Let’s step into The Long Coast and complete one of the trickier puzzles in Horizon Forbidden West. This Relic Ruin will test your patience, but we’re here to ease the burden.
Head into the ruins and up the stairs. Grab the energy cell from up top and carry it down to the empty slot below before it loses charge. You have to be quick, but there’s ample time if you don’t dawdle.
Head into the elevator and use your Pullcaster to tear off the grate inside, opening up a hole in the top. You’ll need this later.
Next, head outside and hook onto the nearby anchor point to the right of the elevator. Head to the edge and climb your way up the outside of the shaft.
Once up top, you can jump and glide into the next section of the ruin, where you’ll find a crate.
Ignite the Firegleam behind you and push the crate back to the elevator. Send the elevator up, pull the crate out, then send the elevator back down. From here you can push the crate onto the top of the elevator. But you still need another crate.
Head back to the other section of the ruin again, where you found the crate. At the far side of the room, you’ll find a switch that controls what used to be stage lighting. Ignore that for now.
Climb up the nearby walkway in the left corner of the room and clamber along the handholds up there. You’ll drop down next to ta Firegleam wall. Blow it up. Now, from the other side of the wall, use your Pullcaster to pull the switch from a distance, through the gap in the wall.
Immediately hook onto the stage lighting that appears above, then back eject onto the walkway nearby. Here’s another crate.
Push the crate to the elevator, using your Pullcaster to pull it out when it drops in the water, and place it so you can climb on top and up through the hole you made earlier.
With the elevator on the top floor, you should now be free to climb the inside of the shaft to get the ornament from The Long Coast Relic Ruin.
