How to disrupt the tower weapon in Horizon Forbidden West Burning Shores
Once you reach the top of the tower with Seyka, you’ll encounter the weapon that launched you from the sky at the start of this quest.
To stop the weapon, you will have to lower it to be able to attack it. To do this, face the weapon itself from where you climbed up there with Seyka and scan it with your Focus. You should then see a large purple pipe extending from the weaponn himself in the tower to your right.
follow this pipe until it starts to rise, you should see this:
You should see climbing holds coming up the wall, leading to a slightly elevated area. Go up here and you will see a node.
Climb up to the knot himself and interact with him to replace him. This will lower the weapon itself, but it will start shooting at you.
Be careful not to get hit by the weapon, it can easily cause you to lose most of your health in one hit. When the gun starts firing at you, drop back down to the lowered area where Seyka is and use your Focus to scan her again.
How to Destroy the First Tower Weapon Power Core in Horizon Forbidden West Burning Shores
The next thing you need to do is smash the Power Core on the back of the machine, but you can’t reach it from where you are with Seyka. Instead, you need to find a way to climb higher to get a clear picture of the Core.
To do this, face the machine from where you first climbed to the top with Seyka. SO, look to your left. You should see an opening leading to more ruins. Head here and then follow the path through this area until you can go no further. At the end of this path, look right again and you should see unstable glows of fire.
Ignite the unstable fireglow However, you see good and head for the new opening once it explodes.
Continue through the new area towards the two bars sticking out of the edge of the building that should be directly in front of you. Exit on this one, then jump carefully to the bar that protrudes the most from the tower.
Then move the camera to look into the tower again and you should see more climbing holds leading up outside of it. Scan the pulse with your Focus if you’re having trouble finding them. Follow the climbing path until you can go no further.
When you reach the point where you can no longer climb, move the camera up and to the right until you find another grapple point. Jump and grab yourself to pull yourself up to the next area.
Once you get here you will be able to see the Power Core on the back of the weapon. He will notice you when you first climb up there, but you can take cover from his attack behind the wall to your left.
Seyka will distract him again and you’ll then have a clear shot at the Power Core:
Keep shooting the core until it is destroyed. The weapon will then begin to act erratically and fire all around it.
From this point, you can attack the two remaining Power Cores in any order that you want. This guide is based on the order we did them in, but as long as you destroy the last two hearts, you will complete the quest.
How to Destroy the Second Tower Weapon Power Core in Horizon Forbidden West Burning Shores
THE next Power Core for the east tower weapon at the front of the weapon. It is lower than the previous one and can easily be pulled from below. The weapon will fire more frequently than before, but you can still anticipate its attacks. However, you still have to wait for Seyka to distract him before making your move.
You can shoot this one any way you want, but we found it easier to stand under the weapon and shoot straight up at the core itself to destroy it. We recommend using the Tearblast arrows to speed up the process.
After destroying this core, there is only one left and you must return to the area where you fired the first core from.
How to Destroy the Third Tower Weapon Power Core in Horizon Forbidden West Burning Shores
When you return to the area you fired the first Core from, scan the weapon again with your Focus to locate the final Power Core.
THE the last Power Core is at the very top of the weapon and it’s a little trickier move. We recommend using a Tearblast arrow from a Sharpshot bow to destroy this one.
We found it easier to wander to the far edges of this platforming area to get an angled view of the core. We also recommend entering Focus Mode while aiming the Power Core to get an accurate shot at it.
Once you destroy this Power Core, the weapon will be destroyed and crash where Seyka is. Head there to complete the quest, but don’t forget to collect the weapon because it has a useful coil attached to it.
Once this weapon is off, you will have completed the first Burning Shores DLC quest for Horizon Forbidden West, and you are on your way to finding Londra.
