Walkthrough “Singularity” Horizon Forbidden West

From Memorial Grove, quickly get to the base. At the base, Alui must gather everyone before the upcoming big battle. It's time to destroy Zenith once and for all, save GAIA and Beta, and end the decline. Enter the control room where GAIA was and gather your companions. During the meeting, Tilda and Sylens explain the plan.

When you're ready, go outside and head to the meeting point. If you wish, you can talk to your companions before leaving the Base. There is a fast travel bonfire near Tilda's mansion if you want to get closer to your final destination. From this campfire, you can mount the Sunwing and fly towards it. At the location, approach the fire to call your companions.

Here the game warns you about the point of no return, telling you that if you confirm, you will be locked in this mission and the open world will be inaccessible until you finish the game. Don't worry, the open world will still be available after completing the story. If you want, you can take this opportunity to stock up on ammo, traps, rework the weapon wheel, and level up. Instead, if you're ready, just confirm. After gathering everyone together, Tilda will open a secret tunnel to access the Zenith headquarters.

Everyone has a job. As for us, we need to head to the Launch Tower. Immediately after you jump off the ledge, you will encounter several Ghosts. Scan them now if you haven't already done so during the main quest The Gates of Death (THE MACHINE THAT IS NOT MISSABLE). While you can completely ignore them, we suggest dealing with them for XP. It is best to use acid or plasma arrows, as they are their weakness. Then equipping a Regalla bow for Precision Arrows will make a difference. There are also a lot of dead cars in this area if you need scraps.

Proceed to the next waypoint and enter the cave. Make your way through the cave using the glider and then back out where more Ghosts are waiting for you. Again, sneak or fight the Specters. We suggest hiring them for a lot of XP. Walk along the cliff and clear the vine when you see the flower. Then continue through the cave and use the Stormbird carcass to get to the other side.

Now more Ghosts. Again, sneak or fight. We suggest hiring them for a lot of XP. Continue sliding along the wall (by one of the Mechanics) and finally past the Ghost and up the wall. After the cutscene, continue along the cliff to reach a new area with some Ghosts.

Now more Ghosts. Again, sneak or fight. We suggest hiring them for a lot of XP. Then use the stone ramps to climb up the rusty scaffolding and keep going. A little later, Sylens and Zo will be with us again. Climb up the stairs and then look for the yellow climb points on the rock. Now keep following the only path until a cutscene will play.

After safely leaving the battlefield, we can finally get to the top of the tower to rescue GAIA and Beta. Run to the tower and activate the freight elevator. However, Eric will sneak up on us, and now that he is vulnerable, we can finally kill him.

Erik is vulnerable to fire and frost, so in combat, prioritize those two elements to weaken him, then fire arrows at will to deal maximum damage. As for Eric himself, his attacks are fast and most of them happen in the air, so dodging is your best ally. Bonus tip: Frost is actually stronger than Fire here. When using ice ammo, he will freeze for a couple of seconds, allowing you to hit him more easily. When you deplete his health bar, Zo will join you and avenge Varl.

Now that Eric is gone, we can safely reach the top of the tower. Approach the panel to activate the freight elevator and go upstairs. However, while we are going up, Gerard manages to block the elevator. Luckily, Aloy is an experienced climber. Activate your Focus to highlight some yellow climb points on one of the elevator frames and start climbing until you reach a small metal plank.

From here, lower the blue loop with the Pullcaster to keep going. Keep climbing until you reach another rusty area with a ladder. Climb up the various ladders and don't forget to activate Focus to find out where you need to go. Finally, activate the console.

In an unexpected turn of events, the Tilda is now our main enemy, and she turned the Ghost into the Prime Ghost, a heavy and much more deadly version than any other machine. Scan it first. It won't be easy to take it down, but it's still weak to acid and plasma. So, prioritize those elements and just like the previous Specters, unleash Precision Arrows on him for maximum damage. Placing multiple acid traps will also provide maximum damage.

And finally, get to the Control Center. GAIA and Beta are saved, Zeniths and the extinction of the world are stopped. However, a new threat looms in the distance. Will Aloy and her friends be ready for it to come?
