Below is a walkthrough for the Level 10 Cinnabar Sands Tallneck quest in Horizon Forbidden West. To obtain this side quest, simply approach the Tallneck.
Climb up the dish
Head to the satellite dish the Tallneck is circling. Underneath it, you’ll find a generator with the Eyes to the Heaves datapoint on it so make sure to scan it. You’ll then want to shoot the lock on a nearby ladder allowing you to climb up the dish.
Restore Power to the Console
Once at the top of the dish, make sure to scan the Worth It datapoint, then look for a ladder to the right of the datapoint that you can lower. Climb down the ladder then move across a ledge to reach an energy cell. Remove it then drop down to the ground below and insert the energy cell into the generator from earlier.
Activate the Console
Climb back up to the middle of the tower and interact with the freshly powered and interact with it.
Find a Way up the Dish
Follow the walkway opposite the console jumping across the gap to find some things to scale the satellite.
Find a Way to Untangle the Dish
At the top of the dish, shoot the cables that are preventing it from aligning correctly. They can be found to the left of the datapoint you scanned up here earlier.
Reach the Top of the Dish
With the tower aligned properly, you can now climb up the dish via the ladder attached to it.
Jump on the Tallneck
Once on the top, glide onto the Tallneck climbing along the outside of it to reach the top.
Override the Tallneck
You can now override the Tallneck completing the quest.
