How to Get the Oseram Artificer Outfit in Horizon Forbidden West
To get the Oseram Artificer Outfit in Horizon: Forbidden West, you need to complete every salvage contract – starting with Keruf’s Salvage Unlimited.
These quests become available once you complete the main embassy quest, and Keruf can return to his main camp. You will then need to complete a series of Salvage Contracts for Larend, Runda, Handa, and Danur which can each be found in a different location across the Forbidden West.
Once the Salvage Contracts are complete, you can return to the Salvage Camp near Barren Light.
When you arrive, Keruf will judge the armor forged by Larend, Runda, Handa, and Danur. Instead of declaring a winner, Keruf will say the armors didn’t meet his requirements and sell them instead.
Aloy suggests that he combine all the good pieces of each armor to create a new one. Keruf accepts and together the Collectors create the Oseram Artificer. They then give it to Aloy to try.
Aloy is back in Horizon: Forbidden West! To help you get started on his new quest, visit our pages on how leveling and skill points work, and how to level up your inventory pouches. We also looked at how to climb the Tallneck in Cinnabar Sands, cauldron locations, and the door code for the Death’s Door mission.
