Cauldrons in Horizon Forbidden West are your way to add more overrides to your spear and begin controlling any machine you encounter in the wilds. Having the ability to override your toughest enemies not only takes a powerful chip off the table that wants to kill you but also makes you more lethal by providing an extra ally. Here are the locations of every Cauldron in Horizon Forbidden West.

There are six total Cauldrons in Horizon Forbidden West, two of them being connected to the main story quest progression. Keep in mind that once you enter a Cauldron, you can not leave it until it is completed. If you feel you are stuck at a point in a Cauldron, you can reload your last save or lower the difficulty. Overrides below that are boldened require you to retrieve parts to unlock that override fully.

Repair Bay: TAU

While it is not called a Cauldron, Aloy gets her first overrides of the game outside of the Chargers at this location. This is tied to the main story.
