Anyway, this has probably been asked before, and the answer is probably no but just in case: Is it possible to replay only the final quest on a harder difficulty to unlock the face paints or do you need to beat the entire game?
Also, has anyone encountered the bug where the day/night cycle gets stuck and time controls become unavailable? This happened to me the other day. I had to replay The Looming Shadow (and the quest that comes after) in order to resolve the issue. According to reddit, this is a temporarily fix but GG is aware. Hopefully the next patch address the issue.
So I played after the patch and my day/night cycle wasn't fixed and I was rather bummed. I fucked around a bit and did some hunting grounds quests and other side-quests (like the one to upgrade the special weapons) and... at some point I noticed it was fixed! Weird. I have no idea what I did that triggered the daytime cycle to come back, or if the patch had anything to do with it, but I'm glad it did.
Man. I just can't do five more fireclaw fights on Ultra Hard. I just can't. My soul cannot take it. Sorry GG, I love this game but not being able to bump down the difficulty just doesn't make any sense :(.
I dont know how to describe when i encountered and killed my first stormbird (the big one), its was a breathtaking ride.
Ugh. I killed a Fireclaw but it didn't count as one of the five because I didn't have the quest active. At least it wasn't a hard fight. They're much easier to handle out in the open.
Listening to the Album on Spotify and it's great.

The story of this DLC was great, I cannot wait for Horizon II they have done such a great job building this world and there is such a huge story for them to tell. Do you guys think this was cut from the game or created from scratch? It's so lengthy and meaty that I have to believe if it was supposed to be in the game it wouldn't have been this detailed. I wish we were getting just one more DLC of this quality because it was excellent. I also liked getting some more of Sylens backstory from Ourea and he's shady as hell. I really want to know what is going on with Hephaestus and why these dangerous machines are coming out.
Yeah makes sense, that's what I was thinking but wasn't sure, after finishing up all the quests/errands I could of seen them speaking again.I think that's in reference to the main game, considering that The Frozen Wilds takes place during the main game and not after it. Hope this helps...so yes, once return to the main storyline.
Nothing was cut from the base game, it was as is. As far as I know, after HZD's launch, it was the fans who requested NG+, higher difficulty and DLC content - which the devs provided as they could.
Though it's not hard to imagine that GG had a lot more stuff that never made it into the final game, and it was meant for the inevitable sequel. So adding a chunky DLC to the base game would not have been hard for them. The improvements in the DLC are a clear indication that they put in the effort to improve upon most, if not all, aspects of the game requiring it. If you have ever played Killzone Shadow Fall, you would have seen the pattern of free dlc and regular updates that they kept on pushing out for their game.
IMO the best time to fit this in the main story is right before starting the final mission, after Gaia Prime Mission.
I didn't mean cut from the game in the sense that a lot of DLC is literally being developed as part of the game and then cut to sell seperately. I meant cut from the game in the sense that they had a plan for this to be included but didn't have time/money/resources and decided not to include it. HZD was a very complete game but the way this fits is a bit odd to me since it takes place alongside the regular storyline and details from this are added into the main game as well. It's a bit too fleshed out for me to think that it was going to be a quest or have this same layout had it been included in the base game but the connection to Hephaestus and the aggressive robots is mentioned in the base game and this expands on it pretty well. So I'm wondering if something like the explanation you get from Cyan was originally planned but they decided against it.
I'd say just minor changes in dialog until you get to the end of Frozen Wilds, then you'll get answers to some things about the main Horizon quest line. But the way it's set up you can continue playing through the main game and then return to Frozen Wilds whenever you want to talk about any new revelations that you've learned.I restarted the game and my idea was to play the DLC after the big ZD revelation.
What are the differences and changes if I play at that moment or right before the final mission? Without details or spoilers, are there major differences in the story or only little changes in the dialogues?
Just started this DLC.
Is it just me, or do facial animations look better? Like, people are more expressive or something? Dunno, just feels like it.
Oh, come ON. Just astounding. Cripes.
That's me totally completed this now. Getting to level 60 was a small grind but other than that this was great. It's more of the same within the context of the main game but when the same is this good I'll take it. I think GG were really smart putting this out just before the years end as a reminder of how good this for GOTY lists.
My main criticism, like the main game, is that the last boss is just a repeat of a prior enemy instead of something unique. Also the game having Aloy as being the centre of universe best at everything chosen one but to be honest as a dude I've been catered to like that for ages so it's about time an other gender gets a character like that.
I loved the conversation with Cyan. It was evocative of Sovereign from Mass Effect but on the other end of the friendship spectrum. Pretty much all the NPC's were great but Varga was the best. The Cut and the snow graphical effects were majestic.
Looking forward to the direction they take Horizon 2.
The last story boss I fought was the Fireclaw which was the first encounter I had with it. Does it appear elsewhere before the ending?
there should be two sets of logs in the same area as them, shoot the logs and enjoy the free kill.How in the world can i complete the last hunting chief trial with highest medal ? how to deal with the frost claws fast? they take forever to die :(

It's not something I've noticed when using my Gold's.I hadn't played Horizon basically since I Platinum'd it way back in April. Since then I've switched from using my regular old Marley headphones plugged into my controller to using the Sony Gold wireless headset. Does anyone else have an issue with the 3D audio? Because Alloy is always running on the left side of the screen it seems like her footsteps only come through the left speaker on my headset, which kinda bugs me. It makes the audio seem unbalanced. I noticed this since I started playing the Frozen Wilds stuff. Has this happened to anyone else?
