Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds main quests
Here is the main quest sequence for The Frozen Wilds. It is listed in Horizon Zero Dawn’s quest menu under side quests, but it’s a linear sequence that takes you on a tour of the main locations, and provides access to dungeons otherwise locked to Aloy.

Although the questline may seem short, the middle of the arc will have you haring after multiple objectives of your choice from a lengthy list of options, and each quest after the first involves a fair bit of exploration and dungeon delving – not to mention opportunities to finish the major side quests while you’re at it.
