Hey there! So, you've stumbled upon the 'Burden of Command' Errand in Horizon Forbidden West, huh? Don't worry, it's a pretty straightforward one, but it throws a couple of tough machines at you. Let's get you through it smoothly.

Walkthrough

1
Meet Yarra or Drakka South of Scalding Spear: First things first, you need to have finished the Side Quest called The Gate of the Vanquished. Once that's done, head to Scalding Spear and chat with either Drakka or Yarra – whoever you sided with in that quest. They'll be hanging out southwest of the main settlement.
2
Follow the Track: After your chat, it's time to get tracking. Activate your Focus by holding down R3. You'll see a track highlighted, so press R1 to highlight it and then follow it. Keep going until you stumble upon an abandoned plane. Inside, you'll find a Tenakth Child.
3
Protect the Child: This is where things get spicy. A Thunderjaw is going to show up, and you need to keep that child safe. This big fella is weak to Purgewater and Acid Ammo. Your best bet is to target its Disc Launcher and Tail. These parts are not only exposed but also the source of some of its most devastating attacks. Take those off, and you'll make the fight much more manageable.
4
Deal with the Stormbird: Just when you think you're in the clear, BAM! A Stormbird swoops in. Don't panic! Make sure you've got Acid or Plasma Ammo equipped. Aim for its Wing Thrusters – that's its weak spot. Take it down, and you're almost done.
5
Finish Up: Once both machines are down, have another chat with the Tenakth Child. That's it! You've successfully completed the 'Burden of Command' Errand.

Tips

Remember to use your Focus (hold R3) to highlight enemy weak points and tracks. It's a lifesaver!
For the Thunderjaw, hitting the Disc Launcher and Tail will significantly reduce its offensive capabilities.
For the Stormbird, those Wing Thrusters are key. Aim carefully and keep moving to avoid its attacks.
Having a good stock of Purgewater, Acid, and Plasma Ammo will make these fights much easier.
