I haven't got this far in the game yet to even fight one of these beasts..but the visual of when you take down a machine - or even just hit it with a big explosion - and see all of the armour plating/components flash blue and come flying off as it crumples over, dead, still love that.
When I saw this for the first time I was like: WTF?! But I think revealing the new machines should be story or side story related to unlock them on the map afterwards. Way more impactful. It's that reason that the surprise seeing one of these in the main story wasn't a surprise and new it was coming.
It is somewhat, you only fight the snek in the wild after a certain part of the story. But yeah probably would be better if it is like the way you describe
This just shows how powerful the machines in Forbidden West are. It takes about 2 minutes for a skilled player to take down a Thunderjaw, it took almost 6 minutes for this skilled player to take down a Slaughterspine.
I don't have the game but I think that the devs when making the Slaughterspine's attacks, they took inspiration from Shin Godzilla. One: because Shin has lasers on its back and the Slaughterspine has things that shoot from its back Two: the purple beam the Slaughterspine has is identical to Shin's beam. And Third: Shin also has a tail beam like The Slaughterspine. The difference is that Shin's tail beam shoots one beam instead of three
@@mamoruchiba752 try very hard difficulty yet? I just did and it one shot me although I am wearing Nora thunder warrior max level. And it has like 15k hp or something, can't even chip good hp off him.
I remember facing one the first time during one of the story quests (might’ve been Gemini?) and absolutely being freaked out by the size and strength of it. My brother even sat down and watched me fight it. It took me two tries, the first time I had it down to a sliver of health but I ran out of medicinal berries and it killed me, the second time I barely made it out and had to put the controller down for a minute. Good times!
when I arrived at the Quen landing site and saw this one from afar, it was fighting some of the Tenakht rebels and it was totally decimated by one of the rebels carrying an acidspitter. It was so awesome watching them fight and it's what I love about this game, the random encounters are really fun.
I managed to kill one in 15 seconds on normal. The fastest I’ve done yet. However I think is wasn’t an apex version I can’t remember. Next time try the one on the mountain, it’s harder because there are a bunch of leaplashers there too to deal with at the same time
In normal difficulty, it is possible to one shot it. Use stealth valor (lvl 3 grants 200% extra dmg against unaware enemy) then use forgefall braced shots on weak point and it will deals anywhere from 5k, 7k or even up to 9k based on ur build. Instant one shot.
I had already fought a slaughter spine prior to going to Quen territory. But once there, I ran into another one, and it seemed sooooooo much harder. I didn't realize until the following night of play that I was still wearing the outfit that I got forced to switch into at the Dig Site. And also, I didn't have any spikes or material to make them. And those things are so much harder to handle without spikes.
I first fought it. Is not as easy as it looks 😂 😅 Your fight when longer. Cuz you were hitting the indestructible plasma thing. Look at the damage when you hit it, compared to the damage to the other parts
