Remnant: From the Ashes has a variety of important NPCs that players have to interact with if they hope to be successful in the game. One of these characters is the Root Mother, a Merchant that players have to unlock for their Ward 13 base by progressing in the story. However, some players may not know exactly where to find the Root Mother - both out in the game world and in Ward 13.
Since the dungeons in Remnant: From the Ashes are procedurally-generated, we can't really provide directions to find the Root Mother. However, she is located at the Church, so once players manage to find that, they need to go inside and talk to her. After talking to the Root Mother, players have to defend her from waves of enemies for a certain amount of time. If they're successful, the Root Mother will head to Ward 13.
Players are instructed to talk to the Root Mother at Ward 13, but Remnant doesn't exactly provide an exact location for her. Luckily, she's not too hard to find. To find the Root Mother in Ward 13, Remnant players need to go to west of the checkpoint room (the room with the giant crystal). This is where some other merchants are found, with the Root Mother just down the short flight of stairs.
The reason why the Root Mother is so important is Remnant is because she is how players can upgrade their Dragon Heart. As long as players have 10 Lumenite Crystals and 1 Simulacrum, they can go to the Root Mother and get an additional Dragon Heart. For the uninitiated, the Dragon Heart item in Remnant is the game's equivalent to an Estus Flask from Dark Souls, so it's very important for anyone who wants to succeed at the game.
Upgrading the Dragon Heart is one of the key ways Remnant players will succeed in the game. They will have to upgrade other aspects of their characters as well, though. For example, they will need to upgrade their weapons and armor with Forged Iron, and they will also want to spend Trait Points to improve their base stats.
Remnant: From the Ashes is out now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
