Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After the first Flashpoint and a cutscene, you'll control Adult Aloy outside Rost's hovel. You'll receive a rank-up notification and three skill points.
  2. 2
    Outside Rost's hovel, find and destroy seven Grazer Training Dummies. Heavy melee attacks can knock them down. Destroying 23 dummies worldwide earns the Trophy: Downed 23 Grazer Dummies.
  3. 3
    Save your game at the nearby Campfire. Campfires are save points and fast travel points (requiring Fast Travel Packs).
  4. 4
    Make your way down the mountain to the waypoint and approach Rost for a dialogue sequence.
  5. 5
    During the conversation with Rost, ask "Anything else?" to receive Errand: Odd Grata.

    Use the zipline to descend into the valley. Equip any weapon or armor modifications you receive to earn Trophy: First Modification.

  11. 11
    Across the bridge, find a herd of three Striders. Kill them to collect three Blaze. You can use precision bow shots from afar, or stealth with Lure Call + Silent Strike.
  12. 12
    Craft a stack of 10 Fire Arrows using the Blaze to complete the first step of 'The Point of the Spear'. Consider crafting more Fire Arrows.

    Shooting the Blaze canister on a Strider's back will break it off, requiring separate looting for Blaze.
