Ancient Armory - How to get the ancient Shield Weave armour in Horizon Zero Dawn

To get your hands on the Shield Weave armour itself, you'll need to collect all five of the Power Cells, head to the bunker where it's hidden, and solve the two puzzles.

The location of the bunker will be marked on your map when you find and pick up your first Power Cell. At that moment, a quest will activate - called Ancient Armory - and you can then at least acess the underground cave, which is really an ancient ruin, that houses the armour itself.

Inside, you'll be faced with two of the disc-spinning door puzzles that are typically found in these ancient ruins during the main questline. Both of these require Power Cells to actually activate, the first two Cells, the second three.

• The first puzzle, once power is restored, is solved by turning the discs to point in the direction indicated by the pink box nearby, which is shown in times of day. From left to right, they go: Up, Right, Down, Left, Up.
• The second puzzle, once restored, is solved by turning the discs to face the direction indicated by the pink box that uses degrees to communicate the directions. From left to right, they go: Right, Left, Up, Right, Left.

With that done, the armour is free for the taking! Head back into the central room where the door will now be open to the Shield-Weave armor. Pick it up, and then open the box that's in your inventory and equip it to reap the benefits.

Finally, there are a couple of things to note about the armour and how it works. With it equipped, you'll be totally invincible, up to a point. Once you've taken a certain amount of potential damage, the armour will begin to flash red. At that point you'll take damage as normal, but you simply need to avoid combat for a few seconds, and it will recharge, turning to that lovely white glow again to indicate your invulnerability.
