Players can head over to the accessibility tab and switch on Climbing Annotations. This setting automatically shows the yellow lines on a surface which Aloy can grab onto. Climbing up or down in Horizon Forbidden West is simple enough, as players will need to locate these yellow lines and x marks to plan their path. Similarly, the game will automatically prompt when Aloy is close to a ledge, and players can drop down by pressing the Square button.

In Zero Dawn, Climbing was more or less restricted as players had to follow a linear path for going up or down. However, in Horizon Forbidden West the yellow lines and X marks on mountains and tall objects allow players to be creative with their movement. 

Players can also use Aloy's focus by pressing R3 to reveal these Climbing spots in-game. Climbing up to a vantage point can be crucial during fighting multiple opponents. Make sure to scan areas thoroughly to reveal all the yellow lines and x marks to Climb up or down.
