The Sheerside Mountains are one of the first Tenakht Hunting Grounds that players will come across along their way up to the Bulwark of the Sky Clan. Much like all of the Hunting Grounds, there are three challenges with time limits that players have to complete to finish it. We’ll go over the specifics of these challenges and how to go about completing each one.
How to complete the Frost Trial
This first challenge focuses on players making the Bellowbacks brittle and breaking their Cargo Refining Sacs. These are the sacs on the gullet and butt. The Brittle status isn’t applied to machines until the chill symbol above the machine has filled and is highlighted with a line of white. In order to complete the challenge, players will have tobreak three of the refining sacswhile the Bellowback is still Brittle.
What to use to beat this challenge
The biggest part of this challenge is to consider what Bellowback type players want to go after first. There are three Bellowbacks and a single Rollerback within this area. Two of the three Bellowbacks are Frost-based, meaning they will be less affected by frost elemental effects and damage.
