If you read none of this about how I did something super hard and was happy about it, basically I'm interesting in hearing about the hardest stuff B8 has done in video games. Go post and tell me about it.

Horizon Zero Dawn is a challenging game, but not necessarily super difficult. Even on Ultra Hard, it never really feels very unfair. You just have to be really smart and time your rolls right when you're facing something one on one.

Horizon Zero Dawn's expansion, The Frozen Wilds, is a whole nother fucking story.

This shit is HARD. This shit is REALLY hard.

The new machine types in the expansion are way more aggressive and powerful than the ones in the main game, and at two or three different points in the missions, you have to fight two of the big bad ones at the same time. This would be no problem if I were on a lower difficulty because I could probably take a few hits and still be relatively okay. Still challenging, but not unfair. I am not playing on a lower difficulty. I am on Ultra Hard, the highest difficulty. Everything pretty much two-hit kills you and sometimes you'll get knocked down only to be immediately hit again, so you can get OHKO'd. Not only that, but health replenishing plants don't heal you as much and I'm pretty sure the enemies stay under status effects for less time.

Also, Horizon locks you into your difficulty selection on NG+, which is what I was on, so I am locked into this shit.

Completed the main expansion missions, which was pretty ridiculously hard on its own. At the very end, they introduce the biggest and baddest new motherfucker - the Fireclaw. This bitch is... oh lord. It's pretty frustrating. Then, in one of the side missions, they send two of those at you at the same time. I had to somewhat cheese that fight by somehow luring one into a spot where the other didn't notice me at first, so I could kill the first and then take care of the second. So I did that.

Then there were the hunting trials. These don't seem like they were made to be hardly possible at all on Ultra Hard, although they are. One of them gives you 55 seconds to use the crappiest new weapon to kill 6 normal machines and then 1 ravager machine, which is a big bad bitch who takes a lot of damage. The strategy is basically to tie everything down with the rope weapon, then go bomb the ravager till he's almost dead and finish him off with the crappy gun, then go kill everything else. But you have to be nearly perfect to pull this off in the time limit, and you have to have all of your weapons decked out with the right modifications - basically all the best modifications for damage and handling. I did it with 2 seconds left.

I have now done everything in the frozen wilds on ultra hard, I'm about to clear out the trophy list, and I am feeling very accomplished. May SHINE smile on me when he reads this. I hope I did him proud.

So now that I've done this crazy hard shit with killing bitch machines, I am wondering what crazy hard shit B8 has managed to pull off over the years.
