Complete the Silent Gliding Trial in horizon forbidden west. Get Full Stripes by performing two stealth kills from your Shieldwing within 1:00.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    This trial requires you to perform a Strike from Above stealth kill while hanging from your Shieldwing, similar to the second trial, but on two unalerted machines.
  2. 2
    Hold the Square button to deploy your Shieldwing and glide slowly.
  3. 3
    Use the poles scattered throughout the grounds as Grapple Points. Jump and quickly tap X when in range of a Grapple Point, then tap Circle before reaching the top to launch into the air.
  4. 4
    At the start, grapple to the pole in front of you. This will not start the timer.
  5. 5
    Once you see the initial Burrower, jump off the pole, glide over it using your Shieldwing, and perform the Strike from Above.
  6. 6
    After the kill, move to the hill to the north and grapple to the pole there.
  7. 7
    Launch yourself into the air from the pole, deploy your Shieldwing, and perform the second Strike from Above on the Burrower in the valley below. If the Burrower is not present, wait or move to another area, as you only have one minute to get both kills for Full Stripes.
Tips
  • Hold Square to deploy the Shieldwing while in mid-air.
  • While gliding, hover over an unalerted machine and tap R1 to perform a stealth kill.
  • When in range of a Grapple Point, jump and quickly tap X while in the air to use it. Tap Circle before reaching the Grapple Point to launch into the air.
  • Use Grapple Points to launch into the air and deploy your Shieldwing.
  • A red indicator on the HUD (heads-up display — the on-screen icons showing health, ammo and the minimap (the small circular map in the bottom-left corner of your screen)) means a machine has spotted you.
