Follow this guide to complete The Runner's Wild Relic Ruin in Horizon Forbidden West. Find the Altar Key and the A Church? Really? Ornament with step-by-step instructions.

Alright, let's get you through The Runner's Wild Relic Ruin! It's not too tricky, but there are a couple of spots where you'll need to use your tools just right. We've got two main objectives here: finding the Altar Key and then snagging the A Church? Really? Ornament.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Finding the Altar Key:
    First off, approach the ruin from the west. You'll spot a locked door on your left – that's our goal. To get there, hop into the small room on the right. Use your Igniter on the Firegleam Wall, and then blast it open with your Pullcaster. Head through the opening you just made. You'll see a crate; use your Pullcaster to pull it towards you. Grab it (press [Triangle]) and push it through the two holes you've created. Keep pushing it to the end of this path and then climb up onto the roof. Now, push the *other* crate you see down to the ground floor. Drop down yourself and look behind you for a Grapple Point. Break that open, and then drag the crate you just pulled down over to the other crate. Drag this combined setup to the opposite side of the area and place it inside the tower. Climb up from there, and you'll find the Altar Key.
  2. 2
    Finding the A Church? Really? Ornament:
    Now that you've got the key, unlock the door. You'll need to break down the wall to your left using your Pullcaster. Place the crate you find in front of this hole, and then pull the top crate into the room. From here, push this crate to the end of the slope. Climb into the hole in the tower, and you'll find the A Church? Really? Ornament.
Tips
  • Make sure you've got your Igniter and Pullcaster ready before you start.
  • Don't forget to use the Pullcaster to move the crates; they're essential for reaching new areas.
  • Pay attention to the environment for those Firegleam Walls – they're your cue to use the Igniter.

Completing this ruin gets you the Altar Key and the A Church? Really? Ornament.
