Once it's downloaded and installed, simply load up your game and continue where you left off. Thankfully, it's a pretty simple process to start the Frozen Wilds DLC.
How to start the Horizon Frozen Wilds DLC and what is the Frozen Wilds level requirement You're already in the right place then for everything on the Frozen Wilds DLC, but for more guides on Horizon in general, it's worth giving our main Horizon Zero Dawn guide and walkthrough a proper look over.
This page will act as a hub for our central Horizo Zero Dawn Frozen Wilds guide, where we'll also add a full contents list for our Frozen Wilds walkthrough, and explain everything you need to know about Frozen Wilds' new features, skills, and more. Great.Horizon Zero Dawn's Frozen Wilds is the first Horizon DLC, bringing with it a wealth of new content for the much-loved dino-robo-futurist adventure. Override the Cauldron Door - Just like you would in the other of Horizon's Cauldrons, jam your spear in the door and see what happens (what happens is it boots you out and summons up an empowered, Daemonic Thunderjaw to defend it. Kill Machines around the Cauldron Door - This is less challenging than it's made out - for now - and just involves killing a few Watchers and Scorchers. Reach the Cauldron Door - Turn right past the hologram and out the door, prepare for battle, and take the zipwire down to the volcanic, Keep following that, scanning a Datapoint, descending some steps back indoors (at the bottom check beneath the staircase for another supply crate), and then keep following doors, corridors and staircases until you reach a kind of command-centre meeting-room.Īctivate the Console - Interact with the green pad and watch the hologram. Press on, kill the Daemonic Longleg at the end of the area, and climb up the yellow-marked crates indicated by the waypoint. Remember to use Tearblast arrows on them first to remove their added functionality, then they'll go down much easier to a few melee blows. You can dart from bush to bush here or, if you're impatient (and a little clumsy) like us, just kill them all like you would have with Aratak's plan anyway. Take the zig-zagging steps to your right and you'll come out on a raised level riddled with Stalkers.
We chose the latter so will guide you through that specifically, but either is fine. Reach the Cauldron Door through the Tower - Here, you have a choice - go direct for the door ahead with Aratak's plan, meaning some heavy, challenging combat, or take the stealthy route around with Ourea's plan. Pick the rest of them off how you like - fortunately Ourea and Aratak can handle themselves against the minor ones - then climb the ladder at the back of this room, follow the waypoint (emptying the odd supply crate on the way) and continue until you reach an exterior area filled with machines and snowy ground. There'll be a Watcher right beneath you - drop down for a stealth kill on it and avoid alerting the rest of the machines. Hop up, follow the yellow markers and climb into the next room. Head to the far end of the first room, scanning Datapoints as you go, and on the back of a crane mechanism you'll find a short ladder. You've a long way to go to get there, mind. Turns out, this is a massive ancient facility, containing a new Cauldron at it's heart. Reach the Cauldron Door - After a bit of huffing and puffing, you gain entry to the mountain. Have a quick chat with him then head to Ourea, who gets you started on the mission proper. Talk to Aratak and Ourea - Aratak's optional. Go to Longnotch - Simple enough, follow the waypoint until you reach the small settlement. Frozen Wilds - Firebreak, how to reach the Cauldron Door and defeat the Thunderjaw If you're after help for other parts of the expansion, check out all of the guides gathered together in our Horizon Zero Dawn Frozen Wilds guide and walkthrough hub, or for guides to the main game itself, our main Horizon Zero Dawn guide and walkthrough. Prepare well, and set aside a decent amount of time to dive into this mission and ideally the next, in one sitting. Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds' Firebreak quest follows on from For the Werak, and has you climb the volcanic mountain Thunder's Drum.Īs you're nearing the climax of The Frozen Wilds' story, things are of course going to start hotting up.
