I fought an intense battle against a Slaughterspine, utilizing its charging moments to land critical hits. After a grueling struggle, I defeated the machine and overrode the generator. Returning to the core, Beta successfully contained Hephaestus, and Aloy assisted her in the delicate process of merging its functions with Gaia.
I never thought fighting this Slaughterspine would be this difficult. The machine was relentless, throwing every plasma attack and physical strike it had at me while I tried to keep my pace.
There were moments where it felt like the machine was doing everything possible to take me down. I could hardly find the space to fight back against its constant pressure.
I realized the best time to strike was when the machine was charging up its energy. Those brief windows were my only real chance to deal significant damage before it unleashed its full power.
Once the Slaughterspine was fully charged, its wrath was incredible. I had to stay perfectly active to avoid being vaporized, but I kept pushing through and landed several heavy hits.
After a very long and exhausting fight, the machine finally collapsed. I walked right up to its scary-looking mouth to inspect the damage before looting the massive carcass for parts.
With the threat neutralized, I moved to override the generator coupling. Hephaestus was finally forced back into the core, its primary defenses within the Cauldron broken.
I returned to find Varl and Beta. Beta confirmed that Hephaestus was 100% contained and immediately asked Gaia to establish the link to begin the merge process.
To finish the merge, they had to carefully excise the malicious code Hephaestus had integrated into its systems. Beta handled the complex technical work while Aloy did her best to follow along and assist.
The next post will be coming soon. Screenshots are my take from the game and I took the game logo that I used on the thumbnail picture from online.
SEE YOU.
