This chapter contains a complete walkthrough for the quest Redmaw. Here you will find advice that will help you complete this quest in the best way possible.

Beginning the quest

The quest will appear in the journal after you speak with Ligan during the Deadliest Game quest. Go to the place marked on the map and you will find Tanalah and stop Ahsis.

Find Tanalah

Once you arrive, you will find out that Tanalah was ambushed. There will be more than a dozen of enemies in the area. You can't eliminate them undetected. Most of all, avoid close combat and aim at their head. Tanalah is dealing very low damage, so you will have to win the fight on your own.

Once the bandits are defeated, speak to the woman. She will inform you that Ahsis went in the direction where the legendary machine was seen. Follow her and she will take you there.

You will reach a place where Aloy must use Focus to locate Ahsis trail. Highlight and follow it. You will soon reach the place where Ahsis is fighting Redmaw. The next point is fighting the machine.

Defeat Redmaw

The battle with Redmaw is similar to fights with regular Thunderjaws. You must fire at the same weak points while avoiding charges and tail attacks. The most important part of the fight is to neutralize the disk launchers on enemy's back. This will enable you to hide from the ranged attacks. Since the machine uses the launcher, it can hit you wherever you hide.

Tanalah isn't very helpful, but she can distract the machine, allowing you to regenerate strength, craft arrows and hit the machine in its back a few times. What's interesting, if you try overriding the machine, it will become tamed. This won't let you complete the task, so in the end you must attack it to complete the task.

Finishing the quest

Speak to Tanalah and Ahsis after winning. Then go back to the Hunter Lodge. There you must speak with Tanalah again. After a longer dialog sequence the mission and the Lodge plot will end.
