A Cauldron is an underground facility where machines are built. By overriding these, Aloy unlocks the ability to control new machines. In Horizon Zero Dawn there are five major Cauldron activities.
Background
Project Zero Dawn envisioned a series of underground facilities to rebuild a lifeless Earth. These facilities would be controlled by GAIA while the subfunction HEPHAESTUS would oversee construction of Cauldrons where specialized robots would be designed and constructed for use in terraforming.
Cauldrons
There are five cauldrons in the world of Horizon Zero Dawn, four of which are accessible.
- Cauldron PSI: Corruptor boss fight to unlock PSI overrides
- Cauldron SIGMA : Basic puzzles and Fire Bellowback boss fight
- Cauldron RHO : Moderate puzzles and Snapmaw and Ravager boss fight
- Cauldron XI : Eclipse tribe camp and several robots and cultists as boss fight
- Cauldron ZETA : No puzzles and Thunderjaw boss fight
