The Oldgrowth is an errand quest in Horizon Forbidden West.
Synopsis[]
While in Plainsong, Aloy hears from the Chorus member Shael about an Utaru hunting party attacked by a Clawstrider in the Oldgrowth: only one of the five hunters, Ven, has returned. Reluctant to put more hunters at risk, Shael requests that Aloy deal with the machine to make the forest safe for hunting again, as well as gather the seed pouches of the fallen hunters to return to their families.
Within the Oldgrowth, Aloy follows the trail of the Clawstrider, recovering the seed pouches of three fallen hunters along the way. She arrives at a rock face, with a crevice surrounded by Skydrifters. After Aloy kills the machines, the last hunter Lao emerges, having escaped the Clawstrider by hiding in the crevice. The Clawstrider returns soon after, and the two hunters work together to destroy it.
Lao gifts Aloy his weapon as thanks before returning home, eager to check on his old friend Ven. Aloy then returns to Plainsong to tell Shael of her success, and gives her the seed pouches of the fallen hunters.
