Horizon Zero Dawn : The Frozen Wilds |OT|Red Head Redemption 2
- Thread starter Radec
- Start date
When you start Frozen Wilds on new game + on Ultra Hard fighting the first machine in the game, then trying to lower the difficulty, but the game wont allow it. To make things worse, I was completely rusty. I died like 7 times to the first machine. I never died that much to any machine in the main game before. Every machine I've encountered are so aggressive.

Lol you guys are making me nervous about hopping back in now. I started a NG+ on ultra hard when that patch dropped and got maybe half way through the campaign and put the game down. So, hopefully I'll be alright level wise going into the DLC.When you start Frozen Wilds on new game + on Ultra Hard fighting the first machine in the game, then trying to lower the difficulty, but the game wont allow it.

Ha, that's pretty much what I did in the first game and now in the DLC. The machines seem more harder to take down.
I'm level 50 with the armor and my ass is still getting kicked on Normal.
Is the new quest that's just north of Meridian part of the DLC? Didn't realise you would get quests outside the new area.
Edit. Ignore that, all disappear once you go to one to get the Into The Frozen Wilds.

Just jumped into this expansion today and holy hell I forgot how impressive this game is through and through. It's an amazing achievement in so many respects. Wow, the game is just crazy good.
Definitely one of the best games of this console generation for me and perhaps even in my top 10 of all time. Absolutely a crowning master piece.

Yeah, realized how rusty I was when I died like 5 times to the first machine. Wrapped my grad back around it though. The controls are so good.
There are three starting "quest givers," one being outside of Meridian, so it could have been him.
Technical rather than plot spoiler
There's parts where there's light snow that has settled on water. If you move through the water, the snow "melts", but it's entirely reactive to the point I was able to leave a single flake in tact.
Fighting with scorcher is wonderful. What a beast...
I didn't fight the bear robot yet. Anybody did? Is it hard?
Just a question from the story of the main game. Does anyone know which year the apocalypse happened? I remember 2065 or something. and what is the year of the main game? Zero Day+300 years? I can't remember exactly.

Not really, it's more focused on the Banuk tribes (who live in the eponymous frozen wilds).
Video is even better. Thanks! And I'm also impressed by that. Love these kinds of details in games.
Also starts to slowly fill in again after a while, but not in a line behind you, it sort of narrows along the path you've made. It looks like they paid as much attention to snow on the water as they did on the ground. I jumped off a high ledge and died and the snow was impacted from where I fell and, because I died, I rolled slightly and that flattened the snow as well. So many tiny details.
Confused by this — should I download the DLC and have it embedded into my current playthrough or can I just beat the game and play the DLC in post-game.
The recommended level is just confusing me because I thought the DLC was standalone content. If that's not the case then I guess I'll download it now if it just loads a whole new area unto my map
"Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds is the Dark Souls: Artorias of the Abyss of Open World games"
*punches himself in the face*
It's recommended level 30 for the DLC, it basically adds another area, so can be done at, seemingly, any time. I just loaded up my completed save at level 50. Anyone who got platinum in the base game would be level 50.
Quick question, sorry if this has been answered before. If I buy this and then start a new game of Horizon Zero Dawn, do I immediately get access to the new tech tree? I haven't played Horizon since like the week after launch, and only had a few hours into it, so I want to just start a new game and was curious if it's worth just getting this from the get go.
New Frozen Wilds gameplay spoiler question? It's an early one and not a big deal but spoilering just in case
Is there any benefit to leaving the Control Posts overridden as opposed to destroying them? or is it just an XP thing where it's better to override and then destroy?
I had like 40 skill points saved up through NG+ and I just unlocked the entire new skill tree at once.
You need the main game installed. It just adds an extra area to the map and you can still access everything from before.
Scorchers were tricky at first, but I'm getting the hang of them. I'm loving all of the new machines so far.
I feel like it took me all of Horizon to finally get good at the combat. What I'm trying to say is: I think I need to replay Horizon before getting into the Frozen Wilds.
Nah. Granted I'm only level 45, but the DLC is still quite hard.
Ya due to some ways the game changes things up its harder than the original at the same level. Still won't be uber hard for some or anything.
Sadly, yes, but I don't really want to do a new game to get to the point you can access the new DLC. I'm happy enough to experience the content and then go back and do everything in New Game +.
Not feeling this DLC so far. Only 2 hrs in though.
I left this game super powerful - not entirely sure what happened in the meantime, but my bows basically don´t do any damage anymore and my Shield Weaver armor is broken.
Don´t feel like I´m picking up where I left.

What level are you? I went in at 50 and am basically wrecking all round me.
Max level I guess. Not sure what that is, but I did get the platinum.
Got shredded on the initial Scorcher fight but found my rhythm again soon after.
Glad to see the Shield Weaver got nerfed. Took some excitement out of fights as it was OP'ed previously.
