Horizon Zero Dawn - Guide to where to find all the Ancient Vessels and all the Metal Flowers

In Horizon Zero Dawn, the open world with a post-apocalyptic background developed by Guerrilla Games, there are different types of collectibles. In this guide we will explain two of them, exactly i Ancient vessels and Metal Flowers.

Where are the Ancient Vessels

These containers are nothing more than coffee cups, and to have the whole collection you will need to find 12. When you find them all you will receive a reward at the Meridiana merchant, who will give you 1500 Metal Shards in exchange. Finding all vessels in Horizon Zero Dawn is also required to unlock the “All Ancient Vessels Found” Trophy.

The map will show you all the positions, moreover the Ancient Containers are easily identifiable because they are placed on small piles of material. They can also be easily located with the Concentration skill, in fact a purple indicator will be visible above them.

• Arches: dive into the water and cross the river under some ruins. You will see the first cup on the shore above some protruding rotten beams.
• Wayfares: follow the path for a few meters to find it immediately on the left.
• Dronehop: in front of you you will see a large structure with tree branches. Below it is the cup.
• KZ: go slightly right under a dilapidated structure that forms an arch.
• USRC: here too there are large abandoned structures and you have to look at the foot of the largest.
