Follow this guide to complete the Stillsands Relic Ruin in Horizon Forbidden West. Learn how to find the Store Key and get the Crate Across the Water to earn the Go Big Ornament.

Alright, let's tackle the Stillsands Relic Ruin in Horizon Forbidden West! It's not too tricky, but you'll need to do a bit of crate-moving and puzzle-solving. We've got two main goals here: finding the Store Key and then getting that crate across the water to snag a sweet Ornament.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Find The Store Key

    First things first, approach the Relic Ruin from the north. You'll need to rappel down to get inside. Once you're in, head towards the back of the main room. You should spot a Crate on the left side. Use your Pullcaster to snag it and bring it down.

    Now, drag that Crate over to the wall that's covered in Firegleam – it's right near where you rappelled down. You'll need to ignite the Firegleam by holding down R2. Once that's cleared, push the Crate close to the platform inside the newly opened area. You'll then need to jump up and interact with the valve.

    After turning the valve, drop back down and push the Crate into the small gap in the wall. This is important because it'll block the drain. Once the water level rises, swim over to the stairs on the east side of the room. Up there, you'll find the Store Key. Grab it!

  2. 2
    Get The Crate Across The Water

    With the Store Key in hand, dive back into the water. Swim towards the north side of the room until you find a locked door. Interact with it to open it up.

    Grab the Crate from inside this new area and pull it out into the water. Now, grapple over to the nearest pillar. From there, use your Pullcaster on the Crate to drag it further out into the water, closer to the next pillar.

    Next, swim over to the rusty stairs you can see nearby. Pull the Crate towards you again. Then, swim over to the platform on the left side of the room and pull the Crate over there.

    For the final move, stand in front of the railing behind you and pull the Crate one last time. Now, jump onto the Crate, and from there, you can climb up the wall to reach the Go Big Ornament. Nice job!

Tips
  • Make sure you have enough ammo to clear the Firegleam if you plan on igniting it with your weapon.
  • Don't forget to use the Pullcaster frequently; it's your best friend for moving crates in these ruins.
  • Pay attention to the water levels; they change based on whether the drain is blocked.
  • Go Big Ornament
