Being the massive open-world game that it is, Horizon Forbidden West has a lot of activities for players to do, things to find, towers to climb, and Vista Points to complete. There are a couple of Vista Points in the world of Horizon Forbidden West, and these can be spotted out in the wild resembling a semi-tall tower. At first, players might think they need to somehow climb these towers, but that's not the case at all.

When Horizon Forbidden West players approach Vista Towers, they need to activate their Focus ability with a click of the right control stick, and then scan the front of the tower. The game will tell players that the Vista Point image was captured somewhere in the nearby area, and players need to use their Focus to line up the fuzzy image with the world and find where it was taken. Aloy will give players hints at times to help them find the location, but it can be challenging to find the exact spot to complete the Vista Tower at The Daunt, the region between Chainscrape and Barren Light.

Find Where the Vista Image Was Taken

After scanning the Vista Tower at the Daunt, players will need to search the surrounding area for the image location. To locate the Vista image for the Daunt tower, players should head directly northeast of the tower. Follow the river, and eventually, players will see a structure to stand on that looks like a part of a broken bridge. Across from the structure are some ruined homes and there's a mountain in the background, matching the image of the Vista Tower.

If players look below, they can see the exact path to follow to get to the image point. Once players stand on the end of the broken bridge, face the homes, and go into Focus mode again to complete this very first Vista Point in Horizon Forbidden West.

Upon completion of the sidequest, Aloy will receive XP that, if enough is earned, will level up Aloy and give her more skill points to unlock new abilities in the menu.
