A Sprout Without a Gardener is located in the Flamefeather Valley, in an area directly southwest of Morepesok on the map. You can also take the train and head to Morepesok Station to get closer to the quest location.

To unlock A Sprout Without a Gardener, players must first complete Gunfire in the Silent Lands, which is part of the Chapter 7 Act 1 Archon Quest called Everwinter Without Mercy.
Once Gunfire in the Silent Lands is completed, players can head to Flamefeather Valley to find the In the Dwelling of Life quest.
Everwinter Without Mercy Quest Guide

To start the quest, head to Flamefeather Valley, directly southwest of where Morepesok is on the map. You'll find a gang of Volkodlak in the area; approaching them will trigger dialogue that ends in a fight. Defeat them to proceed with the quest.

Defeating The Anvil and his gang will cause him to reveal that he was trying to protect loot that was discovered in a nearby tunnel. Head further west to find the tunnel and continue advancing the quest.
After reaching the train wreck site, you can explore around Flamefeather Valley to get Cryoculus 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, and 29.

Once you arrive, you'll find the tunnel entrance caved in with boulders, as well as a minecart attached to a Prime Ice Grappling Gun. Use Fab-Vision to remove the construct, which will cause the cart to roll into the boulders and blow them up.

After destroying the blockage, proceed into the tunnel. You will eventually reach a section piled high with crates and scaffolding, as well as a metal wall that cannot be destroyed at the moment.

Turn your attention away from the wall, and focus on the crate with a Prime Ice Hook on its side. You can destroy this crate by creating a Prime Ice Grappling Gun that will pull on the hook.
You will be able to check a small area behind the crate once it breaks. Head inside and go to the very end to find a small girl, which will trigger a cutscene.

After the cutscene, Nastya will place a new hook on the previously impassable metal wall. Place down another Prime Ice Grappling Gun to break the wall and unblock the way forward.

Once you break the wall, proceed to follow the linear path down, passing through another broken train on your way through. You will eventually reach Okurov, a large, forest-like area which Nastya calls home.

The A Sprout Without a Gardener World Quest is the first subquest of In the Dwelling of Life quest chain.

I have the dumbest problem- I think I removed the prime ice hook from the crate with the little girl in it before I realized I need it. There is no hook and I don't know where to learn how to make one, so I'm stuck on this quest. Anyone know how to learn how to replace a hook?
