They nuked them and dropped buildings on them, but that only destroyed some of them.

God dammit, it kinda sucks that I can't have 1 on 1 fights easily. I just found a Behemoth and I want to fight it, but he's surrounded by another Behemoth and two or three Longlegs.
They should've really made it so you can fight 1 on 1 easier...

There was one of the military logs - IIRC it was the round-table holographic discussion? - where they mentioned going in with EMPs, yeah, but as someone else pointed out the replication rate and sheer numbers it was a lost cause. The EMP was mentioned as part of the Zero Dawn delaying tactic.

Just went and faced my first stormbird. Expected it to be hard, but was actually pretty easy. They seem to get stunned rather quick.

they gave you a 1 point skill that lets you whistle at them and draw them away from everything else

Yup, only the enemy you're directly looking at will heed your lure call. The others will either ignore it or lose interest quickly and not pursue.they did... they actually made it really really easy.

In my case it's because I haven't finished it yet. I peek in and then leave before I spoil it lol
actually it's just the centered one, even if everything is looking at you only one will respond as long as you only push the whistle once.
or at least that was my experience and what the skill itself says.

So I'm supposed to kite them with my whistling until they're isolated enough?
Okay then, haha.
So I saw a corrupted zone with "level 23" written on it.
Alright, I'm level 25, why not have a go?
Went there and saw a Stalker. Fair enough, hard battle but I can take it...
I deplete his health to a third, when another one comes...Ok, it's hard but I can do this!
killed the first one, took the second one's health to a half when another one comes and bam I'm dead. Tried it a couple more times and died over and over until I just ragequit.
tl;dr wtf do I do against Stalkers??? I first use the Tear arrows to get their range weapons off, and then hardpoint on weak spots...but it doesn't seem to be working that well.
I have the shadow carja sharpshot bow and the shadow carja hunter bow, the carja sling (which I never use) and the carja tripcaster.

yup. if you want a one on one match it's not that hard to do.
and if you want to make human combat trivial also just whistle them to a bush and sneak attack them
the whistle is quite powerful.
corrupted zone...
burn burn burn burn burn.
>.>
as for stalkers in general,
I used a tear arrow to take away their cloak and then rope caster to get them down and then used my crit hit against it (or just bashed it with my stick)
they are smaller so it only takes 2-3 ropes with the stronger ropecaster to get them down for a while.

They're weak to shock, you'll either need to either hide and rig the area with shock tripwires, or use shock bombs from your sling to stun them. You should buy a blast sling too (which has different ammo to the standard sling), it's the fastest method of doing a lot of damage without needing much accuracy. I stun them and spam blast bombs at them, though fire bombs from the normal sling should work even better against corrupted ones.
I thought slings were useless too, until someone here said that holding R2 increases the distance you can throw.

Alright, I'll try it out!
Do you look up what to do for the platinum online or can you look up that stuff ingame? Because I guess some trophies are hidden, aren't they?

He was such a goddamn badass! I was so pissed off at the Nora, ha. Between his backstory and Aloy's, I'm looking forward to replaying the opening of the game sometime with both in mind.
Tate was glorious. Not since the original Bioshock has a game done such a good job with audio logs and bringing characters to life. Horizon's audio logs were a lot more distressing and depressing, though - hilariously, Bioshock's retrospectively feel downright cheery in comparison.

Stalkers become trivial once you've geared up to fight them.
How I've dealt with almost every Stalker I've encountered....
Tear Blast Arrow
to knock off their cloak (center of their body underneath).
to separate them / pin them down.
to proc Fire Damage and put them in their fire reaction state (the fire dance).
(to knock them down) and critical him them when they're down to finish each one off. Helps tremendously if you've upgraded your melee knockdown power.

I am reallly hoping for a Rost based DLC pack. The dialogue on his back story was very lengthy and detailed.
And the southerner in me keeps calling him "roast" lol

Shock, I think its about 2 shock bombs and they cant move for awhile. Then simply critical hit or ropecast them down and attack.

So is HZD the most diverse and inclusive game this gen, if not ever? GG deserves some very serious praise in this regard.

I found a downed behemoth that had clan fighting a shell thing. Killed the easy stuff and looted everything. Got two very rare modifications from the behemoth.
Saved at a campfire then moved on but died shortly later. I respawned at the campfire near the downed behemoth and, to my surprise, the little event had reset. I quickly realized I had a nice little farming location.
Long story short, I have an inventory full of very rare modifications!

That feeling when you just want to override a Charger and be on your way, but then the other 3 charge at you, and then 2 Sawtooths jump into the fight, and then you corrupt them and think you're safe while you make your escape until you're ambushed by a pack of Stalkers
-.-

I have put over 80 hrs into this game on PS4 Pro and still find it amazing how this game looks.
Even more so since that gif come from normal PS4.

I love Arrow but Bro most people won't even know who that is let only thinking that she is the reason the Arrow is successful. She is also a character in a TV show not a game.

I just recorded 15 mins of awesome gameplay (setting up traps and killing my second ever Thunderjaw and right after that I set up traps and killed a herd of tramplers, all perfect kills basically.)
Unfortunately it looks like complete ass because I had HDR enabled.

Am I right in thinking that the stealth only works when you are in tall grass? It feels like I can't really use the rest of the environment (walls, trees, ect...) to hide from guys.
Just beat the game. Got to knock down the last couple of those stupid dummies and I believe I have the platinum. Damn fine game. Some little issues here and there and a lot of quality of life things they can improve with a patch if they really wanted to go the extra mile like CDPR did with the Witcher 3. Still it was an engrossing game that devoured my last week and a half to the detriment of most everything else in my life.
Edit: Damn this credit scene is long and its not just scrolling text text. Its been going for minutes and minutes now. Someone spent a lot of time on these!

You can only hide completely hidden in the grass, but you can use objects to break LOS and sneak around them for stealth attacks so long as they are tall enough.

Gotcha. Doesn't always feel that way, but the dino behavior can be so erratic that it's hard to get a read, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. I'm liking the stealth so far though it could stand to be a little tighter.
You eventually can get mods that will also increase your stealth rating so if you stack a few of those you can run right in front of enemies not too far from them and they won't notice you.

yeah that happened to me too - recorded some video then went to view it and i was like "EEWWWWWW".
i wish they would find a way to embed HDR in video, or find a way to make it SDR on the fly
