Tips and Tricks for Defeating Dreadwings

As always for fighting tough, relentless combat machines, your best strategy for finishing off a Dreadwing is to dismantle it piece by piece. That means we're aiming for some crucial components throughout this fight, preventing the Dreadwing from unleashing its biggest attacks and inflicting a ton of damage while doing so.

If you want to bring it down quickly, your best bet is to take something powerful that can dislodge parts with ease, meaning a strong sharpshot or hunting bow will help out a lot. When encountering the Dreadwing firsthand, prioritise aiming for the metalbite sac on its throat, the bomb launchers found on its chest (which can be used against it if detached), the flashblinder ears atop its head and the fangs found beneath its mouth.

Not only will destroying these take a huge chunk of health from the Dreadwing, but it'll also stop it from using its best moves, improving your chances of survival. With those out the way, it's time to focus on bringing it down. You can save a lot of frustration if you manage to knock out its stealth generator, which is located on the lower half of its torso. It'll prevent the machine from turning invisible, meaning you can stay locked on for the duration of the battle.

If you have a weapon that fires purgewater arrows or shock arrows, you can also inflict huge damage to the mechanical beast by hitting the purgewater canisters located on its tail or the sparkers on its shoulders. These will detonate when struck, taking off a lot of HP and giving you a few seconds of stun time to inflict a lot of damage.

Throughout the fight, the main strategy is to make sure you're not being greedy. The Dreadwing has a lot of attacks that can devastate your health bar if they hit, whether that's the bomb barrage, its charge attack, or its ice mines. Keep your distance, use cover and wait for the perfect shots to line up. If you play it smart, the Dreadwing should go down quickly, allowing you to net some crucial resources.

All Dreadwing Locations

You won't encounter Dreadwings until the Seeds of the Past mission. After Aloy's taken one down, they'll appear in two spots around the open world (as pictured below).

The easiest location to reach is just northeast of Latopolis, which can be found southwest of Plainsong. This will generally spawn a standard Dreadwing. The other location is in the mountains to the west of Memorial Grove. This location will often spawn an Apex Dreadwing, netting you more resources.

Dreadwing Loot

Considering the Dreadwing is a brutal opponent, it stands to reason that you can expect some high-tier loot for bringing one down. Here are the best items you can expect to take with you after felling this mechanical bat:

Dreadwing Metal Fang (used for upgrading weapons and outfits)
Volatile Sludge (used for crafting powerful special ammunition)
Crystal Braiding (used for crafting powerful arrow types)
Luminous Brainstem (used for upgrading powerful weapons and outfits)

In terms of loot types that are unique to the Dreadwing, here's all the loot you'll only find on the robot bat's remains:
