Echo Weaver Ivo Guide: Seed Locations and Quest Fixes

Echo Weaver Ivo Quest: Where to Plant the Seeds

Ivo’s seed quest can stall your loop when you mistake a waiting requirement for a missing planting spot. This Echo Weaver Ivo guide covers the four regular seed locations, the secret Ocean planting spot, and the dialogue fixes that make the timing easier to follow. Use the Echo Weaver Ivo checklist below to plan your next delivery before collecting another seed.

You can plant only one seed per loop, and each successive seed takes two bells longer to spawn. Keep those rules separate: one limits planting within a loop, while the other affects when the next seed becomes available.

The regular locations take you from Ivo’s room through Central Comms and into the Cathedral. The secret location adds an Ocean delivery involving spikes, fruit, and careful item handling.

Seed	Planting location	Landmark to look for
First seed	Ivo’s room	The room where you meet him
Second seed	Top of Central Comms	The upper part of Central Comms
Third seed	Courtyard	Beyond where you find Nova
Fourth seed	Third floor of the Cathedral	Behind the Red Door
Secret seed	Ocean	Left of where you spawn, among spikes

Use this table as a destination checklist. Before taking a seed, identify its planting location and review the route there. That matters especially for the Ocean delivery, where the seed disappears quickly and your preparation needs to happen beforehand.

Ivo also has a map marker, added in version 1.0.0.63. Check the map when planning your return instead of relying entirely on memory.

Expect location and quest spoilers below, including the secret planting sequence.

Seed Timing: One Planting per Loop

The central Echo Weaver Ivo timing problem is knowing whether to wait longer or return in another loop. Repeatedly talking to Ivo without tracking your last planting makes those two situations easy to confuse.

Version 1.0.0.66 added dialogue explaining how long to wait and whether that waiting belongs in the current loop or the next one. Read that instruction closely whenever you return to him.

Timing rule	What it means for your route
Only one seed can be planted per loop	Schedule separate planting trips across loops
Each successive seed takes two bells longer to spawn	Allow for a longer wait as the quest advances
Ivo’s dialogue explains the required wait in 1.0.0.66	Follow his instruction about the current or next loop
Same-loop conversation after planting was fixed in 1.0.0.66	Talk to grumpy Ivo again after planting his seed

The two-bell increase describes the additional wait between successive seeds. Avoid turning it into a guessed schedule for every delivery. Use Ivo’s current dialogue to decide when to return.

Keep a short note after each planting:

• Which seed you planted.
• Which location you used.
• What Ivo said about the next wait.
• Whether he directed you to remain in the current loop or return in another.

That checklist keeps your next action clear without requiring you to remember an entire conversation while navigating the ruins.

Time also pays for more than travel in Echo Weaver. Healing, trading, and opening routes draw on the loop’s remaining time. Plan your seed delivery around those demands, and practice unfamiliar movement before making the delivery attempt.

For the Echo Weaver Ivo quest, separate route preparation from collection. Visit the destination, identify the approach, and then collect the seed when you are ready to carry it there.

Finding the Four Regular Planting Spots

The regular Echo Weaver Ivo seed locations provide a practical order for organizing your trips. Start with the nearby planting, then prepare for the destinations farther along your exploration route.

First Seed: Ivo’s Room

Plant the first seed in Ivo’s own room. Keep this delivery local rather than searching elsewhere for a planting destination.

After planting, speak to Ivo again and read the next timing instruction. Version 1.0.0.66 fixed the problem that prevented conversation with grumpy Ivo during the same loop in which you planted his seed.

Use this first delivery to establish your tracking habit: record the completed location and the next wait before leaving.

Second Seed: Top of Central Comms

The second planting spot is at the top of Central Comms.

Scout the upward route before collecting the seed. Identify where you need to climb and rehearse any section that repeatedly costs you time. Then make the delivery with the destination already familiar.

Keep your attention on the top of the area; searching lower rooms adds travel without bringing you to this planting spot.

Third Seed: Courtyard Beyond Nova

The third seed belongs in the courtyard, beyond where you find Nova.

Use Nova’s courtyard location as your landmark, then continue beyond it to find the planting destination. Keep that landmark tied to the courtyard rather than following Nova through her other quest locations.

Check the planting area before returning to Ivo. A quick scouting trip can spare you a search while carrying the seed.

Fourth Seed: Cathedral Third Floor

The fourth regular planting location is on the Cathedral’s third floor, behind the Red Door.

Treat the floor and door as a paired landmark. Reaching the Cathedral alone leaves plenty of room for a wrong turn; the destination is specifically behind that door.

Review your route through the building before collecting the seed. Keep other Cathedral objectives on a separate checklist so this delivery has a clear destination.

For the regular Echo Weaver Ivo route, track completion by planting location. That gives you a concrete record when the next wait becomes longer or another quest pulls your attention elsewhere.

Secret Ocean Seed: Prepare the Fruit Before Collecting

The secret seed’s planting spot is in the Ocean, left of where you spawn, among spikes. This delivery combines a short-lived seed with an item you can lose sight of when you do not have your glaive.

An invisible fruit can still be picked up. Remember exactly where you leave it, then use the interact button at that spot when you return.

Finish the regular plantings before tackling this optional delivery. Prepare the Ocean fruit placement first, then collect the seed and complete the trip.

Stage	Action	Detail to remember
Prepare	Bring a fruit into the Ocean	Do this before collecting Ivo’s seed
Position	Carry the fruit over to the thorns	Remember the exact drop location
Drop	Call the glaive with the regular glaive throw button	This drops the fruit instead of hurling it
Collect	Return to Ivo for the seed	Keep the Ocean route ready
Retrieve	Return to the Ocean and interact where you left the fruit	You can pick it up while it is invisible
Plant	Eat the fruit, pick up the seed, dash in, cancel invincibility, and plant	Follow the sequence through the spike approach

The preparation stage deserves as much attention as the final dash. Place the fruit deliberately near the thorns and memorize the spot. Searching for an invisible item wastes the short window available for the seed delivery.

When you return carrying the seed, retrieve and eat the fruit, then pick the seed back up. Continue into the spike section, cancel invincibility, and plant.

Keep the final interaction in mind during practice. The sequence includes canceling invincibility before planting; reaching the destination is only part of the delivery.

For this part of the Echo Weaver Ivo quest, rehearse the approach before collecting the seed. Focus on the fruit’s position, the spike route, and the planting sequence so the actual attempt has fewer decisions to make.

Ivo Quest Bugs, Dialogue Fixes, and Achievement Timing

Several early Ivo problems received specific fixes. Check your installed version when a conversation or item exchange behaves strangely, especially if you are following instructions written around launch.

The relevant changes span versions 1.0.0.63, 1.0.0.64, and 1.0.0.66.

Version	Ivo-related change	Practical effect
1.0.0.63	Added Ivo’s map marker	Helps you locate him while routing
1.0.0.64	Fixed reports of Ivo being unavailable for conversation at the end of his quest	Addresses the end-of-quest interaction problem
1.0.0.64	Moved the achievement trigger to the qualifying action	Removes the need for the previously missable follow-up conversation
1.0.0.66	Added clearer waiting dialogue	Explains the wait and which loop it belongs in
1.0.0.66	Corrected All-Knowing Ivo taking the glaive and giving a seed	Removes that erroneous exchange
1.0.0.66	Fixed conversation with grumpy Ivo after planting in the same loop	Restores that same-loop conversation

All-Knowing Ivo taking your glaive and handing over a seed was a bug. Version 1.0.0.66 corrected it. Keep that old behavior separate from the intended seed-delivery instructions.

The achievement change also matters when checking completion. Since version 1.0.0.64, Ivo’s achievement triggers when you perform its qualifying action, rather than requiring another conversation afterward. The earlier follow-up requirement could be missed.

When the quest seems stuck, review the concrete checkpoints:

• Check whether you already planted a seed during this loop.
• Read Ivo’s instruction about how long to wait.
• Confirm whether that wait belongs in the current or next loop.
• Verify the destination against your planting checklist.
• Check your version against the relevant conversation or exchange fix.

Use these checks to identify the next step before repeating a delivery. A completed planting, a longer spawn wait, and an interaction bug each call for a different response.

FAQ

Why won’t Ivo give me another seed?

You can plant only one seed per loop, and each successive seed takes two bells longer to spawn. In version 1.0.0.66, Ivo’s dialogue explains the required wait and whether it belongs in the current loop or the next one.

Where are all the Echo Weaver Ivo seed locations?

The four regular locations are Ivo’s room, the top of Central Comms, the courtyard beyond where you find Nova, and the Cathedral’s third floor behind the Red Door. The secret planting spot is in the Ocean, left of where you spawn, among spikes.

How do I pick up invisible fruit in the Ocean?

Press the interact button where you left it. The fruit remains available to pick up even when you cannot see it without your glaive. Memorize its position during preparation so you can retrieve it quickly during the secret seed delivery.

Do I need to talk to Ivo again for the achievement?

Since version 1.0.0.64, the achievement triggers when you perform the qualifying action. The earlier requirement to return for another conversation was removed because that interaction could be missed.
