Metal Flowers are unique collectibles in Horizon Zero Dawn, scattered throughout the game's world. In total, there are 30 metal flowers to discover. Each one is named after a real-life flower and can be found in specific locations or regions within the game.
There are 3 types of metal flowers: Mark 1, Mark 2, and Mark 3. Each group of metal flowers is located in a certain area, so I recommend collecting the flowers by group. The easiest way to find all the metal flowers is to buy the Metal Flowers map from the regular Merchant. It will show you the approximate location of metal flowers on the map. For a more specific and precise location, you can check our guide.
On this page, you will find the locations of all the Horizon Zero Dawn metal flowers, directions on how to collect all of them, and potential problems or dangerous machines that will wait for you on your way.
Mark 1 Metal Flowers
There are 10 Mark 1 Metal Flowers that are placed mostly in the East of the map, on the Nora lands and near.
Mark 1-A Metal Flower
The first metal flower in Horizon Zero Dawn can be found in the ruins you explored during the prologue. To access it, use your spear to break the stalagmites blocking the entrance to the treasure chambers. In the chamber farthest from the exit, you'll come across the flower.
Mark 1-B Metal Flower
The next metal flower is located high on the mountain. The quickest route to get it is by using the ropes near Rost’s house. Alternatively, you can head west from Rost’s house, jump from the rock ledge, and you'll find yourself right next to the treasure.
Mark 1-C Metal Flower
The next Metal Flower is located near the abandoned village, between Embrace and Mother’s Crown. Veer slightly off the main road, and you'll easily spot the Horizon Zero Dawn metal flower.
Mark 1-D Metal Flower
The fourth metal flower is located in the area you've explored during The War-Chief’s Trail quest. The flower is growing near the cultists' camp you attacked during the mission.
Mark 1-E Metal Flower
The flower 1 E is located near the ruins of ancestors. The marker might be less visible in daylight due to the environment's colors, but your Focus can easily help you spot it.
Mark 1-F Metal Flower
The next Metal Flower is located in the second set of ruins, outside of Embrace. Reaching the cave, jump into the water, and swim directly. You’ll find the metal flower on the left.
Mark 1-G Metal Flower
The 1-G Metal Flower is located on the other side of Devil's Grief. It's easy to spot it, but be cautious as two Sawtooths patrol the area. If you move quietly, you can retrieve the flower without engaging in combat.
Mark 1-H Metal Flower
The next Metal Flower in Horizon Zero Dawn is located near one of the campfires, on the north of the map. However, there is a Glinthawk nest nearby, so be attentive.
Mark 1-I Metal Flower
1-I flower is hidden within the bushes not far from the Valleymeet Hunting Grounds. It might be slightly harder to find. In this area, you may encounter a few machines, but they shouldn't cause any significant issues during your search.
Mark 1-J Metal Flower
The final flower from the Mark 1 set is located near the road that connects Mother’s Crown and Hunter’s Gathering.
