Horizon Forbidden West: All Cauldron Locations

gamerant.com:

Sticking to the formula Guerrilla Games introduced in Zero Dawn, Horizon Forbidden West continues Aloy’s adventure across post-apocalyptic America and features the familiar dungeon-like areas known as Cauldrons that players can complete. But it’s back to square one for returning players as the rewards given for the first game’s Cauldrons are no longer available and will need to be unlocked once more as they travel into the West.

Out of the six Cauldrons that can be found in the Forbidden West, two are associated with main quests and cannot be missed.
