So I did it, I beat Horizon: Forbidden West and now I’m left with that empty feeling inside that I get whenever I finish any game I love. Luckily I still have to finish up a few of the core character side quests. Then I have Burning Shores and Frozen Wilds I haven’t played yet.
My Horizon End Game Thoughts (Major Spoilers)
I sat though the whole end credits when Aloy was flying over the entire game map just hoping she would land somewhere cool and one last cutscene would play. Unfortunately that didn’t happen, but it was still beautiful to watch.
I was so sad when I returned to the base and all my friends were gone, save for Beta and Gaia. Luckily I was able to do a sidequest with Alva after that. I think I just have one more quest with Zo to wrap up as well. I’ll do these before I go to Butning Shores. I’m excited to spend more time with Selens (I hope). I missed seeing him throughout the campaign. He was just in the beginning and the end really. He’s waiting for me at Tilda’s to start the quest. He can wait a little longer.
Prior to the last mission I didn’t want to kill Regalla and would rather she join the final battle. But I really wanted her bow (I looked up the outcomes of the decisions). So in my head cannon, she dies on the battlefield in some form of redemption AND I still get her sick bow.
As for Nemesis…what the actual fuck. Aloy can’t catch a break. Horizon 3 can’t come soon enough. I really really hope it finally has coop. Beta can learn to be like Aloy right? I really thought Varl was going to be set up to be your coop companion in Horizon 3.
When I beat Burning Shores I’m going to have to go back and finally finish Frozen Wilds. Or maybe I’ll do Frozen Wilds first. Haven’t decided yet. For now I’m basking in it all.
Anyway, what’re you all playing? Let’s hear it!
Yea the tears on land I got them. There are some others apparently … maybe underground or in the sky. I noticed I have some empty movie trailers still so that’s why I think that. I actually hate underground… can’t see shit and then the gloom creatures steal your heart containers and you have this hassle of finding a light source to heal or making meals etc… I am willing to bet that there are tears to find underground even though I cannot see a thing. There is also the pirate village I need to visit. I’ve been skating around its edges but I suppose I’m near ready for it. There are actually a few weird things going on that are side quests that I have no idea where to activate them. So tons to do still even though I’m close to fighting Ganon.
Hmm… I can give you a general idea about Tears, if you want. There are 10 in total, and you will know when you have gotten them all. The quest will complete.
I finished the game today, and still have tons of stuff to do. Working on side quests now.
Yea I had it where I got to ride the light dragon which is actually princess zelda. So I got that far but not every single video in my archive is accounted for so I was thinking maybe there are other points of interest I have to get to in order to play out those short movie clips. I’m actually trying to do the deku tree right now… just visiting areas where I haven’t been yet… there’s a shit ton discover… I’m not thrilled about exploring the underworld though. If you want to give me general tips on stuff I won’t mind. Just no major spoilers.
So many spoilers! You should add them in spoiler tag.
Rest of the movies aren’t Tears. You’ll get them if you keep playing the main quest.
