Main Quest Walkthrough – The Point of the Spear
Objective #1 – Find Rost
This objective is easy to accomplish, just go down the path and follow the quest marker. Talk to Rost by the bridge. After a brief conversation with Rost, there will now be two objectives: Talk to Karst and Trade for Tripcaster and Craft Fire Arrows.
Objective #2 – Craft Fire Arrows
After talking to Rost, use the zip line next to him to go down the next area. In this area, you will find several Scrappers, Watchers, and Striders that you need to defeat and farm in order to make Fire Arrows. Go down the path after the zip line and you will come across an unlit Campfire. Save your progress here and you will also be able to Fast Travel in this area. After using the Campfire, go down the path to the north then follow the quest markers. Once you’ve reached the first quest marker, there will be several Scrappers in the area, hide from them first then collect the Ridge-Wood in the area.
After gathering Ridge-Wood, confront the Watchers in the area, they are quite agile so try to engage them one by one. You may also equip the Prowler skills Silent Strike that you can use to take down a nearby enemy when you’re in hiding and Hunter Reflexes so that you can slow down time while aiming whenever you are jumping or sliding. After defeating the Watchers, loot them for Metal Shards. If you want to know more about Aloy’s skills, click here.
There will also be some Scrappers in the area, so defeat those enemies until you gather 5 Metal Shards. You would also need some Scrapper Lens later when you talk to Karst. After that, head over to an area where several Striders gather. Use your Call skill in order to lure a Strider to your hiding spot, then use Silent Strike. Repeat this process until you gather 5 Blazes.
Objective #3 – Talk to Karst and Trade for Tripcaster
After gathering parts to craft Fire Arrows, head to the next quest marker to talk to Karst. Approach Karst once you’ve reached the quest marker. Keep choosing the upper left or lower left choices in order for him to reveal more about the happenings in the area. He will immediately trade for the Tripcaster if you have some Scrapper Lens.
Objective #4 – Meet Rost at the North Gate
This objective is also simple to accomplish, just follow the quest marker until you reach the North Gate. You can also take your time to loot for Metal Shards and Machine Parts before heading towards the quest marker. After a conversation with Rost, you will now move to the next objective.
Objective #5 – Rest at the Campfire
Another simple objective to accomplish, since Rost wanted you and him to travel at night, you are given time to rest. Rest at the nearby Campfire to save your progress.
Objective #6 – Follow the Path of Destruction
Continue walking your way towards the quest marker until you are interrupted by a brief cutscene. There will be some Watchers around the area, so be careful if you get spotted by them. You may also loot these Watchers for Machine Parts.
Objective #7 – Kill the Sawtooth
Main Article: Sawtooth Strategy Guide
The Sawtooth acts as a boss battle in this mission. The Sawtooth is very difficult to defeat if you don’t have the proper skill set or if you don’t know its weaknesses. Hit its weakness which is its abdomen for it to move slower. Also, use Hunter Reflexes to aim better at its abdomen while you are jumping. Dodge its attacks or run away from it after you dealt it with several arrow shots. Keep your distance against this enemy as it is primarily a close-range fighter.
