Players will stumble upon several locations from the modern age inHorizon Zero Dawn, and Cauldrons is one of them. These are hidden underground facilities in the game which act like mini-dungeons, requiring players to perform a series of traversal puzzles, and beat the machine boss at the end of it. Although these Cauldrons hold nice rewards, players also unlock the ability to override new machines after completing each one.
