Complete the Shock Trial in horizon forbidden west. Overload Scrounger Power Cells to shock 3 machines within 03:00 for Full Stripes.
Walkthrough
- 1The objective is to inflict the Shocked status on three machines by overloading a Scrounger’s Power Cell.
- 2The Shock Warrior Bow, given by the Grounds Keeper, is the primary tool for this trial. Aim at the Power Cell on the back of a Scrounger.
- 3When hit, the Power Cell will explode after a few seconds, shocking any nearby machines.
- 4The main challenge is positioning: Chargers tend to stay away from Scroungers, and you need other machines near the Scrounger you target.
- 5The Shock Warrior Bow has a slow Shock build-up, meaning you will likely be detected and need to dodge attacks.
- 6If you have upgraded your Shock Warrior Bow at a Workbench, its Shock element will be stronger, aiding in hitting Power Cells.
- 7Alternatively, use the Shock Tripcaster obtained during the main story to inflict the Shocked status instantly on enemies, then wait for Scroungers to get close enough to their Power Cells.
Tips
- Hitting a Power Cell with Shock ammo causes a delayed explosion that shocks machines in range.
- Use the Shock Warrior Bow to hit a Scrounger’s Power Cell and overload it near other machines.
- Use Shock ammo on a machine to build up to the Shocked state and immobilize it.
- If you have a Hunter class bow that deals Shock damage, it will be easier due to greater Shock build-up.
