How to unlock the Got the Shield-Weaver outfit achievement in Horizon Zero Dawn - Definitive Guide


The secret Shield-Weaver Armor is by far the best armor in Horizon Zero Dawn. The Shield-Weaver Armor protects you completely from a certain amount of damage until it flashes red. After taking cover, the armor recharges and you are invincible again.

Before you can pick up the Shield-Weaver armor you have to collect 5 power cells.

1 LOCATION: Ruins 00:03
Can be accessed anytime

2 LOCATION: All Mother 01:28
Can be accessed during "The Womb of the Mountain" or after "The Heart of the Nora"

3 LOCATION: Maker's End 02:18
Reached Main Quest "Maker's End"

4 LOCATION: The Grave-Hoard 03:36
Reached Main Quest "The Grave-Hoard"

5 LOCATION: Gaia Prime 05:26
Reached Main Quest "The Mountain that fell"

06:03 Check your side-quests and select "Ancient Armory", which leads you to the Ancient Armory Bunker where the Shield-Weaver armor is hidden.

I KNOW I've gotten 4 of these. I remember them in my mind. Yet it says I only have 3.

I had all five power cells once I grabbed the one in Maker's End. That one and the one in All Mother can't be grabbed outside of their story missions. The other two can be grabbed earlier than normally required.

Just thought I'd put that out there.

I missed the one at the top of Maker’s End, can you get back up to it after you finish the mission?

It may say that you have less power cells in your inventory if you've already taken some to the armoury. Once you collect the fifth, Aloy will say that should be all of the power cells.

You can go back to all locations, including the top of maker's end.

What is the minimum quests you need to do to make it to the final powercell and still be able to get all other trophies? I've seen there's a "first point of no return" (in addition to a 2nd, final point of no return)? What does that mean? Will it cancel out any unfinished side quests, errands, etc.? The point of why I'm asking is I'd like to actually get some good use out of this armor, so I'd like to get it as soon as I can without screwing myself on anything. As someone who almost always does all available side content before progressing the story in games like this, it frustrates me when devs place awesome equipment like this so close to the final missions of the game.

1. Ruins where you fell in as a child. Break some stone spikes with your spear to get to it. Can be accessed anytime as an adult.

2. All Mother. Can be accessed during "The Womb of the Mountain" quest or during "The Heart of the Nora" quest in one of the side rooms and you have to crouch to get to it. If you miss it during the quest near the beginning, and you get to the point where the gates are locked, you will need to get most of the way to the end for the next quest to open up.

3. Maker's End. During Main Quest "Maker's End" when you get up as high as you are going to go, look for some climbing handles to get even higher.

4. The Grave-Hoard. During Main Quest "The Grave-Hoard" you will see this as you explore, it's hard to miss.

5. Gaia Prime. During Main Quest "The Mountain That Fell" you will come to a point where you are outside and have just rappelled down. Look around to the left for a wall you can climb and it will be up there.

The location you need to go to is on the right side of the map, your quest guide should lead you there. Getting the outfit itself requires two puzzles to be solved. The first is a military time puzzle.
That opens the door to where the armor is stored and another puzzle awaits in the back of that room, this one deals with degrees in a circle.

To unlock the outfit, you must first find 5 power cells. 4 of the power cells are located in mission areas, which can not be reached, except during/after the mission. The power cells are used to power up locks; solutions for the lock combinations are shown in the video. The outfit allows you to take a couple hits without taking any damage and then it needs to recharge out of combat to be used again.
Power Cell 1: (Main Quest) Womb of the Mountain - 0:35
Power Cell 2: (Main Quest) Maker's End - 1:42
Power Cell 3: (Main Quest) The Grave Hoard - 2:46
Power Cell 4: (Main Quest) The Mountain That Fell - 4:52
Power Cell 5: (Free Roam) Ruins - 5:45

O traje, assim como as baterias, faz parte de uma missão chamada “Arsenal Antigo”. O gatilho para essa missão é coletar uma das cinco baterias espalhadas pelo mapa ou acessar o local onde as peças para confeccionar o traje estão trancadas.

(Collectible)

Side Quest: "Ancient Armory"

For this, you must find 5 Power Cells and bring them to the Ancient Armory to get the Shield-Weaver Outfit. The Power Cells are found in the story's Main Quests areas, but you can go back and get them later. The Main Quests areas are locked until you reach a certain point in the story ("The Looming Shadow"). You can still free roam after beating the story and collect everything after the game ending because you'll be respawned back to the start of the last Main Quest: "The Looming Shadow".

To save some time it would be best if you pick them up during the Main Quests. If you die after picking one of them up you must pick it up again; they are not saved instantly (must reach next checkpoint). The Power Cells have a Green icon floating over them which makes them easier to spot. If you get them during the story just follow the Main Quest markers and you’ll get to the areas.

If you get them in free roam, hover over the area on the World Map and press to see the different layers. Put a marker by pressing at the same location as the video shows. Now in Game Settings (press ) turn on “Waypoint Pathfinding”. This makes it so you get a new waypoint every few meters to guide you through buildings. This is especially useful for the second Power Cell on the 12th floor of Maker’s End.

The video below shows all Power Cells Locations and how to get the Shield-Weaver outfit:

 

#1 – Area: All Mother (Main Quest: The Womb of the Mountain) – 0:05
It’s in a side room on the right side after waking up in the mountain (1st floor). Crouch through the hole in the wall to reach it. If you miss it this area gets locked until beating main quest “The Heart of the Nora” which is at the end of the story.

#2 – Area: Maker’s End (Main Quest: Maker’s End) – 0:52
At the very top of the tower (12th floor).

#3 – Area: The Grave-Hoard (Main Quest: The Grave Hoard) – 1:52
3rd floor, after solving the ring puzzle to open the locked door. It’s behind the locked door, you’ll walk right into it. You have to open this door and do the puzzle as part of the story, very easy to locate this one.

#4 – Area: GAIA Prime (Main Quest: The Mountain That Fell) – 3:42
3rd floor, after you go through the first part of the building you’ll come outside and have to rappel down. BEFORE you rappel down, jump down to the left on the rocks and it’s in the hidden purple area.

#5 – Area: Ruins (Free Roam) – 4:23
These are the ruins from the prologue of the game, where young Aloy fell down. Now that she’s grown up, one of the doors can be pried open with the spear. When looking at the map it’s on the 1st floor in the purple area at the bottom right corner.

Unlocking the Outfit in Ancient Armory:

After finding all 5 Power Cells, head to the Ancient Armory. It’s marked as a Side Quest. Insert the 5 Power Cells, solve the clock puzzle and take the outfit. In your inventory open the Shield-Weaver Outfit Treasure Box and equip it. This unlocks the trophy.

This outfit is extremely powerful and renders you completely invincible until it starts flashing red. It absorbs every type of damage, even falling damage. When it turns red go into cover for a few seconds to make it recharge. You can take quite a lot of damage before it gets red, which makes the game so much easier.
