Right after going inside, you will find yourself in the first part of the cauldron.

Your task is to climb up and run through tunnels made of infected cables.

You will climb to the top by grabbing the glowing elements.

PlayStation

After climbing up, run into the tunnel of cables.

At the very end of it, there will be one sparkling cable.

Be extremely cautious here.

PlayStation

Your task will be to jump to the next two cables.

It’s not difficult, all you need is the right timing.

Let go of the cable once another cable is under Aloy.

PlayStation

While moving forward, you will see another red item that you must override.

This will create a bridge that will take you to the next part of the location.

There is no other way to get to the other side.

PlayStation

When you come out of the next tunnel, turn right.

The next part of the cauldron is ahead of you.

There’s not much to do for you.

Horizon: Forbidden West

Jump over to the item on the ledge.

That way, Aloy will pull herself up and jump onto the platform.

The colors are so loud that you won’t miss them for sure.

There will be another red item to override.

To get to this element, you could use machines moving in the air or use the Shieldwing.

You will get to the next part of the cauldron.

This section is much bigger.

For the most part though, the journey will be straightforward and obvious.

Your job is just to move around using the side edges and climbing the glowing points.

At some point, however, you will reach mechanical arms.

Don’t rush here.

attempt to move slowly, only when another part of the machine appears in front of Aloy.

Otherwise, you might fall down straight into the abyss.

Again, you will have to override another red item to get to the next part.

After going through the door, immediately look for another red item.

Overriding it will create a bridge that you should probably get through.

Time for another climbing sequence.

It should not pose any problem.

Just time it properly so that it doesn’t turn out that you have nothing to grab hold of.

You have to reach the next part by hooking yourself to the machine.

You will not be able to jump to it nor fly to it using the Shieldwing.

You’ll stumble upon mechanical arms again, which you will have to use to proceed.

As previously, take your time.

Be mindful of your movements and keep an eye on Aloy’s positioning.

you should probably position yourself as in the screenshot above so that you stick to a single element.

To get to the next part, you must use flying machines again.

You’re almost done now.

Here’s the last door to be opened with a spear.

You will end up in a large room, which will be quiet at first.

This will summon enemies.

At first, Widemaw will appear in the room by itself.

After a while, however, it will be joined by a companion of the same species.

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

As a reward,you will receive 8000 XP and 3 skill points.

You don’t have to be afraid of the exit route.

Overriding the core will make this element go up and bring you closer to the exit.
