How to get Shield-Weaver Early - Horizon Zero Dawn

HOW TO GET OUT OF MAKER´S END WITHOUT FAST TRAVEL: https://youtu.be/Ez5a0GUzCHo A lot of people seem to have an issue not being able to fast travel out of the tower, so hopefully this will help you.

I was studying for my exam but this seemed more interesting

Im just happy that people are still giving love and playing this game. Awesome tutorial! 👌

You forgot to mention one tiny thing about the one at Gaia Prime, THE GIANT STORMBIRD!

Make sure to change into outcast outfit in order to slip into grave hoard hole and ascend in GAIA prime without ladder, somehow this outfit will make a better chance to success. Also this video should include how to revisit all mother mountain in case you missed the power cell on the first chance after the proving (the main gate is closed after the event). Also need to remind everyone that journey into grave hoard and GAIA prime would be the most dangerous area as we are early accessing area with lot of machines crawled in groups and remember that we are currently at early level (health and weapons), so be sure to prepare some healing potions handy and quick save the game whenever pass by a campfire. Thanks so much for this video guide.

It's my first time playing the game. I just want to say thank you. I finally got the armor. One thing that I have never expected to be tedious is the process of getting to these locations. I nearly got heart attack sneaking and running from those huge machines.

it´s nice to see, that story events won`t happen out of timeline when you enter these areas that you should normally not be able to enter, shows that the programmers did a great job setting it all up.

for those who want to try it but scared it wouldn't work in 2024 dont worry, i just try it and still works perfectly. good luck u guys

This and the video on the locations of the unique mod coils/weaves are the two most useful guides I’ve seen on this game. Nice and clear views of the locations where you have to go and very specific detailed instructions on what to do and how to do it, all in a video less than a half hour long. Thank you sir!!! Well done.

Also one last thing, don't forget to mention that when you are in Carja territory, not to interact with anything... It can brick your playthrough. So when in Carja territory, ONLY focus on getting power cells and then LEAVE territory once power cells are in hand. This is for those who used the exploit to climb around invisible wall to cross the border.

Still works on PS5! One thing you didn't mention (maybe I missed) is how fucking scary it is getting to these places! I went from obliterating watchers in the embrace to shitting it trying to dodge past all those crazy monsters I'm not yet prepared for. After 7 hours im level 9 and now just "beginning" my journey with my Shield-weaver armour! Horizon is one of the few games I haven't played and after seeing how great Forbidden West looks I had to try this game out! Thanks for the guide much appreciated !

Excellent guide, thank you. Normally these days when I replay HZD I do a NG+, so this isn't an issue, but now and then I actually do feel like starting completely over, and this works 100%! I also have to say this was among the easiest to follow and understand in terms of clarity and direction compared to most exploit/glitch guides I've ever seen, so again... very well done! ^_^

It’s June 2024 and if it wasn’t for this guy’s impeccable instruction in this tutorial I probably would have taken the long route for this shield. THANK YOU MY DUDE!

I wished aloy kept the helmet of the suit and had her hair sticking out like cyrax from mk

At 6:57 the trick is when walking for that hole those 2 rocks he mentioned that pushes you side to side is what is needed because the animation needed to fall through the hole is a falling animation. The trick is to walk and go over the left bumpy rock to trigger a teeny falling animation and to stop directly over the hole so Aloy can fall through the hole

This was a really interesting process. I was hesitant to try it first, but I ended up doing it just for fun and it was challenging (trying to not get killed especially by those flying monsters) but otherwise it was fun lol had to find every campfire on the way so I can save. My only issue was that I started this after leaving the mother's watch area (and the place got locked) so I had to look for another guide to find my way back in then I finished everything else by the help of this video. Amazing guide btw! Thank you.

Love this game, now being able to get this armor earlier than planned will be even more fun. Thanks man.

I can confirm that this still works as of May 9 2021, took me all of 1.5 hours to accomplish. and when sneaking into the Carja territory you can use campfires to save your progress if needed, I did it to get the Gaia Prime and it didn't mess up anything in my regular playthrough. Thank you @Elkajaer TV for the video it was informative.

Still works 2022. It was exhilarating. Gg to those who got it. Getting the 4th was hardest tho. Just a headsup to those who are planning on getting it, I dont know how other guys did it.. but for me there was a cut scene where storm bird appeared. Tried to fight it but nope, it one shotted me . U cant do "restart last save" cuz it apparantly autosaves at that cut scene. So if u see it, RUN LIKE HELL, run in zig zags, dodge constantly and run towards the ruins. It goes away at a point. Edit: Just completed the whole game.I played it in hard and lemme tell u this, NEVER died in a combat for the rest of the game thanks to the armor.

So cool!! Just snagged my last cell from Gaia Prime today! Amazing guide… the time it must have taken you to figure all this out! Thank you!
