10 Hidden Secrets In Horizon Zero Dawn

"Horizon Zero Dawn" is huge, so it naturally holds some tantalizing secrets. In a world filled with so much lore and so many machines to fight, it’s more than likely a few of these hidden details managed to sneak by even the most prolific Nora hunter. Our list includes its connections to "Death Stranding" (2019), multiple hidden Triforces, a reference to developer Guerilla Games' previous franchise "Killzone" (2004-13), and more! What was your favorite moment in Horizon Zero Dawn? How many of these secrets did you manage to discover on your first playthrough? Let us know down in the comments.

If you visit Rost's grave throughout various points of the game, Aloy talks to him and shares updates about her adventures. Kind of like a diary. She even removes her focus before talking to him, to keep things private. It's a sweet and touching detail.

My favorite detail is the "all allies joined" trophy which brings in characters from different side quests to help fight in the final battle

Fun fact about the HZD Engine: Guerrilla Games gave it to Kojima use on Death Stranding without cost, Kojima's dev team then studied it to know what it could do and like it, his team made some upgrades on the engine and send it back to Guerrilla as thanks.

A game detail that can easily be missed. Listen to the Carja priests' song in Meridian. If you follow them around you will see their different sunrise, noon, and sunset rituals with a unique song accompanying. It's really brilliant world building without resorting to dialogue or note reading.

I like some of the references to Egypt in this. Like how Faro sounds like Pharaoh and he saw himself like a ruler. Also the machines sound like the pharaoh swarm. Elizabet Sobeck is like Sobek, the crocodile headed god who was seen as the representation of the pharaoh’s power initially but he moved beyond that as time progressed.

When Rost chose her name and yelled, "Aloy!", I felt that

1:30 precisely: the description of her outfit at the beginning of FW mentions the fact that such armor was found in ancient ruins, then lost its ability of generating the shield, and hence was modified by Aloy.

One interesting detail in Zero Dawn is in a cut scene where Aloy can see a series of numbers, you see them in reverse, they are 38-50 26N 105-02 39W.
If you put them into a search engine such as Google Maps, These are the coordinates for Pikes Peak Colorado in the US.

I've beaten HZD like 5 times I thought I knew and did everything looks like I'm downloading it again before Forbidden West comes out

[Historicutuber]

This game was so good. Took me a while to beat it too

The quest to kill Hesephus was harder than the final Hades boss

I've always been a sucker for a good story in all games. Games like the Halo games, Elder Scrolls, Sea of Thieves, Mass Effect, and Star Wars all have great stories. Especially Halo since I grew up with it had a great story, but now since Infinite I have been bored of it and even the story feels like it's too much and too unrealistic. I was a little late to Horizon, but I played through all of it just a few days ago and I can definitely say it is now on 1st favorite list. I've never been more sucked into the story of this game. I made sure I read and listened to all the messages left behind and when the whole story finally came together (when you finally found out what happened), it hits you hard. The story seems more realistic in the way we are heading in the same direction in real life. You'd think the base of this story was a little cliche'(as in a typical AI robot take over and apocalyptic scenario), but the way the game developers crafted it, it is pure gold.

The funny thing is, I got the Shield Weaver and the Tearblaster but I never used either of them. Not because I thought they were too powerful, but because I already had outfits and weapons I liked. So I didn't even try them. I never once considered using them during the Frozen Wilds either. I just used Banuk gear.

[GuilhermePereira-zxze]

There's a expanation IN GAME about the whirlpool, it is on one of the datapoints!!!
The brazilian youtuber Tupan Thundergod talked about it once, if I remember well it's a machinne to control something in the lake, but ran out of control

[sarahlange]

I played the complete story + frozen wilds story and i got shield weaver

[annalawson]

I played ultra hard recently and omg, it was so easy??? The fire cannon from the frozen wilds is such an effective way to take down both corruptors and deathbringers lol

[tomislavpazitka]

I still didn't manage to return to that naming cliff, every time when I'm very close to area it's simply returning me to campfire. After I finish Forbidden West, I wana go back to this in Zero Dawn

[YDINO]

If the underground Tony Stark compound isn’t in this list we riot

[PirateTVProductions]

Thanks for featuring our discoveries. Im still convinced there's even more to find.
