Saved this to the Archive just in case anything happens to the Imgur album hosting most of the images and gifs (some were in another album, and sadly already gone). However, I should restore them (or similar) on my next playthrough (whenever that may be). https://web.archive.org/web/20231210044304/https://onelastforum.com/threads/horizon-zero-dawn-feats-lore-thread.2864/

I'll need to actually play the game (which I will, should I eventually get a PS5), but Burning Shores actually has a Stormbird creating a storm! There's a storm located entirely over just one island due to an Apex Stormbird. After it's killed it causes a considerable burst of electrical energy, and the ground very noticably shakes (this happens the same way in the above walkthrough boss battles with the Stormbird too).

Waterwings are a type of machine which can fly and swim underwater (and Aloy can ride them).

Gurellia games reference a sudden change in weather in relation to the Stormbird in Call of the Mountain. While we'll have to wait and see, this is further evidence that Stormbirds outright create storms.

Brin is a Banuk shaman who can seeminly see visions of the past and the future by drinking machine blood. These visions from each robot animal (Sawtooth, Corruptor, Stalker & Thunderjaw respectively) are apocryphal and hard to make out, though there are some notes of interest in there (such as Brin knowing the Corruptors aren't made by GAIA, and of "Corruptor after Corruptor" which may alude to the Faro Plague). https://horizon.fandom.com/wiki/Acquired_Taste The final vision though, is not of the past but of the future. He sees a vision of the future in the Forbidden West, and of jungles on fire and the blue lights of machine eyes dying out in the eddies of ash, and Aloy herself seemingy dead. He talks about an onrushing storm, and a Metal World different to the one he knew (maybe a reference to the blight or to Far Zenith). We later see reference to him in the journal of an Oseram worker, where he's continuing on his way to the Burning Shores...

Stormbirds can collect and discharge the electricity in the air. https://www.playstation.com/en-au/games/horizon-zero-dawn/#machines Behemoths have anti-gravity abilities, which they use for transporting cargo and in combat. Their drills allow them to pulverize rock.

Some notes from the Horizon Zero Dawn official guide. The Nora Brave outfit can protect Aloy from even the mightiest of strikes from Rockbreakers and Thunderjaws. Stormbirds can shoot sonic projectiles, which can be dodged. Rockbreakers eat rocks so as to process them into minerals. The stormbirds thunderclash attack involves slamming into the ground at tremendous speeds. Scrappers can attack with lasers. Thunderjaws can also attack with lasers.

The Faro Machines consume bio-matter using a nano-haze, a swarm of nanobots which strips organic matter down to return to the robot (although a Horus can also consume in the normal way). https://horizon.fandom.com/wiki/Phantom_Limbs

More evidence that nukes were used against the Faro Plague. https://horizon.fandom.com/wiki/Biosphere_Degradation https://horizon.fandom.com/wiki/Counselor_Guidelines_(1)

Ancient humanity had mines on the Moon. https://horizon.fandom.com/wiki/Luna_Here_I_Come https://horizon.fandom.com/wiki/Rama5:_30_Years_On https://horizon.fandom.com/wiki/Mourn_mosquitoes%3F https://horizon.fandom.com/wiki/Leaks_spark_fears

The technology to print fast food existed before the Faro Plague.

The armies of the Shadow Carja destroy a huge segment of the plateau near the Sundom to let their machine armies in. Though we don't know how it was started (a machine, a bomb, several machines), we can see the explosion is set off on the top of the plateau.

A large sandstorm appears when a stormbird attacks Aloy and Morlund. However, I cannot yet confirm if the two are connected or not (though it's another implication of stormbirds being about to outright control the weather).

The stormbird boss fight outside Gaia Prime is always fought in a blizzard. I don't know if this storm was created by the stormbird or it just is there, but I feel this is worth mentioning in anycase.

In the upcoming Call of the Mountain (the VR game, which will follow a new hero called Ryas, a former Shadow Carja ooking to redeem himself), a Stormbird is shown to seemingly conjure a storm (which is actually implied to be among their powers in Forbidden West), and summons air to ground lightning.

An expansion to Horizon Forbidden West has been announced! Burning Shores, set in the volcanic archipelago that was once LA. We will also finally see a Horus in action.

Something that is definately of note; machines are created and repaired through light. The implications of course, being energy to mass conversion. A former employee of Faro Automated Solutions also says that the machines of the Faro Plague could repair themselves from "memory and light." https://horizon.fandom.com/wiki/Interview:_Brad_Andac When HEPHAESTUS is put in charge of Far Zeniths machine creation facilities, it quickly creates many machines, which can be observed being created in seconds (including dreadwings and slaughterspines en mass). However, I'm not sure if this is the same method used in GAIA's Cauldron's or by the Faro Plague. Tilda refers to these as printing facilities, but doesn't refer to how it works (other than resources being needed in order to print). The Far Zenith printer matrix is noted to be faster and more powerful than any Cauldron.

Guerilla Games had plans for Far Zenith even as they were developing Horizon Zero Dawn. https://gizmodo.com/the-origins-of-horizon-forbidden-wests-biggest-spoilers-1848550133

Horizon has had several (most likely non-canon) crossovers. It has crossed over with Monster Hunter World: Iceborne, Fortnite, Genshin Impact, Ghost of Tsushima, Little Big Planet and others. https://www.monsterhunter.com/world-iceborne/us/topics/collabo-horizon/ There is also a Horizon Forbidden West Lego set for the Tallneck.

All of the Horizon calcs I've made so far. I hope to make more at some point in the future. https://onelastforum.com/tags/horizon/
