Roll permanently until you see that they’re in the final stage of an attack that will - hopefully - be far away from you.

So my first bit of advice is to never stop moving. Like the Scorcher and Fireclaw, they can erupt into bursts of devastating speed, closing the gap between you and them in the blink of an eye. Horizon Zero Dawn robots - Deathbringerįirst thing’s first: Frostclaws might look like clumsy, heavy machines. Consider investing in the Oseram arrow-breaker armour to reduce the damage you’ll take from its ranged attacks. Using a ropecaster will tie it to the ground for a few precious seconds as well as letting you get a couple more hits in, so stock up on ropes. Warning, though: it can briefly use a shield when it’s grounded, which will protect it from your arrows and give you a nasty jolt of electricity if you run into it. When the stormbird is briefly on the ground hit it with some shock bombs to stun it temporarily, then take out the orange canisters on its wings to make sure it can’t return to the air. There’s a blaze canister either side of its neck which should be your next priority, as hitting it’ll cause high damage indeed. Use tearblast ones to get rid of some of its armour before aiming for the frost cannon on its chest, which’ll be firing area-of-effect bombs unless you put it out. These avian machines won’t come to ground very often, so arrows are your only hope here. A fight with one of these is going to take everything you can muster, so bring your best armor, a ton of health potions, and expert dodging skills. Shoot out the data nexus on the top of its head to disable its scanning ability, which will be able to seek you out if you’re hiding nearby. To help even the odds, go for the blaze canisters on its back, or shoot off its disc launcher and pick it up and use it against the beast. Sprint round to its side and fire at its bright orange heart to cause the most damage, and using frost bombs (which it’s especially vulnerable to) will freeze it up to make it soak up more damage. If you see blue beams of light hitting the ground, it’s a sign missiles are about to follow those paths so get rolling asap. Its missile attack will track you, so if you stay still too long they’ll seek you out easily. As a top tip, if you can always fire more than one arrow at once, as a single one will do almost nada. Do this thrice and you should be in with a chance of winning. Tearblast arrows are essential, and if you have the perk, fire off three at once to cause maximum damage and get rid of its armour.

They're able to shoot fire, ice, dash in for quick close-quarter tail attacks, attack you from afar with a high-powered disc launcher, are covered in armor plating, use movement-seeking missiles, and have an enormous health bar. These apex predators aren't kidding around.
