If you want to know how to fly in Horizon Forbidden W and get the Sunwing override, we're virtually to explicate the Wings of the X mission, and when and where information technology all happens. Obviously if y'all don't desire to know all that, then stop reading. We won't spoil anything other than the human action of flying in Horizon Forbidden West simply if yous're not hither looking for the information ahead, and so leave.

Unsurprisingly, being able to fly in Horizon Forbidden Westward, when you unlock the ability to override Sunwings, is a game changer. Of a sudden you tin go around style faster and previously inaccessible areas open up - at that place are parts of the map and collectibles that flight makes easier to reach for certain, just besides some places you absolutely cannot accomplish on foot.

How unlock the Sunwing overide and fly in Horizon Forbidden West and

To be able to fly in Horizon Forbidden Due west you're going to need to complete the chief mission Gemini. I'm not going to directly explain what that is to avert spoiling too much, but it's a level 30 mission that takes place quite a way into the story - it'due south not quite stop game territory but more or less there. This mission will have some time and features several stages and an interlude you lot'll be locked into, before you lot can return to your base, so be prepared for a journeying.

Even when yous do become back to your base, there'southward still a few more Gemini loose ends to necktie up before you lot'll start the Wings of the Ten mission. Depending on what side missions you might have already discovered, you might recognise this as some quests can't be attempted until y'all've completed information technology.

The start of this mission volition meet you crafting a Sunwing override:

Because crafting the override is the offset step of the quest, it might experience like you're locked into some other big mission only you can suspension off if you want. We hacked our offset Sunwing, for example, and immediately went and sorted out the locked Tallneck that had been bothering us for most of the game. Still, hacking the Sunwing does lead nicely into the rest of the mission and involves a big chunk of flight so it's not the worst thing to meet it through to the end.

In one case it'due south over you'll notice the Sunwing acts like any other mount, although it occupies a divide slot so you can have both a ground and air pick at in one case. If you whistle it'll scoop you upwards off the ground and you tin can leap off with square at any fourth dimension. It'll normally exist hovering around above you once you leave information technology behind and you can Pullcaster up when the prompt appears.
