"This looks like Oseram gear. What were they doing here?"
―Aloy

Tallneck: The Stillsands is a Tallneck activity in Horizon Forbidden West.

Synopsis[]

Aloy notices the Tallneck in the Stillsands is damaged, and around it is an Oseram camp. Upon examining the camp, she realizes the Oseram were attempting to bring down the Tallneck for parts, and were killed by machines that caught them in the act.

Aloy realizes she has to bring down the Tallneck herself in order to assess and repair the damage. Using the camp's ballistas, she fires anchors into the Tallneck's exposed parts, although each successful hit brings more machines to the Tallneck's defense. After three anchors in its chassis, the Tallneck finally falls, allowing Aloy to reach its head.

Thankfully, an override is enough to trigger a system reboot and repair the damage.

  • Go to the Tallneck

  • It is possible to bypass the ballista challenge by gliding down onto the Tallneck's head, either from the nearby mountain or from the back of a Sunwing.
