This guide will show you how to solve the Dry Yearn Relic Ruins puzzle and how to get the very rare Dry Yearn Ornament.
What Are Relic Ruins and Ornaments
Relic Ruins in Horizon Forbidden West are optional activities that take you to what’s left of Old World buildings. You must solve puzzles to reach a specific spot in order to obtain an Ornament, one of the game’s collectible items.
There’s a total of ten Ornaments, each Ornament represents a holiday. They can be given to Stemmur in Hidden Ember. He will then project holographic lights on the sky depending on which Ornament you give him.
Relic Ruins: Dry Yearn Walkthrough
These ruins are located East of Scalding Spear and West of your base. You can only access the ruins from the East Side.
The time required to complete this puzzle is only a few minutes, five tops. But to be able to complete it, you need to progress enough through the main story to unlock the two tools you will use while solving the puzzle.
Tools
- Igniter, unlocked after the main mission "Death’s Door"
- Vine Cutter, unlocked after the main mission "Seeds of the Past"
Instructions
- Reach the marked location on the map image below.
- The first things that you'll see are a metal flower and a wall filled with vines. Hit the metal flower and then use the vine cutter to unblock the wall.
- There's a crate behind it. You must move it to the end of the hall.
- Jump on top of the crate and then to the platform. Open the valve, and don't forget to grab the Ancient Supply Box. The big blast door will open
- Run to the end of the rails where you'll find a metal clamp. Get the Ancient Supply Box that's on the right side. Use your Pullcaster, as you might imagine, there's a cart behind it.
- Pull the cart and line it up with the crate that's on the small alcove.
- Get on top of the cart and use your Pullcaster on the three columns.
- Jump to the other side and then get to the platform. This is where you will find the key to open the locked doors.
- Jump on top of the cart and get to the key module. Unlike with other relic puzzles, you do not need any additional password to open the doors.
- There's a vent inside, use the Pullcaster to open it up. There's little visibility inside the vent but don't worry, you just turn right, fall to the lower level, and then walk to the exit.
- You will see a wall with Firegleam. Grab the Ancient Supply Box and then use the Igniter on the Firegleam to blow the wall. Make sure to take cover before it explodes.
- After breaking the wall you will end up on the valve. Use it to open the blast door again, this time you will move the cart under the door to prevent it from closing.
- Get on top of the cart. Use the climbing nodes of the door to get to the top left side of this area.
- There's one final metal clamp. Use the Pullcaster to grab it and break the wall.
- The room on the other side is empty, get to the edge on the right side and climb down.
- The Dry Yearn Ornament is right there on the lower platform. Pick it up!
- Last but not least, open the valve once again. Grab the cart to the first zone of the ruins. Jump on top of it to get to the Greenshine Sliver and the Ancient Supply Box that's next to it.
