I'll just complete the game with what I have,

This. Hover over 'em with marker on the map and it'll tell you which one it is. A shame there isn't one which sells rare animal parts! ( :cry: I never did get my raccoon skin.)

Don't think I've seen it use that?


Apparently it's its backup if you blow off its chest weapon and wing contraptions!

You can see it when you manually save, couldn't find it in the stats myself.

That Deathbringer fight in the Grave-Hoard :dread: strawberry floating hell.

Hit it and it shoots the floor out so Aloy just plummets to her death. Then I have to skip the cutscene all over again :|

I always found the fights with those a bit on the easy side. I certainly never found them as hard as Rockbreakers or Stormbirds which I avoided like the plague.

Cool, yeah, cool. They're tedious, is what they are. Is there a strategy I'm missing or what? Took about nine tear arrows to take it's stupid Swarm launcher off. Just... dull. Hope there aren't that many of them as it goes on :dread:

Going for it's weaponry is a waste of time and ammo. Make it overheat then hit the cooling things that pop out... or in other words hit it's weak point for massive damage.

Deathbringer troubles? Firebombs and mobility. (Keep circling it.)

Don't bother trying to tear its guns off.

Endgame spoiler: Good luck with the finale.

Used my free £10 PSN credit towards this last night. Left it downloading overnight so hope to get into it at some point over Easter. Looking forward to seeing these 4k graphics on my telly

So I've found some "evidence" of this "Kong" DLC my mate was talking about. Here's the link:

Unfortunately, from what I've seen, it looks like a photoshop job and not a particularly good one at that, ah well. :(

I just hit it with fire arrows over and over, then used precision arrows to hit it's cooling rods. It was really easy once I'd taken out all of the minions.

Finished with Platinum - just a shade under 77 hours.
Great game. It almost triggered my 'open world fatigue' syndrome a couple of times (still not finished GTA 5, Just Cause 3, Sleeping Dogs, Witcher 3 - I could go on and on) but it's testament to the brilliant story that I ploughed through and loaded it up on those occasions when I felt like I couldn't be arsed to walk to locations or harvest resources.
I've already deleted it; no way I'll play it again unless there's decent DLC. But I'll be day one for the sequel.
Well done Guerrilla. The sales and accolades are well-deserved.

There's something about Sony open world games that just captivate me, they make the world so fun to explore and move around in.

The only game I platinumed which didn't just require me to finish it was Second Son. And Now I'm going to platinum this <3

Almost 70% into this now and it's been bloody fantastic. I'll platinum this for sure. :datass:

I think I'm on the last quest but I'm exploring the side quests to finish them off first and it's been an awesome journey from the beginning.

I've managed to get the ancient suit and it's pretty useful I say. :datass:

Aloy. :wub:

And... I've completed it. What a game this is! :wub:

I'll post my final verdict later.
