that the time limit is still five minutes for both of those challenges. If you are not convinced, please share an image or video of this screen that shows a different max time: imgur.com/a/h0T6kVn Regarding the damage values: You aren't providing enough context for me to understand the issue. What weapons are you using? What enemies are you fighting? What coils and status effects and valor surges? Etc. It is currently trivial to deal 5-10k damage with a single arrow in the Arena using the new Burning Shores Elite coils. The amount of damage you deal has not been changed or capped in any way. Without specific information about the strategy you're using, I can't help you understand why you're dealing the amount of damage you're dealing. If possible, please share a video.

@JimPedrazzoli Год назад

I want to start a new game + (ultra hard difficulty). Before doing that I'm planning to farm resources in order to fully upgrade the new legendary weapons added in the las patch. Here comes the Q : does the game still challenging with all this upg weapons? Cz I imagine that u can get too OP. Donno, imagine irivs bow with critical chance coils, and so on. 🤔

@JimPedrazzoli Год назад

I don't mind about the health or other things that comes with the ultra hard diff, I'm just wondering if the weapon damage gets so op that the game in overall becomes easier.

@MrFancyPants Год назад

Fully upgraded weapons definitely make a big difference. However, I still think UH with all the NG+ weapons is harder than VH with all the regular legendaries. It's nice to have access to the best gear, but you can also choose not to play with it if you think it's making things too easy. For example, in this video I was challenged to defeat an Apex Slaughterspine using only green equipment on UH in less than 10 minutes. Not an easy feat! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-s_rnazdhDcs.html&ab_channel=MrPantsFancy

@lilohanrota66 Год назад

No my friend! In Ultrahard the time is naturally reduced! I'm not referring to the time limited by my record. But what already comes by default. There were changes following updates that came after the period in which you recorded the video! I use the maximum level of the armor considered to be the strongest, until then, which is the legendary Thunder Huntress Nora, with the Legendary Scourge Bow as well (all already at maximum level). In other videos from other RU-vidrs Gamers, they also criticized the fact that Sony nerfed the high level of damage that before (until the beginning of this year, 2023), it was still possible to cause machines! In the Arena, it hardly reaches 1000 damage, naturally only between 300 and 900 damage caused to machines. In your video, with just 1 arrow shot, you can do 5000 damage, for example.

@MrFancyPants Год назад

Again, I have no idea what you're talking about. I have spent *a lot* of time playing the Arena. The times have never been changed. They are the same no matter the difficulty. If someone else is claiming they are changed, please show me the evidence. What were the old times? What are the new times? Etc. There has only ever been one update that substantively affected damage values. That was in June 2022. It made Braced Shot and Stealth Stalker slightly worse. None of that is relevant to this video, or to any of the top Arena strategies. Again, please point me to your sources so I can better understand. Just saying "the damage is between 300 and 900" is not useful. There are lots of weapons. Some of them deal 500 damage. Some of them can deal 5,000 damage if you have the right setup. For example, here's a video I just recorded five seconds ago on Ultra Hard using the Sun Scourge and Iriv's Downfall with no coils and no low-health bonuses: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fAtL9Ozet3A.html If you add coils and low-health and valor surges, it can get much, much higher.

Bro are you on new game plus? I’m on new game ultra hard without any special equipment. Can you post a detailed video on how you maximize weapons and such for this godly damage.

@MrFancyPants Год назад

Yes, this is NG+. The key is to get all the special equipment... ;-) This is a fully optimized speedrun that uses all of the best gear in the game. You won't be able to reproduce it on NG. The short answer is to take advantage of weak spots and especially to abuse the brittle state. The 5,000 damage Focused Shots are using the NG+ sharpshot bow, which has Elite Precision Arrows (not available before NG+), and Critical Hit Chance coils to get critical hits on weak points on brittle enemies. You can see my best time (and most up-to-date loadout) here and in the video description: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_DsdQsvuroI.html
