Horizon Forbidden Westplayers can find up to nine different Vista Point Towers scattered across the game’s massive open world. These side activities are purely optional but can help players earn bonus XP towards unlocking new skills to bolster Aloy’s arsenal, making it easier to take down thebig bad dinosaur machines. This guide will go overVista Point: The Stillsands inHorizon Forbidden West.
Upon reaching these Vista Towers, it may look as if players need to climb up the tower to activate it, but players need touse their Focus abilityby pressing in the right control stick. This is the same ability used to scan machines to find their weaknesses and loot information. Scan the bottom of the tower, and a blurry image will appear that resembles a view from the Old World – in this case, players will notice it’s supposed to be Las Vegas, a popular travel destination in the state of Nevada.
The map will show a yellow circle where the image can be found, but it won’t show the exact location. Aloy will give players a few hints, but finding where the image lines up can still be challenging.

Find Where the Vista Image Was Taken
Once the image is obtained, players will need tofind where the Vista Point imagewas taken and match Aloy’s world with the fuzzy picture. And for this Vista Point in the Stillsands, players won’t have to travel far at all.

Press the right stick again to bring the holographic image up, and move it around until it lines up withHorizon Forbidden West’s Vista Tower and the other tower in the background.
