Walkthrough for A Seeker at the Gates quest in Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered. Includes steps for Shortage of Supplies errand, Corrupted Zone 02, Vallymeet Hunting Grounds, and Underequipped side quest.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Errand: Shortage of Supplies: Travel to Mother's Crown and speak with Sona at the North Gate to begin. Purchase the Carja Sharpshot Bow and Carja Sling from the Merchant if you haven't already, and upgrade carry capacity. Head south through the South Gate, then west to a Lancehorn grazing site. Use Tearblast Arrows from the Carja Sharpshot Bow to target Lancehorn back tanks and harvest a Lancehorn Lens. Return to the path and head south to find Orn atop a rock structure. Climb up and give him the Signal Arrows. Rappel/zip line down and return to Mother's Crown. Climb the Watchtower by the North Gate (using handholds behind where Sona was) and speak with her to complete the errand.
  2. 2
    A Seeker at the Gates (Part 2): Rappel down from the watchtower and head north to Corrupted Zone 02. This zone contains three Corrupted Grazers. Find a vantage point, use Tearblast Arrows to defeat them, and complete the zone.
  3. 3
    Vallymeet Hunting Grounds: Located north of the first Corrupted Zone. Climb to the camp and speak with the Keeper.
    • Fire Fight Trial: Damage four machines with a blast from shooting the Blaze tank of a Strider with a Fire Arrow within 40 seconds for a Blazing Sun. Use the zip line, shoot a Strider's tank, and then follow the scattered Striders to a safer group. Shoot another Strider's tank in the group to damage multiple machines.
  4. 4
    Freeze Trial: Freeze and kill 5 machines within 1:30 for a Blazing Sun. Use the Sling/Carja Sling with Freeze Bombs and kill with a single blow. Be mindful of Bellowbacks.
  5. 5
    Shock Trial: Shoot off three underbelly canisters from a Bellowback within 1:00 for a Blazing Sun. You must equip a Shock weapon to start. Descend left, set up a Shock Tripcaster path, and wait for the Bellowback to trigger it. Once stunned, use Tearblast Arrows from the Carja Sharpshot Bow to destroy the three canisters.
  6. 6
    Side Quest: Underequipped: From the Vallymeet Hunting Grounds camp, head west to the Hunter's Gathering campsite. Speak with Lubavad to receive the quest. Find the two Grazer Training Dummies within the campsite. Climb a pole near the second dummy, jump to a ledge, head towards the mountains, cross a ravine via a log, and climb to a tightrope. Cross the tightrope to find Banuk Artifact: I Name You. Use the zipline to return. Head east out of the campsite, follow the path south and then east, passing a campfire and machine carcasses, until you find the wrecked caravan. Speak with Marzavid.
Tips
  • It's recommended to be Level 18 with upgraded carrying capacities (level 3 or higher).
  • Ensure you have green weapons (except Sharpshot Bow, Tripcaster, Sling if you have Carja variants) and have completed their tutorials.
  • A good loadout includes the Hunter Bow, Carja Sharpshot Bow, Carja Tripcaster, and Carja Sling or Blast Sling.
  • Tearblast Arrows are effective against Lancehorn tanks.
  • The Carja Sharpshot Bow is useful for targeting machine weak points.
  • For the Shock Trial, using the Tripcaster to create a shock trap is highly effective.
