Power Cell Locations In Zero Dawn Horizon

If anyone is new to playing Zero Dawn Horizon you may have heard about a collectable object called power cells. They’re locations are displayed all over the map, but in order to unlock all areas of the map you must either enter them from free roam or by playing the story. Once you have collected all power cells you will be able to unlock a special secret armor, which is locked away in an unknown bunker. The armor is called the Shield Weave Armor, it grants the player Alloy invincibility from machine attacks. You can take up to almost no damage because of the armor’s ability to absorb the contact, you can do this for a good amount of time until it blinks red meaning you need to charge it up again. It is the best armor that you can have in the game, so with that being said I will be your guide on how to find and collect all power cells.

The first power cell is located at the very start of the game where you have control of adult Alloy in the cave at the very beginning of the game. In the mission A Gift From The Past, you want to head back to the spot you first started in which is marked on your map as Ruins with a green symbol, once there you want to go inside the cave and make your way down to the lowest level and make your way to the other side of the room where you were in as a child. To get to the other you must break through the wall with your lance. You will know you’re close to the first power cell because Alloy will begin a short dialogue wondering if she can get through to the other side now that she is older. Once you get the first power a side mission message will pop up to find the remaining power cells.

The second power cell is located is located inside of All-Mothers Temple, you can access it  during or any time after the quest Womb Of The Mountain after the proving. If you are on your way to get it after the quest it is located through two doors after you wake up inside of the temple. You then have to crouch and make your way through a small vent like passage way thats on your right side. If you’re entering again after the quest, go straight in and down the stairs then down the corridor thats located to the right of the entrance until you reach a small circular room. You then turn left, walk through and its sitting on a small table.

The third power cell is located during the quest Maker’s End, the power cell is easier to obtain during there quest rather then coming back for it later. In this quest you must make your way all the way to the top of the building, ironically the power cell is located a short distance up from where you are at the top of the building. Even though that’s where it’s located you can’t get it just yet due to the mission, so you will have to re-enter the building and make your way back to the top. Once at the top again, turn around and face the spire where you see the gold handles then climb all the way to the top where you will see the power cell sitting there.

The fourth power cell can be found while doing the quest the grave hoard, this is just like   Mother’s End where you can get it while doing the quest or return after for it. After you enter the ruins you will have to solve three spinning disk puzzles that are located across two floors, after you have completed that climb up a ledge and open the door ahead of you which is located to the left. On the other side of the room is where you find the power cell directly in front of you on the floor.

The final power cell is obtainable during the quest GAIA Prime inside the ruins, at the end of the main quest line. You can also obtain it during the quest The Mountain That Fell, after making your way through the ruins you end up outside seeing a zipline. After using the zipline you will be on a lower external rocky area. The direction marker will tell you to continue going straight ahead. Instead of doing that turn around and you will notice a white item indicator on an upper level, double back and you will see the gold handles on the wall. Climb up a short distance and you will notice a purple lit room ahead, go inside and the power cell is in the back of the room sitting on a shelf located to your right.
