How to find the Door Code in the Earth and Heaven quest in Horizon Forbidden West Burning Shores

To find the door code, you first need to head back down to the Control room where Seyka is. Then, you need to interact with the Primary Control panel which we've marked on the image below. You can also find it by scanning the room with your Focus, a diamond should appear on the panel itself.

Once you do this, you'll have access to the first Log. This is the key to finding the first digit of the four digit code for the door as it tells you that the code is hidden in the other logs on the holograms of the Asteroids.

Use your Focus to scan the large Hologram of the Earth in the middle of the Control room. You should see several different years pop up below the hologram. You will need to navigate the years using your Focus and the prompted controls on your screen.

One control will increase the year, the other control will lower the year. You will need to navigate through the years to find the correct number using the clues given in the logs.

You need to find the digits in order. We've walked you through figuring out the number itself using each log.

You are actually told the year you need to look under in the first Log, which is 2050. Use your Focus to navigate to 2050 and then look around the Hologram of the world to find the Asteroid around it.

Scan the Asteroid with your Focus to bring up a panel of information. There are several numbers included in the information on this panel, but the one you want is the Flight Number.
