Guide : Horizon Zero Dawn

Horizon Zero Dawn throws a lot at you in its first couple hours, from the myriad paths in the skills tree, the deep crafting system, and the vastness of the open world. It can be daunting trying to develop some sense of focus and make the most of the the abilities and resources available to you. Our beginner's guide will help you help make the most of all these options and opportunities in the initial hours of your playthrough.
On this guide page, we’ll go over the flow of Horizon Zero Dawn’s critical path of main story quests, discuss the points of no return, get a bit spoiler-y talking about what you need to do before the game’s ending for best results, tell you where to kick off each side quest and errand we’ve found so far, go over weapon tutorial quests, and list the open world content you’ll find as you explore.

Obviously, this will include some Horizon Zero Dawn spoilers in terms of quest names, but we’ll be careful not to mention any story details as we go.
