I recorded these for a friend who's finding the combat undecipherable for whatever reason and can't handle even light enemies. Neither of these are master level play (in fact I came across a third of these right before I shut the game down and had a way more fluid fight thanks to the mistakes I learned from in the second video).

I tried to Do a Cool Thing© at the start of the fight proper, but this is just showing how analyzing the set for the encounter can go a long way towards making a difficult fight easy.

In this second clip, I feel silly for ignoring its weak points so much and drawing the battle out, but I came across a really strong strategy for finishing these things off near the end of the video when I stun it a second time (I also discovered you can quick-fire the bow near the end of this video):

And yea, it felt real cool killing that thing that way at the end.

Another thing I love about the creatures in this game is how they respond to getting picked apart; you don't get to see it in these videos, but if you blow up that machine's blast furnace and then pick off its two top components, it wobbles around and comes off really disoriented; also fun to do to a bunch of Grazers in the Nora hunting ground by popping off three of their blaze tanks and then letting them try to get their bearings straight.
