Horizon Forbidden West: How to get the breathing device and breathe underwater

You’ll need a Diving Mask to go deep underwater in Horizon Forbidden West – here’s how to get it.

If you’re playing through Horizon Forbidden West, you’ve probably found yourself exploring an underwater cave that your lung capacity isn’t quite cut out for. It’s a bit deep for the old airbags, and you’ll drown if you try to brute force it. Hey, we’ve all been there. 

So how do you solve this? With a breathing device, of course. No need to worry about little things like oxygen when you have one of those bad boys. Don’t worry about the fact it doesn’t come with an oxygen tank, this is a video game where you kill robotic dinosaurs with a bow and arrows.

But how do you get the breathing device in Horizon Forbidden West? Thankfully, it’s quite simple. All you need to do is follow The Sea of Sands main questline. This will send you on a mission under the ruins of Las Vegas, and you’ll need to breathing device to do it. 

When you arrive, you meet a band of inventors. These send you out on a quest to get parts for the device, then it’s just a case of crafting it at the nearby workbench before diving into the abyss. Lovely. 

I bet you’re annoyed with yourself that you didn’t realize the quest where you’re looking for Poseidon is the one that lets you breathe underwater, eh? Don’t worry, your secret is safe with us. Only the god of the seas can judge you now.
