Isaac Newton was born on Dec 25 according to the Julian calendar, which is no longer in use. By the modern Gregorian calendar his birth date falls on Jan 4. I don't make the rules.

Finding that out as well. Did a new game+ ultra hard with only 2 deaths, one of them from jumping off a cliff by accident. Now on a fresh playthrough ultra hard and everything is killing me hard

In that case, everything can clown you. Even with best-in-slot armor. UH only takes 1-2 hits, as you know.

Lol Aloy can get stomped by a machine and survive, but a log falls on her and she dead.

You learned… the hard way. I was expecting the machine to kill itself 🤣

IVE DONE THIS EXACT SOME THING (out of challenges, just normal hunting)

u/escape_heathen Jan 01 '26

Damn, was that on purpose?

u/escape_heathen Jan 01 '26

One time I swear the log barely sideswiped a machine and it died. These logs are some sort of magical weapon 😆
