Learn how to defeat the Corrupted Behemoth and Corruptors in The Terror of the Sun quest in Horizon: Steel Frontiers. Get your gear back and exploit weak points!

Alright, so you've just triggered 'The Terror of the Sun' quest. It's pretty straightforward, mostly just an interim fight. You'll sit through a decent cutscene with Helis and Aloy, and then BAM! Helis drops you right into the Sun Ring. The catch? Two Corruptors have already messed with a Behemoth, and it's not happy.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Get Your Gear Back: As soon as you land in the Sun Ring, you'll notice your gear is gone. Don't worry, it's just above you, held by pillars. The trick here is to lure the Behemoth. Stand in front of one of those pillars and wait for the Behemoth to charge. As it's about to hit, dodge out of the way. The Behemoth will smash into the pillar, dropping some of your gear. You'll need to do this twice to get all your equipment back.
  2. 2
    Take Down the Behemoth: Once you've got your gear, it's time to fight! Focus on the Behemoth's weak points. Tearblast Arrows are great for stripping its armor, and Fire Arrows will deal good damage. Laying down Blast Wires in its path before it charges can also be super effective. Keep moving around the arena, try to keep your distance, and chip away at its health. Don't forget to keep an eye on your own health bar and heal up whenever you need to.
  3. 3
    Deal with the Corruptors: After you manage to defeat the Behemoth, Helis isn't happy. He'll order the Corruptors to finish you off. This is where Sylens makes his timely entrance, bringing Striders and Ravagers to help you out and breaking you out of the Sun Ring.
Tips
  • Keep moving! The Behemoth hits hard, and staying still is a death sentence.
  • Prioritize getting your gear back first. You'll be at a huge disadvantage without it.
  • Use the pillars to your advantage not just for getting gear, but also for cover if you need a moment to heal or reposition.
  • Don't underestimate the Corruptors, even after the Behemoth is down. They're fast and can be deadly in groups.
