Horizon Forbidden West Shining Example Walkthrough

February 17, 2022 by DK 3 Comments

Shining Example is an Errand Quest in Horizon Forbidden West (HZFW). This walkthrough will guide you through all objectives of the Shining Example side mission.

Location: Arrowhead
Quest Giver: Marallo
Quest Level: Level 32
Requirement: Finished Main Quest 16: The Wings of the Ten
Reward: 5000 XP, 1 Skill Points
Mission Info: A cache of Greenshine is waiting to be claimed atop a mountain in the desert, but dangerous machines stand in the way.

Objectives:

  • Gather a Horus Energy Cell (optional)
  • Fly to the Mountaintop /Drop the Energy Cell / Kill the Machines
  • Find the Greenshine
  • Kill the Dreadwing
  • Destroy the Metal Flower’s Vines / Gather the Greenshine

Starting Location: Arrowhead

Gather a Horus Energy Cell (optional)

In Arrowhead, Marallo wants to thank you for dealing with Regalla in some way. He tells you about a stash of Greenshine on top of a mountain and that your flying mount would be needed for it. He also mentions dropping an Energy Cell on the machines there might be helpful. Head to the southern marker first and using your flying mount pick up the Energy Cell.

Fly to the Mountaintop / Drop the Energy Cell / Kill the Machines

Now fly to the Mountaintop, drop the Energy Cell to stun all the Machines in the area for an extended period and defeat all the machines in the area.

Find the Greenshine

After dealing with the machine look for a cave covered in vines. Approach the Metal Flower above it and hit it a few times until it opens up.

Kill the Dreadwing

Attacking the Metal Flower will trigger an Apex Dreadwing to appear. This Apex Dreadwing is a stronger version of the machine. You will have to defeat it before you are able to grab the Greenshine.

Destroy the Metal Flower’s Vines / Gather the Greenshine

Once the Dreadwing is defeated, press :r1: at the Metal Flower to install the Vine Cutter Module which will destroy the Vines blocking the cave below. Once the Vines are gone grab the Greenshine loot in the cave and the quest will be finished.

This finishes Shining Example Errand Quest in Horizon 2: Forbidden West.

    Note the the quest can be bugged if you hit the metal flower and take the greenshine cache while doing the “Fight the Machines” portion of the quest.

    I took the greenshine while fighting the machines in the initial portion of the quest. The quest progression gets blocked since it will ask to destroy the vines and gather the greenshine afterwards when this was already done.

    Same here. Having the glitch because I hit the metal flower and destroyed the vines before ending the quest.
