Horizon Zero Dawn

After finishing the game i would say the most useful skills are in unlock order:
1) sneak attack + bullet time zoom + crit attack

2) the whole right branch for more loot / reduced ammo cost (near the end i could sell stacks
of fuel and so on for 200 caps each stack regulary and swim in money)
3) double/triple arrow shot (with that you can oneshot even heavy bandits on range instead of
skilling the sneak attack for heavies and its also useful against some robot fights where you
only need to hit one time instead of 3 times at specific places for example shocking / rope
trapping a bot and shoot 3 arrows in his belly before he can stood up)
4) faster healing + increased heal bag size (main source of healing and allows more fails
especially later on where they throw you in arena like situations without real hiding options)
After that the other skills are more or less equal useless if you play smart.
it all varies on your playing style on what you should pick on the early stage of the game.
here are the seven skills I level first
1. Silent Strike
2. Lure Call
3. Concentration
4. Critical Hit
5. Precision
6. Gatherer
7. Healer

Horizon Zero Dawn how to get the best weapons and outfit
Theyre all good weapons, Brent, but theres one

outfit that steals the show.
by Jeffrey Parkin Feb 27, 2017, 11:01am EST
TWEET
SHARE
PIN
Before we even begin, lets clarify something. There is no single
best weapon in Horizon Zero Dawn. Each weapon has its uses
and its strengths, but there is no single weapon that wed call
the best. There are better versions of each weapon, though, and
a few unique weapons. Well focus on those in the best weapons
section.
The best outfit is a much different situation. There are a lot of
useful outfits that youll pick up, each with their own useful
situations ice hunter armor is good to wear while
fighting glinthawks, for example but there is one outfit that
stands apart from the rest. Youll have to do some work to get it,
but it is very, very worth the trouble.
THE BEST WEAPONS
You can buy the best version of each weapon from any of the mid-
to late-game merchants (usually the ones near or in Meridian).
Just look for the shadow version of the weapon you want. Theyre
expensive and usually require a pretty rare machine part or two to
pick up, but the extra power and modification slots make them a
must-have.
Beyond those, there are four weapons that you receive as rewards
for side quests. You cant just walk to the store to pick these up
the only way to get them is to complete their associated quests.
You pick up the lodge versions of some weapons from Aidaba inside the hunters lodge.
Complete all 15 hunting grounds trials with a perfect score (a
blazing sun) and turn them in at the hunters lodge in Meridian to
pick up the lodge versions of the blast sling, ropecaster and war
bow. Like we said in our quests guide, though, dont expect these
to be superweapons they are only marginally better than the
shadow versions you already have access to.
The Hunters Blind side quest will get you the tearblaster
weapon youll pick up this level 12 quest while following the
hunters lodge storyline. The tearblaster is a one-of-a-kind
weapon that delivers no damage, but will blow armor and
components off of machines. Think of it like a vortex cannon. This
is a great weapon for those machines that have armor plating
over their weak points or have special attacks tied to removable
components.
MAKING ANY WEAPON BETTER
Damage added by modifications is shown in green.
Never forget about modification slots. As you progress in the

game and get more and more powerful modifications, you can
drastically alter the damage any weapon can deal.
As your weapons inventory expands and you find yourself needing

to deal specific types of elemental damage, you can buy multiple
versions of the same weapon and specialize the modifications. For
example, you can buy two hunter bows and load one up with
three very rare flame damage-increasing modifications and the
other with three very rare tear damage mods, giving yourself two
specialized and very powerful versions of the same weapon.
THE BEST OUTFIT: THE SHIELD-WEAVER

There may not be a best weapon in Horizon Zero Dawn, but there
is, without a doubt, a best outfit. Meet the shield-weaver.
The shield-weaver outfit is an ancient technology that gives Aloy
a force field. The shield will take a ton of abuse completely
blocking all kinds of damage before it has to recharge (and it
recharges pretty quickly).
This armor is amazing. It carried us through the end of the game

without even needing our medicine pouch once not because
were that good, but because it absorbed that much damage.
Heres how to get the shield-weaver armor.
THE ANCIENT ARMORY
Location of the Ancient Armory side quest.
Youll find the side quest (and the armor itself) inside a bunker just
east of the Mothers Rise settlement. Its in an underground cave
near a strider site.
Inside, youll find a locked door that you need to get past, but the
lock is missing parts. Once you get through the locked door, youll
need to unlock the clamps holding the armor in place and the
controls for the clamps are, of course, missing parts as well.
The part you need is probably new to you. Power cells are not an
item you can scavenge or remove from machines (even though
behemoths have a component named power cells these are
different power cells). Youll need to find a total of five two for
the door and three for the clamps to get at the shield-weaver
armor.
No matter when you pick up this quest either by finding your

first power cell or by stumbling into the bunker you wont be
able to actually finish it until the very end of the main storyline
quests after you finish The Mountain that Fell.
HOW TO FIND THE FIVE POWER CELLS

Power cells dont show up on your map, and Horizon Zero Dawn is
pretty tight-lipped about telling you where they are. The only hint
(if you can call it that) is that the armor is in a bunker, and there
are five other bunkers in the world.
If you were lucky or very thorough in your first playthrough of the
bunker locations, you may have already found some of the power
cells we found one of them without even noticing wed picked it
up. If you missed any, you can just revisit the bunkers and pick
them up. Power cells will be marked with a green resource icon.
Smashing the stalactites to get at the power cell inside.
Ruins to the east of Mothers Watch. Inside the bunker

that Aloy fell into as a child, youll find a power cell near the
exit behind a wall of stalactites and stalagmites that you can
destroy with your spear.
Location of the power cell inside All-Mother Mountain
All-Mother Mountain. Theres a power cell in one of the

Nora rooms inside All-Mother Mountain not inside the
facility behind to the closed door. Go down the hall to the
right of the door and take the first left. Look for an air duct to
crawl through. Its a little hard to find, so consult the map
above.
The Grave-Hoard power cell is
pretty hard to miss.

If you pick up the power cell
before finding the bunker, youll unlock the quest here.
Grave-Hoard. This is the power cell youre most likely to

find accidentally (its the one we found). The path you take
through the Grave Hoard during the main storyline quest of
the same name will take you right past it. Its right after you
unlock the door with the three sets of locks. (This is what
added the quest for us, too.)
The route to the top of the Faro building.

The power cell is at the very, very top.
Makers End. At the top of the Faro building, look to the

east of the table where you watched Ted and Elisabets
conversations. Theres a way to climb up to the very, very
top of the building where you can find a power cell waiting
for you.
The room with the power cell is
along your exit route from the GAIA Prime ruins.

The final power cell.
GAIA Prime. After you finish exploring the GAIA Prime ruins
and youre returning to Sylens workshop, theres a power
cell in a room that tunnels into the mountain.
When you get all the power cells you need, all thats left is to
install them and enter the combinations to unlock the shield-
weaver armor.

Grazer
Although they will usually flee when attacked by prowling hunters, grazers
may retaliate and face their foes once they pinpoint them, ramming and using
their antlers while on the offense.
How To Destroy Grazers: The Best Way to kill grazers is to lure them with a
whistle in the tall grass, once close enough you can strike them with one good
strike taking them down.
They also have blaze canisters located on their back similar to striders, you
can also disable their ramming ability by shot the antlers located on
their head.
Stormbird
The Stormbird is a highly mobile flying creature that can rain electric attacks
down from above. While hovering in mid-air, the Stormbird can shoot a Shock
Blast of condensed lightning. The machine is still deadly while perched on the
ground. It can use its peak for a powerful Beak Smash and can leap at Aloy
with its claws. It can also utilize its long tail in a sweeping Tail Lash attack
while grounded.
Special Ability: Thunder Crash While airborne, the Stormbird charges up
electrical energy in a shield around its body. Once fully charged, the machine
performs a dive bomb to the ground, releasing its charge and causing massive
damage near its vicinity.
How To Take Down A Strombird: Using Tear Blast Arrows will remove some
of its armor making it easier to target its Frost cannon on its chest.

Canister on its wings to make sure it can fly back into the air.

WEAK AGAINST FIRE when damaging their body.
WEAK AGAINST ICE when damaging the freeze canisters on the stomach.
WEAK AGAINST SHOCK when damaging the power cylinder on his back.
Freeze Bellowback
These Horizon Zero Dawn Robots are known as Freeze bellowbacks. They
will use frost damage attacks instead fire like their fire counterparts. Frost will
increase the damage you take from other sources, this is one of the main
reasons this monster is difficult to deal with when facing multiple enemies.
How To Kill A Freeze Bellowback: Using FIRE ATTACKS to deal more
damage and be sure to attack the large container on it back whenever
possible. It also has Glands on each side of its head, destroying these will
reduce it overall damage when fighting it.
Fire Bellowback
These Robots known as fire bellowbacks are very dangerous and can do a
large amount of damage. They are best known for shooting fire out that
stretches a long distance.
How To Kill A Fire Bellowback: Using ICE ATTACKS to freeze it will allow
you to take out it cargo sack on it back that powers its flamethrower. It also
has another weak spot located on its Belly/Stomach but is fairly difficult to
reach.
Rockbreaker
The Horizon Zero Dawn Robot Machines Rockbreaker will travel underground
and suddenly pop out to try and damage with its buzzsaws.
How To Kill A Rockbreaker: Freeze Attacks are effective at slowing it down,
allowing to deal damage to its Diggin Arms. It also has a Weak Spot located
on its Belly/Stomach but is slightly difficult to reach.
Behemoth
These Horizon Zero Dawn Robot Machines Behemoths tend to move in pairs
and will require you to be dodge quite a bit when fighting them.
How To Take Down Behemoths: Using Tear Blast Arrows will remove their
armor and allow you to attack the Weak Spots. This Weak Spot is a Yellow
Cylinder located on there Stomach/Underbelly.
Thunderjaw
The Horizon Zero Dawn Machines Known as thunderjaws is armed with a

variety of weapons. It can fire different types of energy emissions from its
head, like an array of red laser beams or canons that shoot blue blasts of
unknown matter. On its back, just above the legs, are a pair of artillery canons
called disc launchers that can be shot apart and used against the Thunderjaw
by the hunters. In addition, the thunderjaw can stomp its foes or whip them
with its tail.
How To Defeat A ThunderJaw: Tear Blast Arrows are very effective against
this Robot removing his armor. It will also help if you can shoot multiple arrows
at once to increase your overall damage to the Thunder Jaw.
Its Weak Spot is a Bright Yellow Heart, which will require you to remove
some of its armor before you can effectively damage it.
It also has Blaze Canisters on it back that you can target.
Corrupted Machines
Horizon Zero Dawn Robots Corrupted Machines are pretty much the exact
same thing you have versed of the regular version, except these corrupted
machine versions are stronger being able to deal and take more damage.
They will also drain your health if you stay near them for too long.
How To Destroy Horizon Zero Dawn Corrupted Machines: Every Corrupted
Machine you came across will be WEAK AGAINST FIRE DAMAGE.
Deathbringer
These Horizon Zero Dawn Machines appear intimidating due to their size and
name. However, once you have learned their weaknesses they are fairly easy
to deal with.

is WEAK AGAINST FIRE AND SHOCK DAMAGE. When damaged it will
expose it Orange Weak Spots allowing to to get some good damage on it.
Strider
These are another enemy you will find early on, they can also be hacked
using the override ability.
How To Destroy Striders: The Best Way to Take Down Striders is to shot
the Blaze Canister located on their back.
Watcher
The Horizon Zero Dawn Machines Watchers have the ability to observe and
scan the environment in search for threats. This is a problem since they can
alert other machines nearby, allowing you to be quickly out numbered.
Despite their lack of weaponry, Watchers can attack humans by charging and
tackling them. They also can shot laser beams from their eyes.
How To Destroy Watchers: The best way to fight watchers is
to SHOT the EYE since this is their weak spot.
Red Eye Watcher
The Horizon Zero Dawn Machines Red Eye Watchers have the ability to
observe and scan the environment in search for threats. They are slightly
stronger than their regular counterparts and are a bit more aggressive as well.
How To Fight Red Eye Watchers: The best way to fight the Red Eye Version
of watchers is to SHOT the EYE since this is also their weak spot.
Longleg
These Horizon Zero Dawn Machines Longlegs can stun you with an ability
known as Sonic Blast, the other problem is they also have the ability to call for
reinforcements.
How To Destroy LongLegs: The Best way to deal the most damage to
Longlegs is to attack there Lung Sacks located on their chest. They also
have blue canisters located on their hips that will also deal increased damage.
Armor piercing arrows are also super effective versus these machines.
Glinthawk
Glinthawks can lift the corpses of neutralized machines, most likely to

dismantle them and reutilize their components. They also can shot down at
you from the sky cause some extreme damage.
How To Destroy Glinthawks: These Horizon Zero Dawn Machines are VERY
WEAK VERSUS FIRE DAMAGE, any fire weapon or ability you have will be
effective against them. Aiming at their chest is also another weak point, they
are also much easier to deal with the lower they are to the ground.
Corrupter
Walking on four long legs and displaying a long scorpion-like tail, their
appearance is almost alien compared to other, more organic looking
machines. They also spew grenades from the top of their body, along with
its ability to throw rocks using its tail.
How To Destroy Corrupters: Destroying the Metal Cylinder on top of their
body will reduce the risk when approaching these, also there are VERY
WEAK VERSUS FIRE DAMAGE.
Charger
Like the name suggests these creatures will charge an enemy using
their horns to ram you.
How To Destroy Chargers: Keeping your distance helps a lot while aiming
for there Horns will help limit their ability to ram you.
Trampler
These Horizon Zero Dawn Robots Tramplers will travel in herds aside from
that they are not that difficult to handle.
How To Kill Tramplers: Be sure to shot their Horns to stop them from
ramming you down and staggering you in the process. The Weak Spot for this
beast is located on their belly and is quite easy to attack.
Shell-Walker
These Horizon Zero Dawn Machines can jump and attack with their claws,
and protect themselves with a blue energy shield. Shell walkers carry crates
on their backs and travel in packs to deliver their cargo.
How To Take Down A Shell-Walker: Disabling their claws will reduce a large
amount fo the risk, also it best to sneak up behind them since they are very
slow to begin with.
Stalker
Stalkers are very punishing creature due to their ability to turn invisible and
ambush you when you are least expecting it. Whats even worse is the tend to
leave minds on the ground see keep your eye out for any red beams of light.
How To Destroy Stalkers: Firing Blast Arrow is a great way to disable their
invisibility. Aiming for their Yellow Sections will deal the most damage versus
this creatures.
Broadhead
Can be hacked. Physically, Broadheads are reminiscent of cattle, especially

the Longhorn breed, displaying a pair of long, straight and horizontal horns
likely used as a defense mean and tools.
How To Take Down A Broadhead: The Horizon Zero dawn Machines
Broadheads have canisters located on their back which makes for an easy
weak spot to attack. You can also use armor piercing arrows to break off its
horns to prevent its charging ability.
Tallneck
Not many abilities are known aside the function they play in communications
between machines. Tallnecks are able to temporarily, and involuntarily, stun
machines once a human has gained access to their had dish and seized its
data.
Snapmaw
The Horizon Zero Dawn Machines Snapmaw can cover a lot of distance on
the ground, leaping or charging forward with its powerful jaws. In close
combat, Snapmaws utilize a coolant liquid stored inside their cryo sacs. They
can attack from a distance using a Freeze Burst, shooting super-cooled liquid
that can freeze their opponents.
How To Kill Snapmaw: Using Blast Arrows to remove their armor will help a
lot. They are also WEAK AGAINST FIRE DAMAGE, you can also increase
your fire this damage by attacking theyre the glands underneath their head,
leaving them frostbitten.
The Snapmaw is apparently able to attack Aloy while she is swimming.
Lancehorn
These Horizon Zero Dawn Robots Lancehorn often roam in packs are more
aggressive than their grazer counterparts.
How To Take Down A Lancehorn: Since these lancehorn robots appear in
packs it will best to lure them one by one into tall grass and hack or destroy
them. Setting up Trap Mines is also a good strategy when dealing with many
of them at once.
Sawtooth
The Sawtooth is covered in an Armor plating on the majority of its body, and is
concentrated on its torso.
How To Destroy Sawtooth: The Sawtooth has cannister like most Horizon
Zero Dawn Machines, these, however, are located on his underbelly. Armor
piercing arrows and traps work best versus the sawtooth machines.
Scrapper
They are attracted to destroyed machines similar to the Glinthawk. They also
appear to roam in packs using pounce and laser attack abilities.
How To Kill Scrapper: Using Hard Point Arrows and Shock Weapons are
effective, along with attack their weak spot located on the back.

Weapons
Horizon: Zero Dawn is full of weapons. They are your tools of destruction against the machine
hordes, and are crucial to your survival.
Below is our list of Weapons that can be found in Horizon. Each one has it's own use, so make
sure to read up on them, so you can find which fits your playstyle best!
Unlocking the Best Weapons
Unlocking weapons in Horizon: Zero Dawn is a rather straightforward process. In order to access
better weapons, you simply need to get further in the game. However, when looking to get
weapons, sometimes you won't have the required resources. If you encounter this issue, simply
hit Square while looking at it at the vendor. This will create a Job, and help you gather the
necessary items.
Blue Weapons (Carja Class) will become available once you reach the second area of the game,
commonly known as the Devil's Thirst region. The settlement of Mother's Crown has a vendor
who provides several Carja weapons.
Some early Purple Weapons (Shadow Class) will become available when you reach Daytower.
The rest of the Purple Weapons will be purchasable once you reach Meridian.
Lastly, you can unlock 4 specialty weapons by doing the Hunting Grounds, which are scattered
throughout the map. These weapons are one of a kind, and the best in their category.
Spear
The Spear is your primary melee weapon. It cannot be bought or sold. It can be upgraded
through various Side Quests.
Bows
The bows are the most plentiful weapon in the game. They offer a wide variety of effects, all with
good range and high accuracy.
Rattlers
The rattlers are short range, burst fire weapons. They are designed for close quarters only, as
their accuracy drops off after just a few feet.
Ropecasters
The ropecasters are a form of tether device. They can be used to attach thick cables
to machines, pinning them in place. The bigger the machine, the more shots it will take. Useful
for locking down fast moving foes, or enemies who just won't back off.
Slings
Slings are slow firing weapons that launch bombs at targets. These bombs then detonate
dealing an elemental effect that usually lingers in an area for a short time. Although they deal low
base damage, they often deal very high elemental damage.
Tripcasters
The tripcasters, as the name implies, fired large wires designed to trip the enemy. They must be
fired between two objects, such as trees and when tripped, will detonate causing various effects.
Good for setting up traps with but less practical once a fight begins.
Tearblaster
This is a special weapon that is associated with the Hunting Grounds and can only be obtained
through the quests associated with it. This is a short range weapon that fires compressed air,
ripping off armor plates on nearby machines.
Hunting Grounds
There are a total of 5 Hunting Grounds in the game that work in concert with the Hunter
Lodge Side Quest in Meridian.
In order to have access to this quest you need to achieve at least 3 half suns in one competition.
If you complete everything you get the following trophies:
Blazing Suns at One Ground

All Suns at One Ground
Blazing Suns at All Grounds
All Suns at All Grounds
Also if you hand in all of your marks to the weapons dealer in the lodge you get access to three
ultimate gold plated weapons.

Nora hunting grounds
The first hunting ground you find. It has you removing canisters quickly from Grazers, killing them
with logs and using Blast Wires. For each trial don't be afraid to restart if the enemy placement
isn't correct. The most difficult task here is the Blast Wire. Instead of anticipating and covering all
exits wire up one pathway and move the herd with a strategically placed blast from your sling.
PARTS ALONE TRIAL
For this, you must break off canisters from the robots. This is much easier than it seems, so long
as you buy the Carja Sharpshot Bow.
With this new bow, you can fire a special arrow called the Tearblast Arrow. It explodes, ripping
off parts of machines in an area. Simply fire this arrow onto the back of any of
the machines and it will blow up 3-4 canisters at a time.
Shoot 3-4 of them, and you can easily get the gold medal, long before the timer runs out.
LOGPILE TRIAL
This one requires you to kill the machines with the logpiles scattered around the environment.
You can activate the logpiles by shooting the backs of them. Like the Keeper says, you can force
the herd to move by shooting bombs near them.
This one can be tricky, because even with careful planning, the herd sometimes goes in a
direction you don't want. You can try laying some tripwires to help stun and slow them while they
are under the logpiles. Also keep in mind that the logs take a second to roll down, so break open
the log piles a bit earlier, rather than later.
Due to the slight randomness of the herd, this trial can take a few tries.
BLAST WIRE TRIAL
This last one is fairly similar to the logpile, but much, much easier.
You should have a good idea where the herd runs, since this is the third trial. Set up blast wires
everywhere, just make sure they aren't side by side or else you might waste them.
They are particularly effective in the small canyons, and might even blow up a few machines at
once. Once you have several wires setup, fire a bomb near the herd to make it run and they
should dash right into the wires. Rinse and repeat this process a couple times and you'll easily
snag the 6 necessary kills.
Valleymeet Hunting Grounds
This will include the elemental use of Shock, Fire and Freeze. If you can help it, never try to kill
the Bellowbacks, stick with the Striders and search the area as opposed to wasting time killing
these big bad baddies.
Spurflints Hunting Grounds
Located in the southern jungle area of the Carja lands. These are some of the easiest trials that
use stealth and speed. If you haven't already, buy the Nora stealth suit and never look back.
WATCH OUT TRIAL
This trial simply requires you to get silent kills on Watchers. This shouldn't give you must trouble,
especially if you have both the stealth armor on, and the stealth upgrade from the talent tree.
SLEIGHT OF CRATE TRIAL
This will also require some stealth, but also lots of speed. You need to loot 4 crates in :50
seconds. The crates will have machines patrolling nearby. They come in groups of 3, so you'll
have to loot 3 crates, then run to the next group quickly.
We suggest scouting out the crate location first, learn where you can quickly run to all 4, then
reset the trial and do it again. The key is to not alert the Shell-Walkers, or else they will rush over
and try to protect the crates.
STALKER KILL TRIAL
This trial requires you to kill 2 Stalkers. That may not be tough normally, but often times the
Stalkers will also have several Watchers with them.
The key here is to kill the Watchers as soon as possible, so you can focus on the Stalkers. Once
you focus on the Stalkers, they aren't so bad. You can blast off their cloaking devices to make
them much easier to spot. Setting them on fire is a good way to deal damage while they run
around. It also helps you spot them easier.
Greatrun Hunting Grounds
Located in the western plains, these trials are DEADLY! When you are tying down enemies go for
distance and angles. Especially when battling Glinthawks stay on the upper area to make the
pulldowns that much simpler.
Sun Furrows Hunting Grounds
Located near Meridian, these trials have you manipulating your overrides and enemy weapons.
A simple process but be advised, you need to complete a certain set of Cauldrons to be able to
overtake Ravagers before you can complete the quest.
RAVAGER CONTROL TRIAL
This trial can be quite tough. First you must override the two nearby Ravagers. This shouldn't be
too tough, however there is always the chance that you get spotted by the Thunderjaw. Try your
absolute best not to let this happen, but if it does, don't fret. Just ignore him and keep trying to
override the Ravagers.
Once you have the two Ravagers, engage the Thunderjaw. The key to killing him quickly, is to
blast off his face cannons, and the one on his back. This makes him much weaker, and also
allows you to pick them up and dish out huge damage to him. If he's still alive after you shoot him
with his own cannons, then start blasting off his weak points using high Tear weapons. You can
also try using the Ropecaster to pin him to the ground, so your Ravager allies have a better time
of attacking him.
Ropecasters

Tips and Tricks
This page collects tips and tricks, strategies, and secrets you need to succeed in
Horizon Zero Dawn, from which weapons you should by to how to kill machines.

Add your tips to this page by clicking here.
Things to General What Horizon

Do First Tips Doesn't Tell You
Gameplay Tips
Here you will find tips, strategies and advice that applies can be used throughout a
playthrough of Horizon.
ALWAYS HAVE A FULL MED POUCH
This may seem obvious, but sometimes we forget to stop and smell the roses - or,
more accurately, stop and collect the life-saving herbs.
The woods, deserts, mountains and jungles of Horizon are full of medicinal plants -
always be sure to grab a few if your healing satchel is running low!
TEMPORARY INVINCIBILITY
When fighting larger bots, make use of the I-frames that occur in the first second of a
dodge/roll.
I-frames, or invincibility frames, sometimes occur during the beginning of a quick

player motion - they allow a brief moment of time where the player character is
invulnerable to damage.
FREE ITEMS FROM MERCHANTS
When you find a new merchant, navigate to the Treasure Boxes section of their sale
menu. Every vendor offers a Free Sample Box with some basic items inside.
FOCUS ON SPECIFIC VULNERABILITIES
Larger machines, such as Ravagers or Behemoths, have multiple vulnerable spots

that can be removed or damaged. You can see these by clicking the Right Stick and
scanning the enemy -- all vulnerable parts are highlighted in yellow. Hit the touch
pad to enter the full menu and you can look up elemental vulnerabilities for each
part in the Notebook section.
Focus on certain types of items - most notably Power Cells or Cryo Cannisters - to do
a massive amount of damage to these dangerous robo-beasts.
SET TRAPS AND TRIPWIRES IN CAULDRONS
When you reach the end of a Cauldron, there's almost always a formidable machine
waiting to be released against you. Before triggering this boss fight, be sure to plant
traps and tripwires all around the creature's enclosure.
This will either cause it to be stunned or damaged as soon as it breaks free, or it will
simply stay inside the makeshift pen, allowing you to pick it off from a distance.
CAULDRONS ARE HARD, INESCAPABLE
Save at a fire before entering a Cauldron. You may be trapped there with a boss
stronger than you and forced to revert to your outside save.
SAVE TO HEAL, RESTORE SOME AMMO
If you Quicksave before a battle and die, your life will be fully restored along with
any weapons you are holding that were dropped by a machine
(e.g. Thunderjaw or Ravager).
RESTORING A SAVE DELETES LOOT
If you die before collecting loot after a big battle, your loot will disappear.
THERE ARE NO AUTOSAVES IN THE OPEN WORLD
If you fight machines for 30 minutes and die without saving, you will be returned to
the last fire you saved at. Don't let that happen. Autosaves happen in quests,
however.
UPGRADE YOUR WEAPONS FOR MORE AMMO TYPES
There are three tiers of weapon: Basic (green), Carja (blue), Shadow (purple). You
can purchase Shadow weapons in the big, central city Meridian fairly early in the
game. Definitely upgrade: This is how you add elemental ammo types like ice
arrows.
UPGRADE YOUR HUNTER BOW
Hunter Bow seeming painfully weak? The Shadow Hunter Bow (see above) has
Hardpoint Arrows that do significant damage.
SPAM YOUR FIRE ARROWS
If you encounter a machine with a weakness to fire, pelt it with arrows until it
catches on fire. Suddenly your arrows will do vastly more damage.
Things to Do First
The First 17 Minutes of Horizon Zero Dawn in 4K

17:24
These are the tips you'll want to know before starting and during the first few hours
of your adventure through the post-post-apocalyptic world of Horizon Zero Dawn.
STARTING SKILLS
After completing the tutorial missions A Gift From the Past and Lessons of the Wild,
Aloy will possess three skill points to unlock new abilities with.
We recommend purchasing Silent Strike, Concentration and Lure Call as your

starting skills. Silent Strike and Lure Call work well in tandem to allow you to
eliminate nearby machines without engaging or alarming the ones nearby.
Concentration functions similarly, allowing you more time to line up bow shots - this
is especially useful for taking out Watchers before they can raise an alarm.
BIGGER BAGS
One of the first things you'll want to improve is your carrying capacity. We
specifically recommend focusing on crafting upgrades for your Resource Satchel first,
since this will allow you to carry more items you scavenge from enemies and around
the world.
You'll spend the first few hours of the game in The Expanse - this is the best location
for hunting wildlife and game, since the Machines in this area are less threatening
than anywhere else. After completing the tutorial missions, spend some time hunting
boar, turkey, rabbits, foxes and fish - you'll need their pelts and bones to craft more
elaborate satchels and pouches.
SCAVENGER SKILLS
After leveling up a few more times, you'll want to focus your skill points on
purchasing abilities in the third column of the Forager skill tree.
Horizon Zero Dawn Official Skills and Abilities Trailer

01:13
The Gatherer and Scavenger skills are helpful for crafting, and Disarm Traps is
helpful, too ( being able to collect unused traps and tripwires is a great relief on
resource management). The Tinker ability, however, may be the most important one
in the (later) game, as it allows you to keep modifications when removing them
from weapons and outfits instead of destroying them.
TUTORIALS EARN FREE XP
After acquiring a new weapon or ammo type, be sure to enter your Quest menu and
set the newly-added Tutorial quest as active, then complete a single final objective.
For example: That means that you can kill 2 boars out of three, but you'll need to kill
the third one while the quest is active for it to count.
This is a great way to earn bonus XP quickly, helping you power through the early
levels of the game.
COMMIT WEAK SPOTS TO MEMORY
It may seem daunting, but being able to recognize a machine's vulnerabilities

without your Focus will be a valuable skill during combat.
Horizon Zero Dawn: Taking Down a Deadly Sawtooth 4K

01:36
Scan every machine you encounter and take note of where their vulnerabilities lie --
and what types of damage will be most effective against them!
DON'T HOARD RESOURCES
Outifts, weapons and special items are cheap in the world of Horizon - don't be
stingy and hold onto every single item that you scavenge early on.
You can trade them to merchants for currency or better items, and if you run out you
can always acquire more.
COLLECT POWER CELLS

Horizon Zero Dawn - All Power Cell Locations - Best Way to Play
03:44
There are five hidden power cells to be found throughout the main campaign that
will trigger a special side quest to unlock some very powerful armor. Keep your eyes
peeled during your journey - or find them all here.
SHARPSHOT BOW
While you can get through the early stages of the game with only your Hunter Bow
and Tripcaster, make sure to purchase a Carja Sharpshot from the traders past the
Embrace gate.
It's TearBlast arrows will prove invaluable against larger machines - especially
Ravagers, Glinthawks and ThunderJaws.
GET A FREE ROPECASTER
If you trust your ability to tackle any foe with merely a bow and some tripwires, don't
bother purchasing a Ropecaster from any of the vendors - you'll receive a free one
during the quest Maker's End (though it is several hours into the main storyline).
What Horizon Doesn't Tell You
For a game that contains so many optional tutorials, there's a surprising amount of
information that Horizon Zero Dawn either explains poorly or forgets to tell players
entirely.
WEAPONS USE SPECIFIC AMMO TYPES
Different weapons all require different ammo types. You may say "Well, DUH," but
this also applies to the quality of the various weapons as well. TearBlast arrows, for
example, can only be used with the Carja or Shadow Sharpshot Bow, and while the
basic Tripcaster can use shock tripwires, only the Shadow version can utilize flaming
ones.
Be sure you examine what ammo types a weapon is able to fire before purchasing.
MOUNTS HAVE AUTO-PILOT
Much like in other large open world titles, when Aloy overrides a Strider, Broadhead
or Charger to use as a mount, they will attempt to follow the path of whatever
roadway they're traveling on, without players having to steer them along.
All players are responsible for is maintaining speed and defending against / avoiding
nearby enemies.
NPCS KEEP PACE
When in a quest or activity that requires you to travel on foot with an NPC, you can
walk, run or sprint at whatever speed you like - the other characters traveling with
you will move at your pace.
CAULDRONS LET YOU OVERRIDE NEW MACHINES
Aloy can learn to override new, more powerful machines throughout the world by
venturing into Cauldrons and hacking into their power core. These dungeon-like
subterranean chambers are usually occupied by Watchers (and some larger
creatures) and have a more dangerous machine guarding their core.
While there is a side quest that leads Aloy to her first Cauldron, it's easy to bypass if
you aren't engaging in every optional mission you encounter.
FAST TRAVEL
Aloy can fast-travel between campsites that she's discovered, but doing so uses 1
Fast-Travel Pack.
These resources can be purchased or crafted from resources, and there are vendors
in Meridian and other large settlements who possess Golden Fast Travel Packs, which
allow for unlimited fast traveling.
SMASH ROCK BARRIERS
While exploring caverns, bunkers and abandoned buildings of the Old Ones, Aloy will
occasionally encounter doors blocked by rock formations.
She can destroy these stalagmites and stalactites with her spear to gain access to
these closed-off areas.
DON'T "TOP OFF" YOUR AMMO
Depending on how many resources you're carrying, it may not be

worth crafting those last few arrows to hit max ammo.
Each stack of ammunition, whether you're crafting two or 12 individual arrows, costs
the same amount of resources. So if you've got 37/40 arrows, it's not worth wasting
the 10 Metal Shards required to craft an ammo pack that will only yield two arrows.
Power Cell Locations
EDIT PAGE Last Edit: March 9, 2017 - 22 days ago
This page contains the hidden Power Cell locations in Horizon Zero Dawn.
Horizon Zero Dawn - All Power Cell Locations - Best Way to Play
03:44
Finding these items and completing the side quest Ancient Armory will unlock the
powerful Shield Weaver armor, which renders Aloy nearly invincible for a time while
wearing it. The power cells are presented below in the chronological order they can
be obtained in during the main quest line.
Power Cell 01: Underground Bunker

The first Power Cell can actually be found while exploring the open world after
completing the prologue as Young Aloy. Return to the ruins where you found your
Focus device and retrace your path through the barracks and down the stairs until
you come to a closed door.
Pry open the door ahead of you and move through the offices to head back upstairs.
At the top of the steps youll find a room with a doorway blocked by rock formations
on your right - use your spear to smash through the rocks and collect the power cell
off the desk.
Power Cell 02: All-Mother Temple

The next Power Cell can be found in the All-Mother Temple in Mothers Watch during
the quest Womb of the Mountain, right after you complete The Proving. After finding
your equipment and speaking to Matriarch Teersa, cross the hall to the locked door
before following her out of the stronghold.
Next to the locked door is an open ventilation duct - move through it to enter the
room beyond the door and collect a Power Cell.
If you did not collect the Power Cell during the quest you can return to Mother's
Watch at night to get back into the All-Mother Temple. If you go during the day the
gate will be locked. NOTE: If you fast travel to Mother's Watch you'll need to
walk/run to, and over, the bridge outside of town before the gate will open.
Power Cell 03: Makers End

The third power cell can be found in Makers End, initially during the story quest of
the same name. Once youve scaled the F.A.S. building all the way up to Faros Office
- near the end of the mission - youll want to scale the tower at the east end of the
office to the very tip-top of of the skyscraper.
Pick up the power cell and rappel back down.
Power Cell 04: The Grave Hoard

The next Cell can be collected starting in the mission at and called the Grave Hoard.
After descending down into the ruins, youll need to open an electronic lock by
resetting three mechanisms to continue the mission.
Once the lock has been opened, youll find this power cell lying on the ground on the
other side of the door.
Power Cell 05: GAIA Prime

The final power cell can be found in the ruins during the mission The Mountain That
Fell. After speaking to Sylens in his workshop, climb down the elevator shaft and
rappel down into the ruins.
Before following your objective marker to the right, turn left and walk north. Climb up
the rubble ahead of you and head into the blue-lit cave ahead of you.
On a shelf in the back room youll find the final power cell.
Collectibles

Banuk Relics
The Banuk Relics are very rare Collectibles scattered around the map. Like many
others, you can purchase a map from certain vendors to get a general idea of where
they are.
Set 1 - Banuk 1
This Banuk is found North-East of the Devil's Thirst Bandit Camp.
When you get to the base of the mountain, you'll see various paintings on the rock.
They will show you where to roughly climb, so follow them to the top and you'll soon
have your item.
Set 1 - Banuk 2
This Banuk is found near Hunter's Gathering.

To begin, climb the pole inside the village, that's in the North-West corner.
Next, climb up the wall until you are on your feet again. Run past the zip line and into
the mountains and continue climbing up. You will have a long climbing section as it
takes you up, then all the way around the mountain side. Eventually the climbing
ends with you standing beside the Banuk.
Set 2 - Banuk 1
This Banuk is located a bit East of the Banuk Encampment.

To start, head to the bottom portion of the circle on the map. You are looking for a
spot on the cliffside where some paintings are. This is where you begin your climb.
There will be several jumps involved, and a lot of climbing but eventually it ends with
you getting the Banuk near the top of the cliff.
Set 2 - Banuk 2
This Banuk is located West of Meridian.

To start, head to the campfire that is West of Meridian. It sits on top of a cliff, so
slowly head towards the Banuk, but don't go down the cliff.
When you get closed to it, you will see a rope. Jump down to the end of the rope
that's near the cliff you are walking along, then simply walk along the rope to the
Banuk. This saves you from having to climb up to get it.
Set 3 - Banuk 1

Guys, on reddit we all worked together, and compiled ALL the datapoints!
here's a link https://redd.it/5yda2p
Its called Compiling All Datapoints by Tokbirn! It was a group effort but he
organized all locations. There aren't images, but there is specific descriptions of
all datapoint locations. Especially the Text-World ones!
The Datapoints are marked on a map :)

Text Datapoints for machines: 1-4 are all from Tallnecks and the last five are
from cauldrons. I'm still not sure where to get #5, as I've completed all of the two
other sources. The last 4 hologram points are all gotten through the story, and if
you explore in All-Mother a lot there are some in there. There are also a lot of
data points scattered throughout the ruins after you meet Sylens at his old
workshop, as well as in his workshop. Also, easy one to miss: when you're in the
ruin after you're spoken to by General Herres you'll be led into another room
where Sobeck is going to "explain the rest". If I'm not mistaken, in this room
there is a way to climb the wall in front and to your right a bit. There's an audio
log there. There are also other logs in the room so check around a bit.

@ArchangeLillith I thought I didn't get the fifth text datapoint - machine because
I somehow finished a tallneck inappropriately (i.e. didn't rappel down)? Seems to
be not the case? Or did you actually face a similar issue then. I thought that was
a bug in the game. It can only be from a tallneck, right? Otherwise it would look
quite weird...

These collectibles are references to the partnership between Horizon developer

Guerilla Games and Kojima Productions, who will be using the Decima game engine
(which powers Horizon) in their first game Death Stranding.
Horizon Zero Dawn: All Kojima / Death Stranding Item Locations

03:07
There are three Stranded items to collect throughout the game.
Stranded Necklace
This item can be found during the mission The Grave Hoard, before using the guide
rail to descend into the bunker.
After clearing the area of Shadow Carja and Corrupted Machines, head around back
of the tank to the left of the path leading down into the bunker to find the Stranded
Necklace on a withered skeleton.
Stranded Shackles
The Stranded Shackles can be found during the quest Deep Secrets of the Earth, or
by traveling back to the Zero Dawn Bunker after completing this mission.
From the room where you received your second holographic briefing, head through
the door into the next room. Follow the path to the left of the security booth and into
the room beyond.
Move through the door at the end of the small office on your right and turn to the left
- on the far end of the room you'll find the shackles.
Stranded Figure
This item can be found in the All-Mother bunker, Eleuthia-9 during the quest Heart of
the Nora (or by returning later).
When you first enter the bunker, head through the lobby and down the stairs beyond
the door. Before proceeding down the hall, turn around to retrieve the figure from
beneath the staircase.
Rewards
The Stranded items can be turned into the Mysterious Boxes merchant in Meridian,
the City of the Sun.
While visiting this merchant, you can trade in your Stranded Necklance, Stranded
Shackles and Stranded Figure for a Mysterious Box, inside of which you'll find a Very
Rare item modification, a few other trinkets and a pair of Warm Socks. It's currently
unknown whether or not the Warm Socks have a hidden meaning or function - their
only described purpose is for selling to merchants. However, this being a Kojima
easter egg, it may be a good idea to hang onto them for a while.
Vantages
EDIT PAGE Last Edit: February 28, 2017 - 1 month ago
This page contains all of the Vantage locations in Horizon: Zero Dawn.
There are 12 Vantage Caches to access in total, broken into three sets of four. They

This Vantage can be found just north of the Tallneck in Devils Thirst, up in the

make your way upwards.
Climb through the towers skeleton to find the vantage on a ledge facing West.

but the camp - you can find this Vantage on top of a small pillar of rocks looking back
towards the encampment.
Bridal Veil Falls

This Vantage lies to the south-east of the Daytower, just below the Two-Teeth bandit
camp on the map. Approaching from the east, find the climbing path to the left of the
road sign for Daytower when exiting the Forsaken Village.
Climb the rock face then up over the two smaller rock walls on your right to find the
vantage.
Eagle Canyon
At the base of the steps leading from the Cut Cliffs settlement down to Meridian
Gate, there is a climb path on the rocky face along the western side of the trail.
Look for it beneath a grapple branch, then climb the cliffside up to the rappelling
point to find the Vantage.
Monument Valley
Facing the gates of Sunstone, in the south-west corner of the map, head to the edge
of a large rock formation near the eastern path to the city.
Follow the climb path up the rock face, then use the zipline to head back down
towards the path and find the vantage on the landing.
Bryce Orbital
Heading up the base of the path east of Sunfall leading north towards Makers end,
head towards the rock formations on your left.
Make your way up the climbable path, then cross the short plateau at the top and
continue to climb along the wall.When you reach the end of this second climb path,
youll need to take out two scrappers.
Once theyve been dealt with, the Vantage can be found overlooking Sunfall.
Lake Powell
Across the river to the north of Brightmarket, make your way along the shore (or
climb down from the northern plateau above)
Use the tightrope to make your way out to the free-standing rock formation, then
climb the side up to the top to locate the Vantage.
Faro Automated Solutions
In the wooded mountains to the south of Makers End, near a Shell-Walker feeding
area, make your way up into to rocky snowy foothills of the mountaintop. Beware of
Scrappers and Ravagers, and find a large chunk of dark grey stone protruding from
the mountainside on your right.
Climb your way up and around this old structure, then collect the Vantage from the
top overlooking Makers End.
Kings Peak
This Vantage can be found in the area where you fight the Stormbird on your way to
meet Sylens in The Mountain That Fell, near the end of the main questline. After
climbing up the side of the waterfall, there is a climbable section of rocks ahead of
you on the left.
Climb up and around the cliffs to find the Vantage looking towards GAIA Prime.
Sterling-Malkeet Amphitheater
In the rocky hills to the west of Devils Grief, across the thin river, youll find an open
area between two large rock formations (this is also a Corrupted Zone).
Theres a natural set of steps running up between the rocks - follow it towards the
top and beneath the southern cliff face youll find this Vantage.
Denver Stadium
At the eastern edge of Devils Grief sits the twisted remains of a massive skyscraper
- just to the south of the Iron Ring encampment you invade in the Main
Quest Revenge of the Nora.
From inside the base of this building, use the climb path to reach the open ledge high
in the north-west corner of the building, overlooking the Iron Ring.

Tripcasters
The Tripcasters are, as the name implies, a series of weapons designed to trip your
enemies. They fire a large wire that you must attach to two objects. When an enemy
walks through the wire, they will be heavily damaged.
Like most weapons, the Tripcasters come in three types.
TRIPCASTER
This is the Green version of the weapon. It can be bought from nearly any merchant
for 90 Metal Shards. It has 1 mod slot and 30 handling.
It has 1 ammo type, allowing you to fire electrical trip wires.

CARJA TRIPCASTER
This is the Blue version of the weapon. It can be bought from merchants after you
reach the Mother's Crown area for 180 Metal Shards and 10 Chillwater. It has 2 mod
slots and 30 handling.
This weapon has the same electrical trip wires as before, but also unlocks Explosive
Wires, which deal high amounts of non-elemental damage.
SHADOW TRIPCASTER
This is the Purple version of the weapon. It can be bought from merchants after you
reach Daytower for 800 Metal Shards and 1 Scrapper Heart. It has 3 mod slots and
has 30 handling.
This weapon has the same previous two ammo types, but also unlocks the Fire Wire,
which deals a high amount of fire damage when tripped.
Tearblaster
The Tearblaster is a special weapon that is obtained during the Hunter's Blind Side
Quest in Horizon: Zero Dawn.
As you complete the Hunting Grounds you will unlock the quest. Once finished, you
receive a treasure box containing this weapon.
The Tearblaster is a short range gun that fires bursts of compressed air. It rips of the
armor plates of machines that are very close to you. It deals virtually no damage, so
use it only to rip off armor.
There are no other types of this weapon.
Weapon Modifications
Weapon Mods are obtained all throughout the game, from many various enemies
and areas.
There are three classifications. Green, Blue and Purple, with Purple being the best.
Not only are there three types, but each mod you find has randomly generated stats,
making each one slightly different.
Have a lot of extra mods? Sell them! They go for good money and a lot of the Green
and Blue mods aren't worth holding on to as you get further in the game.
Once you have a mod, you can put it inside a weapon to bolster it. When using them,
it's best to increase the highest stat, instead of bringing up the lowest. For instance,
the Hunter Bow is a great Fire and Tear weapon, so increasing these two stats on it
makes more sense then Damage or Handling.
Once placed, a Weapon Mod cannot be removed, unless you have a specific talent
from the bottom of the skill tree. Until you have this talent, we suggest only placing
in Mods that you are certain about, as there's a chance you might never get it back!
Ropecasters
The Ropecasters are one of the many weapons found in Horizon: Zero Dawn.
These weapons fire thick ropes that help tie down varies machines, pinning them in
place. There are 4 types of Ropecasters in the game.
ROPECASTER
This is the basic Ropecaster (Green variant) and can be purchased after making a bit
of progress into the game. It costs 75 Metal Shards, has 50 handling and 1 mod slot.
The Ropecaster fires thick cables, that help tie down enemies pinning them in place.
CARJA ROPECASTER
This is the Blue variant of the weapon. It's available later in the game, after reaching
Daytower and beyond. It costs 200 Metal Shards and 6 Echo Shell. It has 50 handling
and 2 mod slots.
This version doesn't gain any new ammo type. The only improvement is an
additional mod slot.
SHADOW ROPECASTER
This is the Purple variant of the weapon. It's available after reaching Meridian and
costs 500 Metal Shards and 1 Snapmaw Heart.
This version doesn't gain any stat bonuses, but does gain an additional mod slot.
LODGE ROPECASTER
This is a special variant of the weapon, obtained after completing the Hunting
Grounds. It has 70 handling and 3 mod slots.
This version gains no bonuses over the Shadow one, other than some additional
handling.
