Vegas, Baby, But Not the Kind You'd Expect: A Guide to Horizon Forbidden West's Subterranean Sin City
So you've braved the scorching desert sands, Aloy! You've fended off rogue machines and marveled at the faded glory of what was once Las Vegas. But there's more to this neon graveyard than meets the eye (or your trusty Focus). The real action, as they say, happens underground. Here's your not-so-slick guide to navigating the hidden depths of a flooded Vegas:
Finding the Entrance: More Tomb Raider Than Showgirl
Forget flashing lights and slot machines. You won't be waltzing into the Bellagio here. Instead, you'll be channeling your inner Indiana Jones, searching for a crumbly old temple structure marked by a friendly (?) question mark on your map. This forgotten wonder is located in the western part of the designated search area. Don't get lost chasing mirages!
Tip: Reread sections you didn’t fully grasp.
Welcome to the Tower of Tears: Not Exactly a Five-Star Resort
Once inside that dusty temple (prepare for cobwebs, maybe a rogue Stalker), a cutscene will usher you into the aptly named "Tower of Tears." Think less luxurious casino and more flooded, echoing halls. But hey, at least there's a handy campfire to roast some marshmallows (machine parts not recommended). Bonus points if you find a stash of pre-war poker chips (sadly, useless for actual gambling).
Tip: Don’t skip — flow matters.
Befriending Scavengers: Because Who Needs Friends When You Have Loot?
Inside the Tower of Tears, you'll encounter a ragtag group of scavengers who, like you, are itching to explore the submerged city. These folks might not be the most trustworthy bunch, but hey, desperate times and all that. Team up with them for a quest that will eventually lead you to the real treasure – Poseidon, the rogue AI you're after.
QuickTip: Read with curiosity — ask ‘why’ often.

So You Think You Can Swim? (Spoiler Alert: You Probably Can)
Las Vegas may be a desert now, but the developers had a different vision. Get ready for some serious underwater exploration. Just remember, this ain't no pool party. Machines and other nasties lurk in the murky depths, so keep your trusty spear handy.
Tip: Take notes for easier recall later.
