Remnant 2's The Dark Horizon DLC introduces a host of unusual quest items, one of which is called the Crop Sample. It's a blue, pod-like plant that the game describes as something you've never seen before, being both warm and making screeching sounds. While it's not going to give your position away, you might wonder what to do with the crop sample in Remnant 2 when you discover this strange blue plant and where you can find it.

Players who want to unlock Warden, an archetype in Remnant 2's The Dark Horizon DLC, can find all the informatoin they need here.
While the Crop Sample's location isn't too tricky to find once you know where to look in Remnant 2's The Dark Horizon DLC, figuring out what to do with the crop sample is a whole different matter and introduces players to a type of choice scenario.
Crop Sample Location In Remnant 2 The Dark Horizon DLC
To find the Crop Sample, you must travel to a dungeon in The Dark Horizon DLC called the Detritus Foundry, located on the eastern side of the Agronomy Sector. You'll need to progress through the early stages of the Agronomy Sector before using a glider to reach this part of the map. Once inside the Detritus Foundry, you can find the Crop Sample, located in a circular room not far from the World Stone dungeon entrance point, as pictured on the map above.
This zone is heavily guarded, so use caution when approaching the area. If you're traveling through the dungeon from a different side, watch out for Remnant 2' s N'Erudian Reaper, the main boss of the Detritus Foundry dungeon. Defeating this boss also rewards you with the Replication Pod, a crafting material to construct the Harvester Bots weapon mod that gives siphons enemies, granting 1% of base damage dealt as Lifesteal per stack, which stacks up to five times.
What To Do With Crop Sample In Remnant 2 The Dark Horizon DLC
Once you have Remnant 2's Crop Sample in hand, there are several things you can do with it and there are at least three different choices to pick from in total, as outlined below:
Choice One - Red Statue
You can take the Crop Sample into the room below the spot where you found it. You can access this via the nearby elevator as pictured on the map above. This takes you to a central atrium with a red and a blue statue on each side. However, you can only plant the Crop Sample by one statue - red or blue. There is also a nearby recording to play next to a corpse, which outlines how you have a choice to make with different possible outcomes.
If you decide to plant the Crop Sample next to the red statue by interacting with the soil and selecting the Crop Sample, you'll have to fight a mini-boss called The Inverted Shambler. However, it might not appear straight away as a possible time-delay puzzle and secret in the Remnant 2 The Dark Horizon DLC. In this case, try exiting to the main menu and re-enter the zone again. As soon as you approach the red statue this time, the Inverted Shambler appears along with other possible enemies from the room above. You'll have to beat the Inverted Shambler to pick up the Repercussion Mutator as a reward. The video below shows how to reach the statue room and what happens when you pick the red statue choice:
After the fight, the Crop Sample notably disappears, so it seems it might be the case that you can only plant it once, so choose carefully. However, this is yet to be confirmed.
The Repercussion Mutator increases ranged damage by 3% with a max of x5 stacks. Irrespective of which statue you choose, you can also pick up one of Remnant 2's Amulets called Quantum Memory near the corpse, which reloads your equipped firearm when performing a combat slide, with a Perfect Dodge reloading both guns, along with some other collectibles and goodies in the nearby chest, like a Health Regeneration Relic Fragment.
Choice Two - Blue Statue
Alternatively, you could plant the Crop Sample next to the blue statue in the same room to get the Gossamer Heart as a reward, a Relic that increases your evasion window by one. This is undoubtedly the easier option of the two choices, as you won't have to fight anything to get it. Again, you might need to exit to the main menu and re-load the area for it to spawn.
Choice Three - Give The Crop Sample To The Cook At Ward 13
A third option is to take the Crop Sample back to Ward 13 and give it to Duane the cook near the World Stone. Some players report this unlocks the Numbing Agent, a consumable that increases the amount of damage you can take before chipping into gray health. You can also grab the Chef Amulet on returning.
Some players are also reporting that you can plant the Crop Sample in the garden at Ward 13. However, the outcome of this decision currently remains unknown.
