Horizon Forbidden West is an enthralling game that promises adventure and excitement throughout its missions and quests. Apart from the main quests, there are also some interesting collectibles called Vista Points, which add a new layer of intrigue to the game. These holographic images offer a sight into the game’s past and allow players to earn trophies as they solve the puzzles associated with each point.
Finding the Vista Points requires some puzzle-solving skills, and to complete each point, you must first locate a Vista Point Tower and then uncover a clue that will help you find the exact location where you can view the holographic image. If you’re struggling to find the Vista Points, we’ve got you covered. This guide will provide you with all the information you need to find each tower and complete the Vista Points.
All Vista Point Puzzles
If you’re up for the challenge? There are nine Vista Points in total awaiting your discovery, but locating them is just the first step. Once you’ve found the Vista Point Towers, you need to scan each tower to reveal a pixelated image using your Focus, and then you can align the incomplete image to the game’s surroundings.
Vista Point: The Daunt
Get ready to tackle the first Vista Point on your journey. When you arrive at the tower, use your reliable Focus to scan it and reveal the pixelated image. To complete this puzzle, you’ll need to make your way to the nearby Crumbled Bridge. Once there, find your way to the edge and stand tall. With a bit of skill and a dash of luck, you’ll be able to align the image quickly and move on to the next Vista Point.
Vista Point: Plainsong
To reach the Plainsong Vista Point, you’ll need to head towards the West of the tower and move up to the rugged mountains. There you need to climb up a steep cliff. At the top, you’ll discover the ancient Sunwing site. Once you’ve reached the top, make your way to the edge of the landside and look towards the broken windmill as the image before you fall into place like pieces of a puzzle.
Vista Point: Scalding Spear
Upon scanning the tower, glide through the air toward the west, where you’ll uncover another Sunwing site. Upon arriving, you’ll need to cross a makeshift bridge constructed from an old fallen tree to reach the rusted platform. From there, it’s time to align the holographic image and complete the Vista Point.
Vista Point: The Stillsands
If you’re looking for the Tower that leads to the Stillsands Vista Point, you’ll find it perched on the Northern cliffs of Hidden Ember. To get started, scan the tower for clues. From there, head north from the tower and make your way up a small cliff. Once there, approach the edge of the broken railings and align the image to complete the Vista Point puzzle.
Vista Point: Dunehollow
The Vista Tower you’re searching for can be found in ruins below Dunehollow, nestled within the Hidden Ember. Your journey will take you through this area as part of The Sea of Sands’s Main Quest before you come here again.
To reach the tower, glide down through the elevator shaft, where you’ll discover it on an old broken bridge. Scan the tower for clues, and then head North, where you’ll come across a ladder. Climb the ladder, and from the edge of the structure, align the image to complete the puzzle.
Vista Point: The Memorial Grove
You’ll find this Vista Point Tower located North of Memorial Grove. Begin by scanning the tower for clues and gathering your bearings. Once you have a clear idea of where to go, cross the river to the east, and take your steps toward the mountain ahead. Keep an eye out for an old metal structure that marks your destination. Finally, Align the hologram with the metal structure on the cliff, and the Vista Point puzzle will be complete.
Vista Point: The Long Coast
Upon scanning the Vista Point Tower, you must proceed towards the western side and climb the rocky structure on a small island. Subsequently, upon reaching the top of the structure, direct your gaze toward the North and align the image with precision to complete the puzzle.
Vista Point: Shrouded Heights
The Shrouded Heights Vista Tower is located in the Isle of Spires and presents a unique challenge compared to other Vista Points. To complete this puzzle, it is necessary to dive underwater. Upon submerging, one can observe blue-glowing plants, which serve as a reference point. From this location, align the image with the building to quickly complete the puzzle.
Vista Point: Isle Of Spires
The Isle of Spires Vista Point is the final puzzle to be solved. In order to complete it, one must possess the Sunwing, one of the machines in the game acquired by finishing the late-game quest, Wings of the Ten, which allows the player to fly. Upon reaching the skeletal metal tower’s peak, keep caution while traversing the yellow beam. While facing the front, align the image accurately to successfully complete the puzzle.
