Grave-Hoard Early

General

Grave-Hoard Early is an oversight in Horizon Zero Dawn allowing the player to enter the Grave-Hoard before they are supposed to. It was discovered somewhere in early 2017 by Stino 57. It uses a hole in the ice above the Grave-Hoard just large enough for Aloy to precisely squeeze through. The method used has since changed from Stino's original video, as the original method was since patched, but still uses the same principle.

How to Perform

The hole you need to drop through

Trivia

• Entering the Deathbringer room while using this glitch will result in a softlock, as you will no longer be able to fast travel out.
• It was for a while theorized that using the Outcast outfit would make it easier to drop through the hole, but this is likely not true.
• Grave-Hoard Early is only used in the Shieldweaver% category extension.
