How to split the roles

When one of you plays more than the other: who takes which seat in LEGO Horizon Adventures, and why.

Based on the store listing only. We found no official guide or manual that goes further than the store page, so the advice below stays general.

P1 · For the more experienced player

Aloy, the lead hero

Aloy is the hero you start with; the others are unlocked.

P2 · For the newer player

An unlocked hero, on an easier difficulty

The store lists a difficulty choice, and single-screen co-op keeps both players together.

Skill-gap friendly · higher is easier

3out of 5

Difficulty choice; no dedicated helper role.

General help only: a difficulty choice, drop-in/drop-out, quick respawn, per-player settings or turn-based pace. Both players still face the same core challenge.

Easy to coordinate · higher is easier

3out of 3 · Easy

Players fight side by side on one screen.

Easy: you can mostly play side by side; little talking needed.

The roles Different jobs

Heroes have unique skills (the store does not list them).

Aloy, Varl, Teersa or Erend Moderate
Moderate seat: aim and timing. Suits the more experienced player.
Fight machines and clear challenges with each hero's unique skills.
- Aim
- Timing

Help for the newer player

Store tag: "Choose your difficulty".
Single-screen couch co-op keeps both players in the same world.

Ways to split the work

Pick the difficulty before starting; the store lists a difficulty choice.
Couch co-op is single-screen, so nobody wanders off-screen.
