These images, along with the Vista Towers, are scattered throughout the different regions from The Daunt to the Isle of Spire.
This guide will show you where to find the Vista Towers, where to find the Vista Points and the rewards you receive after finding all nine Vista Points.

Vista Point locations:
The goal is to take this image and match it to an environmental location around you. Once you find the matching location, the Vista Point image becomes clear and you can see what that area used to be like long ago.
There are nine Vista Points scattered across the Forbidden West and every one has a 1500 XP rewards. A final reward will also be unlocked once you’ve found all of them.
Aloy has returned in Horizon: Forbidden West! To help you get started in her new quest, visit our pages on how levelling and skill points work, along with how to upgrade your inventory pouches. We’ve also looked at how to climb the Tallneck in Cinnabar Sands, cauldron locations and the door code for Death’s Door mission.
The Vista Point location is north of the Vista Point Tower. Look for a crumbling bridge, stand on its edge, and look towards the mountains. From there, the image will click and you will see a vivid image of houses along the river.
You can find the Vista Point in the mountains west of the Vista Tower. From the Tower, go up the mountain and climb up the cliff. There will be two rusted platforms that overlook Plainsong.
Look for three windmills; two of them will be intact and one will be broken. The Vista Point will be on the rusted platform in between an intact windmill and the broken windmill. Watch out for the Sunwings that are there.
The Vista Point will be up in the mountain along the river. From the Vista Tower, look east towards the large mountain range. You will see a busted radar dish if you look along the mountains.
Climb up the mountain to that dish and you will find a concrete platform overlooking the valley;. tTurn towards the radar and the Vista Point will be complete.
The Vista Point is located west of the tower in the Sunwing site. There will be two rusted platforms overlooking Scalding Spear. Look for the one that has a broken tree trunk leading up to it, but beware of the Sunwings. You will have to fight them in order to gain access to the Vista Point.
The Vista Point can be found due north of the Tower. Go north and climb the short cliff. There will be a concrete platform with a broken rail overlooking Hidden Ember. You will find a small Oseram camp in the area along with some Burrowers.
The Vista Point will be north of the Tower. There will be a crumbled bridge with a small lookout. Look towards the Eiffel Tower and you will capture the image there.
The Vista Point will be on a small island off the coast to the west of the Tower. Go along the beach and you will see a small mountainous island. There will be machines that you might need to fight or you can sneak past them. Climb up the mountain and face the Faro building ruins to the north.
For the Vista Point, you will need to swim underwater. The image will be a domed building with the Golden Gate bridge behind it. From the Tower, go into the water and dive down. The domed building will be easily spotted. Swim around the ocean floor until you see a yellow handhold (for boosting you underwater). This will be the location of the Vista Point.
To get this Vista Point, you will need to climb the tall structure next to the tower. If you have a Sunwing mount, you can fly up to the very top and have it perch.
From there, you will need to keep climbing. There will be a tall radio tower to the right of the perch. Climb that up to a metal platform and walk out onto the yellow beam, then look towards the city.
The coordinates will take you to a location along the coast on the western side of the Isle of Spires. In the ruins, you’ll find the reward in an Ancient Safe. Along with the reward will be an “Our Thanks” audio message from Elisabet Soebeck thanking you for taking part in the tour.
The reward you receive will be random, but it will be a combination of Silver Ingots, Bronze Ingots, Ancient Chimes, Ancient Necklaces, Ancient Metal Eyes, and Ancient Sculptures. You will also receive an additional 1500 XP.
Good luck finding all of the Vista Points in Horizon: Forbidden West!
