Cauldron ZETA Tips

Take out the Stalkers

When you approach the Cauldron, Stalkers will be patrolling the outside. Hide in the patch of grass and lure them one by one or simply take them out your way.

Find the Hidden Entrance

'

If you look above, you'll see a Redeye Watcher on top of a rocky ledge. Use the yellow climbing markers on the pillar to get to the hidden entrance to the left of the blocked entrance. .

Take advantage of Thunderjaw Weakness

Apart from the Stalkers outside the Cauldron, the only real challenge of this Cauldron is the Thunderjaw. This huge machine has lethal offensive capabilities but it also has multiple vulnerable spots you can take advantage of. We recommend using Hardpoint Arrows to deal the most damage.

Disc Launcher

You can tear the Disc Launcher from the Thunderjaw and use it as a weapon to deal even more damage.

Take out the Tail first

The Thunderjaw also likes swinging its tail for sweeping damage. Take out the tail first so you have one less thing to worry about.

Distance and Dodging

Because of the Thunderjaw's size, it has quite of a reach, but its movements tend to be slower. Keep your distance so you have more time to react when it charges for its attacks.

Jump, like a lot

As a general strategy, you'll want to jump a lot while you aim to activate bullet time for easier aim.
