A sequel to 2017's Horizon Zero Dawn, it is a single-player open world game set in a post-apocalyptic version of the western United States. The player must travel and complete missions using survival skills, melee attacks, and long-distance weapons in a world overrun by a deadly plague, hostile machine creatures, and other survivors. There are loads of main and side quests to complete in Horizon Forbidden West, most of which are quite tricky to figure out alone. The Deep Trouble is one of the first quests players will encounter after travelling to The Daunt, and fortunately, it's relatively straightforward to complete. For information, let us tell you that This side quest comes after completing The Point of the Lance main quest and tasks players with saving two miners trapped inside the Crimson Narrows, a mine over the mountains to the northeast of Chainscrape.
This article explains all the steps you need to follow to complete the Deep Trouble Side quest in Horizon Forbidden West. So, without wasting time, let's get started..
Horizon Forbidden West - Deep Trouble Side Quest Guide
As you approach the mine entrance, Aloy talks to foreman Korvend and his companion Valgend. Korvend explains that there was an explosion inside the mines, which submerged the whole place.
Korvend further explains that two of his miners are still trapped in the mine and he needs Aloy's help to get them out. We'll walk you through all the steps you need to do from here.
Find the missing Miners
Now the first thing you have to do is run into the mine and go left in the mine. Continue down the flooded path until you reach the rubble blocking your path. Dive to the bottom of the standoff and swim back to the surface. Now you will be inside a big cave.
Next, you'll see a cache and two more mines on top of a large rock. Ignore the cache (you can collect these later) and proceed in the direction of either of the two mines. Then, dive under the water, making your way to the end of the tunnel.
Tip: You can push off certain objects underwater to boost your swimming speed.
Eventually, upon resurfacing, you'll reach the two miners, Thorden and Lokuf. Talk to the miners to activate a cutscene. Aloy will then be briefed on her next objective.
Find the blockage
You will then be tasked to find whatever is blocking the drainage shaft and use explosives to destroy it. After talking to Thorden, turn immediately left and dive under the flooded mineshaft.
You'll notice there is debris blocking the shaft, and Aloy will hint at using explosives in the minecart to clear the blockage. Make your way to the mine cart by jumping across the four beams.
You'll find yourself at another impasse. Crouch and make your way through the tunnel until you get to an opening in the cave. You'll then have to either take out or evade detection of three Burrowers.
Now according to your decision, you have to navigate to the end of the cave and go to the left. Then make your way up the platform until you see the minecart track. Follow the tracks to the end of the trail. Drop the ladder and then use your pullcaster to pull the wooden crane toward you.
Now you have to jump on the crane and make your way to the other side. You will then activate the following objective: Detonation of explosives. To do this, run towards a minecart full of explosives and press Triangle. Water will begin to flow, and you will have activated the next objective of returning to the miners.
Return to the miners and leave the cave
Before this you will need to remove the screwdrivers after clearing the blockage. After killing them, head left and clears the two crates using his pullcaster to block the route back to Thordon and Lokf. After returning the trapped miners, Alloy must return to Korvend to clear the find.
Tip: There are plenty of caches inside the cave. With the water gone, you can go back and open them a lot easier before completing the quest.
