Ancient Vessels are a type of collectable found across the world of Horizon Zero Dawn. They can be found near ruins, within piles of ancient debris. Ancient Vessels can be traded in sets of four to the Carja merchant Studious Palas, in exchange for special Treasure Boxes. Map - Ancient Vessels can be purchased from merchants and shows the approximate locations of all Ancient Vessels.

One Ancient Vessel can also be found in Horizon Call of the Mountain within the ruins of Devil's Anger.

Lore[]

Although the Old Ones viewed them as simple coffee mugs, Ancient Vessels became a subject of significant speculation to 31st-century intellectuals. Their use as a mere drinking vessel was viewed as ludicrous, due to the craftsmanship of the mugs; instead, they were assumed to have a crucial role in sacred rituals. For example, Studious Palas was adamantly convinced that the vessels were meant to be used in sets, as part of a beard-shaving ritual, with each vessel holding a different substance used during shaving (water, lotion, etc.).
