Follow this Horizon Zero Dawn walkthrough to find Olin's apartment in Meridian, uncover clues about his motivations, and confront him in Rockwreath.
Walkthrough

- 3Erend will appear; talk to him and agree to help find Olin.

- 6Head upstairs and examine the family portrait.
- 7Climb the ladder on the east/northeastern wall to a loft containing Stacked Ingots. Push the ingots to open the trap door.
- 8Go downstairs and explore the secret cellar. Scan and examine the map, datapoint (Hologram Datapoint “A Message for Olin”), and journal (Scanned Glyph “Olin’s Journal”).
- 9Talk to Erend. Aloy will initially want to pursue her own mission but will relent, starting the quest “The Field of the Fallen”.
