Follow this Horizon Forbidden West walkthrough to complete the 'In the Fog' side quest, defeat the Acid Clawstrider and Clamberjaws, and find the Memorial Marker.
Alright, let's tackle the 'In the Fog' side quest in Horizon Forbidden West. This one kicks off in the settlement of Tide's Reach. You'll meet Fenirra, who's been injured by her father, Garrokah. She's worried about him, so Aloy agrees to go find him. The quest rewards you with a Sunhawk Shredder Gauntlet and Tenakth Dragoon Face Paint, and it's recommended for players Level 20 and up.

Head to Garrokah’s Camp: First things first, you need to get to Garrokah's Camp. It's a bit of a trek, so go ahead and call your mount. Once you get there, you'll find his gear. Use your Focus to highlight the path forward and follow it. You'll soon find Garrokah in the middle of a fight with an Acid Clawstrider.

Defeat the Acid Clawstrider: Time to help Garrokah out! The Acid Clawstrider is pretty tough, especially against Acid damage, so definitely avoid using that. Your best bet is to hit it with Plasma damage. If you're around Level 20, this fight shouldn't give you too much trouble.

Talk to Garrokah: After the fight, Garrokah will ask for your help. He wants to save his squad from an ambush he's been watching. Despite your gut feelings, you should go with him. Be ready, though – on the way, two Stalkers will jump out. They're usually pretty easy to handle, so take them down quickly.
When you finally arrive at the supposed ambush site, there's no one there. Garrokah seems confused and doesn't remember stabbing Fenirra or even who you are. It becomes clear he's suffering from memory loss. He'll then realize this whole situation actually happened about 30 years ago, and his squad has been gone for ages. He'll mention one of the Memorial Markers is missing and ask for your help finding it.

Follow the Tracks: Use your Focus again to highlight and follow the tracks. This will lead you to the missing Memorial Marker. Keep in mind, these tracks will lead you right to a Clamberjaw site, so be prepared for a fight.

Kill the Clamberjaws: You'll need to take down the Clamberjaws before you can grab the Memorial Marker. These guys can be a handful. They're weak against Purgewater damage, so try to use that as much as possible. On the flip side, Fire and Plasma damage won't be very effective, as they're resistant to both.

Retrieve the Memorial Marker: With the Clamberjaws dealt with, you can now search the scrap piles to find the Memorial Marker. Once you have it, Garrokah will head back to Tide's Reach to reconcile with Fenirra, and they'll have a touching moment as he apologizes.
- When fighting the Acid Clawstrider, remember its weakness is Plasma damage, and it's resistant to Acid.
- The Stalkers that appear on the way to the supposed ambush are usually manageable, but stay alert.
- For the Clamberjaws, Purgewater is your best bet for damage. Avoid Fire and Plasma.
