Generally takes multiple ropes. They won't fall over and get rooted until the debuff icon above their head is full.
Other enemies can also break the ropes, or at least it seems that way.

Oh okay. Whew. Good to know. I was worried because someone earlier was saying how they hope the Sun King doesn't turn out bad or something because he seems like a good guy. And your comment just put that in my head and thought you were saying he wasn't who we expected him to be (a good guy).
Now I can go on confident that I don't know how it will turn out.
My bad. Your comment wasn't a spoiler. I just interpreted it the wrong way.LastMinuteHero

Some robos you need to shoot more than one ropecaster at it. There's a bar you need to fill up
I need to look out for the cauldrons, have only found the first one. Had one side mission that pretty much made me travel the entire width of the map and back again. The fast travel came out for that one..
Thanks for the rope info - will keep an eye out for the gauge
This game is so good! Took my sweet time getting to Meridian, but it's definitely been worth it after doing several of the side quest from there. I love how amazing and full of depth that a lot of the side missions have. Aloy's story really does feel like a small part of this bigger world, which is something a lot of open word games fail at in my opinion. I actually care about the side quest, the stories, and the characters. I've once again put off the main quest to do other stuff, not to level up or be a completionist, but because I am actually interested in these people and their stories. That rarely happens to me in open world games, or at least to this degree.
I'm still having so much fun with the combat as well, which is another thing that can wear out it's welcome in open world games sometimes. Actually, I find myself enjoying the combat more and more as I go through the game. I've gotten into some really tough fights, and they are so satisfying when you get through them. Being able to override more of the robots has become one of my favorite things to do. I love watching them fight and it definitely helps out to have a few on my side going up against the harder robots. Having two of the more difficult robots fight each other is really cool to watch as well. I was in a huge fight with four sawtooths and some longlegs and after getting a sawtooth on my side, we tore the rest of them up and it was such a blast to do. I really can't say enough good things about this game, I'm just blown away by it and I enjoying it so much.

Just found the the Days 10, 11 and 12 Vantages.
This game is trying hard to depress me.

If you are running and you pick up a resource when the icon appears, you will continue running. Good to know.

Also you get access to stronger ropecasters later on that require fewer ropes per knockdown. And yes, super useful later on when dealing with the big stuff.

Aye. The Lodge Ropecaster + triple 40+% handling coils is probably the most ridiculous weapon in the game. I had to turn the difficulty up from hard to very hard after getting that setup.
"It's already pretty late. I'll just jump in and do the quest I started I the other day. This 'Cauldron' thing is only level 8 so it should be fast."
lol. That was not what I was expecting.
As an aside, are there any critters that are particularly good at dropping loads of wire? I thought I had tons of everything with my continually getting sidetracked, but suddenly I'm down to 5 wire. :x

Got the platinum trophy earlier today, took about 55 hours. Such an amazing game , easily one of my favorites in recent years.

You can remove the quest marker by toggling off any mission that is currently active.

I like Oseram series more, simple and practical design, no ridiculous head gear.
It made me laugh, here's this
disguise in case you need to head back there at any point but you're the only one with red hair around but don't worry, no one will ever know because this mask covers have your face.

Aloy seems to find it annoying but I'm personally thrilled to have
Lance Reddick yelling in my ear for the latter half of the game
Wouldn't call the purple Oseram one simple or practical though, looks like a bomb squad outfit
But yeah, I wish you could turn off head gear on the outfits.

Actually most machines drop wire, but I've found hunting the smaller ones is a more efficient way of farming wire as they go down faster and have fewer other things they can drop.
So Watchers, Scrappers, Striders, Broadheads, Chargers, Grazers and Lancehorns. Those are either fairly easy to dispatch or won't put up as much of a fight. I've had good luck with wire from Shell walkers, but they're annoying enough to fight that I wouldn't go after them solely for the purposes of farming wire (you could farm them for shards though, selling mods from their shells).

I think it's really cool how you can spec yourself for raw dps, elemental debuffs, stealth and traps, or any combination thereof. I'm mulling over the thought of maining slingshots too just for the hell of it.
Kinda silly to use heavy smithed metals in a world where specially forged light weight metals and materials are freely available (off hunted animals) though
I'm loving the western side of the map, the locations are amazing
and there are far more threats than on the eastern side, no time to catch your breath when you're exploring
My main complaint maybe is the fact than human enemies have a greater presence as well, yesterday I did
(desert, deep jungle...)

Had this before. I ended up synching it in my Google account on the PC since the ps4 didnt want to do it. Works flawless ever since.

30 hrs in and barely started the game. This game is soo good. I never thought I'd say thing but this game restores my faith in open world games. Why can't they all be this well done?

Buying this later. Hope I will enjoy it
The balance, imo, lies in never having too many things to do (such that it feels like a chore/work) nor having too little to do (such that it feels shallow). The only issue I have quest wise is that I feel tutorials should proc even if they aren't set as active.

Finally did a couple of main story missions last night and the story kicked in big time. :O I think I can kind of predict where it's going so hopefully there will be a few twists and surprises but it is really interesting. The journey to get to these missions is a great story in itself. Almost 32 hours in, same level I think. I kinda feel like doing more side quests and Cauldrons before continuing, maybe finish off things on the Nora side.
Also the soundtrack is one of the best I've ever heard.

I might need to take a break. Walking to work and there was a little street cleaning truck slowly rolling along the pavement, with its little yellow spinning brushes up front and yellow warning lights on. Just for a moment I imagined it as a machine from horizon. Reckon a silent strike would have taken it down in one hit

Suppose it's effectively a scrapper so yeah, OHKO

The game started really slow for me and even a fair few hours in it didn't completely click with me. The open world, combat and story didn't really stand out in any way. It was looking like a 7/10 initially. But after a while the game just hit me and as I got better weapons like the tear bow and the game world was opening up, I really started to enjoy it.
Now I've pretty much done the majority of side quests and collectibles and finally heading back into the story (which Id left for about 20hrs), it's gripping me in even more.
I really love the game now and it certainly could end up with a 9/10 for me.

With Cheese.
There is a stack of boulders close to the west side of the outer wall where one can stand behind at snipe at it without concern. It can't dig at you nor hit you with rocks.
I ended up doing the level 32 corrupted zone at level 23 with two of them a similar way next to a camp site. Hue hue hue.
I like the carja blazon and shiel weaver armors the best.

The only things I leave on are the compass and stealth icon. Everything else is dynamic.
Compass only, final destination!
I am using the HDR standard mode with colour at 58, all post processing turned off and colour gamut set to normal. color gamut wide must be wrong for this game since everything turns super red (just look at a fireplace during night with wide turned on and you see what I mean. I find it almost perfect, however I do get some black crush in darker scenes were details are lost. If anyone has a fix for the black crush in horizon on a b6, feel free to post you settings =)

Hey GAF; Just so you know. This game is soooo gooooood. I'm hooked and I haven't been hooked on a game in ages.

I love it too and I have hated most open world games in the last 3-4 years. The story chips along at a good pace, but the side quests are generally fun to engage with. I just love the combat. It can be quite demanding, which is a surprise coming from an open world action rpg.

You never played Skyrim I take it.

The main Shadow Hunter bow is the one you'll probably use the most because of the hardpoint arrows. I would get that first, then she Sharpshooter for the Tear arrows, and you're basically set for the rest of the game.

Hey can someone help me? I'm at
the Maker's End quest and after the platform has fallen down, I'm not sure where to go. I tried climbing back up and there was only a supply box. Am I missing something?
