In order to get the Shield-Weaver outfit in Horizon Zero Dawn, you'll need to locate five Power Cells around the game world which can then be taken to the Ancient Armory in order to solve a couple of door puzzles. Do keep in mind that you may need to have progressed to a certain point in the story (denoted below) to reach the required locations, but you can always return to these areas if you've already beaten the game.

Power Cell Location #1

Location
All-Mother
Quest
The Womb of the Mountain

When you wake up in the mountain, there's a room immediately to the right on the first floor. On the left-hand side of this room is a little cavity that you can crawl through. Press square to crouch down and follow the tunnel. You'll emerge in a room with a Power Cell.

If you missed this one, you'll need to wait until after you've completed the 'Heart of the Nora' quest in order to return.

Power Cell Location #2

Location
Maker's End
Quest
Maker's End

Climb to the very top of the tower where the big office is. Directly behind you are some yellow peg holes which can be climbed. Reach the highest point of the tower, where you'll find a Power Cell.

Power Cell Location #3

Location
The Grave Hoard
Quest
The Grave Hoard

On the third floor, you'll need to complete a simple ring puzzle to open a locked door. You should stumble upon the Power Cell on the other side of the door.

Power Cell Location #4

Location
GAIA Prime
Quest
The Mountain That Fell

On the third floor of GAIA Prime, you'll reach a point where you need to rappel down. Don't. Instead look to the left and you'll see some rocks that you can jump down onto. Follow the path until you see a purple area hidden away in the wall. Head into the room and you'll find the Power Cell perched on a cabinet.

Power Cell Location #5

Location
Ruins
Quest
N/A

Return to the Ruins (marked on the map as a green bunker) that Aloy fell into as a child. You should happen upon a couple of doors that can be pried open. On the first floor you'll notice an area that's blocked off with a Power Cell on the other side. Smash the pointed rocks with your spear to get inside the room, and pick up your prize.
