The Seeds of the Past is a main quest in Horizon Forbidden West. In this quest, Aloy must retrieve a lost subordinate function of GAIA, Demeter. This quest comes right after the completion of The Sea of Sands quest. Players at a minimum level of 24 can start this quest. However, they cannot start the Seeds of the Past quest if they haven’t completed The Broken Sky and The Sea of Sands. 

How to Complete The Seeds of the Past Quest?

Here are the steps you can take to complete The Seeds of the Past quest: 

  1. Meet Varl and Beta. Now travel to the Bulwark and head southwest. Over there, you’ll be attacked by Quen. You must kill them and then go inside The Greenhouse which is also called FAS Biotech. Once you’re inside, go to the Demeter console and enter the room on the left using the Pullcaster. You will have to climb the elevator shaft and interact with the consoles on the way, giving you a Hologram Datapoint. 
  2. Descend and either kill or sneak past Quen marines. After speaking to Alva, enter the underground tunnels. You’ll have to fight Longlegs, Tracker Burrowers, and Clawstriders which are weak to Frost Damage. Now go to Test Station Elm and find a key on the lower level. The key will unlock a cart and a new trolley. Using the trolley, get to the Power Cell. Use Firegleam to blow through the wall and use the Power cell on the power outlet. Meet with Alva here.
  3. Now, escape the tunnels and you’ll have to face a Dreadwing. Use fire damage to defeat it, and use explosive canisters in the environment. Loot the Dreadwing once it’s dead and interact with the console. Craft the Vine Cutter on the workbench. 
  4. You can now return to Demeter and destroy the Metal Flower vines with the Vine Cutter. Take Demeter back to GAIA to complete the quest. 

Completing this quest gives the player 19,200 XP and two skill points. The next quest unlocked is Faro’s Tomb.
