After talking to Kivva, you'll need to climb to the top of the mountain on the other side of the Valley River that the Watchtower is overlooking.

At the other Watchtower, you will need to defeat the Skydrifters that are flying around in the area.

Once the Skydrifters are downed, you can reach the body of the soldier lying to the side of the Watchtower.
4 Horizon Forbidden West - Aid KivvaReturn to Kivva's Watchtower and Defend It
A horn will sound once again, this time warning of an attack. Head out to the edge of the Watchtower and glide your way to the other tower down below. Aid Kivva against the Machines and talk to her afterwards to finish the Errand.

Tips and Strategies

Shoot at the Lenses and Chest

Horizon Forbidden West - Shoot at the Lenses and Chest

Both Glinthawks and Skydrifters that you encounter can easily be taken care of by shooting arrows into either their "eye" sockets, or by tearing off the panels on their chest.

These two areas are at their most exposed and vulnerable when they are rearing back in preparation for an elemental attack – slow down time at this juncture and target the pieces for massive damage.

im having an issue with this errand when reaching the top of the mountain & killing the two birds, its still showing as 'kill the machines' & not allowing me to scan & view the body! Ive tried loading a previous save, progressing further with other things & coming back to it but still nothing! Its frustrating as I'm going for 100% which unless this bug is sorted, I am unable to achieve!
