The most numerous of all Datapoints, World Datapoints are found lying around the open world. Unlike Scanned Glyphs, they're always the small devices with purple holograms. This page of IGN's Horizon Forbidden West guide covers the World Datapoints, including where and how to find them!

If you're looking for more Datapoints, visit our Datapoints hub. We also have a Collectibles section, covering Relic Ruin Ornaments, Vista Points, Survey Drones and more!

Spoiler Warning

While not as inherently spoilery as other sections, these Datapoints can give away spoilers for the side stories by virtue of character names, locations and Datapoints. Please keep this in mind as you use this page!

This Datapoint is in the North-Eastern area of the Isle of Spires. Look for the Fire Clawstrider Site along the beach and head for the peninsula of buildings sticking up out of the water to the East of it.

Travel through here along the beach and check inside the building at the bottom of the hill (if you're facing East, they'll be on your left). The Datapoint will be inside a building with three curved windows, at the bottom of some windows just above some long red grass.

This Isle of Spires Datapoint is found in City Hall, the domed building just West of the Relic Ruins in the middle of the island. It'll be the site of some Clamberjaws (so the place is still filled with monkeys!).

To get to it, bring up the map and locate how to enter the ruins from the North-Western corner. When you get to the pool of water, turn right to head inside, then go right again up the stairs. At the top, turn right again to spot some handholds you can use to climb up the wall.

Walk forwards to the edge of the balcony, then look behind Aloy to spot some more handholds to her right. Climb up them to get to an interior balcony: the Datapoint will be here next to an Ancient Valuables Box.

This Datapoint is found in the flooded baseball stadium North-East of the Landfall Tallneck in the Isle of Spires. Check the seating in the Northern corner of the stadium to find this on a corner seat with railing in front of it. Exercise caution however, as it'll be guarded by Snapmaws!

This Datapoint is found in the waters North of Legacy's Landfall on the Isle of Spires. Visible on the map are three ships: to the East of them is a building complex, with its tower sticking out of the water.

From the map screen, locate a dark blue rectangle North of the tower, then swim out to the Southern corner. Here will be a balcony railing with the Datapoint on it.

Take EXTREME caution when going for this Datapoint: the building is patrolled by a Tideripper and a Snapmaw, and Aloy is completely defenseless while underwater. Use Stealth Kelp to your advantage!

  • Location: Isle of Spires

This Datapoint is found at a top of a tower located East of the Isle of Spires Vista Point, and West of the Landfall Tallneck. It'll be between a Stalker Site and a Fire Clawstrider Site.

To start your climb, check the North face of the rusty roofed area at the bottom of the building for a ladder: it'll be next to a tall torch. Shoot down the ladder and then head right to climb up. The Datapoint will be at the top, next to an Ancient Valuables Chest.

The first jump off the starting handholds is very finnicky: if you can't get to the next handhold, jump to the right to land on some logs and then jump up onto the handhold.

This Datapoint is part of a minor quest in the Eastern area of the Isle of Spires. Look for a Charger Site South-West of Legacy's Landfall and East of the Relic Ruins.

Just West of the Charger Site is a shallow river: follow it South to find a man named Areus fighting some Red Eye Watchers. Defeat them, then start climbing up the wall of the building using the handholds to help his sister, Laures. Pry the rubble off of her, then climb up and drag down the crate so you can both access another set of handholds to get out.

You'll make your way down some pitch-black stairs. When you get to the bottom, turn left and go all the way to the end of the hallway and through the doorway. Here you'll end up in front of a hole in the wall with a view outside: look to your left to spot the Datapoint.

The final Datapoint is located in the Isle of Spires, specifically up the tower where you can get the local Survey Drone. It’ll be just West of the Legacy’s Landfall settlement.

Climb up the tower as you would to get the survey drone, but when you get to the area with the final set of handholds, ignore them. Instead go into the ruined room nearby to find the Datapoint sitting in one of the windows.
