Defense of the NORA settlement. Location of GAIA PRIME.

Hello, everyone.

Continuing where we left off, it's time to go to Mother's Eyes to try to defend the village from the Eclipse soldiers' attack. Remember that when Aloy was captured by Helis, he told her that he had ordered a massive attack on the settlement.

Normally, I would rush at all the enemies I encountered along the way, but this time I opted for stealth, as it's a mechanic I haven't used much in this game.

As I made my way toward the entrance to the mountain, I found a hole which, if I remember correctly, is the one Aloy fell through as a child and ended up in a laboratory where she found her first FARO.

Later on, I reached a point where stealth was no longer an option, and I had to face the Eclipse soldiers. The noise of the battle attracted the attention of the Nora warriors, who did not hesitate to join the fight.

In front of the mountain entrance, I encountered several enemy soldiers accompanied by two Corruptors and a corrupted Thunderer. To make things easier, I used my arrows to knock a mounted weapon off the Thunderer and used it against him and the Corruptors.

Since the weapon still had bullets left, I took the opportunity to shoot into the sky and see how far they would go. In the end, one thing led to another, and I ended up using a disc launcher to shoot at one of the mechanical tentacles emerging from the mountain.

After a brief but well-deserved ovation, I went inside the sanctuary where the three matriarchs were waiting for me. When I met them, I told them almost everything I had discovered during my journey as a seeker and explained that behind them was a door that would lead to another realm of truth.

The matriarchs stepped aside, and as I walked toward the door, the scanner recognized me as Dr. Elisabet Sobeck and the doors opened.

In response to this event, everyone looked at Aloy with astonishment, but she entered the facility with a determined look on her face.

Inside the facility, Aloy discovers that it is an automated breeding system called Elysium Cradle-9. Evidence of servomechanical problems and additional information about the APOLLO project were also found there.

Upon arriving at the control room, a hologram is activated in which GAIA explains that she was forced to self-destruct to prevent HADES from taking control. She also tells him that, faced with the possibility of HADES surviving, she created a subroutine that would be responsible for gestating a clone baby of Dr. Elisabet Sobeck to stop him.

This news affects Aloy, as she finally realizes that her existence was planned as a last resort to restore the system. To fulfill her task, Gaia gives her the location of the GAIA PRIME facility, where she must go to obtain the master reset code, as it is the only way to erase HADES.

Upon leaving the facility, everyone kneels before Aloy, considering her a deity of the ancients. On the one hand, Aloy felt comfortable, as they finally accepted her as one of their own, but on the other hand, she was uncomfortable with being treated as a superior being.
