Tallneck Locations (Reveal Map and Remove Fog)

By HSD.

Tallneck's are massive dinosaurs with long necks, which players can attempt to climb and ultimately capture. Given the settings for HZD, climbing to a higher vantage point such as the top of a larger robotic dinosaur makes complete sense to gain a better view of the surrounding area.

Each of the Tallnecks in the game is associated with a particular region of the map and because of this it has a name and also a dedicated side quest. A good example is:

"Tallneck: Devil's Thirst"

How to climb and override a Tallneck

you must "climb" Tallneck's to reach the highest point of their body (the head), and then "override" the creature to complete the task.

Climbing higher and higher constitutes a simple platformer puzzle, with each of the dinosaurs neck parts becoming a new platform to leap from ledge to ledge. Simply jump, pull yourself up and repeat the process, working your way up the neck.

Once you reach the top (head) of the giant creature, walk towards the glowing red/yellow area of the head. Hold down triangle to Override the beast, turning it friendly and revealing a new portion of the map in the process. A little hologram animation will play briefly and the head turns blue

Be careful though, along the way Aloy can fall to certain death or become attacked by nearby enemies, particularly at ground level when approaching the Tallneck, Use cliff edges or vantage points to your advantage and jump onto the creature's back.
