  • I complete Horizon Zero Dawn without taking any damage on Ultra Hard difficulty. Some people also refer to this as a No Hit run. The run was done for a fresh playthrough also known as New Game. The goal of the run is to complete the main quest without loosing any health but there where some few extra rules I added as well:
    -Loosing any health means the run has to start over.
    -Scripted damage does not count. (After Proving and Ridge Defense).
    -No Health Boost Potions.
    -No Shield-Weaver Outfit.

    Thinking about it this is practically how Aloy went through the whole story canonically because even single strike from machines should be really dangerous if not fatal

      True. Only until she got that Shield Weaver Armor can she fight more upfront and personal. So it makes sense you can "only" get it near the end-game

      I feel like the difficulty was a bit disappointing in the sense of "just more chunky enemies and more squishy Aloy". It's not like new enemy placement or anything else changes, nor their aim, detection radius, aggressiveness or whatever.

      @@anonssr9514 actually UH does increase enemies' detection range, aggression, and speed/frequency of attack. I agree it feels like it still could be much harder (I'm new to the game and in my first NG+ playthrough) which is why I've also turned off all of the HUD as well for added challenge (already had turned off most just for immersion, but playing without crosshairs is quite a learning curve).

    I just completed my achievements with my ultra hard NG+ playthrough and there were several "wish I had known" moments here. The deathbringer door trick in the Grave Hoard and the cheese at the ridge. I died like 20 times at the ridge, the only spot where I had real issues. HZD Ultra Hard is really accessible even for casuals if you do a NG+ before to get adept weapons and frozen wild coils and know a little what you are doing.

    I mean a no hit play through on ultra hard is the same as a no hit play through on easy as it doesn’t change enemy behaviour just their damage. As someone who’s platinumed the game and completed it on ultra hard i can’t imagine even coming close to what they did.

    • @ElkjaerSpeedruns
      @ElkjaerSpeedruns  2 роки тому +15

      It would still be hard on the lowest difficulty, but it is harder on Ultra Hard since all your weapons are weaker on higher difficulty and there for fights become longer meaning there is more chance of getting hit. Atleast how I see it.
