'HORIZON FORBIDDEN WEST': 8 ESSENTIAL TIPS THE GAME DOESN'T TELL YOU
0'Horizon Forbidden West': 8 essential tips the game doesn't tell you
Horizon Forbidden West might be one of the most complex games of 2022. and that means there are many opportunities for seriously important concepts to get swept under the rug as you chart your course through the campaign. Beyond the game’s seemingly never ending list of tutorials. here are eight tips beginners should keep in mind as you battle some truly vicious beasts. 8. Quick Save versus Manual Save The sequel makes it very clear that Horizon Forbidden West features the same campfire based save system used in Horizon Zero Dawn. but it doesn’t fully explain the list of options once you get there. You’ll see the option to use a Quick Save or a Manual Save. but what does each one do? In simple terms. the Quick Save is essentially an instant overwrite of a single save slot that Forbidden West uses by default to save the game. This one save will function fine for most folks. but true RPG fanatics who like to set up multiple saves during pivotal plot moments should use the Manual Save option instead. It allows you to create multiple save points and overwrite the ones you no longer need. The Quick Save. on the other hand. will just keep on rolling. 7. Keep an eye on your medicine pouch The virtues of medicinal berries are one of the first tips you learn in Horizon Forbidden West. so it’s easy to disregard them once you get deeper into the machine smashing gameplay loop. Keep an eye on that X/14 that’s visible on the left hand side of the UI. as that tells you how many health recharges you have left. Before entering any combat situation. do your best to ensure you’re completely maxed out. To find more berries. look for the areas with tall. red grass. Typically any area with machines will have a few berries to keep you somewhat supplied. but you shouldn’t get in the habit of relying on the environment in front of you for health all the time. Otherwise. you’ll end up stranded like me and be forced to sprint for your Stash in fear of your life. Check your berry count when traveling between missions. I never let mine get below 10 after making that initial mistake. and that kept me alive through most of the game. 6. Don’t forget to look up This may sound a bit elementary. but there are definitely a few similar quest design patterns in Forbidden West. One mainstay that crops up time and time again is Aloy being forced to find an alternate entrance to an area that’s otherwise inaccessible. If you ever get stuck on any puzzles of this nature. our best tip is to remember to look up. There are lots of mechanics in this game that leverage verticality including the Pullcaster. grapple points. and vents in high up places. Turn on your Focus and take a gander at the sky to see if you notice anything. Chances are you’ll find a highlighted piece of equipment that was out of your immediate field of view. 5. The Warrior and Survivor trees are good In the days and weeks after launch. you’ll likely see lots of coverage about the bow mechanics of Forbidden West. but its developers at Guerilla Games spent lots of time improving Aloy’s melee skills too. To take full advantage of those enhancements. we’d advise taking a second look at the Warrior and Survivor skill trees to ensure your character fights like a beast from up close. The Warrior tree offers exclusive combos. higher damage output from your staff with each hit. and increased damage while performing Critical Strikes after a machine gets knocked down. Being a good Warrior also has benefits for the bow as well. as it improves Resonator Boosts. These are special combos in which you charge up enemies through melee attacks and then finish them off with a single bow shot. It’s a highly versatile maneuver. If you’re fighting at a reduced range. it also helps to have a fast recovery. access to more recovery items. and better health performance during critical moments. The Survivor tree offers all that and more. 4. Valor Surges are awesome and important One of the...
