![]() If you’re in the middle of a hard quest and you can’t get to a merchant, you’ll have to make a hard choice. But if you find yourself with four slots full of strider hearts and you haven’t spent a single one yet, it’s probably safe to get rid of them. It’s probably smart to keep one or two of most things for a rainy day. Don’t sell every single thing you’re carrying in some Fight Club-esque statement about the things you own owning you. Chances are, those things aren’t going to require 17 watcher lenses. Check your capacity upgrades and see what’s required. Then, take note of what resources are required to buy your next wishlist item. These items are just money in your pocket. First, check for things that only list “selling for metal scraps” under the used for section. This will likely clear up a couple more slots. Make some potions and traps and top off all of your ammo. These can be expensive and eat up a lot of resources. Check for capacity carry upgrades for both your resource satchel and every other satchel, quiver and pouch you have. Before too long, you’ll end up with an inventory full of stuff and no room for more. ![]() Let’s assume you followed our earlier advice. This is a great way of remembering things like “Did I need three fox skins or four?” and “How many rat bones did I need again?” Well, now my inventory’s full. This turns the cost of that item into a quest (you’ll find it under errands in your quest menu.) This new quest’s objectives will be to collect everything you need to purchase whatever you’re looking for. It’s become our white whale.Įvery crafting item and every item for sale at merchants has the option to “create a job” for it. Create jobs for stuff you want That fox skin is a real example. Instead, though, if you both hunt animals and pick up everything, there’s a good chance you already have a fox skin, and you’ll save yourself a lot of time and frustration. You can go out and start killing foxes until you get one - and there’s nothing wrong with being reactive like that - but you’ll be relying on random chance to get that rare drop. Here’s why: sometimes you’ll find yourself needing one specific thing (let’s say a fox skin) and that thing is a very rare drop. If you have a healthy inventory, you’ll save yourself from running around collecting stuff as a reaction to a need. You’ll constantly be making ammunition with more and more rare components, selling things for cash and trading things (and cash) for new outfits and weapons. Everything in Horizon Zero Dawn is useful, and picking it up will save you time. Expand your resource satchel so you can pick up more. If you get in the habit of collecting animal resources, you’ll be able to afford upgrades without a lot of running around. ![]() It’s tempting to ignore hunting animals, but you’ll eventually find yourself in dire need of a rat bone. Animals provide very useful items - meat for health potions and carry capacity upgrades, skin and bones for capacity upgrades and various talismans (talismen?) that can be sold for cash. But after you’re done with the bison, don’t forget about that rabbit. Given the option of hunting a bunny rabbit or a school bus-sized robot bison that breathes fire, we know what you’re going to choose. Hunt animals You can look for animals with your focus and tag them to make hunting easier. (We were going to call this section “Seven habits of highly effective Nora,” but then we wrote eight points and it didn’t work any more.) Let’s talk about some habits to form to make you more effective and some questions you might have about playing. There are still things you’ll forget, ignore or struggle with. That doesn’t mean that you’ll have an immediate or innate understanding of every mechanic or system, though. There’s not much that isn’t explained for you right there on the screen. As we mentioned in our Horizon Zero Dawn beginner’s guide, Horizon Zero Dawn is great at guiding you through its mechanics and nuances. ![]()
