To reach the tower (circled in red), Aloy musttravel to the Isle of Spireson the westernmost side of the mapafter unlocking the ability to flytowards the end of the main quest. The tower itself is located atthe south end of the Isle, beside the dilapidated ruins of Sutro Tower. These lie to thewest of ‘Tallneck: Landfall,‘north of the ‘Boat to the Mainland’ andsouthwest of ‘Legacy’s Landfall’and ‘The Digsite’ that Aloy visits during the quest ‘Faro’s Tomb.’
To find the tower, players should look for the rusty, ivy-covered antenna which sitsat the eastern face of Sutro Tower, atop some Sunwing-infested ruins.Using Aloy’s handy Focuswill show a purple pulsating beacon that will help track the signal for some guidance.
How to Complete the Vista Point Tower
When players arrive at the tower,use Aloy’s Focus to scan the beacon, revealing a blurry image on the Focus when in proximity. This will activate the quest and give players a yellow search area on the map.
Aloy will comment that this particular photo was taken from very high up. To find where the picture was taken,call a Sunwing using the d-pad- or override one of the two roosting nearby- andfly to the peak of Sutro Tower.
At the top,land on the corrugated metal perchwhich sits on the westernmost point of the tower; players should see a Sunwing icon appear to guide them and be given the R2 prompt to land.
Dismount the Sunwingand look across the gap which separates the two sides of the tower; players will seea yellow ladder held up by a red clamp that they can destroywith a fully drawn arrow.
With the ladder down,jump across the gap and onto itbefore dropping down onto the platform below. From here, players can seetwo rusted yellow beamson the eastern facing pillars being held up by blue clamps that Aloy canpull down with the Ropecaster.
Once both beams are down, get ready for more ofForbidden West’s excellent climbingand turn around toscale the western pillar back up to the Sunwing perch. At the top once again, jump across to the ladderfor a second time and climb down, this timedropping onto one of the beamsAloy pulled down.Hop across the gapbetween the two andclimb the southernmost pillar.
At the top, seea small yellow ledgeupon which Aloy can perch andactivate her Focus. After lining up the San Francisco skyline with the degraded image on her Focus, Vista Point: Isle of Spires will be complete.
Finding this will earn players XP tounlock some new skills, as well as some flavor text about Elisabet Sobeck’s company and the ‘Clawback’ decade, which features heavily in the lore ofHorizon Forbidden West.
