Destination: Daytower

Return to Mother’s Crown and speak with Marea. She will explain that the Carja have sealed their border due to corrupted machines. You may have already cleared enough Corrupted Zones for the quest “A Seeker at the Gates”; if not, you will need to clear two in the valley to the west. Marea can also provide information about Daytower and Hunter’s Gathering.

Exit Mother’s Crown via the northern gate, pass the Campfire, and head northwest and west.

Continue past a watch tower and across a bridge to the west. At a fork (west of a Shell-Walker Site), turn northwest.

Drop off a ledge, cross a stream, and continue northwest until you reach another road just south of the Valleymeet Hunting Grounds.

Continue west to another fork. Instead of following the road, head west into the grass where you will encounter Broadheads and Watchers. Defeat or evade them.

Make your way southwest of the Broadhead Site icon on your map to find the Metal Flower icon. Search southwest of this icon, west of a large rock and near a scattering of trees, to find Metal Flower - Mark I (I).

Return northeast to the previous fork in the road and follow the road northwest into the mountains to reach Hunter’s Gathering.

In Hunter’s Gathering, you can speak with NPCs like Gera, visit a merchant, and find Training Dummies. Training Dummy XXI is northeast of the merchant, and Training Dummy XXII is northeast of Gera.

Northeast of Training Dummy XXII, near Gera, find the Banuk painting on the cliffs. Climb the nearby pole and scale the rocks. Turn northeast to find a zipline. Beyond the zipline, in a crevasse, use hand-holds to ascend the cliff. At the top, cross the taut rope to find the Banuk Figurine “Banuk Artifact: I Name You”. Use the zipline to return down.

Return southwest to Hunter’s Gathering and exit the settlement in the opposite direction you entered. Follow the road downhill to the southwest.

The road will turn south before leading to a fork. Continue southwest, then west to reach a Campfire.

From this Campfire, head west across a bridge. You will encounter two Sawtooths; defeat or evade them.

Continue west to a fork, then head uphill to the west. Cross a bridge to the southwest.

After crossing the bridge, turn uphill to the northwest to find Metal Flower - Mark I (J).

Continue southwest from the Metal Flower to reach a Corrupted Zone. Here you will find Corrupted Watchers and Corrupted Scrappers. Use the patches of tall grass for cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects) and employ Silent Strike to defeat them. This may count towards clearing Corrupted Zones for “A Seeker at the Gates”.

After clearing the machines, the objective will update to reach Vantage Point - Bridal Veil Falls.
