The tower itself (circled in red) is located atthe north end of the Isle of Spires, beside some Slaughterspine infested ruins. These lie to thesoutheast of the Horus carcassand the Golden Gate Bridge, north-northeast of the ‘Boat to the Mainland’ andnorthwest of ‘Legacy’s Landfall’and ‘The Digsite’ that Aloy visits during ‘Faro’s Tomb.’
To find the tower, players should look for the rusty, ivy-covered antennaon the eastern treeline by the beach. UsingAloy’s invaluable 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.
To find where the picture was taken,head directly north from the tower’s base and jump into the ocean.Swim straight ahead,and Aloy will find thebreathtaking drowned domed ruins of The Palace of Fine Arts.To the right, players can also see someblue bioluminescent barnaclesclinging to some concrete ruins.
As players head towards this, they may notice asmall yellow handraillooking out towards the Palace, which Aloy can use to propel herself through the water.Approach this slowlyuntil Aloy latches on and stops moving to avoid launching herself forward. This will give players a good view of the Palace and, after lining up the image,activating their Focus will complete the Vista Point.
Finding this will earn playersXP to unlock some new skillsand some flavor text about Elisabet Sobeck’s company and the ‘Clawback’ decade, which features heavily in the lore ofHorizon Forbidden West.
