JorRaptor I got to admit, it's a kick in the ego when you realise that you've been on UA-cam for longer than your favourite youtuber, and have a fraction of views and subscribers But I love your videos so :)
You Gotta love the thunderjaw. Its like the designers looked at the T-Rex in Jurassic Park and said, This guy's too nerfed. He needs a rocket launcher, orbital bombardment capabilities, and laser cannons.
You and everyone else, my friend. That's the beauty of this game. I loved how daunting the big enemies were at first. I didn't engage a Stormbird until like 2/3 the way into the game but by the end after learning the proper tactics and getting all the Lodge weapons, I wasn't scared in the slightest ;)
Paul Adams Its rather satisfying taking down large enemies, havent fought a thunderjaw yet but while I was about to jump on a Tallneck a glinthawk came by and made quick work of me, went back there after getting a better ropecaster and turned the Glinthawk to scrap!
There's a trick that can be used to easily kill the Thunderjaw without even getting hit by him. Just go to the Sun Furrows Hunting Grounds and jump to the lower level of the hill (you can't shoot from the highest spot since it's a starting point for hunting trials). Then start shooting at the Thunderjaw located below. Use tearblast arrows to get rid of his disc launchers and cannons first and he won't be able to attack you. Even if he gets very close, there's nothing he can do from below (his only range attack left is laser sweep but it shouldn't hit you through the rocks). Just watch out for Ravagers and Watchers wandering around. Most of the time they will remain in yellow state and won't get close to you but occasionally one of them may get close enough to attack.
Technically you can kill it instantly with blast trip wires, but where's the fun in that? (Not to mention that the blast can sometimes cause the thunder jaw to fly away majestically)
Just put down shock wires and some traps in one position, lure the Thunderjaw in, and enjoy the fireworks! I use damage coils on my Shadow Tripcaster, so the damage is around 520. Make sure you have enough Tripcaster ammo as well.
Nice! If you use the tripcaster bombs with 3 really good mods, get almost 500 damage! Insta kill almost! If you time the impact to death it's way fast. If you time the setup and then life and boom, you definitely win the fight. Nice kill! I'm level 40 and haven't gotten the lodge weapons, still is tough if not done correctly. I aggro'd 2 thunderjaws, 3 shellwalkers, some scrappers, all within a minute on accident. I was winning, got to excited and didn't realize my health was at 5 percent and poof lost 30min of gameplay. I was so close too! Damn good game.
nah the problem is that you didnt reload 3 bow again after you damaged its heart with the 3 after its exposed . you have plenty of time with slow motion to reload 3 more and shoot its heart
JahJah this, I was looking at the comments for someone to mention that. After you shoot your first 3 while in bullet time reload 3 more than fire and he should be dead if you have enough damage to match the other video
I have been grinding thunderjaw for days working in getting awesome mods, wanted to let everyone know after hours and hours I got a 50% damage mod, I don't remember the two other percentages on this mod, but it is possible. I also saw people mentioning mods that are greater than 50 as far as I know that's only possible on handling. My highest handling mod is 66%
nice challange! if u are asking strictly for engangement time i can cut it down to 5 sec using traps and blastwire. :) as for mods i so far have4 (50%freeze) 2 (49%damage)1 (49 corruption) 1(49 burn)2 (49handeling) 2 (49 shock) and so on i keep no mods under 45% but any ways keep up the good work i like ur vids(armour mods behave different so i dont have aprox values on those
The tactic of having multiple bows equipped for speed makes the weapons pouch upgrades more useful. I didn't bother going past having the best version of every weapon (weapons pouch lvl 2 I think), but this would be useful for a very hard play through - I imagine the Hunter Trials are no joke on that difficulty. I might play through it again on very hard when the DLC comes out.
Just took down my first one in Cauldron Zeta. Horrible arena for it, and I was way underequipped, but it took me probably 5 minutes. I didn't have Triple Shot, didn't have top shelf bows or mods, and it took all my full health potions, most of my health boost potions, and almost my entire medicine pouch, but I did it.
Try going to the site next to the trapped tallneck where you have two Tj’s and corrupt one of them with arrows , then lay back and enjoy the show😎.Dunno why but I like corrupting one member when there is more than 1 guy.I do that with all packs/flocks.
Awesome. I start be removing the Disc Launchers then approaching it while freezing it with Freeze Arrows. Then I go to town with the Shadow Rattler or I’ll use a Disc Launcher if it’s convenient. If I get good heart crits I can finish him quickly without having to craft more Bolts. Never timed it but probably less than 30 seconds.
He has 3 Damage Mods on the Sharpshoot Bow but not the pure Damage ones. There are Damage Mods like 42% Damage 6% Handling. I'm sure he has Handling on all of them.
i kill the thunjaw in 15 seconds but im still close and my bow power is 1000 op right you can get my bow like this: get 14 bluegleam at frozen wilds get a map for bluegleam if you have it then get them bluegleams and get a scorcher heart and you will see it in banuk good at frozen wilds then kill three or two thunderjaws then your good to go
Great video! I've been playing the game for well over a hundred hours, and am Level 37, but I rarely get Damage Coil mod drops! I have a grand total of one purple and four blue ones!!! As a result, I struggle with the most powerful machines, and have to set loads of traps, which for me, is the least enjoyable combat technique! Any advice on getting a few more Damage Coils would be greatly appreciated. Thanks...
@@banyanphotography Thanks for the info. I've played a few more hours since then, and I've done most of Frozen Wilds, so I've collected a few more great damage coils. It's turning out to be an absolutely amazing game....
So true I found the game late but I’m addicted. Killing those big beasts especially if there are more than one will get you those bigger drops. Make sure you sell your lesser ones to merchants so you can get more from them once your pouches start filling up. If you look in the beastiary it tells you what are likely to get from each machine type.
Is Aloy's damage reduced (or machine damage taken reduced) when game difficulty is higher? I have all purple mods but a frozen thunderjaw is only taking 200ish damage from sticky/blast bombs. Not like the 500 I see on your game...
The easiest way is to use one of his disc cannons against him. One cannon is enough to kill a regular Thunderjaw. May not be the fastest way, but it sure is satisfying!
just upgrade your skill tree as zaiga said for the triple shot, the bow doesnt really matter, but if you want to kill him that fast you should probably buy the shadow one : )
My 7 years daughter plays on easy mode and she killed two sawtooths in maybe 6 seconds. She was lvl 14. I'm lvl 42 on medium game mod of playing. To kill one of sawtooths I need about 20/30 seconds without traps. But for a thunderjaw I need maybe more then 2/3 minutes... So guys.. what I should say?!
I just lay down 2 blast wires, and a little further on, 2 shock wires. When I lead him through my trap, the blast wires knock off a lot of his armor and health. Then when he hits the shockers and is stunned, I run in and whoop the shit out of him with my spear.
Correction: I tried that strategy, but he ended up whooping the shit out of me instead. Turns out you need a lot more than 4 tripwires to do real damage to this beast.
I usually just set up 4-6 blast wires (with best 3 damage mods) in the same spot in its path and it kills it in one shot…technical you never ever go to combat with it if you are sneaky
Can you beat Andreas Menge? The hunting trail for the Thunderjaw is now open, good luck!
JorRaptor i can insta kill him
JorRaptor with traps yes but normally with his load out I got 12.65 seconds damn it
iceman gaming 420 im too with the rope caster but i think with bow only is it impossible a 1 hitter.
sorry for my english, i know its not perfekt
JorRaptor can you help me idk y my ps4 wont let me upload any hzd videos can live stream but not post videos any advice
JorRaptor I got to admit, it's a kick in the ego when you realise that you've been on UA-cam for longer than your favourite youtuber, and have a fraction of views and subscribers

You Gotta love the thunderjaw. Its like the designers looked at the T-Rex in Jurassic Park and said, This guy's too nerfed. He needs a rocket launcher, orbital bombardment capabilities, and laser cannons.
Accurate description
For me he is like the smaller version of zilla and he is a robot
Horizon zero dawn sharks with lasers when?!?!?
@@Ugetora what?
it's not the déigner, dude. It's GAIA imagining and designing these creature herself.
Sadly it took about ten minutes and almost all my healing resources to kill my first thunder jaw.
You and everyone else, my friend. That's the beauty of this game. I loved how daunting the big enemies were at first.

I made a Thunderjaw kill another Thunderjaw today and it gave me 49% Damage Coil. I didn't realise it was the best you could get :3
Shizuru Nakatsu there is a 50% damage coil too.
50 is best
Shizuru Nakatsu my best on is 49 damage 21 shock and 11 tear
51 damage is the best I’ve seen
I got a 61% handling coil once
Technically you can kill it instantly with blast trip wires, but where's the fun in that? (Not to mention that the blast can sometimes cause the thunder jaw to fly away majestically)
always flies for me. It's beautiful... (UwU)
Lol. Wow. I need to try that.
I used that strategy in Cauldron ZETA and it worked!
Reminds me of the time a snapmaw accidently trampled on his dead sibling and uh..dead one ascended to heaven
Just put down shock wires and some traps in one position, lure the Thunderjaw in, and enjoy the fireworks! I use damage coils on my Shadow Tripcaster, so the damage is around 520. Make sure you have enough Tripcaster ammo as well.

i get 568 dmg per trap with my tripcaster
james Rountree ii
I have a couple Thunderjaw kills (very hard) from mount only. Will share if you'd like. Thanks
Ok that's pretty impressive. Time does slow but aiming from mount is still a pain in the ass
Show the mount kill
nah the problem is that you didnt reload 3 bow again after you damaged its heart with the 3 after its exposed . you have plenty of time with slow motion to reload 3 more and shoot its heart

And now I want a 66% handling mod... I never grinded for mods but I kind of want to, now.
I dont think someone else is watching this in 2020 haha
Here!!
@@harveykim4520 Me too.
PC players will..
Finally played it in the last month. Just finishing up frozen wilds. Bloody brilliant game.. Dont no why I left it so long..
hello there
been playing horizon for a week or so now and I love it. so gonna platinum this game. your vids have helped loads, keep them coming 😎
+Darren Roberts thanks a lot Darren and good luck with the Platinum!
nice challange! if u are asking strictly for engangement time i can cut it down to 5 sec using traps and blastwire. :) as for mods i so far have4 (50%freeze)
2 (49%damage)1 (49 corruption) 1(49 burn)2 (49handeling) 2 (49 shock) and so on i keep no mods under 45% but any ways keep up the good work i like ur vids(armour mods behave different so i dont have aprox values on those
+Mehak .S thanks! Can you upload a video of you killing it that fast?
JorRaptor ill try my best when i do will let u know sir:)
+Mehak .S awesome!
JorRaptor, the strategy he speaks of can be found on Horizon Zero Dawn One-Shot videos if you require a quick look.
Tru**ty *atc*es truly speaks the truth raptor.....it will save u time take a look
I had a 51% freeze coil, but I lost it to my own stupidity, before the tinker perk
Kill thunderjaw in 11 seconds makes a video almost 8 minutes longer
The tactic of having multiple bows equipped for speed makes the weapons pouch upgrades more useful. I didn't bother going past having the best version of every weapon (weapons pouch lvl 2 I think), but this would be useful for a very hard play through - I imagine the Hunter Trials are no joke on that difficulty. I might play through it again on very hard when the DLC comes out.
Frost arrows are my savior
it's called using a shadow rattler and shadow sling I've gotten to a point where making more ammo for the rattler isn't required at max ammo start
Just took down my first one in Cauldron Zeta. Horrible arena for it, and I was way underequipped, but it took me probably 5 minutes. I didn't have Triple Shot, didn't have top shelf bows or mods, and it took all my full health potions, most of my health boost potions, and almost my entire medicine pouch, but I did it.
If the timer starts when you engage the thunderjaw, then it is possible to kill it in 1 second with 15 tripwires.
Try going to the site next to the trapped tallneck where you have two Tj’s and corrupt one of them with arrows , then lay back and enjoy the show😎.Dunno why but I like corrupting one member when there is more than 1 guy.I do that with all packs/flocks.
Awesome. I start be removing the Disc Launchers then approaching it while freezing it with Freeze Arrows. Then I go to town with the Shadow Rattler or I’ll use a Disc Launcher if it’s convenient. If I get good heart crits I can finish him quickly without having to craft more Bolts. Never timed it but probably less than 30 seconds.
The rattler is good?
You guys are awesome! The thunderjaw has been kicking my ass. Thanks for the help.
He has 3 Damage Mods on the Sharpshoot Bow but not the pure Damage ones. There are Damage Mods like 42% Damage 6% Handling. I'm sure he has Handling on all of them.
I have a 58% handling and 15% fire coil. Not sure if the 49/50% cap referred to in the vid is talking only about damage coils or % cap in general.
Just watched like 15 of your videos, great content, keep it up!
+matt wicker wow awesome:) glad you enjoy it!
i kill the thunjaw in 15 seconds but im still close and my bow power is 1000 op right you can get my bow like this: get 14 bluegleam at frozen wilds get a map for bluegleam if you have it then get them bluegleams and get a scorcher heart and you will see it in banuk good at frozen wilds then kill three or two thunderjaws then your good to go
idk if you're still reading this but finally manage to kill it in 6s. will upload it soon. have 8s kill prior if you want to check it out
+Rangga Yustya Syailendra oeh nice
Wasn't expecting a fast reply lol
I stack the tripwire blast and detonating bomb then lure him in to it. Thus, the fight start with half HP.
nice. that heart place. difficult to found. thanks
i’m first time to play from PC
Great video! I've been playing the game for well over a hundred hours, and am Level 37, but I rarely get Damage Coil mod drops! I have a grand total of one purple and four blue ones!!!

Seems like I get good drops when I make Snapmaws fight each other with corruption arrows then finish the still live ones off.
@@banyanphotography Thanks for the info. I've played a few more hours since then, and I've done most of Frozen Wilds, so I've collected a few more great damage coils. It's turning out to be an absolutely amazing game....

If you are on PlayStation pm me your handle so I can friend you.
hard mode?
Me sitting here with not even half as much weapons as he has
This is a great video. Thank you.
I have one 50% damage mod. odd thing is I got it really early in the game. lol
Jawohl! Ganz geil!
that's cool when i have some time ill try this and i'll sand you the video
good video... and i like your intro 😂😁😁
+hiwa doski haha :) Thanks
F for that guy 2:21
Ok but what about when you're in the cauldron
misstrKevin I loved that quest so much. It was pretty easy tho as I’ve killed 4 thunderjaws and 1 corrupted thunderjaw before that.
In the cauldron now. Loving this game. But it is hard asf on hard mode.
My mans at 2:22 about to get annihilated.
Holy shit that tearblast quickshot
He could be killed in one second. All you need are explosive trip mines at 500 damage, place 15 next to each other and lore it over.
Less fun :P
I killed a thunderjaw in 6 seconds
Why don’t you try using a ropecaster then shoot the power cells on the Thunderjaw’s tail then shoot the heart. That’s what I’ve been doing.
Is Aloy's damage reduced (or machine damage taken reduced) when game difficulty is higher? I have all purple mods but a frozen thunderjaw is only taking 200ish damage from sticky/blast bombs. Not like the 500 I see on your game...
The easiest way is to use one of his disc cannons against him. One cannon is enough to kill a regular Thunderjaw. May not be the fastest way, but it sure is satisfying!
Yep the impact is awesome!
I never use freeze or stun ammo cuz i feel it doesn’t do anything! After watching this video I realize I’m just not modding my weapons right 🤷🏽♂️
max damage on tripcaster and place down 15 i believe then lure him into all of them
Ive never actually killed one but with this advive i feel a bit more confident
I also just killed a rockbreaker so i think ill try
damn. and I thought sharpshot was only used on humans.
Do yo know where you select all your bows, how do you get 3 in one slot? Ive been wanting to know this for ages please can someone reply!! 😩
Super-Fly-Ky 1 you must buy shadow type weapons
you need to update your skill tree for the 3 arrow one shot
Zaija Zangetsu no bud he’s looking for the shadow bow to have three ammo types
just upgrade your skill tree as zaiga said for the triple shot, the bow doesnt really matter, but if you want to kill him that fast you should probably buy the shadow one : )
I saw a video where the hunter used 12 blast tripcaster to insta kill a thunderjaw. It's faster than 11 seconds O_O
My 7 years daughter plays on easy mode and she killed two sawtooths in maybe 6 seconds. She was lvl 14. I'm lvl 42 on medium game mod of playing. To kill one of sawtooths I need about 20/30 seconds without traps. But for a thunderjaw I need maybe more then 2/3 minutes... So guys.. what I should say?!
I killed a ThunderJaw in 0 seconds I just override it lol
Stellio Cuntos
Literally impossible to pull off consistently with the way the thunderjaw turns and moved
How did you get three Arrows???
Can get prestine coils there 50 and above
i didnt beat that but try to kill thunderjaw under one minute when u are lvl 10 (of course veryhard) :D
I am German :D
Nice hehe
Icefps Designs Auch. Sehr Schwer hat er voll gut ausgesprochen oder?
WARNING INADMISSIBLE NAME ne
ich auch. Iwie voll cool

Sherry Poe lmfao
I one shot the thunderjaw with an improved icerail on accident so I can say I killed it in one second world record yay
How do you keep it from charging? Can't roll out quick enough!
Alloy speaking Dutch sounds perfect 🤣
she speaks german, not dutch
Sehr schwer means very hard
nice video👍
Prolly one of the hardest enemies I've ever faced lmao
Im German! Grüße aus Deutschland:)
Get tearblast arrows shoot at disc launchers use them done
Yeah with the storm weapon from frozen wild under 8 seconds
I have never heard an accent like yours. Where are you from?
The Netherlands :)!
Nice vid
thanks :)!
You are the best jorRaptor
haha thanks!
I set up like 30 Blast wires using a Shadow Trip Casters with 3 +50 Damage Mods and it took much less time than 11 seconds. LMAO!!
+Eric Stoker that's a nice way to do it
+Eric Stoker ...and how long did it take you to set up the 30 blast wires? LMAO!!!
i dont think it is possible, arent u just able to place only 15 tripcaster bombs? o.o
Not everyone has 3 +50 mods, I'm at lvl23 & I think +31 is the best I've got
freeze is op
First i used disc launchers to kill thunder jaw but now it is damn easier
whats this armor hes using?
Hearing not german talking german is so funny 🤣
I didn’t time it but I’ve done 6750 damage to a Thunderjaw in one shot
Already killed tons of Snapaw but never get their hearth. I really need that to buy Shadow Ropecaster
you can buy it from speciality merchants
I'm a complete noob....cannot for the life of me kill any worthwhile machine
where do i get the tree arrows ??
Who are the PC players here watching this in 2020 ???
Wtf JorRaptor almost 9k! That's crazy!! 1k in 1 and a half days 😱😱😱ngl I'm pretty jealous but I'll leave horizon videos to you
haha thanks
nice it worked no bow so had to use freeze bombs
Aloy talks 'wierd', cause it's german language? na schönen herzlichen dank :/
i have a modificaton with 50% handling 21% damage
so i think 50% is max
I have 51% handling. in fact I have couple 51% coil. Haven't seen 52% and above yet
I've a 50% damage + 21% tear + 12 fire, wont mind a few more of those
Just got 60% handling
Jihad Khalid yea they buffed it now. max handling is 67% now
actually it is 51%
I killed a thuderjaw in 10 seconds :D
Nice!
I usually just set up 4-6 blast wires (with best 3 damage mods) in the same spot in its path and it kills it in one shot…technical you never ever go to combat with it if you are sneaky
Is this on ultrahard???
Dont try to buy the same bow/weapon with the original equipped, crashes my game after patch....or just buy anything the same.....broken
Yeah I heard, they will have new patch for that.
Now lets see someone do the forge one in 11 sec.
I've killed it in 12 or 13 seconds using the ravenger cannon
i got 14.928s but i don't know how to upload it on ps4
With ravager cannon you can easy destroy it in less than ten seconds
I got 50 % mod are real , and for firing fast arrows you need handling
We can get stronger mods from the frozen wilds, he must've used those mods to kill within 12 sec bruh!
He's shooting his weakest part with his strongest arrow definitely possible good luck everyone
+jason alexander yes didn't know about this before hand
can you do that in ultra hard?
