Starting Location: Camp Nowhere

Talk to Talanah at the Oseram Camp

First head to the Osearm Camp known as Camp Nowhere. There you will receive information about Amadis, Talanah’s friend actually being here earlier and about him heading towards The Rot, near Thornmarsh. Aloy and Talahan set up a meeting there.

Meet Talanah north of Thornmarsh

After arriving near Thornmarsh and finding Talanah, she will admit searching for Amadis because of her feelings for him. So Aloy agrees to help her find him.

Follow Talanah / Kill the Fireclaw

Follow Talanah for a short distance and you will actually run into Amadis fighting a Fireclaw. Aloy and Talanah join him in the fight.

Talk to Amadis and Talanah / Follow Amadis

After defeating the Fireclaw Amadis tells Talanah why he did what he did. He wanted to find out what happened to Nessa, his former love, and the way to find out is by heading to The Rot where she was held prisoner. Follow Amadis there and you will find yourself in front of a complex with high wooden walls.

Find an Entrance to The Rot

Aloy tells the others to stay back and searches for another way in. Run around the complex and you can find an entrance at the back.

Kill the Rebels / Open the Gate for Talanah and Amadis

Inside take care of all the Rebels running around and once done head to the Gate and open it by turning the valve to the right of it.

Kill the Tideripper / Talk to Talanah

Outside, one of the Rebels is still alive and gets killed by Talanah before he can summon a machine using a device. Adamis proceeds to destroy the device.

However, the device still manages to summon a Tideripper, which you will have to kill. Once done talk to Talahan again. Inside the prison they find out Nessa is still alive but joined the Tenakht to fulfill her lifestyle or being a soldier without the oppression from Carja, who do not allow women to be soldiers. After the talk, Talanah and Aloy say goodbye and Talanah heads back east.

This finishes Need to Know Side Quest in Horizon 2: Forbidden West.

    I’m through the base and made my way to the other side of the mountain and the quest is “still on hold.”
    I’ve even gone to camp nowhere and talanah isn’t there.

      You have to wait a while. After you get the first subordinate function, then talk to Zo and you should be able to ask about Companions. During this she should mention Talanah having passed through.
