Then it should make more sense to you.
Hologram recording in GAIA PRIME, Elisabet wears the ancient armor to repair the seal and is thus locked outside.
It's been happening all week and it's only an issue with Horizon afaik.
If you port the clip to sharefactory, you'll be able to upload it. Alternatively, copy it to a usb drive and upload it via a computer.

I have only gotten to play about an hour or two for about 4 nights since release thanks to a new job that has me working way too many hours, but seriously this game so far is just great. I feel like the variety is way better than any other open world game I have played for how early on I am.
Yeah, there is the whole annoying collect resources aspect (luckily it is fast and it almost always responds to me pressing triangle before I get prompted to do so), but besides that, so far I really feel like I have not repeated anything at all yet. Just hit Level 13 and in no particular order I have

Other than that, I really feel like it has been pretty damn varied, and more important fun. Albeit it I am still early on as a Level 13, but I also feel like that means I have not seen anything yet as far as the machines themselves.
Just a really well made game it seems for those of us who enjoy the genre. I am hoping this weekend I get to put in a solid 3-4 hour session so I can get in a groove. I have already maxed out a few of my capacity cases as well (weapons, resources and quivers) and am very close to maxing out two more (potions and outfits), so that also means I have done a pretty damn decent amount of just general hunting.

- Did the whole proving mission
- Taken out a Bandit Camp
- Taken out a Cultist camp with corrupted machines
- Done a skills challenge (The Destroy Machines With Boxes)
- Climbed To The Top Of A Tall Ass Machine out of Half Life 2
- Done Several Side Missions none of which I was bored with.

scan for tracks and follow them.

I have the same problem. I don't know what can be done about it.

Haven't finished the main story yet.
Also.... Manage to get 4 batteries without any help.
This game is just awesome. I gave up 4 times and never finished The Witcher 3. But this is amazing. The gameplay is so good.
I already have a way to kill every enemy (except those ground things, they are very tricky) and every time is so satisfying to nail a Thunderjaw

I love that a bunch of the nora quests's dialogue is altered if you wait to do them until later in the story. I imagine this is sprinkled everywhere but I still haven't completed clearing out the nora's content.
Closing to the end now and I can safely say this is one of the best games I played and one I will always remember next to games like Shadow of the Colossus.
One of my favorite things about this game is how it lets you explore areas you discover new without throwing bullshit enemy encounters at you like Uncharted does. That made the game so much more enjoyable and immersive for me. In uncharted you would break into this place nobody has ever been in a thousand years and five steps in you would run into bad guys "who broke in from a tunnel" or some bullshit. Always hated that.
Story is absolutely stellar too, absolutely impressed with how it is told and the quality of writing and acting in the voice files and texts you find.
Hats off to guerilla.

Wow that's a neat touch
I put all purple tears on my sharpshooter bow for the sonic boom arrow it shaves everything off a robot in one-two hits. Dmg is better for the main bow.

My mistake. I thought it did I just finished up the game and it doesn't really, not in the way I initially thought.
--
I finished the game with 60 hours on the clock. Phew, what a fucking ride. Yea the combat is great but holy shit, I'm blown away by how smart the story, world building and lore ended up being.
Aloy is fantastic. Combat is top notch, music is great and it's a visual marvel. Game of the gen so far for me which honestly I absolutely was not expecting going in.
One of the few open world games where I didn't get tired of the core combat loop 20-30 hours in and I can just jump around, kill stuff and have fun.
9.5/10 if I had to rate it. There's a lot of stuff I could easily point to as requests for the sequel and just general improvements/fixes but I don't think that hurts the excellent package already present. I absolutely cannot wait a sequel! It's just a stunning new IP with an interesting world, great set of characters and IMO, the hard part for a game like this, the core combat, already executed upon to such a fantastic level.

I think you can buy Snapmaw hearts from a seller in Meridian. I've never had too many problems with loot drops, but I do have Scavenger and Scavenger +, so maybe it helps?

Depends on the bow.
Hunter bow - more damage.
Sharpshot bow - more tear.
War bow - neither.
The other vendor is just around the corner.
Yep, same problem. Sadly I just gave up and used Dailymotion.

Just a word of warning - there are some towns you never have to visit that have sidequests that you apparently can't do after you start the "end game". IT's annoying because I just lost 1-2 hours of gameplay and have to replay the whole sequence again if I want to do those quests.

It's RNG.
Oh ok word guys that actually makes more sense. It was for the main Bow yeah. Lol.
Really? Damn, I must of switched off during some dialogue when they mention it. Do you get anything worthwhile? Just completed, platted then deleted the game so I can't go find out!
Which bow? On the regular shadowhunter bow go tear.
Quick firing hardpoint arrows that will tear parts off in 1 or 2 shots is the best or unlock tinker and play around with it.
Shadow Hunter. I bought it pretty early and it's ripped through stuff but right now I just unlocked Tinker and was re arranging mods. Hardpoint Arrows destroy stuff.
I'm sure this has been complained about a hundred times, but I just started and it's frustrating that with all the customization options you can't turn off the floating quest markers. Should've been at the top of the list. Otherwise the dynamic HUD is great. I've always wanted something like this in more games.

Nah not really.
You want to go 3 Tear mods on the shadowhunter bow because
1. Hardpoint arrows + Mods do more Tear damage then Tear Arrows without mods.
2. Hardpoint arrows are much cheaper then tear arrows
3. You can rapidfire the Shadowhunter bow extremely quickly.
The Sharpshooter bow you can also go Tear or Damage mods, but its a situational weapon. You wont need it much in any encounter vs Robots.
Sounds OP. And that's a good thing.
But yeah I only really use ShartShot against humans in a stealth situation from a distance.

Wow glad I'm not the only 1 with a YouTube issue!!
Got a question how would people feel if the sequal added 3 or 4 unique boss fights?
As in things you only come across that time only
The game does have the DeathBringer where you fight it a couple of times in missions only which is nice.
Like the game already has Psuedo boss battles which did the game just fine.
But for a sequal I'd be interested in seen them do proper boss fights not a lot and have the Psuedo boss battles in between

It fires shock, ice and corruption arrows.
Would seem like a waste. If all that effort is going into making cool giant robot bosses then you may as well reuse them. Especially in a boss rush type leadup to the final boss.

They're shock,freeze and corruption (only shadow though) arrows. You use the former two to ignite sparker and freeze canisters respectively

Use harvest arrows.
Keep going. They are more common in Meridian forst and western area.
Son of a bitch, thats where those arrows are. Is there a shadow warbow then? If so where?

in the quarry. Pain in the ass fight until I heard Aloy say I should quiet down, lol. I think I'd even read that on here earlier. I was not expecting the fight right then though. Killed that bastard with a sweet finishing blow
. Damn I love this game.
Rockbreaker
slow motion shot to the fuel sac as he was breaching high up in the air - ending him in a massive explosion
War Bow - 2 or 3 frost mods can instantly freeze most enemies with a tripleshot, if you're not one to cheese the Corruption mechanic.
Freeze the Fire Bellowbacks with a sling (one or 2 bombs should do) or war bow and then shoot their dorsal sac with high damage arrows (precision if you don't have tear) until it explodes. If it is still up, then refreeze and then repeat with its gullet (throat area) sac.
