Horizon Zero Dawn: All Ancient Vessel Locations Guide

All Ancient Vessel Locations Guide – Horizon Zero Dawn

Horizon Zero Dawn’s Ancient Vessels are littered all around the world, and resemble the often battered remains of a mug from our time. Of course, with everything that’s old and rare there’s someone who will offer good money for them, so grabbing them all will be well worth your time in Horizon Zero Dawn.

There are 12 different Ancient Vessels to find littered around Horizon Zero Dawn’s world. These are broken down into three sets, and once a set is complete, you can trade them with the Artifact Collectibles Specialty Merchant in Meridian.

However, it’s well worth visiting him before you even begin hunting down the Ancient Vessels in Horizon Zero Dawn. Speak to him, offer to trade, and you can buy a map upgrade that reveals the locations of all of the Ancient Vessels in the game. This will make it a lot easier for finding them on your own, but if you want a helping hand pinpointing their locations, check out our Ancient Vessels location descriptions below.
