HORIZON FORBIDDEN WEST GUIDE: 11 TIPS AND TRICKS YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU PLAY
0Horizon Forbidden West guide: 11 tips and tricks you need to know before you play
Horizon Forbidden West is here and it's huge! Here are 10 tips and tricks that you absolutely need to know before you play. As you can read in our Horizon Forbidden West review. this is a near perfect sequel and (in my opinion) PlayStation’s version of Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild. While you will learn a lot of the ropes via tutorials. there are some things that aren’t so clear. That’s where we come in. So. while you wait for that massive install to finish. take a read through our list of 10 Horizon life hacks that will ensure you are the best Aloy possible. 1. Stock up on fast travel packs The Forbidden West is absolutely massive. Running from one end to the other will take you about an hour. I know. because I tried. It takes a while! While it’s a beautiful landscape to explore. sprinting over a mile round trip to do a fetch quest can get a little tedious. There are many campfires all over the place that you can fast travel from for free (provided you’ve visited them before). but the increased number doesn’t really make up for the sheer vastness of the landscape. Keep your fast travel packs stocked up from traders. so in these moments you can get back and complete whatever epic quest you are on with haste. 2. Keep your stash topped up One of the most welcome new additions to the sequel of Aloy’s adventure is the stash: a chest in every settlement that contains everything you pick up but are unable to carry because of pack limits. The easiest materials to find are ridge wood sticks and metal shards. which. given how many arrows you will go through in the course of this game. is great to back up in your stash. But probably the most important item are medicinal berries. Much like Zero Dawn. Machines can wipe out your health fast and once you get further and further out into barren deserts. they become hard to find. Having a big stash of these will be very helpful in the latter stages of the game. Especially when the difficulty spikes. 3. Pay attention to any ladders you can kick down This is a small trick. but one that can make the difference between a small mistake and a huge. drastic error that sends you back a long way. With the new climbing mechanics and the grappling hook. Guerilla Games has added some great platforming sections that combine with some unique puzzles for additional depth to the exploration. Once you get past each big section. the devs usually give you a way to get back up there easily if you make a mistake. In some sections. this is a ladder you can kick down. You’re going to want to look for those. as if you do fall off without lowering the ladder. you have no choice but to make the embarrassingly slow walk back to the beginning of that section to do the whole thing all over again. 4. Your grappling hook is your friend The grappling hook may not be as freeform as the hook in Halo Infinite. but it does add an additional tactical layer to combat and a new way to traverse terrain. It’s especially effective in combat for sure. That extra verticality can create some space between you and those extra aggressive machines — giving you some precious time to either refill your medicinal berries or pop off some shots. Most areas of combat will feature at least one of these. so always be on the lookout for a circle and dot for these ledges and poles. 5. Don’t skip Machine Strike and Melee Pits Machine Strike brings some serious Gwent vibes to the Forbidden West. and provides an almost chess esque board game that can make for a warmly welcomed break in the chaos. Not only that. but it is a metaphorical gold mine of special items and shards. so take the time to learn the game and play it as you pass through every settlement. Alongside this. you can kill some time in the Melee Pits. which give you access to learn special moves and combos. plus a safe space to practice against the variety of human enemy types in practice mode. The challenges are a big source of XP. as you fight...
