re: Horizon Zero Dawn

Boom Platinum.

A few of them were pretty tough, like the ones with Ravangers and Thunderjaws

I just did these last night. Tough as hell but probably the most fun I've had playing the game so far and that's saying a lot.

I was just randomly walking by that particular trial and was about to shut it down for the night. I see Ravager vs Thunderjaw and figured I'd give it a shot. Needless to say....I was not prepared.

This game is a really easy platinum btw. I did everything except for knocking over the training dummies on accident.

I didn't dive into them too much, so maybe I missed this, but is there a quick restart to the trials, or do you always have to go back to the main guy?

I'm at 47 so shouldn't have a hard time getting to cap. The last bit I leveled up like 3 times so maybe I'll just do that again.

Probably another reason I hated doing it.

Finally finished the trials at the first area and went to Meridian to finish that quest line. That was a lot of fun. Hoping the other hunting trials are not as frustrating as that one. For some dumb reason I was having the hardest time doing the log roll challenge. I'd either not be able to trigger them in time or the machines wouldn't go where I was trying to lead them.

Got to 50, halfway through finding all the training dummies (in the process found another village I missed and two more side quests). I'll do the trials last and then re-do the final mission to get platinum.


Side note on the side quests (SWIDT?), the one I started last night seemed like a typical fetch quest at first, go to these two posts and bring back this flower, but I go, nothing is there, so it tells you to go back to the quest giver. I had to log off then, but I know it's going to open up another layer to it and that's what I love about these. I don't get the complaining from some here about Horizon's side quests. I really haven't been bored with any of them and wish there were more. I can see myself starting another playthrough after platinum.

I should put more effort into the mods. I quit messing with them at some point and my inventory is full of purples.


Interestingly enough, I've never had a weapon that fires ice arrows. Haven't avoided them, just never came across one. Sell all of those crafting materials constantly.
