The Horizon Forbidden West Death's Door code revealed

The Horizon Forbidden West Death's Door code isn't far away from the door, but it's not easily found, especially if you're not used to this kind of puzzle. The code is actually in a data point close to hand, but you wouldn't necessarily know that, especially if you've been skimming over them recently.

This is a puzzle that'll start coming up across the game - you may have even encountered it before this - and is especially prevalent in the Horizon Forbidden West Relic Ruins puzzles, so it's worth keeping in your mind going forward. For those who want further details, we'll reveal the Death's Door Code in Horizon Forbidden West below. Open sesame!

What is the Horizon Forbidden West Death's Door code?

Horizon Forbidden West Death's Door code 7482

The Horizon Forbidden West Death's Door code appears while exploring Latopolis after you find HADES and Sylens. That will get you the Firegleam Ignitor upgrade to deal with the Horizon Forbidden West red crystal growths and get you inside the world facility.

After a lot of exploring, climbing and jumping around a flooded base you'll eventually reach a locked door that needs a code. If you turn around and look directly behind you from the terminal, you'll see a door opposite. Look in there and you'll find a data point you can scan with this message:

If you haven't done many of the Ruin puzzles we mentioned you might not know that door codes are nearly always semi hidden in messages - any mention of a number in a data point note is usually a code. So that 'Sovereign 7482' is exactly what you're after.

Pop the 7482 number in the terminal and you'll have the door code sorted, and the way opened. You're now free to move on and see what's next, and if you get stuck on any other door codes later, just remember to check for any notes and messages you can scan nearby.
