Tips
  • Stay at a distance from enemies while firing the discs to give yourself more time to line up Aloy for the catch.
  • Bellowbacks are the ideal machines for this trial because they move slower than Rollerbacks, which can close the distance quickly with their rolling attack.
  • Be aware of the Bellowback's charge maneuver, as this is their primary way of closing distance.
  • This trial is considered the most difficult at this Hunting Grounds, as mistakes require you to start over.
