How to unlock the Aided the defectors achievement in Horizon Zero Dawn - Definitive Guide

***** Side Quest *****

- "Traitors Bounty" and "Queens Gambit" completed

- As you follow the main story progression you will get to the Sunfall Settlement, you will then come across a character named Vanasha who will give you the quest "Traitors Bounty". Once you complete that you will automatically start "Queens Gambit". Once that quest is completed you will get the Trophy.

- The only real challenge you will have is at the end of "Queens Gambit" when you fight a Corrupted Thunderjaw and even so it's not very hard. If you are having trouble you can change to an easier difficulty.

- If you shoot off Corrupted Thunderhaw's guns and use them against him he will go down very quick. (Thank you KingfiShiZ)

Is the Corrupted Thunderjaw really a Challange? Shot down his Guns, use the Guns - fight over in one minute.

Good solution, and I have to agree. We have to be VERY careful when we say something is either easy or hard as a blanket statement. All gamers are different, and have different skill levels. What may be "easy" for one person may he "hard" for someone else. You can say "it makes it easIER" if you take off the guns, which should be true for just about everyone. It also depends on what level the gamer is when they do it, whether or not they've fought a Thunderjaw before, and what weapons/mods they have available, etc.

I'm playing on very hard difficulty so it is sorta hard. Depending on the player I think it may be difficult but what I meant is that's the hardest part of the quest and not even that hard. I'll edit it thanks!

Side Quests: "Traitor's Bounty" and “Queen’s Gambit”

Note: You cannot enter the Sunfall without first buying the "Shadow Stalwart Light Outfit". This item is actually given to you free by playing through the story's Main Quests, but if you sold it you can always buy a new one. This is required for "Traitor's Bounty", so purchase this Outfit from the Meridian Merchant or if you already own it equip it. The Shadow Stalwart Light can be traded for the following:

  • X 55 Metal Shards
  • X 4 Chillwaters

If you need help in finding the Sunfall location, it's circled below:


For this trophy to unlock you will need to complete both these Side Quests: “Traitor’s Bounty” and “Queen’s Gambit”. Traitor’s Bounty is unlocked automatically by playing through the story's Main Quests. Completing this Side Quest will give you the Queen’s Gambit Side Quest automatically. Upon completing the Queen’s Gambit Side Quest, the trophy will unlock. Additionally, it should be noted that you need these Side Quests in order to unlock the All allies joined trophy.

Below are the details for both Side Quests (remember to have "Shadow Stalwart Light Outfit" equipped before starting this):
