When scaling large obstacles in video games, players often assume that they can find mighty loot at the top while enjoying a great view of the world they are moving around in. Clearly the former is of a higher importance, if it wasn’t then you wouldn’t have progressed at all since the main objective lies on top of it!
However, the Horizon Forbidden West Burning Shores quest and DLC present you with a dilemma of destroying the mysteriously found Zenith weapon. As you dance with Londra, be prepared to bob and weave following this guide!
Horizon Forbidden West | To The Burning Shores | How to Destroy the Zenith Weapon
Londra will taunt you rightfully through a recording as the weapon approaches shortly. After the cutscene, you need to scan the weapon within a few seconds to discover its weakness. All that there’s left to do is find a way to get close to it using the upper levels provided.
To get to the next level, go to the back of the building and destroy the Firegleam, there will be some columns jutting outwards in the next room that will lead you upstairs.
Seyka will become friendlier and more pleasant around this part as she needs your help, ignore her calls and use your Pullcaster to jump on to the ledge where the waypoint is. This will put you face to face with the weapon itself.
Let the weapon know that it has a design flaw by shooting at the exposed power core behind its armor. Seyka will keep the distraction going long enough for you to shoot at it a few more times until it gets busted open.
After you take out the first power core, two more will be available to shoot. The best vantage point would be the west side of the same floor to get a clear view of its rear. The last power core is on top of its head so just move around the building for you to get a few more shots in.
Hit it one more time and it will come plummeting down. That’s man vs. machine, with you on the winning side! If you’re still at the bottom of the tower and don’t want to miss out on anything, then this guide will be perfect for you while you’re making your way to the top.
Conclusion
Taking down the Zenith weapon in the Burning Shores DLC of Horizon Forbidden West requires quick thinking, strategic planning, and precise execution. By following the steps outlined in this guide, players can overcome the challenge of destroying this formidable machine and emerge victorious. Remember, it’s man vs. machine, but with this guide, you’ll have the upper hand to make sure the machine goes down in flames!
