How to Clear The Daunt Hunting Ground

Tear Trial

Horizon Forbidden West - Tear Trial.gif
Prepare a weapon with high Tear. Try to find two Scroungers near each other, and wait in the bushes. Use Concentration, and aim at the Power Cells of each and try to shoot them off with one hit apiece. If the Scroungers notice you before you're able to start aiming, you won't be able to line up clean shots as easily, so it's best to do this smoothly from stealth.

Shock Trial

Prepare a weapon with Shock Arrows. Wait for a Scrounger and another machine to be near each other, then fire an arrow into the Scrounger's Power Cell. You can also throw rocks to lure them into one location. Complete this three times to finish the Trial. Try to get your first hit from stealth, and watch the positions of the machines before going into the arena, so that you can get to a good position from the start and try to line up a multi-kill with your first shot.

Shock and Trap Trial

Before entering the arena, use your Focus to look around for traps and remember their positions. Prepare the Shock Tripcaster to allow you to inflict the Shocked status directly below the traps reliably. After entering the arena, set up Tripcaster wires below the traps and lure machines into them, then set off the traps to complete the Trial.
