Horizon Zero Dawn: Here's how to get the best outfit in the game

In this fantastic RPG open world, developed by Guerrilla Games and published by Sony, we have the opportunity to buy or win costumes for our heroine, Aloy. These clothes play a key role in the game.

It is important to know how to choose the best outfit for each battle and also customize it, through the coils, in order to obtain the best configuration, whether invisibility, protection against freezing, against fire, melee combat, shooting from a distance, among others.

However, in the game there is a super armor, the best costume of all, the Squire weaver or, Shield-Weaver Outfit, in English. The garment makes you almost indestructible, almost invincible.

By the way, getting this very special outfit also earns you a bronze trophy in the game.

But going back, how do I get the best outfit in Horizon Zero Dawn?

You will have to get 5 batteries and open two doors. Pretty simple, you would think. 

Mission: The Cemetery

During the mission the cemetery you'll basically trip over a battery. When you collect this battery, a side quest will automatically open: Old Armory. And it was here that my great quest began.

The other batteries won't be as explicit as that, but don't despair, just because you passed a mission location that had a battery and didn't think you're going to miss this magnificent outfit.

Ruins where Aloy fell as a child

Nas Ruins where Aloy fell as a child you will find several access points and one of the batteries. The battery is in a space whose entrance was covered by stalactites and stalagmites.

Luckily the ice formations are easily broken and you can grab your battery.

Mother of All

You have two good reasons to return to the All-Mother. One is obviously to easily get one more battery.

The second is discovering Rost's history, knowing why he was exiled. If you haven't read it yet, read our post about Rost's history and exile.

Our editor, Jansen, warned me that there is a famous bug that causes the access door to the Mother-of-All to appear locked for some people, I hope this is not your case.

But if it is, he said that in his case he found a way to climb the wall and fall inside. And despite the place being completely empty for him, with no NPCs, he found the battery.

Gaia Prime

This… I landed in the right place.

Creator's End

Here's a battery that's a lot easier to get during the main quest, at least that's what they say since I got mine the hard way.

Getting Battery on Mission the Easy Way

After listening to Elisabet Sobeck's hologram with Ted Faro, your goal becomes “Out of the Ruins” and a magical elevator door opens for you to easily descend back into the campaign. DO NOT DO IT!

In this place in the game you can climb a little further, and thus, find the battery. according to USGamer:

“Look east of the conference table. There are climbable rocks that take you above the entrance. Keep going up to the top, until you find the fourth battery.”

Taking the battery out of the mission

Oh my God! It was the hardest battery. It took me a while to find this darker entry (in the video: from 2 minutes).

Opening the doors

After you get two batteries you will be able to open a door. It's a simpler puzzle. It refers to the hours and starts from left to right.

Spoiler: from left to right: up, right, down, left, up.

With the other three batteries you can remove the glass that protects the suit. It's a more robust puzzle.

From the panel it was easy to discover that the puzzle referred to degrees, the hard part was remembering what we learned in school (not that it helps much).

All “locks” start with the “key” facing up. We consider that from 0º to 90º it is “a little ride” and that each 90º traveled is equivalent to one lap.

When choosing where to stay, starting from right to left, that is, the furthest from the panel:

• O first padlock, with the key turned to left.
• O second, is facing right. We count three laps.
• O third stay where you are, that is, facing up, we consider a complete turn, or a revolution.
• O fourth padlock is facing left. It was a complete turn (360º) plus a 90º turn.
• O fifth and last, phew, 360º (where the key is) + 270º (3 turns) = 630º = right.

Spoiler: from left to right: right, left, up, right, left.

As I started from left to right I reversed the order in the video.
