How to beat Chieftain's Trial (Easy way) - Horizon Zero Dawn: Frozen Wilds Gameplay

Funniest thing is that if your RNG is good, one of the Bellowbacks (even both) will spawn right close to a logpile. You just hit the sack, it explodes and knocks the traps, almost insta kill 😂

I literally almost did it without logs on hard mode lol

I am soo disappointed in myself. There were logs there, and I had no clue.

Logs seems to be your best friend at this trial.
PS : I found a safest way to deal the Frostclaws : After entering the 3rd arena use as the video the logs and run left on the cliff, the Frostclaws don't follow you and you can kill them from a safe distance....

I dont get it. My frost claws will be right under the logs and they still only take about 10% of their health

the way the scorchers just stand there and eat it LMAO

Wow the first part really doesn't work for me ... I don't know if it's bad timing but the logs dont kill them whatsoever, especially the second one they barely scratch him.

HOW U DO THIS WITH THIS LOGS. I tried this several times but all the time this logs can’t kill this machines. What i supposed to do. Help :(

I've been trying this trial for 2 days. The scorchers don't go anywhere near the traps.

Oh fucking hell.

Why can’t I start this trial? Everytime I want to start she just talks and then they take me back to the 3 trial option

Noob dif

Thanks, got it first try after watching this. Really helpful.

Damn I didn’t know you was cool like that 😎

I gave in and changed difficulty to story mode and finished it.

Великолепно!

If you can, shoot off a mine launcher from one of the first scorchers while it is killed by the logs. You can use the launcher to then quickly kill the bellowbacks.

I FINALLY DID IT ON VERY HARD!!

You could also lure them under the logs and tie them down if you’re worried about missing.

Shoot and run until they get close and tie them down and shoot the logs. You can do it pretty damn fast if you’re aware of your surroundings.

For the 1st scorcher, point and shoot at the battery behind to make him explode which knocks the logs off causing them to fall on its weakpoints

That heavy aim assist... damn

Thanks 🗣️

How are you doing 1500 damage lol?

GENIUS!!

I tried this for 3 hours!!

I had a freak out and broke my controller!!

😢

How is your hard point doing so much damage? Even with three arrows in the thing it doesn’t do that much. What gives?

FUCK THIS TRIAL SIO FUCKING MUCH

how the hell are logs tougher than fucking explosives?

wtf the 1st machines don't die instantly from the logs i still have to shoot

edit: yah had to put it on normal, I was on hard mode

Meanwhile the developers: hmm that jump time freeze supposed to be when you jump off the mountain and attack. New generation of players these days takes advantage of every little thing we do.

😳😳😳😳

Ah, so the biggest challenge for me was I couldn't beat the 2 Scorchers head on in under 2 minutes ... using the log traps you did both in under 30 seconds 😅 Thanks

The upgraded Forgefire is really strong against the Frostclaws actually (the 2nd, fire bomb mode), you don't have to tough it out just with arrows. Soften them up with a few fire bombs and then lay in the arrows once that explodes a weak spot and puts them on fire.

Thanks for this. I've been doing my first run on Hard and I was absolutely baffled as to how this was supposed to be possible. Just the Daemonic Scorchers alone took a couple minutes to deal with trying to fight them directly. Never even noticed the log piles. Knocked the whole thing out with time to spare even though I flubbed the timing on the logs for one of the Frostclaws. Was able to kill it with about a minute left lol.

The scorcher part is pure bullshit the second one sees you when the first one dies

I hate how easy this actually was, well done though

I think that was just luck with the whole 28 second kill on both scorcher I can't get them to die that quickly must be set on easy mode or something

I don't know if it got patched or whatever but the logs won't fully kill the Scorchers anymore. I shot them just as you did, when they stop in their tracks. It still did like 80% of damage. Barebacks easy without the video. Frostclaws, same case. The logs don't do nearly as much damage as your video. Must've been patched. But still, the logs helped a ton for Scorchers. Those bastards are tough. If I had as good aim as you, probably could've finished around 4min mark. Finished with like seconds to spare.

Finished gold with less than a second left lol

Damn son

No fucking way in hell the freaking second dog will just stand there while the other one is dying and not do anything about it. Also this same fucking bitch of a dog will make a turn and start walking away from the log zone instead of waiting for you to shoot it. YOU PROBABLY FUCKING HACKED YOUR GAME. No fucking way. And the big ass dumb asses of the freaking gorillas will not let you just fight them one by one or even be far away from you the whole time. This fucking video should be deleted cuz it doesn’t fucking help at you. I hate you.

1600 damage??? How.

I feel like I used the "hard" strategy for this being oblivious to the log piles :D
on hard mode
1. 3shot the packs at the backs of scorchers, it stuns them, then frost arrow to freeze them, then 3shot the head to instantly kill them, if done from cover, the 2nd scorcher doesn't come charging in and you can repeat the same on it, takes 50-60 seconds

2. bellowback strat was the same
3. frostclaws, run in and slide duck on top of the island in the middle and use shock arrow (single is enough) to hit a power cell on the back of left frostclaw, 3shoot the shoulder and then the head, repeat on the right shoulder, basically max dps to it finish off, keep on jumping for time slow, IF he chargers you, you roll INTO him, he'll pass over and you'll avoid all damage, if done right, you can then turn around quickly and use shock arrow (have to change while sliding) to hit another power cell and stun it etc, I think I finished at around 4min mark with this tactic, ropes are useful to disengage and gain some distance
if you aggro both - it isn't the end of the world, just keep constantly moving, I didn't even use any special resistance armor, just had the med pouch full just in case they got lucky, more than a few times they got very lucky and comboed me 100>0 :))
the tactic to roll into the frostclaw IMHO very useful later with the fireclaw inside one of the mountain, that space there had nowhere to disengage and was a painful fight to learn to beat... later fighting them outside was almost like easy mode in comparison, and fireclaws have lots of power cells on their back, 8 of them, I used all of them 1 by 1 to stun it during that fight

I love how this says "the easy way" when none of the logs hit perfectly like this video. They don't even go near them to fully kill them lmfao

Thanks for the strat. Worked like a charm on hard.
