Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered – Mother’s Heart Walkthrough

by

As a seasoned gamer with countless hours logged into various titles under my belt, I must say that Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered has been a truly captivating journey so far. The Mother’s Heart quest, while seemingly simple, is indeed a crucial stepping stone towards the grander narrative that unfolds in the Proving.

In the preceding chapter of Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered, one might view it as an extended tutorial segment. Although the following mission, Mother’s Heart, doesn’t offer many significant events, it lays the groundwork for the Proving and all that follows in Aloy’s journey. To ensure you’re well-prepared for the Proving, I recommend completing this errand and any related side quests at your leisure. Here’s a glimpse of what lies ahead in the second main quest: Mother’s Heart.

This walkthrough contains spoilers, proceed with caution.

Talk to Rost

To start your journey, go northward and converse with Rost. Prior to this, don’t forget to distribute any skill points you’ve earned from leveling up or finishing the previous main story mission. Once you’re prepared to move forward in the narrative, engage Rost and let him know that you are all set.

After Rost departs, make your way towards the gate known as Mother’s Heart to initiate another cutscene. Currently, there isn’t much activity in Mother’s Heart, so proceed there to catch up with an old acquaintance. The character you rescued during the tutorial, named Teb, is now a vendor selling armor. He will provide your initial set of armor for free, and he also offers stronger armor in exchange for resources like Metal Shards.

The armor provided by Teb features an attachment point for customizations. If you’ve acquired any, be sure to affix one to your armor. Customizations have the potential to increase your damage output and lessen the damage received, so ensure to equip them on both your weapons and armor as much as possible.

Head to the Matriarch’s Lodge

Once your shopping is finished, make your way along the path heading west towards the Matriarch’s Lodge. If you wish to buy something before the Proving, Karst may call you over. Speak with him first, then continue upwards towards the Matriarch’s Lodge to initiate a cutscene. Following this, engage in conversation with the man wearing a Focus, and subsequently talk to Erend.

After passing the Matriarch’s Lodge to the left, I’ll follow the path towards the site of the Blessing Ceremony. Once the scene unfolds, I’ve got two tasks ahead:

  • Talk to Olin
  • Go to the Hunter’s Lodge

Opting for a chat with Olin isn’t necessary at all. Frankly, he won’t impart much wisdom, instead, he seems more focused on getting rid of people like me. Regardless, when you feel prepared to progress the narrative further, make your way to the Hunter’s Lodge. It’s a chilly reception both from the guard stationed outside and Bast within the lodge.

As I’m preparing for sleep, I find myself chatting with Vala, who holds a more favorable view of Aloy than most in the Nora tribe. Once I engage with my bed, that mission concludes, paving the way for the next adventure to unfold.
