Once you've found the camp of the Oseram group, examine the machine carcass, datapoint, and tallneck components to determine that happened to the group!

Use the Ballistas to Anchor the Tallneck

There are 3 Ballista in total so you'll need to move around the camp to use them. Head to the closest one and get ready to fight some machines! Don't worry though as the enemies will be staggered in 3 batches

They'll be quite easy to take out. Once they're down, use the Ballista to aim for the weak points on the Tallneck. These points can be seen with your Focus and will be highlighted in blue!

Climb onto the Tallneck

Or.... just climb the nearby mountain to the top. Glide onto the Tallneck. Override it. Simple as that.
