How Do You Mount a Waterwing? A Comprehensive Guide

In Horizon Forbidden West, the latest installment in the Horizon series, players can now ride and control a new flying mount called the Waterwing. This exciting addition offers a fresh perspective on exploration and combat, allowing Aloy to soar through the skies and dive into the depths of the ocean. But before you can start riding the Waterwing, you need to know how to mount it. In this article, we will provide a step-by-step guide on how to mount a Waterwing in Horizon Forbidden West.

Step 1: Craft the Waterwing Override

The first step in mounting a Waterwing is to craft the Waterwing Override. This requires retrieving key components from destroyed machines, which can be found in the open world. You will need to have a workbench nearby to craft the override. Once you have all the necessary components, head to the workbench and craft the Waterwing Override.

Step 2: Find a Waterwing Nest

After crafting the Waterwing Override, you need to find a Waterwing nest. Waterwing nests can be found in various locations throughout the open world, including near settlements and in remote areas. When you approach a nest, you will see a Waterwing hovering above, and you will be able to dismount and approach it.

Step 3: Dismount and Approach the Waterwing

To mount the Waterwing, you need to dismount from your current mount and approach the Waterwing nest. Make sure you have the Waterwing Override equipped, and then use the square button to interact with the Waterwing.

Step 4: Interact with the Waterwing

When you interact with the Waterwing, Aloy will approach the machine and begin to mount it. You will see a sequence of animations showing Aloy climbing onto the Waterwing, and then you will be able to control the machine.
