The Stormbird is one of the best designed enemies in gaming. Period.

There is a vendor in Meridian that sells machine lenses and hearts.

If you don't want to farm, you can buy those components from one of the merchants you find in Meridian

I'm probably mid game and i'm already excited for a sequel.
Last night i killed my first stormbird. It was messy. I had no strategy. Stripped it off its weapons with tearblast arrows. Ropecaster to keep it grounded. Then used everything i had to kill it. That's some epic shit.
I disabled enemy health bars (and awareness). I love how you can tell their level of awareness and how much they're damaged just by looking at them.

Yo, Stormbird was a bitch to kill at first, but once you get the hang of it he is pretty easy to kill.
Rope him down, Freeze him, Shoot multi arrows at his body. Rinse and repeat. Easy way to get legendary attachments from them. Thunderjaw on the other hand....I expect one of them to suddenly transform into Megatron and chase me down...lol

I finished the main story last night. What a great game. I can't wait for DLC or the inevitable sequel.

Looks so good!

Thunderjaws are relatively easy to take down. You can strip them of their arsenal pretty quickly using tearblast arrows. After that you can light them up on fire or use their own weapons against them. Rockbreakers are more of a pain especially if facing off against a pair.

I won't even lie. I'm not finished and I'm totally in love with this world. Currently just got to to Sunfall and straight up,
I want a Killzone-esque prequel stat.

I met my first one outside a bandit camp on my way to Meridian (I think?). I did take it down, but I noped pretty hard when it started really firing off. Those things are savage.

I think the overrides make the machines stronger. That's what I feel like anyways given how they always body the opponent. It makes the rare moments when your overrides get destroyed really stand out.
All good. I have learned just enough to make that connection (aka know who that is) but hadn't seen it yet personally.
Heheh, that was some very cool writing.
Did he "see" it live, or did he just have it archived?

Just checked. I am currently 62h in the game, level 50 already, and I'm not even close to finishing the main story. I get distracted all the time, I often go to places that are clearly meant for Story missions and I can't enter yet. I see a pack of Behemoths and I decide to kill them, etc. This game is awesome!
I've been playing on Very Hard since the beggining. At first a simple Sawtooth could be really tough but the great thing about Very Hard is that it forces you to experiment and plan other various strategies. Taking out a Stormbird is fairly easy for me now. I use almost all weapons at some point and I'm always swapping gear for the right situations.

Thunderjaw is pretty fun to fight. don't be too overpowered

Summoning a mount while fighting a Thunderjaw or a Stormbird is pretty hard to watch. It got destroyed in almost a single hit. lol
Fucking Trampler stole my one and only Stormbird kill though.

Just came across the first Stormbird last night and got my ass kicked a few times before I just left the area and gave up.
Whats the best way to bring this damn thing down?

I just went to the first hunting grounds and shot a canister off each of the grazers with hard point arrows. That will bring them down to a sliver of health. Then all you need to do is get them to stampede, follow them and toss a bomb at the group. Rinse and repeat.
Corrupting is not the same as overriding. They will attack everything.
Sword Of Doom
Member
Yeah that's happened to me as well. Was surprising but it makes sense. You're not overriding them
^^beaten
Ropecaster + sticky bombs is my go to strategy.

Yes, corruption doesn't mean that the affected enemies won't attack you. They'll attack everything.
Good tip. Never thought of trying it out there.

Merchants that sell maps ask for meat, but apart from that I don't think there is a need to keep it on you...unless of course you like crafting health potions.
You can upgrade the storage capacity for everything from resources to ammo. Just go to the crafting tab in your menu.

One thing I haven't seen in the game that I'm not sure exists is an actual heavy rain storm that includes thunder and lightning and I've been playing for a while now. Anyone know if this actually happens anywhere? If not Guerilla should think about adding that in for the future, maybe as part of a DLC expansion.
