Tips and Strategies

Other Quests Temporarily Locked After Completion

Horizon Forbidden West - Quest Locked.jpg
After completing The Kulrut, you won't be able to access any other Quests besides the next Quest, Cradle of Echoes, until you have completed Cradle of Echoes.

If you are hoping to take on another Quest, it's best to go ahead and do that first before you finish the final step of The Kulrut.

Use Fire Repeaters

Horizon Forbidden West - The Kurlut - Kill Ravagers First.jpg
Don't hesitate to use the Fire Repeaters on the marching machines, as they will be enough to take down all of them. You can shoot down the Ravagers first to avoid getting shot from afar. You can find them if you walk on the other parts of the wall.

Shoot the Log Stockpile using Fire Repeaters

Shooting the lock on the logs can cause them to go down, damaging and killing anyone who gets hit by them. It is useful, especially if you're playing on Normal or higher difficulties.

Go for Headshots

Horizon Forbidden West - The Kurlut - Fighting the Rebels.jpg
If you decide to fight the remaining rebels while you're on your way to Hekarro, you can shoot them in the head to deal increased damage. A single Precision Arrow should be enough to take them out, but you need a couple more if you're using Hunter Arrows.
