As the sun rose, I attempted a silent strike on the beach machine but fled when it summoned help. After several failed attempts with energy cells, I returned to the Stormbird. Despite a direct hit from above, the machine remained completely immobile, leading me to leave the glitchy encounter behind.
And I'm sharing them for Gaming Photography Weekly Contest
After grabbing another energy cell from the source, I went back for the machine on the beach, when the sun rising again over the horizon. This time I jumped off my Sunwing to glide and silently strike the machine while it was stunned from the initial blast. I aimed for a silent strike and then the glowing components on its back.
But the machine didn't lose much health as it rose up and getting ready to attack me with renewed aggression. It looked like that machine along with a Burrower was screaming towards the Stormbird for its help.
When the machine started attacking me, I called my Sunwing and escaped the beach real fast before it crushed me. It kept attacking us like a furious Godzilla, firing beams and charging through the sand. We barely managed to stay ahead of the massive waves.
I went back for the machine for a couple more times, grabbing more energy cells to wear it down. But it looked like the machine was not going down for me, its armor holding up against the repeated electrical discharges. I realized I was wasting resources on a fight that wasn't progressing as planned.
So I decided to get back to the Stormbird that was not moving from its resting zone high on the rusted bridge. I grabbed an energy cell with me for a lack of better options, hoping to finally finish the fight. I flew my mount toward the sky-scraping ruins once more.
I went behind the machine and then I started ascending my height so I could release the energy cell on it from directly above. I wanted to ensure the impact would be centered perfectly on its wings.
After getting to a height, I released the energy cell that made a massive impact around the Stormbird. I was surprised that the machine was not doing anything to defend itself or even acknowledging the explosion. It just sat there silently.
Then I noticed the machine was actually not moving even after I got too close to it during my descent. I almost touched its back with my Sunwing as I circled the metal frame. There was no screech, no lighting, and no movement from its massive metallic feathers.
Then I landed on the bridge and I noticed the machine was not itself as it looked like a dummy stuck in the environment. The lights in its eyes were dim, and it didn't react to my presence at all. It felt like the fight had been drained of all life.
After checking around the machine for some time, I got bored as it was not as challenging anymore with the machine glitched out. I left it behind and flew away. The bridge was quiet as the ghost machine remained.
The next post will be coming soon. Screenshots are my take from the game and I took the game logo that I used on the thumbnail picture from online.
SEE YOU.
