Complete the Plasma Blast Trial in horizon forbidden west. Use Plasma ammo on a Rollerback and fill the gauge twice to win.
Location: Head south from Stone Crest, which is located northeast of The Bulwark.
Walkthrough
- 1Equip a weapon with Plasma ammo. The Hunter sells a Plasma Boltblaster if you don't have one. Be aware that the Boltblaster is slow to move with and has slow reloads.
- 2Target the Rollerback machine and ignore the Bellowbacks.
- 3Inflict the Plasma Blast state on the Rollerback. A timer and a gauge will appear.
- 4Deal additional damage to the Rollerback from any source while the Plasma Blast state is active to fill the gauge. There is a limit to how much damage you can deal, indicated by the gauge.
- 5You must fill this gauge completely, not once, but twice, before the timer expires to complete the trial.
- 6Switch to a different weapon once you have built up the Plasma meter, as the weapon used to build it may not be effective for filling the gauge.
Tips
- When a machine enters the Plasma Blast state, a timer begins. When it ends, a Plasma Blast will inflict massive damage to the machine.
- The amount of damage the Plasma Blast inflicts depends on how much additional damage you deal to the machine during the timer.
- There is a limit to the amount of additional damage you can inflict before the timer ends.
- Additional damage can be inflicted by any weapon or trap.
- When using a Boltblaster, you do not roll normally when dodging.
