Tips and Strategies
Bait and Flank
The Machines you find fighting against Jaxx in the forest comprise of Apex Leaplashers that can perform Shock Attacks.
Using items such as Purgewater followed by Cryo attacks would be useful in this fight. In the absence of these however, baiting the Leaplashers into attacks that you can dodge will allow you to shoot arrows at their flanks – should this be difficult, counterattacking with melee attacks is also a viable option due to their being only two Machines you have to fight through.
Take Down the Longleg Quietly
Although fighting against through to the Longleg is a viable option at this juncture, it is not the most recommended due to the presence of several Apex Spikesnouts that can complicate the fight, which leaves the Longleg enough time to call for reinforcements. Instead, try to attract the Longleg near a bush you are hiding in and take it down before it can do so.
Be Patient with the Spikesnouts
The Spikesnouts that come after the Longlegs are much more complicated to fight against – the best way to deal with them would be to wait until they attack. The seconds directly after their attacks are when they leave themselves vulnerable, as they will pause and give you precious moments to target the Weak Points on top of their heads.
