"She stopped to see the bloom and now she won't leave. Since when does she care about flowers?"
―Teikka

In Bloom is an errand quest in Horizon Forbidden West.

Synopsis[]

While traveling through The Shining Wastes, Aloy comes upon two Tenakth warriors among the flower fields. Aloy approaches, with the younger Teikka complaining she had risked guard duty to find her grandmother Darikka after she had disappeared without notice. Darikka explains she had come for the soothing scent of the Scarletstem flowers growing in the field. She had first encountered the flowers when she had met an Utaru Seedkeeper named Nilo. Intending to strike him down, she became placated by his song. Admiring each other, they had prolonged their visit to remain in each other's company. After some time however, Nilo returned to his people and Darikka left to pursue the call of battle. Darikka had not heard from him and since and wondered at the life they may have had together. Aloy then offers to deliver some Scarletstems to Nilo when she returns again to Plainsong.

After picking the flowers, Aloy travels to Plainsong to seek out the Herbalist. When she arrives, however, she learns Nilo had moved on to Riverhymn some time ago. Arriving at the northern village, Aloy overhears an Utaru woman speaking Nilo's name kneeling by the memorial grove. Aloy asks for Nilo, with the woman, named Jia, confirming that she has come to the right place. She reveals she is Nilo's daughter, with her father having passed five years prior. His seeds had been buried in the same grove he had lovingly tended to throughout life. When Aloy places the Scarletstems by his grave, Jia remarks that the flowers were his favorite. She had never known why, only that he enjoyed planting them. He had never picked the flowers, preferring to admire their blooms in their natural state.

Aloy returns to The Shining Wastes to inform Darikka of Nilo's death. Although disappointed, she is grateful to learn that he had been thinking of her.
