Follow this Horizon Zero Dawn walkthrough to complete the 'In Foreign Lands' Errand. Find a missing patrol, defeat Snapmaws, and retrieve Lakhir's weapon in Daytower.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    In Daytower, speak with Balahn to receive the 'In Foreign Lands' Errand.
  2. 2
    He asks you to search the valley southeast of Daytower for a missing Carja patrol, specifically in the Forsaken Village.
  3. 3
    Upon arriving at the Forsaken Village, locate a dead body by the campfire and examine it.
  4. 4
    Use your Focus to find and follow the tracks leading southwest out of the village.
  5. 5
    Cross the river, being mindful of Broadheads, and find another dead body. Examining this corpse is optional.
  6. 6
    Continue following the tracks to find a Carja helmet. Examine it to discover a new trail.
  7. 7
    Follow this new trail to a lake.
  8. 8
    Examine the pool of blood on the shoreline, which indicates you need to swim to the island.
  9. 9
    On the island, you will encounter Snapmaws, which are dangerous machines that can fight on land and water.
  10. 10
    Find the trail on the island and follow it to the top of a rock formation to find Lakhir.
  11. 11
    Speak with Lakhir, who will reveal his weapon is with a Snapmaw.
  12. 12
    Locate the Snapmaw that has Lakhir's weapon. It will be moving away from the others.
  13. 13
    Use a fire arrow to hit one of the Snapmaw's Blaze Canisters on top. This will cause it to explode and reduce its health significantly.
  14. 14
    Be aware that this will attract nearby Watchers. Hide and eliminate them if necessary.
  15. 15
    Wait for the Snapmaw to return and hit its second Blaze Canister. The fire damage over time should defeat it.
  16. 16
    Loot the Carja Bow from the defeated Snapmaw.
  17. 17
    Return the Carja Bow to Lakhir to complete the Errand.
Tips
  • Mark the Snapmaws with your Focus to keep track of their patrols.
  • When fighting the Snapmaw with the weapon, try to lure it away from the other machines to get a clear shot at its canisters.
  • Use fire arrows to exploit the Snapmaw's weakness to fire damage.
  • Be cautious when swimming, as one Snapmaw patrols the island's perimeter.
