How to Find & Defeat the Jagged Deep Rebel Outpost

Learn how to find and defeat the Jagged Deep Rebel Outpost in Horizon Forbidden West. Get tips on stealth, locating the leader, and looting the chest.

Alright, let's tackle the Jagged Deep Rebel Outpost in Horizon Forbidden West! This one's located in the No Man's Land area, pretty far down in the southeast corner of the map. The guide suggests you should be around Level 10 before you head in, so make sure you're prepped!

When you get there, you've got two main goals: take down the Rebel Leader (which is mandatory) and clear out the Rebel Soldiers (which is optional). Honestly, going in stealthy is the way to go. This place is crawling with Rebels, and a quiet approach will save you a lot of hassle.

First things first, whip out your Focus to spot the leader. He's pretty easy to pick out because he's got a good amount of armor on. Since he's usually near the front, you can totally lure him away from the rest of the group. He'll come investigate if he gets suspicious, and there's usually some tall grass nearby where Aloy can hide for an easy silent takedown.

Once you've dealt with the leader, you'll need to loot his body. This is important because you'll find a key on him. After that, you'll get a new objective to find a chest somewhere in the camp. Don't worry, it's not far! Just head into the camp, and keep an eye out for that distinct purple symbol above the chest. That's where you'll use the key.

If you've been sticking to stealth, you'll need to be super careful not to alert the other Rebels when you're heading for the chest. The good news is you don't have to venture too deep into the camp. Opening that chest is the last mandatory step, and you'll snag some useful materials and rewards for Aloy.

Now, about those remaining Rebel Soldiers: you have a choice. You can either clear them all out or just leave. If you're finding it tough, Aloy will even mention that the soldiers might just abandon the camp on their own, so it's not strictly necessary to fight them all if you're struggling. However, if you're Level 10 or higher, taking them all down is a good way to get some extra experience points.

Besides the loot from the leader and the chest, there aren't any special official rewards for completing this outpost. The main payoff is the satisfaction of taking down another rebel stronghold and bringing a little more peace to the area!
