Players have access to a lot of different mounts in "Horizon Forbidden West" that help them traverse the world more easily and safely.
One of the mounts that the game features is the Sunwing mount, which is the only mount that players can use in "Horizon Forbidden West" that lets them fly in the air. This makes this particular mount unique and useful throughout the game.
This guide helps players learn everything they need to know about the Sunwing mount in "Horizon Forbidden West." This includes how to unlock it and also how to make use of it throughout their adventures.
How To Unlock the Sunwing Mount
In order to get the Sunwing mount in "Horizon Forbidden West," players will first need to complete the Gemini main story mission. This is where Aloy will receive a Sunwing override key before initiating the Wings of the Ten mission.
During this quest, Aloy will travel to the mountains near the base to look for a Sunwing to override for herself. You will find three of these machines, so it is just a matter of choosing which one you want to override, according to Game Rant.
Proceed with the mission, and you will be required to override a Tallneck located in the Shining Wastes, collect a Horus Energy Cell from a burned-out Titan, and defeat Regalla in combat.
After you choose whether or not to spare the enemy, you will finally be able to freely use the Sunwing mount to fly around the map.
How To Use the Sunwing Mount
In order to make use of your new mount, you need to whistle and call it down so it can carry you on its back and up into the air. You are able to jump off the Sunwing mount at any point and it will simply hover near you, Spiel Times said.
Whenever you are mounted on a Sunwing, you can move in various directions, including upwards and downwards. You can also perform a barrel roll and hover in place if you are looking for something in the area.
Another useful feature of the Sunwing mount in "Horizon Forbidden West" is that it can still scoop Aloy up even if she is gliding down with the Shieldwing tool. This means that you can go from a high vantage point to flying in the air without hassle.
Other Things To Know
After getting the Sunwing mount, you can more freely explore the map without having to worry too much about ground enemies and obstacles. This is arguably one of the best things you can unlock in the game because of how useful it is.
One of the main benefits of the Sunwing mount is that you can simply fly up the top of Tallnecks to override them and unlock more of the map. A lot of these can be found throughout the region to clear the fog, according to Tech Radar.
