- "A Tenakth settlement. Almost looks like a spear stuck in the sand."
- ―Aloy, approaching Scalding Spear
Scalding Spear is a Desert Tenakth settlement located at the southern edge of the tribe's territory, the Clan Lands, in Horizon Forbidden West. The settlement is the capital of the Desert Tenakth, and one of the clan's larger settlements.
Description[]
The settlement's namesake is constructed atop an Old World solar power tower. It is encircled by a field of hundreds of long-defunct solar panels, which the Tenakth compare to gravestones.
Scalding Spear hosts the Desert Clan's only source of drinkable water: a well dubbed the Wound in the Sand. Smaller villages throughout the area trade food and supplies in exchange for their water supply.
As a clan capital, Scalding Spear hosts a Melee Pit for training. Among the capital's occupants are the clan commander and a variety of specialty merchants, including an inker and dyer.
