Enemies | Horizon Zero Dawn Wiki


Enemies in Horizon Zero Dawn are listed here. The robots that wander the landscape do so under their own ecological machinations, with their reasons not totally clear. They behave in a manner similar to animals in the wild, with herd behaviors present. There is a corruption that is spreading through the machines, marked by a black ooze. When corrupted, a machine behaves unpredictably, and is prone to violence. 

Aloy will make use of various Weapons to subdue the machines. Machines can be restrained with a Ropecaster or traps, or brought down by scanning for their elemental and armor weaknesses. See the Combat page for in depth info on how Aloy can approach hunting the robots. 

Aloy can also use her Override ability to hack the machines for her purposes, including converting some of them into Mounts.

See the Bosses page for the bigger story foes you encounter over the course of the Main Quest.
