To stop the weapon,you’ll need to bring it lower to be able to attack it.

You should then seea large purple pipe leading from the weapon itself into the Tower to your right.

You should see some climbing holds going up the wall, leading to a slightly raised area.

Climb up here and you will see a Node.

Walk up to the Nodeitself andinteract with it to override it.

This will lower the weapon itself, but it will begin to fire at you.

We also have guides that show youall aerial capture locations, plus aCauldron THETAandMurmuring Hollow walkthroughtoo.

Instead, you gotta find a way to climb higher to get a clear shot of the Core.

To do this,face the machinefrom where you initially climbed up to the top with Seyka.

Then,look to your left.

You shouldsee an openingleading into more of the ruins.

Head through here and thenfollow the path through this areauntil you’re free to’t get any further.

At the end of this path, look right again and you shouldsee some Unstable Firegleam.

Ignite the Unstable Firegleamhowever you see fit and head through the new opening once it explodes.

Jump and grapple to pull yourself up to the next area.

The weapon will then start to act erratic and fire out all around it.

It’s lower than the previous one and can easily be shot from below.

The weapon will be firing more frequently than before, but you might anticipate its attacks still.

However, you should still wait for Seyka to distract it before making your move.

We recommend using Tearblast arrows to speed the process along.

Thelast Power Core is on the very top of the weaponand it’s a bit of a trickier shot.

We recommend using a Tearblast Arrow from a Sharpshot Bow to destroy this one.

We also recommend entering Concentration mode while aiming at the Power Core to get a precise shot on it.
