The machines have been a staple of the series from its beginning, but in Horizon Forbidden West, they take on new forms and attitudes. In this game’s last quest, you’ll be fighting against one such machine-human hybrid enemy that is memorable for being able to get back at him by using specific movesets! Here I will share some tips about how best to deal with Erik if you find yourself facing off against him later down your story path or farming adventures.
The man known only as Erik is one of the Zeniths, an antagonist who plots to unleash destruction on all that lives. You first met him during your quest for Death’s Door but found he could not be defeated despite being invulnerable and watching how you fought against his forces in entertainment value before escaping from this room.
The last battle with Erik happens when you get to the top of his tower, just before he drops his guard and becomes vulnerable. He’ll show up if we try going onto an elevator that leads further up into space-time; this stops us from proceeding forward towards victory.
Horizon Forbidden West Erik Boss Fight
Erik isn’t just a man; he’s machine-like in agility and durability. However, his armor may be weak against fire or frost damage, making dealing with him more difficult if you don’t have an elementally powered weapon equipped for battle. If possible, equip Aloy with protection that can withstand electricity!
This is a tough one. For the most part, Erik will fight you in close quarters. – constantly chasing after your AI-controlled character as they sprint and dodge away from him with quick strikes, including forwarding thrusts or spin attacks that can easily hit Aloy if he’s not careful!
Take Down Aloy
Erik is a versatile enemy with several different attacks that can be used to take down Aloy. He can generate shockwaves, shoot from afar or up close and personal in tight spaces where you’re hiding behind cover, so it may require quick thinking depending on what his next move will probably entail!
Stay Away From Traps
The attacks Erik poses a threat even after he has executed them. Therefore, you should move away from trapped areas and continue your onslaught elsewhere, or else you might get caught in one of his nefarious schemes!
Be Patient
The duel with Erik lasts a long time, so you’ll need to be patient. Throughout this process, rely on fire and frost – your main objective should always remain getting rid of his helmet; aim for the upper part of the armor he has left while still shooting at him consistently after losing it too! Keep doing this until there’s nothing left but ash where once was proud flesh.
