you better climb the rock on the right and look towards the waterfall.

You should see a nearby cave.

Climb up there and go inside.

Your task is to get down to the bottom of the cauldron.

you’re able to either rappel down or use the Shieldwing.

After entering the cauldron, you will see another element that is impossible to override with a spear.

To unlock the path, you oughta destroy the element shown in the screenshot above.

A new mechanic will be introduced to you.

Simply pull them using the pullcaster.

Their appearance will instantly change, from blue to yellow.

you could now use them while climbing.

After reaching a certain point, you’ll encounter a mechanism that can be overridden.

This one will fire up the path forward.

Further ahead, you’ll encounter some opponents and additional blue elements.

Start by taking care of enemies.

PlayStation

Consider a stealthy approach to earn some XP and avoid having a full-on battle on your hands.

Once the area is clear, you should probably pull the platform number 1 to the area number 2.

This will pop kick open the way to the highest floor.

Horizon: Forbidden West

Continue moving towards the light - this way you’ll reach the vicinity of the main arena.

you’re gonna wanna rappel down to reach it.

The arena is crawling with enemies.

Consider taking them out quietly, but certain enemies cannot be reached that way.

Unfortunately, you gotta dump the whole area to make it be able to continue the mission.

After getting rid of the enemies you gotta move the platform so it creates a path forward.

This is the only viable way.

The platform has blue elements on the sides, which you’ve got the option to activate.

Activate them so that a complete path forward is created.

Proceed to encounter another infected mechanism.

Eventually you will reach the main arena where the core is located.

Make an attempt to capture the core.

You won’t be successful, but don’t worry- this is as it supposed to be.

The next step is to scan the red mechanism.

It turns outthat the battery is missing.

You will reach a corridor with a platform.

After pushing out the platform (1), run to the other side.

Grab it and pull it under the climbing spot (2).

After climbing up, you will see another arena.

You must get to it by using the glowing rope that hangs over the chasm.

You will see containers that are already familiar to you.

Again, they need to be dragged with a hook.

They will unlock the path forward.

Once the containers are ready, take a look around the arena.

An opponent will appear suddenly, who will release one charged battery from a pile of metal parts.

Get rid of the enemy and pick up the battery.

You cannot jump, climb, or throw it.

Drop the battery, follow the path of containers near the wall and override the mechanism with your spear.

Continue forward and you will see another mechanism to override.

Put down the battery, override the mechanism, and continue carrying the battery.

Now leave the batery, and descend to the platform below.

You must drag the mechanical arm again, this time so it is closer to the battery.

During this action, you may be interrupted by opponents.

Eliminate them all so that no one interrupts your task.

This is almost the end of the task.

Just hop on the mechanical arm, grab the battery and continue your journey with it.

You’re almost at the end - pick up the battery and carry it to the core.

Place the battery in its slot.

Suddenly, a boss will jump down from the ceiling.

Its the Slitherfang, which you’ve had the opportunity to encounter during story missions.

you could find the walkthrough for the encounter ona dedicated page of the guide.

Ultimately, you only need to override the core to complete this location.

As a reward, you will receive 12500 XP and 3 skill points.
