Horizon Forbidden West: The Daunt Relic Ruin guide

A step-by-step guide to completing The Daunt Relic Ruin in Horizon Forbidden West.

If you’re looking to complete all the relic ruins in Horizon Forbidden West, this guide will get you on your way by taking you through The Daunt. Here’s what you need to do. 

You’ll see a crate as soon as you arrive. Grab it and push it into the ruins, next to a circular yellow handhold. Jump on top and climb up. Head outside onto the balcony and turn left, before running and jumping across the gap. 

Drop into the next room and scan the datapad called Your Red Permit Code. Then turn around and use your grapple to pull the crate above down. On the opposite side of the room, there’s a ventilation shaft, which you also need to open up with your grapple.

Now head back to the balcony you jumped across and use the height on the ramp to jump to the roof of the second building. Once up top, you can drop down into the vent you pulled down. 

This brings you into another room. Use your grapple on the cracked wall in here to pull it down and create a doorway into the room with the crate. Drop down the hole in the new room and look for a blue girder on the ceiling. Pull it down and get the crate down the hole.

Push the crate to the other side and use it to stand on top of, allowing you to climb the yellow beam to the roof. From here, hop over the balcony on your left to get the key module. Now head back into the first room to put the key in the console and type in the code. 

As it says in the datapad, the code is 1705. Pop it in and grab the Ornament to complete The Daunt.
