How to find the Armory in Horizon Forbidden West Burning Shores
The first thing you need to do after approaching the volcano doors and finding out they are locked is find the armory. We have marked its location on the map below:
To find the Armory, stand outside the theme park hologram card just outside the volcano gates and facing the volcano itself.
SO, Turn right and keep follow the path here (but also keep an eye to your right). You should see an opening in the metal structure that leads to an area filled with dinosaur holograms. There will be some Quen devotees here, you can sneak past them or eliminate them.
Once you’re near the dinosaur holograms, look up and around. You should see a large building with a hologram that says “Armory” above. This is where you need to go.
Go through the already open doors of the building and look to your right. There will be a locked door that can only be opened by a key, which is currently held by Fedder.
How to Find Fedder’s Key in Horizon Forbidden West Burning Shores
For get Fedder’s key to open the doors of the armory in Horizon Forbidden West Burning Shores you must find Fedder in the attraction called “Raptor Raid”. We’ve marked its location on the map below because the quest marker disappears when you enter the area:
The quest marker will take you to the difficult area of this attraction. So, exit the armory and follow the marker until you reach the section of the park where Raptor Raid is.
When you get to this area, keep walking around until you see a large domed building with a hologram that says “Raptor Raid” on it. Enter this building and follow the path to your left.
Watch the ensuing cutscene once inside. When it ends, be ready for a fight. Devotee Quen will focus on you, and Fedder is there too. All you have to do is kill Quen’s guards and kill Fedder to get their key.
Once Fedder is down, loot their bodies to recover the key. Then, return to the Armory. Use the key on the console next to the locked door and the door will open, which is the first step to opening the volcano doors.
How to Open the Volcano Gates in Horizon Forbidden West Burning Shores
When you’ve gone through the locked doors of the Armory, keep following the path to your left. Following this path, you will need to use your Focus to investigate several items of interest that uncover Londra’s true and devious intentions.
Scan all the items highlighted for you in the first room, and once you’ve done that, the doors to the second will unlock. Follow Seyka into the next room.
The door to this room is locked, but there is another way around. Face the locked door and look to your left. Behind the stack of crates, here is a grate that covers a vent in the wall.
Use your Pullcaster to remove the vent grill. Once it’s off, head inside the vent and follow the path into the next room.
Once in the next room, you will see a large medical chair. Behind this chair is a console. Walk to it and interact with it, Aloy will learn as she need to reset room power.
To do this, stand facing the console, then head into the room on your left. Your quest marker should also guide you to this area. In this room, look for the console with the energy cell. Pull the lever to the left of it.
Then you will learn that you need to find a new energy cell.
How to find the energy cell to open the volcano doors in Horizon Forbidden West Burning Shores
To find the energy cell, return to the room with the medical chair inside. Head left by opening the area that looks like this:
SO, look to your left again and you should see a small opening in the rock. Crouch and head over here.
Here, enter the first cell to your left. When you enter this room, there will be Fire glow on the wall to your left. turn it on and back off while it explodes. This will create an opening that you will need later.
Then go back to the hallway and head to the second cell. When you are in the small corridor of the second cell, look to your right. You should see a broken window that opens to a room behind a locked door.
Look back on yourself to look through the window (facing the direction you entered the room). Use your Focus to scan the room through the broken window and you should see a pull point on which you can use your Pullcaster.
Use your Pullcaster on this point by aiming it and shooting it to the point through the window. Then shoot it like you usually would to knock down the wall it’s attached to.
Now go back to the hallway then head left in the third and last cell. Cross the opening at the back of this cell and in the next room.
Once you are here, the Energy Cell will be on your right.
Replace energy cell
Pick it up and return to the first cell, the one that contained the Firegleam. Go through the opening here and head right, back into the room with the medical chair.
Then head to the back room here and replace the fried energy cell with the new energy cell. Once you’ve done that, return to the room with the medical chair and walk over to the chair to watch the recording.
If the save doesn’t start for you, like it didn’t for us, restart your game from the previous save file. This should only take you back to when you picked up the Energy Cell.
Watch the recording and interact with the console behind the chair. Follow the conversation that unfolds after this to find an unlikely helper. Once this conversation and cutscene is over, the doors to the volcano will open.
Now that the volcano doors are open, you can run there with Seyka to find out if the enemy you’re looking for is really inside. Good luck!
