Who is Slitherfang in Horizon Forbidden West?

How to beat Slitherfang in Horizon Forbidden West? - First phase


He is a snake-shaped enemy that will start attacking you after finishing off the space shuttle on his friends. And when you see him for the first time what you have to do is aim your arrows at the gears on his neck (his weak point at the time).

In response, the boss will start spitting acid, so you will have to use the rocks that are on the battlefield to cover yourself. Also, he will wag his tails at points in the battle, so you'll have to make sure you don't get close to him, or he'll catch up to you. You can still use the covers to move around to avoid his teeth as well.

The arrows play an important role, so in case you run out of them, it is best to go to a safe place and create more.

The treasure chests that are on the ground are also valuable, as they will allow you to get potions, medicinal berries and other materials.

When Slitherfang falls you can take the opportunity to approach his head and stick Aloy's spear to get additional damage and after this you must hit the components of his head to do even more damage.

After doing enough damage, there will come a point where you will be able to see a cutscene, indicating that the second phase of the encounter has begun.

At the beginning of the second phase the boss will start chasing you to hit you with his head, before this what you have to do is move to avoid it.

On the floor you will find a weapon with two electrical panels that spray blue energy, which you can use to start using the creature's coil blaster against it, dealing large amounts of damage. You just have to keep an eye on his whip so it doesn't hit you.

Near the end the boss will get desperate and launch an attack that is announced by a spark on its tail, it is a very powerful attack that you will want to dodge. Concentrate your attention on aiming at the yellow and blue cylinders that come out of the lower chest, to try to make it fall to the last hits of your arrows.

When you finally manage to take him down you will receive a Heavy Duty Hardplate, 15 Metalbites, 3 Braided Wires, 65 Metal Fragments, 3 Blastpastes, and possibly some other items we recommend picking up.
