Faro Renewed: The Great Delusion.
I bypassed some turbine fans to enter Thebes, discovering a gymnasium and a surprisingly fancy survival bunker. After I opened the bunker door for the Quen, Ceo appeared dressed as Ted Faro. He forced Aloy to wear Elizabeth Sobeck’s ancient raiment before they descended further into the facility.
There was this fan that was pushing me behind, so I was not able to get to a vent. I looked for an alternative way and found a console to stop the fan. And I had to do a similar thing once more to move ahead.
Here at last, I arrived inside Thebes and found myself in a gymnasium area. It looked quite ancient, reflecting the old-world fitness culture that Ted Faro had preserved in his bunker.
I had to look for a way to let the Quen in, so I started exploring. After passing a living area, I reached a big place that looked pretty fancy for a survival bunker.
There I noticed a console for the bunker door that I had to activate to let the Quen in. I worked on the interface to override the locks and grant them access.
After opening the gate, Alva noticed Bohai was there to appreciate her work. Bohai mentioned Ceo was preparing to enter Thebes now that the path was finally cleared for their entrance.
Then Ceo came out dressed like Ted Faro, which annoyed Aloy. Ceo mentioned he was Faro renewed, as his essence remained the same as Faro's across the generations.
When Ceo said they would descend together, he asked his people to bring Aloy the raiment. This was an ancient suit belonging to Elizabeth Sobeck that Aloy initially refused to wear.
Ceo threatened Aloy for her life when she refused to wear it, so she had to accept the outfit after Alva asked her to. She did it just to see what would happen next in the mission.
Aloy changed into that outfit and came out looking like Elizabeth Sobeck. Though she did not have her bow in the cinematic part, it suddenly appeared on her back as I moved ahead.
After getting inside the inner chamber, I found this big statue of Ted Faro. I noticed Ceo and Ted Faro looked remarkably alike, further fueling Ceo's strange delusion.
The next post will be coming soon. Screenshots are my take from the game and I took the game logo that I used on the thumbnail picture from online.
SEE YOU.

HIVE coin is currently at a critically low liquidity. It is strongly suggested to withdraw your funds while you still can.
You handled the environmental puzzles smoothly, showing patience and attention to detail while bypassing those turbines, which made the entry feel strategic.
Those turbines were stressful, but figuring out the safe path was satisfying.
Navigating through the gymnasium and survival bunker while keeping the story’s suspense intact was impressive. I bet you were not expecting Ceo with that outfit either.
I definitely did not expect Ceo to show up like that, it caught me completely off guard.
The moment Ceo appeared dressed as Ted Faro was honestly disturbing. You could feel how uncomfortable Aloy was. Forcing her to wear Elisabet Sobeck’s raiment was the worst part.
I could tell Aloy wanted out of that situation as fast as possible. She also needed the omega clearance so she was just playing along.
This whole section inside Horizon Forbidden West felt creepy. Stopping the fans and slowly entering Thebes built great tension. The gym and luxury bunker showed how twisted Ted Faro really was. It felt less like exploration and more like uncovering a dark secret hidden for centuries.

It honestly felt less like exploring ruins and more like digging into buried guilt.
Ceo's obsession with Faro really added tension to the scene. I liked how the mission mixed exploration with high-stakes story moments.
Ceo's behavior kept the atmosphere uncomfortable in a good storytelling way.
Thebes look amazing with all that old-world detail. Like, that gymnasium was a surprisingly cool find. I gotta mention, the ancient raiment added a nice cinematic touch.
Thank you. Thebes really surprised me with how detailed everything felt, especially that gymnasium area.
