Completing this side quest will unlock the powerful Shield Weaver armor, which renders Aloy nearly invincible for a time while wearing it. The quest will appear in your menu once any of the five have been collected. The are presented below in the chronological order they can be obtained in during the main quest line.The First Two The first two can be found in the The Escape - one is where Aloy explored as a child, and the other is.The Armory location is north-west of the Nora. Look for a collapsed radio antennae and climb the rock face next to it, then drop down into the water in the cavern behind the tower.These two can be used to unlock the door into the ancient laboratory where the armor is housed - complete the circuit and unlock the door by solving the locking puzzle: the numbers are hours in the day, corresponding to each wheel.

Horizon Zero Dawn 2 is confirmed to be in development by Star Wars actress Janina Gavankar. She will be appearing in Zero Dawn 2. Even so, the notion that Horizon: Zero Dawn 2 could come in 2021 as a PS5 exclusive is one of the more believable claims made in the post.
This will allow Aloy to collect the armor - open the Outfit Box in your inventory to unlock and equip the Shield Weaver outfit.This armor can’t fit any modifications, but more than makes up for it by letting Aloy soak up a HUGE amount of damage before taking any of her own. Keep an eye out for the armor flashing red and making a high-pitch ringing sound, which indicates that your defensive shield is almost out of power.This armor proves invaluable going into the endgame, so be sure you’ve collected them all before reaching the final few missions.

With the inbound, it feels like if developer Guerrilla Games was to start talking sequels, now is a better time than any. However, the leaks suggest that a port is the next thing on Guerrilla's list.Either way though, a Horizon Zero Dawn 2 in some form feels inevitable. When landed in 2017, everyone was immediately taken with it's expansive open world and the red-haired protagonist.
Aloy's story is far from over, and with so much scope for more exploration, another adventure is surely on the horizon. While news is scarce and the developer has yet to speak about the existence of the sequel, we've gathered together every piece of information we can find, as we as putting forward our theories for what might happening in Horizon Zero Dawn 2. So without further ado, here's everything we know so far. Horizon Zero Dawn 2 release date is anyone’s guessInspecting our temporary additional Studio Space. It’s a canal mansion built in 1741, adjacent to @Guerrilla studio. This will be part of our home until our few Facility is ready late next year pic.twitter.com/yDC6a6nKoNIn 2018 Guerrilla Games moved into temporary studio space before transitioning into brand new offices. Scaling up to a in early 2019, its new location has 7,300 square meters of space so it’s safe to say the studio is ramping up.
Whatever its plans are for Horizon Zero Dawn 2, with that much space it’s certainly expanding which can only mean thing a better, bigger Horizon Zero Dawn is in the works! This move hints that on the way could be a denser world saturated with things to collect and backstories to uncover, deeper AI ecosystems between robots and wildlife, as well as - obviously - more sidequests for Aloy.Considering the end of Horizon Zero Dawn depicted Sylens approaching a downed Horus robot (that can create Destroyer robots), one of these reanimated skyscraper-sized machines could even make an appearance in Horizon Zero Dawn 2. The amount of work you’d need to put in to make a Horus a feature of the world could be astronomical, especially Aloy was able to get near and explore its interior like it was a whole new region. Whatever Guerrilla is doing with its new space, I definitely can’t wait to see the results (in case you couldn’t tell).
Horizon Zero Dawn 2 could already be in the works © Provided by GamesRadar(Image credit: Guerrilla Games)Back in November, for a technical vegetation artist at Guerrilla Games. The posting itself outright mentions Horizon, indicating that the studio may well have already started work on a sequel, and are to working to add some dressing to the game's world.
Within Guerrilla, we have four teams dedicated to creating the stunning environments of Horizon,' the listing states. 'One team focuses on the creation of lush and stunning vegetation. We build these 3D models from scratch, so our world dressing teams can deliver our immersive world with industry-benchmark graphics.' Horizon Zero Dawn 2 PS4 exclusivity is almost certain © Provided by GamesRadarHorizon Zero DawnCome on, what did you expect? There’s pretty much zero chance that Sony would let Guerrilla Games put the game on Microsoft’s Xbox One - or even whatever turns out to be.
Worldwide as of February 2018, so it’s been moderately successful (sarcasm). With such a sparkling gem in Sony’s crown, don’t get your hopes up for Horizon Zero Dawn 2 being released on anything but PS4, PS4 Pro, or the when it eventually comes out. Horizon Zero Dawn 2 trailer remains elusive for now © Provided by GamesRadarHorizon Zero DawnNot even Aloy’s Focus could sniff out the Horizon Zero Dawn 2 trailer as it currently hasn’t been shown to the public in any capacity. There’s nothing anywhere about it.
Not even a leaked screenshot. But don’t worry - it’s coming. In an, Angie Smets (Guerrilla Games’ Executive Producer) said that she “can’t really talk about what’s next, but we obviously didn’t invest seven years into creating this big, rich world and all of the technology for nothing”. Rest assured, that definitely means they’ve got Horizon Zero Dawn 2 waiting in the wings. We’ll just have to try and be patient and wait for the trailer to come to us when it’s good and ready. Horizon Zero Dawn 2 news © Provided by GamesRadarHorizon Zero DawnHorizon Zero Dawn must be in early stages of development, but so far there’s very little news about what will feature in the sequel to Guerrilla Games’ phenomenal Horizon Zero Dawn or any official news about the next game to emerge, blinking in the sunlight, from Guerrilla Games. But hey, you know what I have instead for you?
S P E C U L A T I O N. Until we get any solid information, that’s going to have to do for now. Horizon Zero Dawn 2 characters - will Aloy return? © Provided by GamesRadarHorizon Zero DawnAlthough we kinda feel like her story has been told, the end of Horizon Zero Dawn with Sylens and HADES implies there’s more for her to discover and do., Hermen Hulst - Managing Director and co-founder of Guerrilla Games - says:“She’s really uncovered some of the main mysteries in the world, but how do you feel when you finish the story? Are there questions that come up that you want to relive and answer for Aloy? It was not difficult for us to build the Frozen Wilds and tell that story through Aloy.
The environments and the world that we’ve put together easily raise more questions.”It’s a cryptic way of telling us that we’re not done with Aloy yet. After all, you can’t throw away such a significant part of the original’s appeal.
Continuing, Hulst describes Frozen Wilds as a side-story for Aloy, saying that “we obviously couldn’t tell the next chapter of the personal journey of Aloy.” Why not? If there are plans to tell more of Aloy’s story, you’d probably need a full sequel to do so because there isn’t enough scope in the DLC.As Aloy was one of the core pillars of Horizon Zero Dawn, I think it's safe to assume that she'll definitely making a return. Perhaps she'll be a mother herself this time around, as the theme of motherhood and destiny was a strong one throughout the entirety of the first game. Another possibility is that Aloy turns her attentions to hunting down Sylens after he helps HADES to reanimate the wrecked Horus they find in the post-credits sequence (come on, why else would he look at it an onimously say 'we've still so much to discuss'?).
Which leads me nicely onto. Horizon Zero Dawn 2 gameplay and story - what is likely to happen? © Provided by GamesRadarHorizon Zero Dawn.
© Provided by GamesRadarGiven that gameplay is intrinsically linked to story in the original, the two will evolve hand-in-hand for Horizon Zero Dawn 2. We know from the ending of the first game that Sylens has saved HADES for himself, so that instantly provides us with a new bad guy. Sylens and Aloy have a strange kind of frenemy relationship, with Sylens periodically helping out Aloy but being transparent about his reasons for keeping her safe (namely, her link to the Old World and his insatiable thirst for knowledge). Although it would be easy to paint him as a pure villain, the fact that he's been known to help Aloy - and might even reluctantly admire her tenacity - could pave the way for a much more nuanced relationship between the hero and villain in Horizon Zero Dawn 2.
Remember that the rogue AI HADES isn't dead, too. If you bear in mind HADES' core programming to kill all life, the fact that it's not destroyed almost guarantees it'll return in Horizon Zero Dawn 2 as it attempts to - yup, you guessed it - kill humanity all over again. Interestingly, when speaking to GR, Hulst commented on his interest in the subject of AI:“What you’re picking up on is the personification of AI systems, of giving them a face and a character and a behaviour,” he says.
“These are huge themes in our world too: the autonomy of warfare, the potential threat of AI going wrong. I think it’s really nice to show and not tell in games, and have the player react to them - and fight them - that makes it much more interesting to me.” While that’s very much a thing in Horizon, and the main thrust of The Frozen Wilds, it sounds like AI could well be a continuing theme of Horizon Zero Dawn 2.And here’s another interesting titbit from the interview, which could give clues about where combat will go in the sequel. According to Hulst, the lead designer at Guerrilla loves Monster Hunter, and has been playing the heck out of Monster Hunter World (haven’t we all?). While it wouldn’t be a radical departure from the original, we could see many of Monster Hunter World’s innovations appearing in a new Horizon game. “Our lead designer has been a massive Monster Hunter fan from way before,” says Hulst. “He loves that game and a lot of the combat with the machines comes from that series.” Will we see hunting jobs? Massive creatures stalking you post-game?
Actually, demand for co-op in Horizon has been pretty low. According to Hulst: “I think some people are very happy when there’s a beautiful single-player campaign and a story. That’s been the overwhelming majority.” Horizon Zero Dawn 2 - what about the creatures?
© Provided by GamesRadarHorizon Zero DawnLooks like there will be plenty more creatures in the Horizon Zero Dawn 2., Art Director Jan-Bart van Beek says that the sequel should have “more machines. They are a lot of fun to design, build, animate, and play with. I wish we could have done a hundred. But reality is a harsh mistress; it doesn’t allow you to make hundreds of machines.” This goes without saying, as does the idea that there will be more powerful enemies too - yes, even more so than the Fireclaw. It’s also possible that we’ll see the creatures interacting more, and feeling like a more natural part of the world.This idea of an ecosystem was something the creators chose to show less of in the original, but could be a thing for the sequel. Speaking about the original game to GR, Hulst says: “It’s important that the world make sense and the machines have their own roles.
