Horizon Zero Dawn

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):
