To be honest.. part of him probably pissed off she was able to find out everything in what seems like minutes compared to him spending his entire life searching for answers and getting nowhere. It was all laid out for Aloy. Like he said.. "He was merely trespassing."

The shocking thing is that its still happening to this day

@@mgstriker7755 People follow religion like it's the same as being spiritual or having fate. It's not at all the same. Religion is a crap invented by humans and spirituality is something we all have in us.

Well they saw some strange stuff they can’t explain which gave the only matriarch that supports aloy an upper hand and proved her right. Which enabled aloy to actually go to that door. And remember that door was sacred for them. And SHE OPENED IT. So it makes sense. Also it definitely didn’t happened in an hour

@@tardelius5778 "This isn't a goddess, *it's a door"* killed me at the start of the game 😂

Pretty silly yeah. I loved the story of the game, but hated killing all the robots

They all had weak spots In the armor and Aloy was a deadly shooter.

@@robertotamayoiii1434 yep, I dont get why people complain about arrows killing robots. Shoot Watcher in its eye with a strong arrow and it will die. Shoot slightly next to its eye and it will make no damage.

Robot Jurassic Park without being silly

I thought it was pretty “silly” too at first, until I understood the story, pretty much us humans are ancient beings to aloy’s time I thought that was a pretty good setting especially with the robots one of the best story concepts I ever seen

i did. Was like clone or cyrofrozen daughter.

At first, I thought she'd be the daughter, at least till our genetic match was over 95% at the door when you first check it. That would not be the case if it was a daughter and if she grew up that would make her a clone. But yes, very obvious plot point but even so the game is still amazing.

majority of people thought she was an orphan

Lived up to the hype for me. Speak for yourself there buddy

"There is nothing new under the sun". If you are always looking for something that has never been done before, and just slap everything that follows or looks similar to what has been done before as a bad game.. then i doubt you'd find alot of things in life enjoyable. If you didn't enjoy the game then its probably just because you belong in the small minority who cannot really relate to it, and there is nothing wrong with that, thats your experience and should just move on. personally and i believe for alot of people as well this game was indeed quite a blast to play. yes it did not bring anything new to the table but the execution was well done. The issues brought out in this game is also quite significant to current events. what with every car company starting to build their own "self-driving/learning" cars. the advent of AI and how far humanity will take it is actually quite an important topic for our generation onwards. (while i know there are plenty of sci-fi media out there that alrdy tapped this topic, i still found that zero-dawn dealt with it in a good way.) and while most people probably ignored it, i really did enjoy reading all the data files scattered around the game. If i had a complaint, it's that i really wanted more of this game than what it gave, which i think is a good thing. -edited for typos

Boyke Frederick Thank you sir, I've been questioned what put baby Aloy out of the Cradle

Tyson Pham you're welcome :)

Boyke Frederick Can't be... Project Zero Dawn was started around 2100. It was stated that Dr. Sobeck died 497 years ago. so how can it be 3021?

Fuarian no, the project was finished around the 60's (GAIA is transferred to GAIA Prime on 2066). The datalog I mentioned earlier also stated that the Cradle where Aloy was born finished it tasks in 2326 by releasing its inhabitants before suspended all operations only to woken up 700 years later by GAIA's order to make Aloy. I don't remember finding a datalog that stated the numbers you wrote, at least not yet. I'm still on a journey to collect every last of 'em :)

Dude you've just answered a lot of questions for me thanks!! U knw your shit bro

Avenger Of Fredom yep shes my favorite character in the game.

I consider her as Aloy's Grandma

I since my first play through I've called Teresa grandma😂😂

The last lesson Rost gave her. Rost, the best father in videogames. Period.

I think GAIA said she used a zygote, meaning Aloy was originally a unique person at the cellular level but then altered enough to match Sobec.

Elisabet is both her mother and father in a way. Because instead of 50% DNA from mum and 50% from Dad she;s had both halves of her DNA from one person.

The thing I thought was GIGA put her eggs in one basket because to make such plan work. Because all it had to take was one cold or a something else to kill Aloy or her plan was fucked.

In just 2 days you finished the whole freaking game?

chobitsgnarlslover me too i just finished the game awhile ago that feels

Upcycle Shoes most people probably didn't see when it showed up so maybe were or will be surprised

You know it's a clone but you don't know why at this point. Why is the important question.

Slug Overlord She's not a clone. She's a reconstruction.

+Fuarian same thing

+sombodi200 Actually he is kinda right. She is not completely a clone. She was formed from a Zygote which GAIA altered the DNA of to match cauldron recognition enough to allow her access to. Keep in mind the zygote that formed the original Dr. Sobec was not available (obviously). All this meaning, Aloy originally was a unique person with a distinct father and mother who's sperm+oocyte(part of the egg) was stored via project ELEUTHIA (but was then altered by GAIA to match Dr. Sobec enough). So technically, she isn't a complete clone, but she is close enough to be one. ...At least, that's how I put the pieces together from listening to those audio logs.

Show Matriarch Teersa first. She is nice and reasonably open minded. I have noticed that Lansra opposes everything Teersa is for while Jezza is always sitting on the fence.

Í think the things left open or skimmed over were done deliberately so, so they can be dealt with in the sequel.

I respectfully disagree. Dispite here abilites Gaia is defennatly NOT a godess, she is not a devine or supernatural being in any way and she certenly won't be reciving the Aloy in the afterlife. And I for one think that carrying on this lie in grossly immoral.

Well first, she is going to need to gather people with technological aptitude to rebuild Gaia. Also If Aloy manages to fix Apollo, she will most definitely have to show the Nora about their history. That is knowledge you don’t want to hide. But I feel some Nora will reject this truth and try to convince others that it’s all a lie. Especially Lansra, you know she gon stir up a whole heap of shit and put fear into some people. But I’m hoping if Apollo is fixed, Aloy can convince Nora parents (if they are willing or at their own leisure) to invite the children into the facility and begin their school lessons like they were suppose to so many years ago. Aloy is gonna have to do a whole lot of talking and convincing for the Nora to accept. It won’t be easy.

Allmother can kiss my a$$. People in this game are stupid. And it's beyond Aloy to rectify them . She can't make them understand all these things. Because they chose to be stupid. I would rather leave them to their madness and their misunderstanding.

ya this game is unbelievable it's a master pese Sony is all ways the best video game company

@@badreedinedjellali1328 idk about all that lol but the game is very good

Bruh. The characters in this game are stupid and bland. Only the plot and idea of this game is cool.

@@doge2629 Its one of the best game storys ever written, You clearly did not play it, or are authistic and unable to proces and feel human emotion. The ending was just Wow

lol i know i'm late but yeah the character realized he was being a complete dick.

Sylens is savage for no reasons sometimes, but he realized he was being a bit harsh to her so he change it to "where you were born"

Gaia probably made that avatar herself. Zero Dawn was but a seed in the form of the most advanced AI humanity ever built. While they were making sure the subordinate functions operated as intended Gaia herself was being tested and refined to operate these functions accordingly this required communication for which the AI made an avatar for itself. As you saw it was constantly shifting, changing colors and themes. Even after 100 years Gaia is still evolving. Well until she blew herself up.

Jose Rodriguez wait I'm not the only one who has feelings for her damn thank god if you wanna know my story add on fb just search my name and let's chat about it.

I think girls have crush on her too. She is too beautiful. I think EVERYONE have cursh on her.

Sziámi Harcoshal Amen

I played with a side story i made where i was a tiny human following her journey, from today and got shrunk somehow, she wouldn't let go alone after her journey ended, but we were good friends, i had knowledge from the world until 2037

I do too but only because the actress that does her voice is also cassie cage's from mkx 😍

They allude to it, notice how they are obsessed by the Sun and Mother...

Those kids became the ancestors of the different tribes in the game. Nora, Carja, Oseram, Banuk

What I've understood by reading the old scriptures and datapoints; the teenage kids who were released into the wilds are the ones who became the Nora. As we know, the Nora considers the mountain to be sacred and worships a goddess known as All Mother. This may be related to the fact that they came from the cradle facility inside the mountain (Eleuthia 9) and that they were raised by a multiservitor they called mother. And as they procreated, maybe the knowledge they shared about the mountain and their 'mother' to their offsprings got reinterpreted into what is know today as the Nora 'religion'. About the Carja, there was once a curious Nora man who was fascinated by the Old Ones and their world of metal. He wandered in the ruins in search for answers just like Sylens did. There he found writings from the Old Ones about how they studied the Sun to give them knowledge about stuffs like time or position/directions (north, west, etc). But it was considered taboo by the Nora to go into the ruins and he was eventually outcasted. He then gathered some followers and traveled away from the sacred lands into the west where the Sun shone down the Spire, making it cast a long shadow which the outcasts followed to a mesa, which is now known as Meridian. That man who guided them there became the first Sun King. This explains why the Carja worships the sun and how the royal family came to be.

@@Trojanpige Holy crap.

I love that scene in the beginning when Aloy is like: "This is not a goddess, this is a door!"

it's now on pc

Tushar Mhawarkar it was probably all Gaia’s doing.

A servitor obviously put the baby outside the door, withdrew back inside and the door sealed shut. The Matriarchs weren’t there to see it. But heard the infant’s cries.

Did you see the after credits scene? Sequal material!

The credits first had me weeping as the game was over which made me super sad, and the ending part with Aloy going to the ranch while Elisabet talked to GAIA was so sad I was in tears X( Also, the Brin guy and Sylen were talking about the "Unforgiving West" and I feel that a sequel might be there if we get lucky. I need one because this game has me to invested to these great characters and tbh I have a crush for Aloy. She's pretty, strong, understanding, and selfless.

Blue Gator Yeah I had the exactly same feeling as yours. The ending conversation between GAIA and Elisabet was soulful.

TheRedPuppyDog tbh I hate the post credit scene. There was enough open ends to warrant for a second game but that ending was just cheap. You killed it! Plot Twist: Oh no wait you didn't!

TheAbysslMonsterDog YES! I would like to see more of Silens and HADES to tell us more.

Late reply. I don’t think Gaia had much choice. There were three limitations on her capabilities to kickstart a contingency plan. The first is how much genetic material she had to work with. The second would be the time it takes to get multiple projects like this started while prepping the self-destruct sequence and keeping the sub programs from immediately running wild. The third would be the location of the closest cradle facilities. All-mother Mountain was the only cradle facility in the Denver area, close enough to the Gaia Prime facility that it wouldn’t be unreasonable for someone to get to it. Who knows where the closest cradle after that is. Was it a serious gamble? Hell yeah. But she didn’t have much choice and she had faith in Elisabet. I don’t think the thought that the clone might not be the same as Elisabet ever crossed her mind. Who knows how much she understands the nature vs. nurture debate.

I'm of the same mind, that it was a poor choice to have the PZD Alphas put all of humanity's knowledge into one system and not have a back-up or a master restore in mind. When Ted Ferro wiped APOLLO, they should have had a contingency in place so that somewhere down the line -- and not by Aloy -- somehow the system back up could be activated. I acctually have a small idea for how I'd do this if I was writing the story.

I don't even think it is permanently deleted. nothing can be. I think this is what Sylens is after.

I don't know. In the end these new humans didn't need the relics of the past. They were able to build new cultures and civilisations. They're not perfect, but its not like the old ones were living in some kind of Star Trek utopia either. Lying Ted made a fortune selling war machines after all.

DH SAUD Gaia did not create Hades. Hades was created by the same scientists that created Gaia. Hades was build as a safety precaution if Gaia would rebuild the world wrongly. Hades job was to correct Gaia's mistakes. Unfortunately, Hades was activated without a mistake being made by Gaia. Gaia, as protector and mother of life, sacrificed "herself" to safe all life on earth. Before she followed protocol she made one last drastic decision. She created Aloy from the DNA she gathered from Elisabeth. After that, many years went by. At a certain point someone found the remains of Hades and reactivated "him." Hence why he is the main threat in the game. So... after getting all that out of the way. To add to your comment. Technically speaking. Hades would be the uncle of Aloy XP

In greek mythology that is what true, but not in this game

@@bmoon9007 still you're wrong tho. You agreed to the original comment about _mother_ and _brother._ But in Greek myth, Gaia was Hades' grandmother.

I don't know if you'll get this but there's a KZfaqr called Random Sidequest that has a bunch of HZD lore videos

Hades was only there in case Gaia made the world wrongfully. Gaia made Aloy from Dr Sobecks DNA as a countermeasure in case Hades somehow is resurrected. I don't remember the year. Then Sylens found Hades and that's when Aloy was born.. April 3021 or something like that. Matriarchs found her, gave her to Rost and the rest is history.

Jabari Cook They are - presumably - the founding members, as they are somehow obsessed by their mother and the Sun, gods of Nora and Carja, and are taught to be "brave".

All of the subordinate functions (subprograms) of GAIA were turned into Self-Aware A.I.s when the signal from the "outside source" transformed HADES. HEPHAESTUS was one of those A.I.s, and the rest are somewhere, out in the world of HZD. With the exception of APOLLO, which had been wiped by Ted Fero before he murdered the Alpha Primes.

Kinda late but, the facility released them because it ran out of food, the natural progression should have had them gaining access to the Apollo learning system and then getting released after learning enough, but since apollo was offline they were essentially stuck in kindergarten until there was no food left.

@@defenderofthebrave that was so creepy. You could tell that without Apollo the caretakers only had a basic caretaking program for young children to fall back on, so they kept treatimg them like toddlers, even when they were adults. No wonder the "kids" went a little nuts.

In the beginning of the game, when Aloy first enters the Nora big village. You can listen to a matriarch telling the story of the past "as they think it happened". They became distrustful of machines because of their religion. I guess when the first childs got out of the mountain, they stayed near it because they knew nothing more and thus this was sacred and what they didn't know was forbidden and cursed.

I think the caretakers might have bewn programmed to tell them a bit of what happened, though the story got a bit twisted in thw telling.

yes, Gaia "birthed" 1 baby with the genetics of Elisabet in response to the virus that woke up the other ais

Yea

No

Also Tiny Tina from Borderlands 2

Yes, they never touched on it in the games but Chloe was a clone the whole time. It didn't come up because it wasn't important.

She's also Cassie cage from mk1.... 10 i believe? and she cameos as herself in the saints row 4dlc "HAWP" along with her brother and.... is that actually her dad?

they are the ancestors of this area's people since i think this is the only cradle built in this part of the world (the others were built in a different place(?)). Unless i understood it wrong from all the data files.. there is more than 1 cradle but i might be wrong. edit: did some digging and yes my understanding was right there are other facilities but its pretty much spread out throughout other parts of the world.

Also that is supposed to be the Mountain that has the Headquarters for NORAD in it. North American Aerospace Defense. Nora..

Sobek..... One of the egyptian gods of the nile. The crocodile god reminding the Egyptians that thought thenile would flood ad life would fail. After the wter had settled the flood would have left fertile ground for new life..... Very clever name developers.

She just has same genetic things but she is an other person not reincarnation

Ronaldo114 NOOO SHE IS HADES DAUGHTER 🙄

She is a clone of Dr. Strobek. Identical twins are technically clones too, but they are far from being the same person right?

@@dickiewongtk i think GAIA Made her as a clone from Dr.Sobeck using his DNA,so he can open the vault and restore GAIA

Aryon1969 in a datalog it says one of the servos left her outside

Aryon1969 humanity acording to datalogs, started 700 years befor alloy from these cradles. after 700 years people forgot where they came from and it became myth, hencr worshiped. remember they dont have apolo it was deleted so they dont have knowladge of the tech

The games litteraly has answered all of your question. Reinstating humanity was one of the prime directives of Project Zero Dawn... Go read the wiki before asking questions that have already been answered.

I would imagine that the Cradles around the globe, without APOLLO to go on, had to release their initial batches of clones upon running out of food, just like the one that birthed the Nora tribe. These humans, without a central bank of information about the Old World, were taught only basic English and social skills by servitors. They had to adapt to their respective environments.

@@wer123456 I bet you anything Ted Pharo KEPT Apollo in his bunker. A slime like him..ya he woulda kept it. I bet you anything he also actually did the light keeper protocols and kept DNA samples for a cradle to keep cloning him ensuring that there would always be a Ted Pharo..for when the time came to release everyone. He would have all the knowledge and thus leverage to rule the world.

No, the voice actor for Zavala: Lance Reddick

Daniela Espinoza to make up for no father

Her genetic makeup and DNA were from material that GAIA had stored in cryo-storage from the original Dr. Elizabet Sobek. GAIA had programed the Cradle facility to gestate and "birth" Aloy from that material. So in truth, GAIA and Dr. Sobek are her "mothers" in a sense.

Sooooo..... no fucking

Kinda like Jesus how she was born without a human father.. She was never to be shun.. like the braves made her and she was the anointed the entire time which pissed off Aloy cuz she was an outcast almost her entire life.

So cool. She has an AI as a mother, a deae woman and a badass adoptive father xD

They are all human except for the robots who raised the kids

One of the servitor robots was reactivated by Gaia, and tasked with delivering baby alloy outside the door. It is in one of the logs you can find inside the cradle. it timestamps each order from Gaia.

Mostly clone

she wouldn't have been able to grow....

I believe that there were 'servitors' that were basically robots that could have a holographic overlay to represent the 'mother,' 'healer,' and other personae that would take care of the children. One of them was reactivated to deposit baby Aloy outside of the door, then headed back inside and was shut down until Aloy grew up and the scene in this video began. Hope that helps! ^_^

@@battlefries yes that does that make sense now that I think about it. Thanks for responding!

In my theory GAIA need Elisabet, but when elisabet died because she is human after all, something’s wrong was about to happen for example HADES got out of control and GAIA desperately need elisabet to fix it, since she died so GAIA build a clone from elisabet’s and after it exploded and the cloning process is done and I expect that the robot arm is the one who’s bringing aloy from inside the mountain to the outside so the baby can be heard by the matriarch. That’s just my pov :D

I love this whole scene. It is amazing.
