Main Missions, Sidequests & Other Activities – Horizon Forbidden West

The release of Horizon Forbidden West has let gamers crawl back into the Horizon series, which started five years ago. After stepping into the character of Aloy, you’ll set out on an even more exciting journey than the previous installments. According to the latest reviews, Forbidden West offers an intriguing narrative and potent gameplay options.  

However, players might wonder how much of the story they have left to finish while going through their adventures. If you’re one of those, no need to worry. 

In Horizon Forbidden West, there’re a total of 17 main story missions, and each of them demands a particular level requirement. You don’t have to be at the level every mission requires, but you may face a considerably laborious challenge if you decide to take them under-leveled.  

In this guide, you’ll receive a list of all main story missions and sidequests accessible in Horizon Forbidden West.
