Even if the ability to override a specific species is unlocked, Aloy will not be able to override the corrupted version. Completing cauldrons, underground machine manufacturing facilities will allow Aloy to override more types of machines. Using this module, Aloy can override machines to make them an ally for a short period of time or permanently depending on her skill upgrades. When Aloy defeats the first corruptor in the game, she will scavenge an override module that she can attach to the base of the spear. When Aloy rescues Arana, her father, Thok, will upgrade Aloy’s spear when she comments on his late wife’s crafting performance on Arana’s spear.
These upgrades can increase the spear’s damage potential, or give it special abilities.Ĭompleting the quest In Her Mother’s Footsteps will reward Aloy with a boost to the spear’s damage, turning it into a “Rare” weapon. There are three spear upgrades that can be achieved in Horizon: Zero Dawn and its DLC’s: Damage Upgrade, Overriding Mods, and Coil Modifications.
