Save your game at the Campfire outside of Mother’s Watch. Talk to the nearby merchant to claim a Free Sample Box. Search east and west of the Campfire to find Training Dummy XII and Training Dummy XIII near the Mother’s Watch palisade.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Travel to the “Strider Site” to the northeast.
  2. 2
    Isolate one Strider, sneak up behind it undetected.
  3. 3
    Hold down [Triangle] to gain control of the machine.
  4. 4
    Mount your new Strider by pressing [Triangle]. Use the [Left Analog] to walk, and holding [X] makes the Strider walk faster. Press [X] a few times quickly to speed up, while holding [X] maintains speed. Press [Circle] to slow or stop. [R1] performs a melee attack. Press [Triangle] again to dismount.
  5. 5
    Follow the road south of Strider Site to the east, and at a four-way fork continue east, then southeast until you reach a bridge leading to the Main Embrace Gate.
  6. 6
    Along the western end of this bridge is a merchant.
  7. 7
    Continue east across the bridge and exit the gate to find Varl and his braves.
  8. 8
    After Varl finishes dispatching corrupted machines, talk to him.
  9. 9
    Exhaust his dialogue options, then he will ask you to find Marea at Mother’s Crown.
  10. 10
    He will then make a request to find Sona, the missing Warchief, around the War Party massacre site.
Tips
  • The merchant near the Main Embrace Gate sells new weapons: the Ropecaster, the Rattler, the Blast Sling, the Carja Tripcaster (with Blast Wires), a Carja Sharpshot Bow (with Tearblast Arrows), and a Shadow Sling (with Shock Bombs, Fire Bombs and Freeze Bombs).
  • New outfits are available but expensive. Modification Boxes (Very Rare quality) cost 1,350 Metal Shards.
  • Purchase the “Special Items” which include four maps: Map - Metal Flowers, Map - Banuk Figures, Map - Ancient Vessels and Map - Vantages. These mark the rough locations of collectibles.
