How To Restore Power To The Control Room Door in Horizon Forbidden West – Seeds of the Past quest
So, you’ve gotten inside Test Station Elm. After looking around, you find yourself confronted by another puzzle – how to power up the control room door. It’s an essential step in moving on with the quest.
This is how to restore power to the control room door in Horizon Forbidden West: First, use the Pullcaster on the vent in the south corner of the room and crouch through. Next, ignite the Firegleam on the wall to your left to create a hole. Head through the new hole back to the main room and pull out the first battery storage rack on your left. Move round to the right of the rack and remove the energy cell. Take the energy cell back into the room you just came out of. Finally, place it in the generator (marked with battery symbol) at the north east end of the room.
And there you have it, how to restore power to the control room door. From here you can activate the Paired Console and progress Seeds of the Past.
