Throughout the Daunt in Horizon: Forbidden Tower are signal towers – old watchtowers of Carja – which overlook the whole area. Now, these old relics contain something more lucrative: signal lens.
Before you can start collecting these Signal Lenses, you need to start Sun Signals – one of the game’s many racing quests. After that, you need to find six Signal Towers.
This guide will show you where are these signal towers in the Daunt, which signal lenses are located at which towerand what is the reward for collecting all six Signal Lenses.

Signal Lens Locations:
How Signal Towers Work in Horizon Forbidden West
There are six signal towers located throughout Daunt in Horizon: Forbidden West. To reach each tower, you will have to climb the cliffs of the mountain and go around the towers to reach the top. Once you reach the top, you can loot the signal lens.
These Signal Lenses can be given to Raynah, an Oseram you encounter during the “Signals of the Sun” run. After your first encounter, you can find her in Barren Light near the tents near the entrance.
Signal Towers will only appear as a Signal Tower icon once you have discovered them. It will just be a white question mark on the map until then.
Signals of the Sun Errand Quest: Who to give Signal Lenses to in Horizon Forbidden West
When you go through the Daunt to collect these Lenses in Horizon: Forbidden West, there’s a run you’ll need to pick up in order to hand over the Signal Lenses.
Signals of the Sun, a level 5 race, is given by a Barren Light guard named Maleev. You’ll find him dragging a corpse along a path northwest of Barren Light. While talking to him, you will hear a scream coming from the top of the mountains.
When you reach the source of the scream, you’ll see a woman named Raynah trying to fight off the machines. After coming to her aid, talk to her and she will tell you about the old watchtowers of Carja and the signal lenses. She will ask you to collect the Lentils from the various Signal Towers located throughout Daunt and she will reward you for the Lentils.
This race will not be available until you complete the main quest, “Into the Brink”. You also don’t need to collect all six Lenses to complete the actual Solar Race Signals, but you won’t receive the full reward until you do.

Morning Location Signal Lens at Horizon Forbidden West
The Signal Tower for Morning Lens is located northeast of Chainscrape in Horizon: Forbidden West.
The path to this tower will be near the elevator you will take to descend into the Daunt. Follow the path north from the first campfire you see. Climb the wooden platform and the cliff. When you get to the base of the tower, keep climbing around it, using the yellow handles as a guide.
Arrived at the top of the Tower, take the Lentille du Matin.
Noon Location Signal Lens at Horizon Forbidden West
The Signal Tower for the Noon Lens is located east of Chainscrape in the mountains.
You will have to climb the cliff to get there. There is an area to the left of the tower at the base of the mountain which is a good starting point for the climb. Once you get to where the tower is, start making your way around the tower. Use the yellow handles to get to the top.
At the top of the tower, you can loot the Midday Lens.
Evening Location Signal Lens at Horizon Forbidden West
Located north of Barren Light, the Evening Lens Signal Tower is the Errand in Horizon: Forbidden West “Sun Signals” Tower.
After talking to Raynah, go to the Tower. To enter the tower you will need to use your Pullcaster on the blue metal clamp. Open the wall and enter. From here you can start your ascent of the tower. When you get to the top you will find the Evening Lens.
This is the only objective you need to complete the “Signals from the Sun” race.
Dawn Signal Lens Location at Horizon Forbidden West
The Signal Tower for the Dawn Lens is located at the northeast end of the Daunt, in the mountains across from the Crimson Narrows Quarry, which you’ll see if you complete the “Deep Trouble” side quest in Horizon : Forbidden West.
Starting from a wooden platform, go up the cliff, then continue up the tower. At the top of the tower, you can pick up the Dawn Lens.
Afternoon Location Signal Lens at Horizon Forbidden West
To reach the Signal Tower containing the Afternoon Lens, you will need to have completed the main quest “Into the Brink” and received the side quest “The Twilight Path” from Petra in Chainscrape. By receiving this side quest, you will gain access to this signal tower located south of Chainscrape. This also means that you will have to actively complete the side quest in Horizon: Forbidden West.
During “The Twilight Path”, you will come across a Twilight Carja refugee camp. Their leader Savohar ascended the mountain to meditate in the presence of a downed Stormbird. You will need to find Savohar and towers, and once you do, you can climb the signal tower. At the top of the tower, dig through the rubble to find the Afternoon Lens.
Twilight Signal Lens Location at Horizon Forbidden West
The signal tower for the Twilight Lens is located in the far eastern mountain of Barren Light in Horizon: Forbidden West. There is a path that leads up to the tower. Once you’re there, start climbing around the tower. At the top, you can loot the Twilight Lens.
How to Claim Signal Lenses Reward in Horizon Forbidden West
Now that you’ve collected all the Lenses from Horizon: Forbidden West, return to Raynah in Barren Light. She will be among the tents near the entrance. Talk to him and give him the lenses. She will thank you for your help in collecting them and give you a reward.
You will receive 90 Metal Fragments, Dune Shadow Dye, and a random reward combination of Greenshine and Bronze Ingots.
Good luck finding all the Signal Lenses!
