Horizon Forbidden West Tallnecks & Cauldrons Location Guide: How To Find & Solve Them All

Horizon Forbidden West is out now and is quite an adventure if you’re into open-world RPGs and robot dinosaur killing-slash-overriding.

You’ll be doing quite a bit of the latter, and you need to power up Aloy’s tech stick to jack into robot beasts and tame them even for a brief moment. You do this by sticking your stick into cores located in Cauldrons. You’ll also need to get the lay of the West you’ll be exploring, meaning you’ll need to scale onto giant robot beasts called Tallnecks and scan the region you’re in.

We have guides for both the Tallnecks and the Cauldrons. Here they are:
