One such impediment to look out for is Firegleam. Its inclusion in the game will stop players from being able to do certain things, but thankfully not for too long. Contents What is Firegleam in Horizon Forbidden West? The Firegleam crystals are \u2018Anomalous Growths\u2019 consisting of crystalized fungi that protrude from certain walls, blocking off paths. They won\u2019t be permanent fixtures in the game as you can remove them using a certain device. Horizon Forbidden West provides an official description of the substance using the game\u2019s scanning tool: \u201cHybridized crystalline and fungal growth of unknown origin. Invulnerable to impact. Special gear required to clear.\u201d How to remove red crystals in Horizon Forbidden West As you naturally progress through the story, you will find a piece of special gear called the \u2018Igniter.\u2019 This isn\u2019t a spoiler as you physically cannot progress through the game without it, and you get it relatively early on in the game. Here\u2019s how you can obtain the item and begin clearing any Firegleam that you come across: Play Horizon Forbidden West until you reach the \u2018Death\u2019s Door\u2019 mainline quest. – Once you\u2019ve been instructed on how to create the \u2018Igniter\u2019, go off in search of the ingredients. – You will need 1x Leaplasher Spark Coil and 1x Deepwater Kindle Weed Oil. – Once you have these, craft the Igniter. – You should now have the special new spear that Aloy can use to detonate any red crystals she comes across. This will open up access to a lot of new doors and paths, usually guarding treasure and other valuable items.
