Overriding a Tallneck in Horizon Forbidden West opens up the map for more exploration. With six Tallnecks in total, the one in the Shining Wastes can be difficult to complete if the player doesn't know what to do. As Aloy explores this new world, she'll come across over 40 machines, each with its strengths and weaknesses.

Some may be locked until Aloyt receives a certain upgrade or ability. In the case of the Tallneck in the Shining Wastes, players will need to wait until a certain mission in the main story.
