Your guide to finding and clearing the Eastern Lie Rebel Camp in Horizon Forbidden West. Learn strategies, defeat the leader, and destroy the Blaze stockpile.
Alright, let's get this Eastern Lie Rebel Camp cleared out in Horizon Forbidden West. This is probably one of the first ones you'll stumble upon, so it's a good one to get the hang of these camps.
Where to Find It: You'll find the Eastern Lie camp just west and a bit north of Barren Light. It's also pretty close to a Rebel Outpost called The Deadfalls, which you might have already visited during a side quest.
Camp Details:
- Location: West of Barren Light
- Recommended Level: 8
- Rewards: 26703 XP
Strategy for Clearing the Camp:
The most straightforward way to approach the camp is by taking the road that leads you right to the southern entrance. As you get close, you'll notice patrols of Rebels riding Chargers outside the camp. It's a really good idea to take these out from a distance before they spot you. If you can manage to pick them off without alerting the main camp, you'll have a much easier time and a clear escape route if needed.
Once those mounted patrols are dealt with, you'll see three ways into the camp from the south: you can head up a hill to the east, go straight through the front gate, or follow a river that winds its way upstream to the west. Going up the hill to the east will get you to the southeastern part of the camp, where you can use the tall grass to your advantage and pick off enemies stealthily. If you follow the river to the west, you'll go through a cave and end up in the western corner of the camp, which also has plenty of cover.
Honestly, I recommend taking the river path. Not only does it let you get the drop on a few more Rebels without being seen, but you'll also find a Ravager Cannon lying around. This thing is a beast! It has limited ammo, so it'll be useless once it's empty, but it's got enough firepower to take out most of the remaining enemies in the camp. Once you've got the Ravager Cannon, you can pretty much forget about stealth and just blast your way through the rest of the camp.
Dealing with the Rebel Leader:
After you've cleared out the lower parts of the camp, head towards the northern end. You'll find your path blocked by a raised drawbridge. If you've cleared the Deadfalls outpost, you'll know what to do: shoot the ropes holding the drawbridge up. Once it drops, grab that awesome Ravager Cannon you might have found earlier, and cross over. You'll face a few more Rebels, including the camp's leader.
This leader is protected by an energy shield, kind of like Regalla's Champion from The Embassy quest. Don't worry, though – the Ravager Cannon makes short work of it. A few seconds of continuous fire will blast through the shield and take down the leader easily.
Destroying the Blaze Stockpile:
With all the Rebels defeated, make your way uphill to the northwest, then turn right (northeast). You'll find the leader's quarters. Here, you'll need to scan a Messaging Device on a stone slab to get a message from Regalla. Then, scan and read some Weathered Parchments on a nearby table, and finally, examine some Empty Canisters. These give you a good idea of what the Rebels were planning.
Now, head back down to the main part of the camp and look for a bunch of Blaze containers on the northeastern edge. Use a fire weapon to shoot them and cause a big explosion. If you've taken out all the enemies, this will officially complete the Eastern Lie Rebel Camp!
