A good tip with this guide, is to change the time to night because then the thunderjaw will become an apex machine which sells for more and you gain more loot
Another way to get lots of money is turning on “easy loot” which is in the custom difficulty level, I now have like 12 tremortusk tusks which sell for a lot
Honestly I think you’re ruining the game playing on all guides with an easier difficulty. I recommend turning off guided and playing on at least hard difficulty.
Im 40 hours into the game. My personal opinion is u dont have to level up fast. Just do it organically while u do sidequests or errands. The game is really big and has soo many missions. So if u reached maximum level cap before u finished most missions, i guess u would feel bored and lose motivation to finish the sidequests
I'm loving literally everything about this game man. It is SOOOOO well done. Everything is so well animated and it makes you feel like everything you do has real rewards.
You do make a solid point there. I level up so damn fast with just doing other shit it'll be pointless to farm. My only issue is knowing what to sell and getting damn gears and weapons, but I'll get it.
Also remember to take small detour to former rebel outpost literally next to this for multiple corruptor carcasses for extra shards...+50-80 extra shards easily
There is actually a spot nearby that you can lure the Thunderjaw to and just kill it without ever getting hit. Due west of the Thunderjaw icon on the map screen is a camp that you should clear. In between the camp and the Thunderjaw will be a large "spiral spine" structure. Lure your target there. The Thunderjaw seems to be programmed to never actually go around this structure. So you could just stand at the end furthest from the campfire you mentioned, and just shoot at its parts (excluding the tail and underbelly). If it attacks, just duck behind the structure, putting it between you and the Thunderjaw. None of the laser attacks from the sky can reach you either if you duck underneath the structure.
You can actually do this same thing to the Shellsnapper that you have to avoid during one of the drone quests. All you have to do is hide behind the rock face near the camp fire and hit the weak points while hiding behind the rocks after they bombard you with frost attacks. If you repeat this you can defeat the Shellsnapper easily which is perfect for large machine cores.
This was a very good & easy early-game farm, thank you! I tried doing this right after finishing Death’s Door with The Dying Lands as my main-story mission. You cannot progress time at a shelter while you’re at this point in the story, but all you have to do is walk back to your shelter and the thunderjaw respawns automatically. 👍🏻
@@MrRolle-zf6dk I did it for the shards - but since my wife watches me play, when she’s not around farming is about all I can do to not advance the story/side/etc… plus we don’t hunt the animals, so gotta make that up some other way.
@@herpiederpieherpie I killed it like 7-9 times last night and I can tell you from a single miss-click, you’re best off quick saving. Also, there’s a random chance it spawns an alpha!
I discovered this on my own and all I needed to was reach the wooden floor then I turn around back to the Thunderjaw site and while I’m doing that I’m already using Triple Notch to load more arrows so by the time I get there I’m focused on targeting the disc launchers and using them against it
@@mbsgamerpro Having completed the main game and just wanting to max some of the weapons I don’t mind cheesing it now. Wouldn’t do any of this in the main game as is completely unnecessary. There is loads of loot and I only really started to run short when I’d finished the main game and most of the side quests. My suggestion for getting loot with out cheese is do a side quest when running short.
Another easy way without fight is buying and selling whisper bow at barren light like infinate number of times. But you need to complete a side mission to unlock it.
Don't forget to turn on easy loot in the accessibility settings. There are lots of locations where you can take advantage over a maschine from stuff around. The dreadwing at the bridge if you stay under it, the Slaughterspine at the ship if you stay between/behind it, the fire claw in the swamps if you let them circle around some small tree patch, the thunder jaw at the tall neck, if you stay on/behind the crashed plane near the campfire.
I've been hesitating whether to go mess with the thunderjaw here, and my more recent experience with a thunderjaw in a sidequest from Arrowhand was actually making me doubt my chances, but then this appeared in my feed. Time to take out my thunderjaw-induced stress on this poor fella.
I cheesed that one too😂 there’s a mountain range that I used in the arrowhand mission that made it way easier. I always hate the disk launcher attacks, so I always disable those first!
@@Josh00T Oh man, was it ever! I died several times running around looking for the damn Ravager cannons Drakka kept yelling about. I was looking for the little yellow icons to show me where they were. Took me way to long to realize that I needed to shoot them off of the Ravager carcasses first.
I cud tell he didnt play the 1st game much...He literally didnt know the "lasers" from the air was how the disc launcher worked when used by the thunderjaw..
Sell machine muscles!?! Those are used for high lvl arrows aren't they? I'll keep those thx. Also, everything you can't carry goes to storage so it's not like they go to waste if you have 50 on you already.
I love farming the Dreadwing. There’s one area where you can stand at the rocks and aim a tear arrow at and get the Metal Fangs. It’s nice because after running and collecting them, you can call them mount your sunwing, fly away a certain distance then turn around and everything has reset. If you kill the Dreadwing it respawns, if not then the fangs and components you tore off respawn
Tried farming at this spot on hard and I didn't need to progress time, just use the work bench then stash chest and he was back. After second or third time it was a Alpha and it used the discs a lot and climbed on the one hill so it could hit me and stayed at a distance a lot. On easy to farm more he didn't do any of that
I tend to get a certain distance away (about 100-200 steps roughly) and it respawns. It's a distance trigger, not a time trigger. Works in any direction on any machine - up, down, sideways...
I beat this game. Towards the middle I had to make myself play. I hate how the made Alloy. Stuckup, unlikeable bully. Stupid woke game, won't buy the next installment. 👎🏻
I'm sure that it's already been said, but the attack where the lasers come down from the sky and explode is actually the disk launcher. When you took the one off to shoot it at the machine, the machine was still attacking you with the other one that was still attached.
If you put your difficulty to custom, you can turn on easy loot, which means you don't have to worry about shooting off the parts, just kill the machine and the parts you need won't be destroyed, they will always be available, doesn't matter if you play on very hard or story.
It may be shameful, but at about level 22, I did the custom difficulty, where I kept everything at normal, but I turned on quick loot. There was just too many times where I killed a machine before I could blast off an important component, then it was lost! I’m really glad they put in that option though!
@@sethfeldpausch4337 Keep easy loot on and still try to go for knocking the item off. You will then get double of that item. You get one from picking up the knocked off item and you get one from the machine carcass. So you can get two of them now. So if you mess up you only get 1 however if you succeed you get two now.
Keep in mind, notching 2 or 3 arrows is good for elemental build-up but every extra arrow you knock gives you a damage reduction. For example: 2 arrows = -20% dmg and 3 arrows = -30% dmg
I cleared out the bandit camp next to this camp and if you fast travel from the bandit camp to the camp where you can sit to progress time with your stash and whatnot, it will automatically respawn.
I'm ps5, but I'll agree whole-heartedly! This game is so beautiful! I love games like this! My top games in human history for consoles: Infamous 2, The Witcher III: Wild Hunt, Horizon II: Forbidden West! If anyone knows these games well and has a new game like these for me to try, reply to this! So far, I'm told: Cyberpunk 2077, pro-latest patch & Ghost of Tsushima! Is this really true?
Horizon Forbidden West is Superb Game Just finished playing an absolutely amazing story and gameplay. Overall Game Rating - 4.5/5 Storyline- 5/5 Free-Roam Gameplay- 4/5 Combat Gameplay- 4/5 Cinematic- 5/5 Character Development- 4.5/5
I loving it too, but I would love a QOL feature that made looting quicker, like in Ghost of Tsushima. I just hate how Aloy is forced to come to a complete stop even when on mounts in order to grab some friggin berries!
You need to use arrows/bows with a high tear attribute. It's the broken shield icon when looking at the weapon. The higher that is, the faster the components come off. Hunter bows are good for this. Elemental arrows don't have tear, so they won't do anything. Using frost or acid and getting the elemental proc, first, also helps after switching to the hunter arrows.
I'd love some hard numbers vis-a-vis sold components vs ammo crafted. You might make a decent amount of shards selling all the thunderjaw components, but how many shards do you spend on crafting the incredible number of arrows it takes to kill the thing? Do you really end up making that much with ammo considered? Does dropping to story difficulty affect this enough to make a difference? I'm not implying anything. I'm genuinely curious. I love me some cheeeeeese lol.
So I tested it on story difficulty with easy loot turned on. I crafted all my ammo (I have all the quivers upgraded to max level,) and went in with 2420 shards to my name. I had to replace two 4-packs of tear precision arrows for 40 shards, a 10-pack of acid arrows for 10 shards, and a 15-pack of hunter arrows for 1 shard (total 51 shards spent to fight the thunderjaw) taking my starting total down to 2369. I'm not gonna list every component I received from the fight, but I made sure to get the tail and blast as many other parts off as I could for the shards. I made a list as I looted so I could price my loot out accurately. The thunderjaw gave me 703 shards worth of loot (including the 78 shards it dropped as shards.) That means I made a net return of 652 shards for taking down the thunderjaw in story mode with easy loot turned on. Good to know!
1. Hunt the Thunder jaw in night 2. Freeze the thunder jaw, because it doubles the damage. 3. Farm/grind this till you get the amount of loot you want.
Are you crazy!?!?!? I LOVE CHEESE 🧀 😅😅😅 This was a great tip…this thing has been kicking my ass all week…I was literally at work thinking…I’m a try that mountain 😄😄 then came across your video…I’m at level 16…
For anyone wanting to enjoy the game I would recommend against using this too much. Don't level yourself up so much that everything becomes boring because you one shot every machine. If you're more than 4-8 levels above the current main quest the main quest missions start becoming a snooze fest because it's just too easy. If you think the game is too hard even when you're at the recommended level for missions try just lowering the difficulty instead of artificially lowering the difficulty by repeating the same thing over and over. Imagine spending 5 hours farming just so you can play the main story in 10 hours and all 10 hours are boring.
Or just play the hard mode and above difficulty simple. I currently stop playing the main quest and side quest first while tryna focus for upgrading my weapons and armors
Bought this game the other day and I'm telling you what I'm absolutely glad that I did I bought it ,,I bought dying light 2 immediately as soon as it turned 12:03 February the 4th and there is so many soundbugs and glitches I had to put it in my memory for now I'll bring it back out once it's patched up and working fine but this game right here is a 🤙🤙🤙🤙 masterpiece it is immensely beautiful and satisfying I put this video here and my watch later when I get back on the game I want to map this out and try it for myself I started off this game playing on very hard immediately 💯❤️
Tails are really hard to hit, even in concentration they'll be whipping around really quick, hard to track. I prefer to shoot the tails on Thunderjaws and tiderippers first thing with a tear arrow from stealth, once it alerts it'll be whipping around.
One of the first lines in the video states "any items you want in the game"... This is a false claim as he doesn't mention legendary weapons at all, just any that you can purchase. On an aside, I'd like a count on how many times he says "suuuper"... Bonus for "super duper" 🙄
Its because there not trophies related to difficulty also ability to swap on the fly You can farm your stuff on story and switch to hard or very hard without conscience
You can actually get both farming and XP at the same time if you set your difficulty to custom. You can then set easy loot on and then have enemy difficulty higher, which I believe will increase the XP gain from killing enemies.
I beat the game already and I can tell you it is probably best to progress the story to right before the final mission if you are lookimg to explore everything. Many mechanics are locked behind special hurdles that require items gained from story. And you unlock something that makes traversal 1000x faster. I'm still enjoying exploring in postgame.
Easiest way I found to get shards was hunting the crustaceans by the southwest tide ripper. Fluorescent shells are worth 125 shards each. I can end up with thousands of shards quick.
You don't need to pass time. You can head over to the Widemaw site that's right across from there and farm both. They respawn if you get far enough in each site.
Awesome, didn't realise you could boost by skipping time. Tip though, if you head into the nearby rebel Outpost, there is a Corruptor gun, which does good damage on it, and you can sit in the Outpost under the archway, it can't enter the Outpost there, and plenty of cover!
Just finished this game. Once you get the Sunwing rider you are able to drop on Top of anything that you'd have to climb. You are able to quickly and safely travel to every '?' On the map and quickly get everything. This is one of the most beautiful games I ever played. Can't wait for a third installment
I haven't watched the full video yet and I'm sure it has great tips, just wanted to acknowledge that the thumbnail made me laugh because "DO THIS NOW AND GET RICH AND LEVEL FAST" looks like the video is leading to what's clearly a scam 🤣
What I found useful was using frost hunter arrows on the chillwater canisters on his stomach. If you hit it right, they explode and it turns him into a brittle state, and then you can use a tear weapon to tear off his parts pretty easily. It's even easier if you max out the Part-breaking valour surge under the machine override stat. I took the Thunderjaw out in like 3 minutes
**Cough** Custom Difficulty. What happens if you set "Damage to Aloy" and "Enemy Health" to Very Hard, but have "Easy Loot" set to On? Is the experience gain still treated as Story Difficulty? And if not, which of the first two options actually effects XP?
Unless there’s been a big change from HZD-and I haven’t tested it at all-XP is the same at every difficulty level. Certainly, they made some other big changes, some that don’t make sense from a realism standpoint (I’m looking at you, limited traps and tripwires), but I hadn’t heard that they changed that.
@@allensnyder4641 Thank you!! Actually traps etc were limited in zero dawn too. If you had placed too many they would disappear after a short time ... I once set up 20 trip wires, 36 traps and started to place proximity bombs ... I turned around to see most of them were gone and more continued to disappear 😭 I tried to get the attention of the machine and by the time it reached me, everything but 12 traps/bombs were gone ... then I died xD
Great work buddy honestly they probably did put it there on purpose when you look back at the first game I feel like farming was a huge part of that game because the enemies would always respawn so I kinda think they did the same thing here no matter what your getting xp 👍
@@SuperZombiepimp I mean I honestly believe that this game should have had new game plus I hope they will add it I mean single player story driven games that should be the standard now I mean it's been in development for 5 years they have done an excellent job but I hope they add new game plus I'd definitely play it again 👍
@@christopherwelch5861 first game got it I’m sure part 2 will as well and I’m sure we will get DLC later as well for now they need to fix some issues that some players are getting though
@@SuperZombiepimp I hear ya unfortunately it's not as simple as buying a new copy of the game anymore like it was way back lol now it's all inside of the games code in itself but with huge games like this it's almost guaranteed to happen especially a game like the Witcher that game had massive bugs and glitches great game though
@@SuperZombiepimp there's been virtually none. Every game is going to have SOME. But the fact that this game hasn't had any consistent game breaking issues is spectacular.
You were very low in terms of gear and you were playing on a lower difficulty. I tried this on Ultra Hard with low level gear, as I started a new game, and got buttraped every time because of the disc launchers which takes like a bazillion tear arrows to take them off... As soon as he uses several of them and homing on me, I'm screwed, I have to be insanely precise to not fall off the mountain... And as soon as I do... I get one-shot by any attack. (I had 370 health).
Im playing the hell out of this game, 24 hour bursts at a time. I can't stop playing. The only thing thats weird is its like they just kept making the first game, pretty much the exact game.
There's no real need to farm in this game, though. Everything you do gives you skill points and chests are everywhere and full of valuable loot. But of course, if you want to be level 50 throughout the entire game.....go for it.
Pro-tip for gaining more of the item. Turn on easy loot and still aim at detaching the item. With easy loot on and detaching the item you get double the item. One from the pick up and one from the machine carcass. So if you want money faster do this. If you mess up and kill without detaching the item you will then only get 1 but succeed a detaching an item you then get rewarded with two.
I went head on with a hunter bow with regular arrows shot off his guns and rocked him. It takes like one minute on Story Mode. Then run all the way through the rebel outpost to the opposite side and pass the fence then turn around and the Thunderjaw will respawn. After defeating him run down the hill next to the road towards the water but not all the way because you don’t have to go that far then go back to the camp where the Shards will respawn every time. Rinse and repeat.
This might draw the attention of the Cheese Border Patrol, but they won't be able to make an arrest. It's a dumb robot, you're a smart human. Even if you're role-playing, this is still well within the acceptable boundaries of play.
You don’t have to progress time, you can run usually just out of sight , probably running to the shelter is far enough, maybe not, but it will respond without time progression. You can also save and restart save.
Awsome video can I just outright kill it without breaking off the parts and still make the same amount of money?? Cause I STILL have to turn around and sell the collected parts correct???
That's what I did. I don't feel like shooting off all the parts or I miss out on specific items needed all the time; so I kept everything else as explorer, and just turned on easy loot. But if you do shoot them off, then you actually can get extra items anyway, mostly crafting things from the resource containers shot off.
The only thing that cheesy is your delivery and script...everything is super this or that...Ned Flanders...super diddly-do !!! Your not talking to super diddly do 4 year olds...
Tried this. It works. I don't want to go down in difficulty. This fight is way too long..... Took me like 10 minutes and All my ammo to beat that thing.... Not worth it😢 lvl 16 btw
