The herald is confirmed not to be fightable in the demo unfortunately.

You can spawn him by starting a new game and killing any drone spawner. He'll do a scripted flyby before descending into the clouds and respawning, and is unaffected by cannon shells.

Are you sure about that? I saw him chilling around the cloud after the spawning scene in the beginning

I found the trigger for the Harold, but still unable to kill him. Gather all the resources to build your combat ship. keep in your inventory, then start a new world build your ship , loaded with ammo . fly the ship up to the second to last plateau on the starter island and do the generator pylon puzzle , in the cave/ building room behind the drone spawner. the music will change, and run out really quick to get on your ship. My ship would run 45-50 knots and keeping up with him is no problem, i was able to dump around 25 cannon rounds into him before he despawned . some of them would bounce off or be deflected, but most looked like very solid hits. I have not tried this with co-op and multiple cannons firing.

See "scripted flyby" above.

Thank you for your advice Uriel, I actually did read, and instead of following the sheep, I like to test theory's and break stuff and even sometimes find things that other people are too lazy to find.

What you found is that you triggered the scripted appearance of the herad, didn't do anything to it, and then it despawned because its cinematic introduction was over. But yeah, good work, shepherd.

i think this herald isn't for fight, but just to ask the player to be ready for a good fight. i remember trigger this event and try to use the grapplin hook on it, but the grappling hook don't catch it. i play few hours to search, try to go at 1000(and lost the ship) i try to go to the broder of the map, i find 2 whale, but never see any other time the herald after the event in the first island
