HORIZON FORBIDDEN WEST CAULDRONS: LOCATIONS AND OVERRIDE CODES
0Horizon Forbidden West Cauldrons: locations and override codes
Horizon Forbidden West cauldrons are fun puzzles to master. but they come with an even better upside. One of the coolest aspects in the game is the ability to override machines. There’s little else out there like sneaking up to a mechanical mammoth. making it friendly. and then having it fight an enormous robo tyrannosaur. It’s a real spectacle to see on a PS5. However. in order to start taking over machines. you need to get the override code for each. How do you do that? Well. you need to go around and find the cauldrons littered around the world. These are the places where machines are created. and thus you can find the means to bend their wills to your own. To do this. you merely need to override the cauldron’s core. If that sounds easy. well… it rarely is. if ever. that straightforward. Each cauldron is different. with its own challenges to overcome. That said. it may not be immediately obvious where to go. or how to access all of them. That’s why we’ve put together a guide giving you an overview of each cauldron and what you need to do to get access to the core. Note: this guide avoids the specifics of what you need to do for each cauldron and merely shows you where to go. what to expect. and what you get for completing it. Cauldron TAU Level 15 The TAU cauldron will likely be the first you get access to because it's part of a mission earlier in the campaign. That mission is the level 15 main quest called The Dying Lands. which has Aloy. Varl. and Zo going into the cauldron to see what’s going wrong with once reliable machines. There’s nothing overly complicated about this cauldron. The way is well marked. only requiring you to learn how to open up and time climbing routes. as well as using floating platforms to maneuver. The mechanics you learn here will help you in future cauldrons though. so make sure you process what you're doing. Where is Cauldron Tau in Horizon Forbidden West? This one shouldn’t be hard to find. As it’s a main story quest. the game will direct you right to it. There’s no need to find it. You’ll be shown it when you reach the mission. That said. for reference. it is just west of the Plainsong Settlement What override codes do you get? PlowhornBristlebackGrimhorn Cauldron MU Level 18 Cauldron MU is one of the more straightforward in the game. This. not unlike TAU. is a fairly bog standard cauldron. You’ll have to fend off some machines along the way. but it’s nothing too tough if you are around level 18. There is some tricky business around jumping from big. swinging robot arms that can make for some awkward platforming. That said. it’s fairly straightforward and you should be able to just hop on through. Where is Cauldron MU in Horizon Forbidden West? MU isn’t too hard to find. but it’s also not near any big settlements. so you will have to travel a bit into the wilderness to get to it. It’s located to the southeast of the map. nestled in the mountains to the west of Stone’s Edge. What override codes do you get? BurrowerScroungerFanghorn Cauldron IOTA Level 22 IOTA’s gimmick is a fun one. You’ll notice that the entrance is flat on the ground and you can’t enter. In order to get in. look for a small crevice to the south of the platform. At the end of the rock formation. you'll find a way in. Once there. you’ll find that a Tallneck is being built but machinery has become jammed. Your job to complete this Cauldron is to try and rebuild the Tallneck. This. as ever. will involve killing some creatures and platforming in order to free the machinery assembling the towering robo giraffe. The bonus to finishing this cauldron is that it also opens up a Tallneck to override. If you were wondering where the last one was on your minimap. you found it. Where is Cauldron IOTA in Horizon Forbidden West? IOTA is the northernmost cauldron. Not a lot of main story missions take place in the area so it can be a little tough to locate. To get there. it's...
