Similar to Horizon Zero Dawn, you need to finish Cauldrons to unlock the necessary override function to control machines. However, in Horizon Forbidden West, simply clearing the corresponding Cauldron is not enough. Once the Cauldron is clear, you will need to upgrade your spear's overrides at the Fabrication Terminal in the Base (near where you talk with Gaia).
