Basics

Horizon: Cipher Dawn does a expert job of explaining the basic game mechanics and features, only some mechanics are slightly subconscious or improperly explained in a what that helps you fully utilize them to their maximum potential. The post-obit department covers these gameplay features, every bit well every bit basic information that may be obvious to some players.

Health & Medicine Pouch

Survival against the machines is the most important component in Aloy'due south take chances, especially exterior the relative safety of All-Mother's Embrace. Aloy's health (HP) is indicated by the bar in the upper left of the HUD, which will be diminished when she receives damage from machines or other hazardous ecology effects, and if Aloy reaches cipher HP she will die.

There are two ways to restore Aloy's HP:

The Medicine Pouch, indicated by the green bar below Aloy's health, tin can be filled past gathering diverse herbs and will gradually restore HP
Health Potions, which can be crafted and institute, instantly heals a set amount of HP

In addition, if Aloy is damaged below 25% HP she'll automatically regenerate HP until she returns to 25%, provided she can avoid damaged long enough for the ability to kick in.

Difficulty

At the offset of the game you'll exist prompted to choose a difficulty setting to make up one's mind what level of claiming you want for Aloy's journey. This setting modifies the impairment dealt to Aloy, besides as the harm she does to machines, but does not touch on driblet rates or the corporeality of experienced gained.

Difficulty	Dmg. to Enemies	Dmg. to Aloy
Easy	125%	50%
Normal	100%	100%
Hard	90%	125%
Very Hard	80%	150%

Level Progression

Aloy's capabilities are based on her electric current level, which starts at level 1 and can exist increased by gaining experience through combat or completing quests. With each level increase, Aloy gains a 10 health (HP) increase and a single Skill Point.

Skills

Equally Aloy gains levels and completes main quests and some side quests, she'll proceeds Skill Points that can be used to purchase abilities. While some abilities are passive, increasing the size of your Medicine Pouch or increasing the corporeality of time a motorcar volition remain overridden, quite a few increase Aloy's combat abilities past allowing her to perform special attacks or increasing the number of arrows that she tin nock on her bow at one time.

The Focus

The almost important tool in the game, the Focus can be used for anything from scanning Datapoints to analyzing and highlighting subconscious information in the world. While primarily used to scan the machines to learn their weak points, the Focus can also be used to tag enemy paths or locate tracks left by individuals. To activate, press R3 to bring up the scan reticule and target a auto, beast, Datapoint or other object for more information. While active, Aloy's movements slow to a crawl and disable the ability to access the Weapon Wheel or Items.

Navigation & Objectives

Horizon: Zero Dawn works on a "mission" or quest based progression, meaning that you'll always take an objective. Whether you're focusing on the Master Quests or optional content, the goal and next objective for each quest is clearly listed in the Quest tab of the Primary Menu. The result of this system is that when a quest is set to the current active quest, via the Main Menu, the game will automatically place waypoint markers on the map to signal the location of the next objective. These waypoint markers can be seen past opening up the Map in the Main Menu or via the compass at the top of the HUD.

Campfires & Fast Travel

As you explore the world, you'll automatically activate campfires when Aloy approaches them. While important, due to the fact that they allow you lot to save your game progression, campfires also become Fast Travel points. To Fast Travel, bring up the Map in the Master Menu as select any activated campfire (marked in green) and printing to Fast Travel to its location. Note that yous must have at to the lowest degree 1 Fast Travel Pack in your inventory.

Inventory & Chapters Upgrades

Every weapon, outfit, modification, resource, and consumable item you find or craft in the game is carried in Aloy's inventory. Unlike many games, Horizon has an inventory management system that allots a certain number of spaces bachelor for each category of item, such as Resources. Once these allotted spaces are full, Aloy will be unable to collect additional items of that category until you make more infinite by dropping items, selling items at a Merchant, or consuming them.

While inventory is limited, you can craft capacity upgrades for each of Aloy's bags by visiting the Crafting tab in the Main Carte. Each upgrade requires a sure number of resources of varying types, such as creature skins and Metal Shards, simply will aggrandize the maximum number of items within the given category that Aloy tin carry.

See Carry Chapters in the Crafting Recipes section for more than information

Crafting

Mastering the Crafting system is essential for survival in the wilds and allows Aloy to utilise Resources to create consumable items and ammunition, modify weapons and outfits, and increase her inventory capacity. All Crafting Recipes and chapters upgrade require a set number of dissimilar Resources, and Metallic Shards, to create and can exist accessed via the Crafting tab in the Master Carte. Note that ammunition can be crafted on the fly from the Weapon Bike and modifying weapons and equipment does non crave anything, except a modification slot and modification node.

Supply Caches & Treasure Boxes

Resources are essential for keeping Aloy armed with plenty of ammo and supplies, only resources can be found in more locations than simply annexation machine carcasses. Supply Caches are loot containers placed throughout the earth, often in towns and brigand camps, that contain a random set of items and resources in larger quantities than found on machines. Make sure to keep an eye out for these i-time only containers, every bit they can stock up Aloy when she runs low on supplies.

Treasure Boxes, like Supply Caches, are loot containers that contain a random set of items based on the type of treasure box they area. Different Supply Caches, Treasure Boxes are stored in the Inventory > Treasure Boxes tab of the Main Card and tin be opened at any time to retrieve the contents within. These special boxes can be obtained by defeating enemies, completing quests, or purchased at Merchants.

Collectibles & Datapoints

There are four types of collectibles in the game: Vantage Points, Ancient Vessels, Metal Flowers, and Banuk Figures. While collecting these items offers very piddling, in terms of rewards or benefits, they do give you lot additional story information and tin be traded in when yous accomplish the Carja majuscule of Meridian for treasure boxes.

Datapoints are Horizon'south version of backstory and exposition, via data logs that tin can exist establish throughout the world. While in that location is no trophy or reward for collecting Datapoints, they offering the most in-depth information on the events of the by.

Battle Nuts

The majority of Horizon: Nil Dawn's gameplay revolves around gainsay against machines. While the game does offering some bones combat information and tutorials on how to use each weapon, the following will focus on roofing any information that players may detect lacking inside the game.

Melee Attacks

The but close-range weapons in Horizon are Aloy'southward makeshift Spear, which is gained at the start of the game, and the upgraded Lance, gained much later. Both weapons are limited to light attacks () and heavy attacks (), only special attacks like Silent Strike and Critical Striking can be purchased from the Skill tree to increase the multifariousness of attacks.

Ranged Attacks

The majority of Aloy's attacks are mid to long-range attacks, using a varied of bows and slings, and are the centre of Horizon's combat arrangement. Each weapon type, such every bit Hunter Bow or Sharpshot Bow, has a unique fix of arrows and upgraded versions of each bow, such as the Carja or Shadow, will increase the type of arrows each bow type can shoot. While bows are primarily used for damage, through Hunter Arrows and Precision Arrows, some arrows focus less on damage and more on tearing machine components off enemies. In addition, the War Bow adds elemental arrows that can be used to create status effects on enemies.

In addition to bows, Aloy can apply slings and a Rattler to vary your combat manner based on the needs of each encounter. Unlike bows, slings lob projectiles in an arcing style and have a slower charge per unit of burn, typically made up for past increased power. There are two types of slings: the basic sling that fires elemental bombs that can exist used to create status effects on enemies, similar the War Bow, and Blast Slings, which fire damaged explosive grenades. The Rattler, on the other manus, is a rapid fire, low harm, weapon that fires burst of bolts, similar to an automatic crossbow.

Weapon Wheel

Aloy can equip upwardly to four weapons at a time, in addition to the Spear/Lance, via the Inventory tab in the Main Menu. Once equipped, Aloy tin can switch between the weapons on the wing by holding to select the weapon of your selection, allowing you lot to mix upwardly your strategy no affair the situation. In addition, the Weapon Bicycle can be used to craft ammunition on the fly by simply hovering over the ammo blazon and holding .

Tripwires & Traps

Placing tripwires and traps in advance, earlier engaging in gainsay, in the path of the machines can requite you a leg up in boxing. The Tripcaster, introduced through the early campaign, allows Aloy to burn down two pivots into the ground to create a tripwire between the two points. While the Tripcaster only starts with a Shock Wires, upgraded versions will grant you lot access to more useful versions such equally Nail Wires.

There are also three types of consumable traps: Blast Traps, which deals damage when it explodes (proximity), Detonating Nail Traps, which deals damage when information technology explode (contact or destroyed), and Shock Traps, which daze enemies when it explodes (proximity).

Damage Types

While straight damage is the master way to defeat enemies in Horizon, some weapons offer additional effects that are highly valuable.

Type	Effect (Machine)	Issue (Human being)
Damage	Reduces HP with no secondary consequence
Tear	Deals no damage, but tears/explodes certain components and armor	Knockdown
Fire	Fire build-up that deals damage over time when inflicted
Shock	Stuns and downs enemies, opening them up to Critical Strikes
Freeze	Slows movement and increase "Harm" up to 200%	Slows motility and increases "Damage" upwardly to 50%
Corruption	Enemies become hostile to all units, including allies*

*Annotation that Corrupted machines tin can non exist corrupted by arrows to assault each other.

Modifications

Modifications are special items that can exist equipped to Aloy's weapons and outfits to increase their abilities for offensive or defensive ways. Modifications come up in 3 varieties: Common, Rare, and Very Rare.

Nearly weapons allow y'all to equip a number of different types of modifications (Fire, Freeze, Tear, Handling, etc) based on the weapons abilities and ammunition types. While equipping a weapon with the get-go modification you get may seem similar a skillful idea, choosing mods that arrange your gameplay style and ammo usage should be considered when placing mods in each weapon. For instance, if you rarely use Shock Arrows vs. Freeze Arrows, you'll likely desire to equip the War Bow with Freeze mods over Shock mods.

Note that you will be unable to un-equip modification from your weapons and outfits until you buy the "Tinker" skill, just modifications can be overwritten with another mod.

Car Armor & Evolution

In order to protect themselves, machines have armor plates over their bodies and absorb 90% of the damage dealt and sometimes protect their weak points. These armor plates have their own HP and trigger-happy threshold, so removing them is essential for defeating difficult and unsafe enemies. That being said, elemental attacks such as Fire and Freeze will have full potency, even when striking an armor plate.

Since machines are constantly in the production, which is explained throughout the story, they tin evolve to better protect themselves. This development occurs subsequently defeating enough machines of the same blazon, such as 15 Striders, and results in additional armor plates appearing on the evolved variant.

Overriding Machines

At a certain point in the game, Aloy will gain the ability to override and command machines. This will permit Aloy to "recruit" powerful machines to fight alongside her in gainsay and sometimes ride them as mounts to travel quickly across terrain. To override a car y'all'll need to arroyo a machine without entering combat and press and concur to hack into the machine until the Override Estimate completely fills. Note that Aloy volition only be able to override a limited number of machines when she gains this power, just tin expand her capabilities by completing Cauldrons.

One time overridden, machines will remain allied to Aloy for a sure amount of time, though this can be extended or removed through Skills, and gain a benefaction to their defensive and offensive capabilities. This means that overridden machines make great allies in difficult situations, but be wary of attacking overridden machines as information technology will reduce the time remaining in Aloy'south control (even if prepare to indefinitely through Skills).

Corrupted Machines

Corrupted machines are constitute in special zones, known as Corrupted Zones, where they patrol in an agile alert status. Stronger than their not-corrupt counterparts, corrupted machines are highly aggressive and weak to Fire. In addition, corrupted machines are immune to being overridden or abuse past Aloy and merely appear within their zones or through story events.

Due to the water and open infinite information technology'southward hard to sneak effectually in this expanse and the alert bell is directly in the center of the area. Stay on the outskirts of the area and defeat the cultists with Burn Arrows while trying to stay undetected. If you are spotted, make sure you can see the alarm and kill whatever cultist that heads toward information technology to phone call in reinforcements.

The 3rd campsite is to the n of the previous army camp or northeast of the start camp and has a number of cultists. Sneak through the tall grass to the partially destroyed stone wall on the south side of the camp and then shoot a Fire Arrow into the Blaze on the stationary cultists back to explode it. This should disorient the other cultists and allow you sneak up on any of the cultists that investigate.
