I flew to the lake shrine on my Sunwing to help Zo reboot one of three ailing Plowhorns. I dove underwater to find a Plowhorn named So, cleared away debris while dodging a nearby hostile machine, and installed the code. After resurfacing, I shot the enemy machine to distract it and flew away.

I picked up a quest with Zo to help heal the Utaru's ailing Plowhorn machines by installing reboot codes on three of them. I decided to head toward the Plowhorn located at the lake shrine first since it was the closest one to my current position on the map.

While flying over on my Sunwing, a wild bird suddenly zipped right above me in mid-air, which was the first time I ever saw that happen while flying around.

Once I reached the lake area, I looked down from the sky and saw several large machines patrolling the water below. Aloy mentioned that the Plowhorn had to be nearby and that it was time to go for a swim.

I jumped right off the back of my Sunwing, aiming for the water, but I noticed hostile machines swimming near my landing spot. I quickly shifted my course in the air and landed on the dry shore instead to avoid dropping straight into a fight.

I made my way to the shrine area and dove deep underwater to search for the Plowhorn named So. I spotted the machine resting near the bottom, but there was a dangerous hostile machine swimming back and forth right above it.

I wasn't sure how to handle it at first, but clearing out the path was the only way to finish the job. I swam past the guard, reached the stuck Plowhorn, and used my tool to pry away heavy debris jammed around its frame.

Once it was free, I installed the reboot code directly into its core. The machine powered back up, but it stayed completely still at the bottom of the lake instead of moving around that I thought it'd do.

The nearby hostile machine kept circling close by, but luckily it never spotted me in the dark water. I swam back up to the surface and climbed onto the shore, looking down into the clear lake where both the hostile machine and the rebooted Plowhorn were still sitting underwater.

Aloy mentioned that it was time to go check on the other two Plowhorns on our list. Before leaving the area, I decided to mess with the hostile machine a little bit. I pulled out my bow and shot an arrow right at it from the bank.

The machine turned around instantly and started charging toward the shore to attack me, which was exactly what I wanted. Rather than sticking around for a long fight, I called my Sunwing, mounted up, and took off into the air just as the machine tried to blast me with a ranged attack.


The next post will be coming soon. Screenshots are my take from the game and I took the game logo that I used on the thumbnail picture from online.

SEE YOU.
