Master the Sun Furrows Hunting Grounds in Horizon Zero Dawn with our guide. Learn strategies for the Ravager vs. Machines, Thunderjaw vs. Ravager, and Ravager Control trials.
Walkthrough
- 1Fast travel to the Campfire north of Rockwreath.
- 2Take the northeastern path from the fork, ignoring the southeast road.
- 3Continue north-northeast into a canyon to a second fork.
- 4Head uphill to the north to find Sun Furrows Hunting Grounds.
- 5The quarry contains Watchers, Ravagers, and a Thunderjaw.
Trials:
Ravager vs. Machines Trial
- Take the center zipline to the high-ground around the quarry.
- Use a Shadow Hunter Bow or Shadow Sharpshot Bow with Tear modifications to dislodge the Ravager Cannon.
- Use the Ravager Cannon to kill two machines (Ravager or Watcher).
Thunderjaw vs. Ravager Trial
- Use Tearblast Arrows to detach one of the Thunderjaw's Disc Launchers.
- Use the Disc Launcher to kill two nearby Ravagers.
- Be aware of the Thunderjaw and the other Ravager attacking you.
Ravager Control Trial
- Locate the two Ravagers: one north of the quarry, one to the south.
- Override both Ravagers. Combat Override + skill is recommended to prevent the override from wearing out.
- When the Ravagers engage the Thunderjaw, use Freeze Arrows on the Thunderjaw.
- Shoot the Thunderjaw in the sides with an impact-damage boosted Shadow Hunter Bow or Shadow Sharpshot Bow, aiming to expose the Heart.
Tips
- The RHO Override codes from Cauldron RHO are mandatory.
- Skills like Combat Override and Combat Override + are highly recommended.
- A Shadow War Bow with three corruption mods is beneficial.
- Modified armors: Nora Silent Hunter Heavy (stealth mods), Nora Protector Heavy (resist melee mods), Oseram Arrow Breaker Heavy (resist ranged mods).
- For the Thunderjaw vs. Ravager trial, consider using Corruption Arrows on the Thunderjaw (risky), Fire Arrows on Ravagers (risks drawing attention), or Freeze Arrows on Ravagers for increased damage.
- For the Ravager Control Trial, stunning Ravagers with Shock Arrows makes overriding easier.
- Earning a Blazing Sun Rank in all three trials grants 52,500+ XP and +1 Skill Point.
- Individual trial rewards include Half Sun Boxes, Full Sun Boxes, and Blazing Sun Boxes based on time.
