Horizon Zero Dawn Cauldron Locations & Override Unlocks

February 26, 2017 by PowerPyx 8 Comments

Cauldrons are dungeons in Horizon Zero Dawn. They are tough indoor areas with high level enemies and more complicated structures than normal missions. They get marked on the map after going near them / when climbing Tallnecks. There are only 4 of them in total. Each one of them unlocks new overrides for your spear. This can be used to turn hostile machines into friends. They will then attack other machines and help you in combat.

The higher level Cauldrons let you override the biggest machines in the game which is very useful for story missions.

Cauldron Locations:

Cauldron Sigma

Go to the cauldron sigma icon on map and hold Triangle-Button at the door to open it.

Cauldron RHO

Very straight forward one. Simply rapel down at the marked cauldron symbol on your map to enter the cave. It’s in plain sight.

Cauldron XI

Loot Excavation Key from one of the guards to open the door

Cauldron Zeta

Climb up the rock pillar in front of the huge glowing metal door, then enter via an opening by the cliff.

Cauldron Unlocks / Rewards:

Cauldron Sigma

Unlocks overrides for the following machines:

  • Sawtooth
  • Scrapper
  • Grazer
  • Lancehorn

Cauldron RHO

Unlocks overrides for the following machines:

  • Trampler
  • Shell-Walker
  • Snapmaw
  • Longleg, Ravager

  • Freeze Bellowback
  • Stalker
  • Behemoth
  • Fire Bellowback

Cauldron Zeta

      Try to exploit the enemies weaknesses and hitting their weak spots (most are weak to certain elemental damage – see your notebook for enemy info).
      If something is too hard you can always switch to easy in game options and then put it back to normal afterwards.

      Well, the game rewards skill, and enemy damage does not scale to your level. All damage taken deals the same amount of damage regardless of your level.

    Any idea why the kill one of every type of acquisition machines won’t pop? I’ve killed every machine in the game multiple times. Especially the acquisitions. It’s the last one i need for platinum and it just won’t pop.

    Is there a possibility that “all cores overridden” is bugged? It says done next to every couldron -.- my last trophy missing. Also I am not able to enter Zeta again after completing it.
