Control Trial Tips

Tie down lesser Machines first

Use your Ropecaster to tie down lesser machines and focus your attention first on the heavy hitter of this trial, the Ravager.

Destroy the Ravager

The Ravager is the most dangerous Machine in this trial so eliminating it first highly increases your chances of survival. Equip Shock Resistance weaves to your outfit and charge up the Stormslinger for a stronger attack. If you charge up the Stormslinger you also deal some damage to yourself, so you willl need the extra resistance.

Onslaught Trial Tips

Wave 1: Aim for Watchers' eyes

Even a normal Hunter Arrow can take down a Watcher if you hit them right in the eye. You can slow down time when you take aim and use you Concentration skill or when you jump in the air as you aim.

Wave 2: Bob-and-weave

Longlegs pose a bigger threat than a bunch of Watchers. Be mindful of the position of the Watchers when they try to tackle you or use their blinding attack and you'll be fine. Scrappers are easily taken care off when you take out their components.

Wave 3: All or Nothing

The first half of the last wave will be against mainly Scrappers, a couple of Watchers, and a Longleg. The fight will be similar to the previous wave but the real challenge comes when the Ravager enters. Use Blast Bombs to tear out the Ravager's components leaving it vulnerable to melee attacks.

Chieftain's Trial Tips

Scorchers: Use your environment

The Scorchers will be walking along paths where logpile traps are situated on top of. Time your shots to take out a lot of their HP before you finish them off.

Freeze Bellowback: Triple Shot your Arrows

We recommend using Hardpoint arrows because of their strong piercing damage. If you aim at the Bellowback's sac with three arrows, it can burst causing the Bellowback to freeze. Aim for the underbelly sac to deal even more damage. Just be careful with the second one.

Frostclaw: Aim for the Freeze Sacs

The Frostclaw has a lot of armored components but the moment you burst those sacs, the Frostclaw becomes more manageable. Steer clear of its area of effect ice attacks and as much as possible triple shot your arrows aimed at the freeze sacs on its shoulders and underbelly.
