The mystery surrounding Project Heartwood and the true extent of Mantikor’s actions continues to unravel within the recently uncovered Stella Montis facility. As Speranza’s dedicated personnel work tirelessly to salvage humanity’s lost future from the ruins, a critical piece of this puzzle—the Seed Box Key—lies hidden within these cold, silent halls. This guide provides a definitive walkthrough for the “Last Entry” quest, detailing precisely where to find the elusive Seed Box Key, how to locate the corresponding deposit box, and what significant rewards await for uncovering this fragment of the past.
Locating the Seed Box Key in Stella Montis
The “Last Entry” quest is given by Shani and becomes available after completing the prior mission, “Furtive Meetings.” Your investigation begins at the entrance to the Seed Vault within the sprawling Stella Montis complex. Just outside the vault‘s sealed door, your first objective is to access a researcher’s final log.
A short distance from the vault entrance, you will find a series of wall-mounted consoles. Approach the console illuminated by a distinct bright red light and interact with it to access the recorded log, completing the initial step of your task.
Searching the Jumpsuits for the Key
Immediately after reviewing the log, turn your attention to the small, adjacent room next to the bank of consoles. Inside, look for a rack holding two jumpsuits against the wall. A thorough search of these uniforms will yield the Seed Box Key, a crucial item needed to progress the quest and unlock the secrets held deeper within the vault.
How to Enter the Seed Vault
The door to the Seed Vault itself is permanently locked and requires an external power source to open. To gain entry, you must locate a Fuel Cell and transport it back to the vault entrance. Insert the Fuel Cell into the receptacle located next to the sealed door to activate the mechanism and grant access.
Fuel Cell Spawn Locations
Fuel Cells are not guaranteed to spawn in the immediate hallways outside the Seed Vault. If your initial search proves fruitless, proceed down the corridor leading toward the facility’s Atrium. This larger area typically has multiple Fuel Cells available, as they are commonly required to unlock various doors throughout the sector.
Finding and Looting the Seed Deposit Box
Upon entering the Seed Vault, exercise caution. The interior chambers often host hostile security in the form of Ticks and automated Turrets, especially if the area has not been recently cleared. Neutralize these threats before proceeding to the rear of the main vault room.
At the end of a row of storage containers, you will find a distinctive white computer console. With the Seed Box Key in your inventory, interact with this terminal. This action will open the secure deposit box and grant you the Official Shutdown Documentation, the primary quest item Shani seeks.
Additional Loot Inside the Seed Vault
The vault is not only a source of vital information but also a worthwhile location for scavenging. Expect to find at least one or two Medical Bags for healing, numerous containers filled with Assorted Seeds (which can be delivered to Celeste in Speranza for resources), and several breachable containers that commonly yield Electrical-type crafting components, making the detour highly rewarding beyond the core objective.
Completing the Quest and Rewards
With the Official Shutdown Documentation secured, your task in Stella Montis is complete. Return to Speranza and deliver the documents to Shani at her shop. For your efforts in piecing together another fragment of the Project Heartwood saga, you will be rewarded with experience points, the White Indigo color palette for the Warden Outfit, and the blueprint for the Yellow Light Stick, providing both cosmetic and functional tools for future expeditions.
Each recovered log and secured artifact like the Seed Box Key brings the citizens of Speranza closer to understanding the full scope of the tragedy that befell Project Heartwood, turning forgotten relics into beacons of hope for a struggling humanity. The path forward is built on these recovered fragments, urging every Raider to delve deeper into the ruins left behind by Mantikor’s interference.
