Does Horizon Forbidden West have a difficulty trophy?
In short, no, Horizon Forbidden West does not have a difficulty trophy. This means that you will not get anything special for playing the game at a higher level (other than bragging rights, and to be honest those are kind of worth it in themselves, right?)
There are also no specific missions that need to be completed on a higher difficulty, so you can explore the game at whatever pace you like.
Horizon Forbidden West: Difficulties
As with every game, Forbidden West has a vast array of different default difficulties, but it also allows you to tailor just how challenging the game is with the custom difficulties setting.
Below are all of the build-in modes, as well as what you can change in the custom section:
| Difficulty | Attributes |
| Story | Combat is made easier to allow for focus on exploration and the game’s narrative |
| Easy | Gives players an easy combat experience while exploring |
| Normal | Balances exploration, story, and combat |
| Hard | Offers challenging combat throughout |
| Very Hard | Incredibly demanding combat that will force players to test their skills |
| Custom | Players can control: Damage to Aloy Enemy Health Concentration Duration Loot availability Auto Heal Auto Concentration |
How to change difficulty settings
Thankfully, you can change the game’s difficulty at any time throughout your post-apocalyptic journey with a quick visit to the ‘Settings‘ menu.
- This should be the default one when you open Settings, but have a check just in case!
