Follow this guide to find DEMETER's coordinates in Horizon Forbidden West. Learn how to defeat Quen ambushers, navigate The Greenhouse, and locate Test Station Ivy.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Head northwest on the map to find The Greenhouse facility. If you see The Stand of the Sentinels Tallneck, go northwest from it.
  2. 2
    Enter The Greenhouse via the small bridge to its southeast. Invisible walls prevent entry from other perimeter points.
  3. 3
    Upon approaching the ruined building, you will be ambushed by Quen warriors. Some will attack from the second floor with arrows, while others will rush you from the building. Use cover and be ready to counter melee attacks.
  4. 4
    Utilize Blaze barrels around the compound, especially on the upper floor, by detonating them with fire ammo. Loot bodies and chests inside the building after the fight.
  5. 5
    Continue around the building to find the entrance to The Greenhouse.
  6. 6
    Inside, a Holo Projector will activate. Proceed forward until you find DEMETER blocked by a Metal Flower.
  7. 7
    Scan the ADMTN_WRTH/BRN_DREAM_1 Datapoint to the right of the Metal Flower using your Focus.
  8. 8
    To the left of the Metal Flower, use your Pullcaster on a metal clamp on the wall to destroy it and open a passage.
  9. 9
    Use the Pullcaster again on a vent panel to open it.
  10. 10
    Enter the elevator shaft and use your Focus to highlight handholds for climbing.
  11. 11
    Climb to the next opening and enter a room. Find the A Difficult Beginning Datapoint.
  12. 12
    Activate the Holo Projector in the room to learn about the facility. Your objective is to find Test Station Ivy.
  13. 13
    Approach the window on the eastern end of the room to find a rappel point to descend to the ground.
  14. 14
    Engage the Quen soldiers in the courtyard. Use stealth by isolating enemies with rocks or use Acid ammo on Metalbite containers for explosions. Be aware of the Imperial Guard with a bomb launcher.
  15. 15
    After defeating the enemies, explore the area. A crafting bench is available. Pry open a chest under one of the tents with your spear to find the rare [Berserker Hunting Bow].
  16. 16
    Go to the marker and through the door to trigger a cutscene, introducing the NPC Alva.
  17. 17
    Engage in dialogue with Alva. Choose the option to continue the quest.
  18. 18
    Run to the other console and activate it. A Datapoint named Growing Concern is located next to it. Activating the console will open a hatch.
Tips
  • Use fire ammo to detonate Blaze barrels for effective crowd control against the Quen.
  • The Berserker Hunting Bow, found in a chest, can be very useful for making enemies attack each other.
  • Human enemies are generally weak to fire.
  • Use your Focus to tag all enemies before engaging, especially in the courtyard area, to maintain awareness of their positions.
