Complete Revenge of the Nora in horizon zero dawn. Defeat corrupted machines for 5,000 XP and clear Cultist camps.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Enter the Corrupted Zone, which contains a Corrupted Fire Bellowback and four Corrupted Chargers. Prioritize the Bellowback due to its size and ranged attacks. Aim for its Cargo Sac and Gullet with Tear-damage weapons. For the Chargers, target their horns with the Sharpshot Bow to deal significant damage and reduce their offensive capabilities. Be prepared to retreat often.
  2. 2
    After defeating the corrupted machines, claim the nearby Campfire to save your progress.
  3. 3
    Continue southeast past the ruined wall to find the Sterling-Malkeet Amphitheater Vantage Point. Use your Focus to scan it and then loot the nearby Supply Crate.
  4. 4
    Proceed southeast down the ruined amphitheater stairs. Search the southern edge of the ruins for the Text Datapoint - World “Chocolate Box Log”.
  5. 5
    Continue southeast to the stage ruins and find the Text Datapoint - World “To All Jessifans”.
  6. 6
    Turn east and follow the road, ignoring southern forks, until you reach a Campfire where Nora are resting. Save your game. Varl and Sona will appear to discuss the next objective: destroying the enemy camp near Devil’s Grief. This involves neutralizing three smaller camps that surround the main camp.
  7. 7
    Make your way downhill to the east, crossing the river via a log. Rest at the Campfire if needed.
  8. 8
    Continue east to a road, then follow it northeast to reach the western-most Cultist camp. This camp is located in the ruins of an ancient skyscraper.
  9. 9
    Expect Corrupted Watchers patrolling the area. Use stealth and high grass to take them out quietly.
  10. 10
    Sneak to the northern end of the camp to get a vantage point. Use your Focus to scan the four Cultists. Aim for their heads with the Sharpshot Bow. The alarm is a powered mechanical device and cannot be shot with arrows; you must get close to disable it. Clear the camp as quietly as possible.
  11. 11
    Loot the Supply Crates inside the camp and disable the alarm.
  12. 12
    South of the tower, search near a road for a pile of Ancient Rubble to find the collectible “Ancient Vessel - Miriam”.
  13. 13
    Follow the trail between the ruins to the east and scan some ruins to the north.
Tips
  • Corrupted Chargers are more aggressive than normal Striders and can perform a frenzy of kicks. While they have a Blaze Canister on their back, focus damage on their horns.
  • Dislodging the horns of Corrupted Chargers significantly reduces their offensive capacity.
  • Repeat hit-and-run attacks are effective against Corrupted Chargers, especially when retreating uphill to the northwest.
  • Aim for the Corrupted Fire Bellowback's Cargo Sac and Gullet with Tear-damage weapons.
  • Bonus points if you can catch Corrupted Chargers in the explosions from the Bellowback's weak points.
  • Stealth is preferable when approaching the Cultist camps.
  • Use your Focus to scan enemies in the Cultist camp and aim for headshots with the Sharpshot Bow.
  • The alarm in the Cultist camp cannot be disabled by shooting it; you must approach it directly.
