I have a Love / Hate relationship with the ShellSnappers. I hate their versitality of armaments that quickly beat down Aloy if not dodging constantly; I love the loot available if Aloy shreds it off the machine and / or kills it. About the ShellSnapper on the island near San Francisco: My first attempt to best it, I got my @$$ handed to me. It took a while, and it was a resounding thrashing because I ~tried~ to stay out of its way, yet it dominated me. My second attempt, I played it smarter, setting traps, dodging more effectively, and whittling away at it. Almost done, and the darn thing jumped and crushed me! Third attempt was much more deliberate, using better strategy, and I finally triumphed! Then I did the most stupid thing ever. I engaged in one more machine battle on the way out, with a Widemaw, I believe... and it killed me before I had a chance to SAVE. W...T...F... So, the Flower protecting the loot in the overgrown structure is ~still~ on my map. {sigh} I'm gonna wait a while before returning to "finish" this grudge match. "Just you wait, Henry ShellSnapper. Just you wait!"
It is pretty darn hard to take down an apex on Very Hard. I was trying it when making this video, and got so close a couple times. The first time, it was at 10% health or less and it DESTROYED me with the power beam attack. The second time I suffered the same fate as you… dodged at the wrong time and got crushed by its belly slam. I know it ranks lower in terms of level compared to other machines, but I find it a lot harder than something like the scorcher.
@@KingOfMadnesss Probably with just how many weapons they have at their disposal. Although Deathbringers couldn’t burrow into and then explode out of the ground.
@@unknown_2552 I'd probably say the Thunderjaw due to cool factor and nostalgia and then the Clawstrider because I love the way they look and the fact you can ride them
@@thegaminpsycho1153 gotta love the Thunderjaw for the nostalgia. I always wish I could’ve gotten the replica that came with the Zero Dawn Collectors edition!
Thanks! Glad you liked it! I had never seen the energy beam attack til that very last fight. Every machine has so many unique attacks. I like that the devs made them so detailed
Shellsnappers definitely a fun yet hard addition to the series. I tend to use the boom sticks when fighting it. That and acid bombs or traps really effective. Traps are pretty powerful in Forbidden West.
I usually start with cleaving arrows to get rid of weapons and armor. And then I plink it to death with my explosive spear. If I run out of those, I switch to whatever sharpshot arrow does the most tear...
It was my first time fighting a shell snapper just yesterday and it was the hardest fight I’ve ever had, even harder than my first time killing a thunder, jot in horizon zero dawn
I have a love hate relationship with the shellsnapper. I love it’s design and combat, however I hate fighting and dying to it. I had to keep fighting it to overcome my fear of it. Probably one of my most favourite machines in the horizon series. Definitely in the top tier list for my ranking.
Great series, you've got a new sub. So lvl 27 won lvl 42? xD The power of override. I wonder how much health the overriden machine had in the end of the fight?
This is very informative and helpful. However I raise you a different tactic: unga bunga me smash This tactic involves the player hitting any machine with their spear until the machine drops.
hey asp! something I've noticed is if you were to go to say "un" corrupt Shellsnapper say. go far to the right in that row of machine options and you will see one gold question mark, it says to go to more cauldrons even though you've completed them all!
It’s actually a glitch that still hasn’t been patched. It’s supposed to be for the Sunwing! I thought it might be a secret hidden machine but unfortunately not 😭
You mentioned that it has a plasma attack since that’s what the glowblast storage is for but I did not see any plasma attack in the combat overview. Could you provide a bit more information?
Sus cañones te siguen en todo momento,su caparazón acumula energía cinética a través del dínamo en su centro,y su boca es un cañón que se puede desplegar a partir de su rostro,dejando sus ojos en frente para poder apuntar y fijar mediante un láser,su vientre es un una reserva de agua refrigerante que probablemente enfríe su caparazón y dinamo cuando estén cargados,además de ser munición para las lanzadoras de hielo,y tiene dragas cómo las de la s tuneladoras para sumergirse bajo tierra,para mí ver esto es un espectáculo,y el diseño de sonido de sus motores cuando se mueve explosivamente o el de su ataque sónico,me hacen pensar que este juego no ya ganado premios,simplemente por qué no es tan popular como sus competidores,por qué el arte detrás de su elaboracion es bestial.
¡Gracias por tomarse el tiempo para escribir eso! ¡Grandes observaciones! También estoy de acuerdo, el trabajo que implica hacer estas maquinas es increíble. Realmente pensaron mucho en ello. Hablo muy poco español, así que utilicé una traductora para esto. ¡Espero que todo tenga sentido!
@@unknown_2552 aunque fueran puras incoherencias mi hermano,el que mi comentario haya hecho que me contestes,y en mi idioma,broooo!!! Me siento,cómo si hubiera ganado un garmmy.jajaja.
@@unknown_2552 constantly baiting with rumors and speculation to pump out as many videos as he can on the same exact topic, stretched to just the mark he needs to monetize it. I unsubbed after that nonsense got out of hand. Not to mention he's a Ubisoft shill now. You keep doin you though love these videos.
@@rocklee5x ahh I see! I try not to cover content that has already been covered by other creators. I will keep doing my best to produce unique content for my channel 😁 thanks again!
at this point you might as well turn this version of a channel solely for the horizon franchise.... for a time anyways. as a 3rd sequel is still....uncertainly too far from our current understanding right now. as currently the horizon games' solo-player experience state at the moment and not as a continuated type game like the Destiny franchise, etc we would get bored eventually Months after a DLC's lifespan too.
