Slaughterspines live up to their terrifying name. They are one of the most dangerous machines in Horizon Forbidden West. The biggest threat they pose is that they will attack players with homing attacks that are very hard to dodge and avoid. Taking out the machine parts responsible for these attacks is a great way to save HP in battle.
The Slaughterspine’sPlasma EarthblasterandPlasma Spine Launcherare both responsible for homing-projectile attacks. Take these out, and the fight against this machine will become much easier.
