There are 5 Tallnecks marked on the Map with . You must climb and override all of them. Tallnecks are biggest machines in the game and look similar to Brachiosaurus dinosaurs or a giraffe-like machine. These machines are not hostile and always walk in circles around a predefined area (repeating the same circular path). You can use your Focus Scanning abilities to highlight this path.
For the trophy, you will need to override them by climbing up to their heads. Overriding Tallneck machines will reveal details on the World Map and discover Machine Sites locations. In order to climb Tallnecks, look for either a tall building, ramp, rocks or mountain in the area. When you find one of these places, Aloy will usually say a comment that she can get onto the Tallneck from here. You can then use the Jump [] grab a hold onto their neck. Then you must climb up to reach their head. Once on their head hold to override them. This clears the fog from the respective Map area so that you can see all map icons clearly.
After doing the first few story missions you will reach the area with the first Tallneck. After that you can get the remaining four at anytime you want. Some of them are in areas with high level enemies, so be careful. Either rush past those enemies or wait until you are level 20 or higher. Once you overriden all 5 Tallnecks, the trophy will unlock.
