So, from the post-credits scene, one can figure that there was a secondary A.I. race that pre-dated GAIA?
Man, the final boss showdown really is quite disappointing. Getting another Deathbringer after you've already downed 3-4 of them in the game just feels lame. The finale sort of ends up being very "videogame-epic" with the attack on Meridian.
The part before/with the first Stormbird was awesome though.
Forgive me for my ignorance, but does the game ever explain why Rost became an outcast for life? I beat the main story but I don't think I came across anything that explained why Rost got banished.
Thank you!
It is heavily implied, through an optional audio log + Faro and Sobeck's conversation, that Ted Faro himself introduced the glitch as a means to catapult his company to even greater, world-dominating heights. He instructs his engineers to pivot and start manufacturing human-powered weapons and tanks without explanation, alluding to a "growth opportunity."
My understanding is that Gaia's self-destruction damaged Hades enough that it couldn't perform all of its functions. It can't signal to other machines without Sylens' assistance, and it can't activate its "reboot" extinction parameters without reaching the Spire to broadcast a globe-spanning signal (this plays into the final mission).
It would allow the writers to dive deeper into the interpretation of information. Like for the humans there, is that build of Apollo sacred to them? And do they perhaps think that reclaiming earth is their divine purpose?
Gaia self destructed so Hades couldn't get access to her terraforming functions which would make extinction a trivial task, according to Sylens.
Something I'm trying to get straight. Gaia lost control of her sub-facilities, was that the cause for Hades triggering the extinction protocol?
Also the signal that made Gaia lose control of the sub-facilities is never explained right?
I think the collection of logs in that area indicate otherwise. You first have the log where Faro is practically begging his engineer to introduce a backdoor into the chariot-line, this implies that he has discovered the bug and is hoping that it's possible that the introduction of a backdoor to the system could let them kill all the active chariot models before news gets out. The second log you're talking about is him ramping up production of non-machine weapons BECAUSE he understands they need to try contain the glitched machines, at this point he knows about the glitch but the wider public doesn't. The growth opportunity stuff is just a loose cover up for employees. The rest of the logs in that area are similar, him basically looking for ways to fix the problem mixed in with the worlds first reports about oddly acting chariot models.
You can go back to the holy mountain and ask the matriarch, she'll explain it in detail.
Can you just spoil this for me?
that post credit scene tho. still not sure what to make of it.
I have only got as far in the game where you become a 'seeker' I would like to know a could of things:
1) If you grab the plants/twigs etc to craft items, do these plants/twigs grow back, or is there 1000 health plants in the world and once they are picked by Aloy they are gone?
2) Is there any missions/side-missions or areas I should look out for to get the top weapon and armour available?
3) Once the final mission has been completed and the credits role, can you go back into the world and finish off any side-missions that had not been attempted?
4) Are there any encounters that have game changing results, for example when the boy threw a stone at Aloy and she caught the second stone, I decided to throw the stone back knocking another stone out of the boys hand, now when Aloy meets the boy later on he mentions the scar on Aloys head and then she talks about knocking the stone from his hand, now if I had threw the stone and hit his head, I an guessing that he would have a scar and this second encounter would have had a different result and of course dialogue, so is the game like the Fable games where how you act effects how you are perceived by others in the game?
5) What is the best skills to gain first?
I am planning to do as much as I can before taking on the final mission as I won't be returning as I love to get the maximum out of any game through the first play though.
Sony sure loves putting skeleton of people who are from the past who you learn about in audio logs or letters after they have been betrayed while sitting around a table.
Ancient Vessel #3 in Set 2. Not 100% on the location I nabbed it. I was just scrolling through them and seen it. It's a picture of a Helghast head.
Overriden a Sawtooth: Took a Fire Bellowback, a Freeze Bellowback and a second Sawtooth and only lost 1/4 of his life (I helped from the distance of course).
Awe inspiring.
Sylens was playing us all for is own game I guess, After all that he could just take control of Hades with no problem. Hard to say if he is just a warrior that wants to bring back knowledge at all costs, or is he looking for power? I am learning to the prior.
ok so I might not be remembering correctly, but was Apollo working in the All-Mother? Did Faro just make it so that the kids couldn't get into the area to learn, or did he just take it out altogether? From the last couple of missions I had understood that he had nuked the program. But when we went through that door one of the Alphas popped up and said welcome to Apollo. Did it bug out after that? I wonder if Apollo is still out there somewhere, and we could somehow find him. That'd be a cool DLC.

Sylens is looking for knowledge at all costs. I thought he would be a villain too in the next game, but realised he was right to want to find out about the masters who woke Hades up.
The masters as they stand could still find a way to corrupt the Horizon world.
It would be real cliche if it was Ted.
Debunked.In the 4chan leak, it was stated that you can ride. Is that true?Stormbirds at the end of the game
How true was ther 4chan leak?
1) I'm pretty sure everything regrows kinda like how animals respawn after some time or distance traveled.
2) Haven't gotten any top weapons from quest, the best weapons are vendor ones as far as i know.
3) After completing the game it will reset the world to pre last mission.
4) Can't really answer
5)I like the skill where you can nock an extra arrow just to bring mobs quickly into their vulnerable states for extra damage
Best armor is obtainable only before the final main quest by finding the batteria during main quest, best buyable armor is available only after someone gives you a "disguise" late on main questThank you.
What is the best armor and weapon, I would rather save up and get them straight away.
You're about halfway through, maybe a bit more.
Not that I don't believe you, but was there an audio log that confirmed? The game says the Derangement began 15 or 20 years ago when (end-game spoiler)and I thought there was one that mentions the Ravager, Thunderjaw, etc. being developed as part of the "peacekeeper" line for military applications.an alien signal severed the connection between Gaia and Hades and the machines start losing operational commands.
The Derangement said:This is to say nothing of the coming of the Sawtooth or its metal brethren: the Ravager, the Stalker, or the terrible giant the Thunderjaw. Each one has proved a more capable killer of men than the last, each wielding a wider array of strange weapons. The wilds are no longer safe due to the hostility of these new machines, though to date they not attacked a settlement within the Sundom.

By the time You reach Meridian You should have access to all weapons' best versions.
A side quest' gives you three special weapons
The Hunter's Lodge in Meridian awards you a weapon every 15 emblems (half, full and blazing) you earn in the challenges at the Lodge's hunting grounds.Thank you, I have seen a couple of videos about how to obtain the Shield Weaver Armor, can you elaborate on the special weapons?
Do we have a timeline anywhere? I'm still not sure when the game takes place compared to Zero Dawn?
So what's up with the Sun King (AKA skinny Ben Affleck) hitting on Aloy right afterElsa is dead?

I think this was my favorite game I've played in last few years UNTIL that post-credits scene. Yuck...and super anti-climactic. In a world where they do such a great job with details, I wasn't a fan of Sylens magic science box that yanked Hades away from miles away. Or that Hades even survived. Like...why? Why couldn't thr scene just be Sylens talking in front of that giant frozen robot.
I assumed for most of the game that there was another AI out there since there is a whole log about them developing military AI. They were discussed as something you would buy that would learn, grow, and manage your military robots for you. I can't remember their name....It was in very first area where you're starting to learn about things and such.
Anyone got a theory on what the metal flowers are and why they have a triangular growth of flowers around them? I noticed that Dr. Sobeck's body also has the same triangle of flowers around it.
