Sleight of crate trial is unfair
How the ♥♥♥♥ are they expecting us to get a blazing sun for this one?
There is just one crate on the ground and the rest are all on Shell walkers.
And you can't get 4 crates in the same place, you have to sprint for the last one.
Also I've watched clips from the console version. You have 2 places with 3 crates on the ground. And even then you have a hard time 4 crates in the allotted time.
This is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

It took me quite a few tries to get a blazing sun but I think I had to distract the other machines and freeze the shell walkers. If they pick their crates up, use tearblast arrows on them and they will drop. Considering how little time you have, keep running, looting and healing if you need to. Don’t think there’s any other way of doing it unfortunately.
It was one of the most difficult trials tbh, both because of the small amount of time & the number of machines that will be attacking you (it’s funny that those are supposed to be stealth trials but there’s no way to do this one stealthily lol)
Good luck :steamhappy:

I lucked out and found two crates on the ground in one attempt.
This was the hardest trial by far and the only way I made it was because of pure luck.
I still say it's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Yea... i also think this trial is buged... there are just two crates (in total) when i start the trial... so its not possible to pick up 4.
I also waited to see if some of them put down a other one... but nothing happen in like 20 minutes... restart the game&coming back later dident help... after that i gave up on this trial :(

Just did it myself, try using the corruption arrow on the watchers, they will help take the aggro from the Shell Walker. Use melee resistant outfit + shock resist potion and cheese it as fast as you can

I think i got 3 crates on ground and just tearblasted the 4th one so it was easy for me.

I dont have a "time" or "enemy" problem with that trial... but how can I loot 4 cargos when there are just 2?
I look for a guide and watched a youtube video... and in the video there are 3 cargos on two places (tottaly 6), sadly i only have one carge in those places (2 in total).
I there must be some wierd bug that just appier on wathever condition - and as long as i don't know those conditions... i got no chance to complete the trial :(

There are 3 crates straight ahead of the rope and 3 more on the other side to the left. I completed the trial by running straight to the 3 in front of the rope. After that I sprinted back to the rope and from there went for the others.

If you come close to the crates the shell-walkers will try to pick them up even if they don't see you. So just sprint and loot while ignoring everything else.

Just throw a rock to distract them and shoot the ones carried by the Shell Walkers with tearblast arrows, loot it, then run like hell

sSo sometimes I would have 2 crates, and other times I would get 4. Saw videos that ps4 would get 6. I don't know why. I think it is just bugged. The time I cleared it I got lucky. with 2 locations that had 2. Ran like hell ignoring stealth for the first two then ran to 2nd spot. Jumped shot the shell walker that was picking up one of the crates with tearblast. looted those 2. Then died, but as soon as you finish a trial it saves. So i got to keep it.

You don't have to worry about being discovered, You just have to loot them. So loot the ones you see and shoot off the ones that are on the walker. One Precise arrow is all that you need to shoot off the shell. Just aim at the weakpoint.

Oh this one is wonderful trial. You need to shoot off the crate attachments on the back of the Shell Walker so the crate drops. I failed this 2 times before it dawned to me how to do this properly

Very luck based. First couple runs only one crate was on the ground. Got 3 crates on the ground eventually

you can only do part of it in stealth,so once you run out of crates on the ground fire a tearblast arrow at the back hinge holding the crate on top of the shell walkers and then loot it.

there used to be more crates on the ground a few years ago on ps4 but that was patched for some reason.

by the time i did that trial i had the shield weaver armor too so didnt have to worry as much about robots attacking me.

managed to get blazing suns on all 15 trials a couple of days ago.

Really, that is possible?? I tried to do that, but the crates always just disapiered from its back...
Anyway... At some point (not sure how many times i reviseted this trial) there where enought crates (3 on the right & 1 on the left) and was able to complete it :).

I still haven't gotten full or blazing on this one, though I have noticed that if you wait at the camp and just watch the shell walkers for a bit, both groups tend to link up. Since the timer doesn't start 'till you hit the ground off the zipline... wait a bit pre-trial.
