Learn how to locate and conquer the Plainsong Rebel Outpost in Horizon Forbidden West. Discover strategies to defeat the Rebel Leader and soldiers, and find valuable loot.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Locate the Plainsong Rebel Outpost by finding the 'Unknown Rebel Camp' southwest of Plainsong on the map. It's on the eastern side of the map, moving towards the center.
  2. 2
    Approach the outpost, hiding in tall grass to remain undetected.
  3. 3
    As you near the outpost, you'll see unattended machines. You can override these to create a distraction or throw stones to lure soldiers closer for stealth takedowns.
  4. 4
    The Rebel Leader is located at the back of the outpost. You can sneak past other soldiers or eliminate them first. He is easily identifiable by his distinct armor and equipment.
  5. 5
    Use Silent Strikes from tall grass or engage in direct combat to take down the other Rebel Soldiers and machines.
  6. 6
    Once the other enemies are dealt with, focus on the Rebel Leader. Use arrows or your spear to defeat him. A recommended level of 10 is advised for this encounter.
  7. 7
    After defeating the Rebel Leader, you have two options for the remaining Rebel Soldiers: either defeat them for experience or leave the outpost. If you leave, Aloy will note that the Rebels will abandon the location, and the outpost will be considered complete.
  8. 8
    Loot the various chests around the outpost for better rewards than what the Rebel Leader drops.
Tips
  • Tag machines ridden by Rebel Soldiers to track their patrol routes if you wish to avoid them.
  • If you choose to leave the outpost after defeating the leader, the remaining soldiers will be gone upon your return.
  • Fighting the remaining soldiers can provide valuable experience.
  • Consider overriding nearby machines to cause chaos and distract the enemy forces.
