You’re probably standing in the middle of a tobacco field in El Este, staring at a crumpled photo on your in-game phone, wondering why on earth Ubisoft decided to strip away your HUD markers for this specific mission. Most of Far Cry 6 is a chaotic power trip where the game practically holds your hand toward the next explosion. Then comes Seeds of Love Far Cry 6, a Yaran Story that feels more like a scavenger hunt from a 1990s point-and-click adventure than a modern shooter. It’s jarring. It’s slow. Honestly, it’s one of the most polarizing quests in the game because it forces you to actually look at the world instead of just chasing a yellow dot.
The premise is simple enough. Lorenzo Canseco, the aging Casanova of the Legends of ’67, has a sudden crisis of conscience. He wants to apologize to his seven estranged children scattered across the Sierra Perdida and Conuco regions. He gives you seven polaroids. That’s it. No GPS coordinates. No waypoint. Just your eyes and maybe a vague sense of direction if you’ve been paying attention to the landmarks.
The Problem With the Seeds of Love Far Cry 6 Hunt
Most players hit a wall here. Yarana is huge. Looking for a single person in a dense jungle or a sprawling farm based on a grainy photo is a big ask. It’s a complete shift in gameplay pace. You go from hijacking tanks to squinting at the horizon trying to find a specific thatched roof.
The difficulty isn't just in the lack of markers; it's the geography. El Este is a vertical nightmare. If you don't have the wingsuit or a steady helicopter, you’re going to spend three hours just climbing cliffs.
Tracking Down Lorenzo’s Kids
Let’s get into the nitty-gritty of where these people are actually hiding. You don't have to do them in any specific order, but some are definitely easier to stumble upon than others.
Felipe at the Cemetery
First up is Felipe. He’s at the Todos Santos Cemetery. When you get there, the game tries to spook you with some "ghostly" voices. It’s not a supernatural DLC; it’s just Felipe hiding behind some white-painted stones. He’s used a bit of "ghoul" makeup to stay hidden. Basically, follow the creepy sounds and you'll find him near the back of the graveyard. He’s terrified of his father, which is a recurring theme you’ll notice as you work through the Seeds of Love Far Cry 6 objectives.
Tiago and the Santo Domingo Lockdown
Tiago is in the town of Santo Domingo. This one is annoying because you’ll hear him shouting for help, but he’s locked inside a building. You have to climb the building across from him to get a clear line of sight through a window. Shoot the lock on the door from the outside. It’s a classic Far Cry puzzle trope. Once he’s out, he’s less than thrilled to hear from Lorenzo, but he takes the letter anyway.
Riel and the Flower Hallucinations
Down in the Sierra Perdida, at the Sombreado Garden, you’ll find Riel. Or rather, you’ll find some flowers that trigger a minor hallucination. Follow the visions of the woman. It’s a short trail, and it feels a bit like a stripped-down version of the Faith Seed sequences from Far Cry 5. Once the haze clears, she’s right there.
Juan and the Locked Shed
Juan is located at Perdomo Farm. You’ll find a key on a table under a small thatched roof area. Use it to open the nearby shed. He’s inside, and he’s probably the most bitter of the bunch. Seeing the pattern yet? Lorenzo wasn't exactly Father of the Year.
Camilo and the Ambush
Camilo is at Barriga. This one is actually fun because it involves a fight. When you arrive at the lakeside shack, you’ll find it surrounded by FND soldiers. They’re trying to kick the door down. Clear out the soldiers, and Camilo will let you in. He’s an artist, and he’s busy "creating," which mostly involves being eccentric and ignoring the war outside.
Maricela and the Dog
Head to the Flores Farm. You won't find Maricela immediately. Instead, you’ll find a dog. Pet the dog. Seriously. The dog will lead you to a riverside spot where Maricela is hiding out. It’s a bit of a trek, so keep up with the pup.
Xiomara in Concepción
The last one is Xiomara. She’s in the town of Concepción, specifically in the northwest corner. Look for a girl spray-painting a mural on a rooftop. She’s easy to spot if you’re looking up, but if you’re staying at street level, you might run circles around her for twenty minutes.
Why This Mission Actually Matters for Your Loadout
You might be wondering why you’re wasting time playing courier for an old man’s regrets. Aside from the XP, the real prize here is the Krateos charm. Is it game-breaking? No. But for the completionists, it’s a badge of honor. More importantly, finishing Seeds of Love Far Cry 6 is a prerequisite for some of the better late-game narrative payoffs in the El Este region. It fleshes out Lorenzo’s character, turning him from a caricature of a revolutionary into a flawed, deeply regretful human being.
It’s also a great way to force yourself to discover fast-travel points. By the time you’ve tracked down all seven kids, you’ll have unlocked most of the hidden camps in the southern part of the map.
Navigating the Frustration
If you’re struggling, stop trying to use the in-game map. It’s useless for this. Use the landmarks in the photos. Look for the shape of the mountains. Look for the specific color of the buildings.
One thing people often miss: the "clues" aren't just visual. Listen to the NPCs in the areas. Sometimes they’ll mention a "crazy artist" or "the girl with the spray paint." The game gives you the info, it just refuses to put a waypoint on it. It’s a bold choice for a series known for cluttering the screen with icons.
Strategic Shortcuts
- Bring a Helicopter: Seriously. A Buzzard or a small helicopter with rockets makes this quest 90% faster. You can land on the roofs or in the small clearings near the farms.
- Check the Photos Constantly: Pull up the quest items in your inventory. The photos are actually quite detailed once you zoom in.
- Clear the Air Defenses: Before you start this, make sure you’ve taken out the anti-aircraft cannons in El Este. Nothing ruins a scavenger hunt like being blown out of the sky by a flak cannon.
This quest represents the "old school" side of Far Cry. It’s about exploration. It’s about actually being a "guerrilla" who knows the land instead of just a tourist with a GPS. It might be tedious at times, but there’s a genuine sense of satisfaction when you find that last kid without looking up a map online.
Actionable Steps for Completion
- Unlock the Wingsuit: Don't even attempt this without the wingsuit. The travel time between the farms and mountain hideouts will kill your interest in the mission.
- Focus on Concepción First: Since Xiomara is in a major urban area, she’s often the easiest to find while you’re doing other main story missions in El Este.
- Use the "Guerrilla Sense": It won't highlight the kids from a mile away, but it helps pick out interactive objects like the key at Perdomo Farm or the dog at Flores Farm.
- Listen for Audio Cues: Several children (Tiago, Felipe) are found via sound rather than sight. Turn your master volume up or use headphones to track the shouting or the "ghost" whispers.
Once you deliver that last letter, head back to Lorenzo. The reward isn't just the gear; it's the closure for one of the game's more complex side characters. You’re done with the hunting. You can go back to blowing up tanks now.
