As you play through Horizon: Forbidden West, you’ll quickly notice there are plenty of ways to gather XP. However, there’s a limit to everything as that level number isn’t infinite. This leaves many players wondering about the max level in Horizon: Forbidden West.
What’s the Max Level in Horizon: Forbidden West?
In Horizon: Forbidden West, Aloy’s max level is 50. You can push your way to reach that max level well before you get to the end of the game too. However, just note that gaining levels in the game doesn’t greatly improve Aloy on their own. It will give Aloy a health boost, but it does not make her any stronger. Instead, how well Aloy performs has to do with her skills. This is why it’s vital to pay attention to that vast skill tree.
At the same time, you’ll notice recommended levels at different points in the game. These can be on certain missions or for cauldron locations. So, this encourages you to actually look at what level you’re at in Horizon: Forbidden West before you reach certain points in the game rather than just push through because Aloy may not have certain skills to handle what you’re about to face.
Once you reach the max, you won’t gain any other XP for anything you do. Also, the only way you can earn skill points after reaching the final level in Horizon: Forbidden West will be by completing quests. Additionally, as of now, you can’t re-allocate skill points. So, when you pick something, it’s permanent, so choose carefully.
Best Way to Gain XP
Everything you do in Horizon: Forbidden West will put you on the path to reaching the max level. Besides the main mission, you’ll want to focus on the side activities. This includes side quests from NPCs, going to cauldrons, taking out rebel camps, and tackling errands. Some activities have a fixed amount of XP such as when you override Tallnecks as these will always give you 7500 XP.
No matter what you do, you’ll always know how much XP you’ll get. The rewards from any activity are always made clear.
