Horizon Forbidden West Vista Points Locations Guide PS5 PS4 1

Where are all the Vista Points in Horizon Forbidden West? How do you find the locations for each Vista Point? Vista Points are spots across the map in Horizon Forbidden West that offer a brief glimpse at the Old World. As part of our Horizon Forbidden West guide, we will be showing you where all the Vista Points are, as well as where to go to solve them.

Horizon Forbidden West: How Do You Solve Vista Points?

Vista Points are a little more involved in Horizon Forbidden West than they were in the first game. When you reach a Vista Point on the map, you will be given a partial hologram of the Vista Point, and you'll need to line it up with somewhere in the surrounding area to complete the image. To view the hologram, use your Focus. When it lines up with the correct spot, you'll solve the Vista Point, and be able to view it whenever you like.
