Ancient Vessels are a type of Collectible in Horizon Zero Dawn. There are 12 of them in total scattered around the open world. Finding all of them unlocks the trophy “All Ancient Vessels found” [Bronze].
You can buy a map for their general areas at any merchant. This doesn’t give you the exact location, only a rough search area. Press R3 to scan for ancient rubble. Then search the pile of rubble to find the ancient vessel. None of them are missable. You can free roam in the open world to get them any time.
After finding all twelve you can bring them to the collectible merchant in Meridian City to receive 1500 Metal Shards and several Modifications. This is a very fast way to earn money. Each Ancient Vessel has its own unique name which you can look up in the Notebook (press Touchpad). There you can also see how many you’ve found.
The collectibles are not saved automatically. Meaning you must reach a checkpoint or campfire to save the progress.
