Unlock the Armor

Return to the lab and use the power cells to complete the circuit, then unlock the clamps by setting the dials. The cypher for these are the angles of rotations (90 degrees is right, 180 degrees is down, and so on, in 90 degree increments. For numbers bigger than 360, simply subtract 360 to make it easy to figure out).

So the dials should be turned: right, left, top, right, left. This will allow Aloy to collect the armor - open the Outfit Box in your inventory to unlock and equip the Shield Weaver outfit.

This armor can’t fit any modifications, but more than makes up for it by letting Aloy soak up a HUGE amount of damage before taking any of her own. Keep an eye out for the armor flashing red and making a high-pitch ringing sound, which indicates that your defensive shield is almost out of power.

This armor proves invaluable going into the endgame, so be sure you’ve collected them all before reaching the final few missions.

First Ancient Vessel found

Found an ancient vessel once used by the Old Ones.

Found all the Ancient Vessels.

Got the Shield-Weaver Outfit

The Shield-Weaver Outfit is a powerful piece of armor that you can obtain late in the game. It can be found in The Bunker, some ruins similar to the one you fell into as a kid, north of the Main Embrace Gate. However, the outfit is locked behind a door that requires you to solve two puzzles, both of which require Power Cells. These are hidden throughout the game, usually in some place you explore while doing main story missions. They are not missable, as if you forget to get them the first time around, you will be able to go back later in the game to retrieve the power cells. The location of the power cells are as follows:

• Ruins - On a desk behind some stalagmites/stalactities you can break (can’t get here as a child)
• Found during The Womb of the Mountain. It’s in a room that is accessible by crouching through a vent.
• Found during Maker’s End. Once you reach the top of the place and do the story bit there, the one door will open. Instead of taking that door, you can use the footholds behind it to reach the very top, where the Power Cell is located.
• Found in the Grave-Hoard ruins. After solving the puzzles to open the ancient door, go through it and look for a side room that you can open, which has the Power Cell.
• Found in GAIA Prime during The Mountain That Fell. After you view a hologram with some scientists, you need to go forward with a zipline. Instead, look for a path that you can climb down, leading to a room with the Power Cell.
  Upon retrieving all five Power Cells, head on over to The Bunker to find two sets of locks preventing you from getting the armor. Both sets of puzzles can be solved by using your Focus, but the answers are following this. The first answer is Up, Right, Down, Left and Up (from left to right). For the second one, you want to put them in the following order: Right, Left, Up, Right and Left (again, left to right). Grab the armor after you’re done to finish up.
