Complete the 'A Secret Shared' errand in Horizon Zero Dawn. Find the Pigment – Light Salt, retrieve the Mounting Rail from the Drone Hangar, and defeat a Stalker to upgrade your spear.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Exit Song's Edge settlement and head left to a hot spring. Speak to the Banuk shaman, Kamut, who has a green marker over his head, to start the errand.
  2. 2
    Kamut will ask you to travel north to the other side of the Cut to find a component.
  3. 3
    Locate the Pigment – Light Salt on a protruding rock covered in a yellow substance near the hot springs.
  4. 4
    Activate the errand in your quest menu and travel north. Beware of a Fireclaw machine site on your way.
  5. 5
    Find the Drone Hangar, a large bunker in the ground. Look for a rappel point around its edges to drop inside.
  6. 6
    At the bottom, two sensory discs will be triggered, but no Stalkers will appear.
  7. 7
    Investigate the area and loot supply crates. Find Bluegleam at the head of the first plane.
  8. 8
    Use your Focus to scan the plane; the rail part has been scavenged.
  9. 9
    Go to the back of the room, climb a broken ladder, and pick up Animal Figurine 5.
  10. 10
    Find another ladder near supply crates. Climb it and use the handholds on the wall above to reach a console on the other side.
  11. 11
    Activate the console to move the plane backward on a conveyor.
  12. 12
    Go to the door at the back of the room on the left and use the moved plane to reach the opening above it. Hoist yourself into a small room.
  13. 13
    Pick up Audio Datapoint – Holo-Lock Reset.
  14. 14
    Scan the holographic display to find the key to the holo-lock and unlock the door into a corridor.
  15. 15
    Take the ladder down into another room and pick up Audio Datapoint – I Understand, Mr Blevins from a crate.
  16. 16
    Take the tunnel to your right and follow it to a second hangar with another plane.
  17. 17
    On the platform, under the second plane's wing, find Text Datapoint – Ban Him!!!.
  18. 18
    Scan the second plane; the rail part is intact. Take the Mounting Rail from the front of the plane.
  19. 19
    Leave the hangar. As you return to the first room, a Stalker will attack. Defeat it.
  20. 20
    Exit the bunker using the handholds on the wall.
  21. 21
    Fast travel back to Song's Edge.
  22. 22
    Leave the settlement and find Kamut again. Speak with him to complete the errand.
Tips
  • The Pigment – Light Salt is a visual cue near the start of the errand.
  • The Drone Hangar is referred to as a 'cave' by the shaman.
  • The sensory discs in the bunker are a red herring; no Stalkers will appear initially.
  • Use your Focus to scan objects and find collectibles like Bluegleam and datapoints.
  • The first plane needs to be moved to access a higher area.
  • The second plane contains the Mounting Rail you need.
  • Be prepared for a Stalker encounter upon exiting the bunker.
