Horizon Forbidden West Kratos Face Paint Location

First of all, players have to find three hidden war totems to get the Kratos signature red-colored face paint. They are located in totally different regions of the game’s world. In this guide, I will be guiding you towards the location of Totems and how to unlock Kratos paint.

Totem Of Brotherhood

Totem of brotherhood is the first of three Totems of War. There is no exact location guide on a map in this game therefore, you have to go to the map and set a marker by successful guess like in the following image, I am setting the marker on the location of Totem of Brotherhood. 

1. Open your map and set a marker on the location where you believe the Totem of Brotherhood might be.

   

2. Use a flying creature to travel to the marked location.

   

3. Look for a sandy surface with water nearby, which should be close to your marked spot.
4. Once you’ve reached the area, you’ll come across a dead machine. Examine or scan the machine, and you’ll find the Totem of Brotherhood inside.

   

5. After obtaining the totem, use your focus to follow a trail that will lead you to a cave-like hole in the mountain.

   

6. Inside the cave, you’ll discover the Totem of Brotherhood, which is one of three needed to unlock the God of War paint.

   

7. Pick up the totem and check your notebook to confirm that you’ve collected the first one.

Remember that there are three Totems of War in total, so you’ll need to repeat this process to find the remaining two. Once you’ve collected all three, you’ll be able to unlock the God of War paint.

Totem of Youth

To find the third and final Totem, the Totem of Youth, head to the far west side of the island near the bank. Similar to the first two Totems, use a marked location on the map to guide you. When you reach the marked spot, you’ll be surrounded by palm trees with arrows fired into them. Scan these arrows, and they’ll lead you to a crumbling building. Use your focus ability, just like with the first two Totems, to uncover and obtain the Totem of Youth.

Applying Kratos Face Paint

We can’t apply Kratos face paint right away after collecting all three Totems of war. We have to travel to the painter and pay the merchant ten metal shards so the Kratos face paint appears on our face.

Look at the following picture. This is how Kratos face paint will be looked on the face of Aloy when players equip it. This facial appearance of Aloy will remind everyone of Kratos protagonist of God of War. This paint is named after Kratos’s signature red face paint.
