Here’s how to disable the Tallneck that can be found wandering around in the Stand of the Sentinels in Horizon Forbidden West.
In Horizon Forbidden West, there are many classic and well-designed machines. Every device is primarily made to resemble an animal. There aren’t many objects in the game that are as well-known as the Tallneck.
Large devices called tall necks slowly move about on four legs. They won’t bother players and are not antagonistic. Although these devices are unbreakable, players can still gain from climbing them. Players gain useful map information when they ascend a Tallneck and override it, the like in the original Horizon Forbidden West game. Players can ignore the Tallneck that prowls the Stand of the Sentinels.
How to Disable the Sentinels’ Tallneck’s Stand
Players will spot a Tallneck strolling in a circle around the ruins of a former Tenakth town when exploring Stand of the Sentinels. Before ascending the Tallneck, players may choose to deal with the area’s numerous stalkers.
Start by searching for a location close to the earth where the Pullcaster can ascend to the first level of the abandoned village hidden among the enormous trees. Before attempting to climb the Tallneck, players can store their progress by using a campfire up here. Look for places where you can ascend the ruins farther. Aloy will eventually remark that she ought to be tall enough to reach the Tallneck. Kick down the rolled ladders for an easy path up before jumping onto the Tallneck.
Plan your jump to land at a point where you can grip onto and climb the Tallneck. Usually, this would be plenty to climb to the top of the Tallneck, but this specific one is challenging because some components are missing.
Ride the Tallneck instead, then watch for a chance to leap to one of the platforms on the left. From there, ascend and cautiously traverse the bridges demolished remains. Multiple ladders will be in your path, so destroy them to make room for a shortcut.
Searching for a ladder that can be taken down with an arrow after you pass the collapsed bridge would be best. To get to a point where you can leap onto the Tallneck, climb it and then utilize the zip line to get there. Please wait till the Tallneck is close enough for you to jump atop it. If the ladders were previously kicked down, it could take a few attempts to climb onto the Tallneck, but it will be simple to return right away.

When you’re on the Tallneck, go to the top and move toward the center of the disc. Use the glider to safely descend to the earth and avoid taking fall damage after overriding the Tallneck to collect map data.
