Can I have a dollar for everyone commenting: "Its not a secret its more of a..." The game does not tell you its an option so thats why I call it secret. Yes its also a bad ending but does not mean its not a secret LOL xD

That guys death was the funniest shit ever

this makes me wonder how many other side quests have secret endings

I've spent countless hours on HZD since 2017, trying all the different scenarios; It never occurred to me to just leave the estate after killing the machines. Will go back to it before Forbidden West comes out.

I could never go through with this ending. Even though I know that no one in this game actually exists I would feel bad if someone died who I could have saved. I get attached to characters in games.

throwing away morals for SPEED since Olin begged for mercy! I was not aware of this ending, I love how well thought out this path ends up being.

This is what I really like about hzd, they consider even dialogs for if players decide to do things out of order. I went back to Rost's grave during the all-mother's invasion, and Aloy has a very specific line saying how she feels like visiting him even though there's an emergency going on. If you visit other places during the invasion, you will find interesting details too, such as the Aloy commenting about the merchant guy dying or her trying to find Old Greta but she went into hiding.

So basically helping someone evil saves you time... Horizon is basically instigating some messed up stuff

This is pretty cool. I just found a secret ending of my own. Not sure if you know about it, but I bet you do. The side quest Robbing the Rich has a secret ending. Nasan is already at the Shadow Carja fort, apparently from the start of the game. If you rescue him before beginning the quest, then instead of having to meet with the thief leader in the lakeside shack, you just tell the lady at the market stall that you already saved Nasan and tell her to stop stealing heirlooms. Probably a significant time save, too.

Thanks for being so thorough with all the possible sequences you can get. Most youtubers would just show the one alternate ending and call it a day.

That woman died for a minute in a half speedrun boost.

that's so interesting!! I love how there's always something new to learn about this game 😭❤️

The amount of details in this game is amazing

I just did the odd grata quest after Roth dies last week. Never thought about different endings before.

4:25 that part always gets me lmfaoo

I want a side quest with a happy ending.

I have honestly never used the door to get in there but climbed up the back every time. I love that's there's always more to find out even after 4 playthroughs.

I've played this game over and over. I will NEVER choose this secret option. It's terrible

Horizon was and will always be my favorite game I’ve ever played

Thanks for all the good info and tips you always give to us on this game. You inspired me on trying an ultra hard run for the first time, and I did it successfully! All thanks to you 💕

I've gone looking for alternate or rare dialogue in quests, but I never thought to do this. Well done.

Thanks for sharing! This is one of my favourite side quests in the game but I wasn’t aware it could end differently. I’m definitely not gonna let evil Ramanan get the estate tho haha.

When the "secret" ending is actually the worse ending...

Never realised there was a secret ending, didn't even know there was a key, I used the rockface to get into de barn.

I love the level of detail put in this game

These is a quest where you have to get back a sword that got stolen. In the normal ending you have to rescue someone for the thieves and then they will return the sword and come to a deal. But you can rescue the guy before the quest, if you do that it cuts out a lot of the quest and the sword just gets returned.

Hmmm that's the ending I got the first time lmao so the other ending is the actual secret ending for me 🤣

cool showing. Thank you for this. I did not have any idea there was alternate ways to do any of the missions.

more content like this love it Elk, listening and loving watching today. Love your little rant. Yes practice is where it's at. I'm a drummer I totally understand what you was saying about practice...

I choose the good ending any day that guy does not deserve his father property.

I can't beleive I bought this game when it first came out and now just decided to play it and wow did I miss out what an amazing game.

I remember this quest , slow-walked from cauldren XI to the family home packing a chaingun just to take out the ravager there. took quite a while but it was worth it.

It's awesome to see multiple endings in side missions, I would love to see it often in next horizon game

I think moment of peace quest deserves more attention and exploration. I'm sure it holds huge easter eggs for Horizon forbidden west.

Dude this is crazy. I got this ending way before I finished the game. I just thought it was a part of the game. I loved this game so much!!

Since we are talking about endings, what ever happened to that old lady up the mountains who used to refuse to talk to Aloy and I had to go get her beads, I really wanted to pay her a visit before I did the last mission but I forgot where she used to chill😄

There's a key to the workshop? I always climbed in the loft window

Im not sure if this is something that everyone knows, but when i decided to kill Olin in the dig site, even if he is dead his eyes are blinking 😅

Every time I think I completed all of the side quests I arrive in a new area and find a new side quest or errand to run!

This is crazy cause i play this game like if i already ended the game... Now i can go back for a reason, thank you

Love this game! I walked around for awhile just to take in the scenery....

Elk with the knowledge drops

I like how everyone wears the Blazon Outfit for some belly button action

Didn't know about it thank you, I would of never did that ending the original is too funny when he gets snatched by the flying monster

So its more of an incomplete ending that a secret one since you get less xp, thanks guy

Good video mate

Totally forgot how good this game looks

It probably just doesn't occur to most people to just go back to the guy after killing the machines, we probably all assumed that it would be a wasted trip and we'd just have to go back and finish the quest.

I love this content

I stumbled upon the villa before I got the quest, killed the monsters and then talked to the brother. Then pick up the key.

Good job new and original content

You also don't need the key to get into the workshop you can just climb up the back of the building.

I thought I knew a lot, but I did not know about this. 👍

Interesting that’s why I like this game :)

I did not know. Thanks. ;)

Very interesting, cool details from the game developers

I've played this HZD over a dozen times and I've never even thought of this wth HAHA

u can also enter the workshop by climbing from behind it.

Very cool

Thank you for an interesting and informative video. Well done. 😊 I definitely heard his siter's screamsd and let her out. I got the normal ending. But I'm almost certain that I didn't enter the workshop. Maybe the lure is still there, I'll check it out. ------------- PS. A secret ending is not an Easter Egg in itself. An Easter Egg is a reference to, or an item from, another game (or more rarely from a movie or song).

Cool. Had no idea

That made me think about of that maybe this other final is some other way that the producers wanted to finish this sidequest but had forget to exclude it hehehe

I have literally played this guest yesterday for the first time 😂😂

I’m get back in this game

the bad ending

Thank you for your clearly voice, so I could understand you besides my Englisch is not good. Thank you for that.

I did NG+ many times and experimented with quests in different orders from the previous playthroughs and you can see a lot of different lines. On the top of my head: I had the dlc. In new game+, after the world opens up and immediately you go to Banuk lands, if you complete the dlc Silenz won't be introduced yet and thus won't comment on the ending (awakening of Hephaestus and running rampant) but the line will then trigger once Aloy investigates the heart of the mountain. If you destroy all bandit camps without talking to Nil, he won't be a quest NPC (duh) but after the last bandit camp, he will be marked on the map as a quest and will comment that he has heard of the exploits of Aloy and how she's "doing his job". No different ending though, you still duel (or not duel) and kill him. Collection quests where you already have the objective item, the quest giver has different lines. It amazed me how Guerilla had the foresight and recorded these dialogue changes just in case.

That is why i love the Witcher 3 when in comes to quests like this. Pretty sure you would still find the girl still locked in the room, plus the evil brother would be seen returning back to the estate.

What outfit are you wearing at the end when you talk to Ramamanaman?

i honestly reached max level and finished main quest and i disregarded all side quest xD

The closet wasn't locked when you went back. It wasn't accessible, but the lock wasn't on the door.

i think i even don't know this quest.but i like the orginal ending better.

To everyone, you are special Always know you are cutiful and special! Reach for your goals! be positive and do what makes you happy! You are beautiful just the way you look! I am glad you exist! Yay!!

Man hundo is a murderous speedrun...

"Ignore the screams for help"

when do you get this icerail thing? i think in the frozen wilds dlc but how

In that case I can be satisfied with myself that I didn't discover this ending.

Hey how does your ice weapon charge so fast? Is it because you have increased handling?

Who else is fucking stoked for forbidden west? My wife is playing HZD for the first time now so she can be caught up for the story, and she's more enthralled with this game than she ever has been any other

I appreciate the fact that the game punishes you for choosing the heartless option.

Holy- another zero dawn player?! YES!!! Finally im not alone!

wow lol i did it this way before and thought i screwed up and reloaded my save file

I’ve seen this one before. I thought it was interesting it lets you complete the quest this way. I do it the normal way. The lure is important to the storyline in my opinion. And freeing the girl feels better. Lol

what armor are you wearing in this video. I like the look a lot. edit to clarify: the armor in the segment for the secret ending.

You can actually go in the estate without doing the quest by jumping the wall on the right of the main gate by "sacrificing" a few striders, and you can go in and interact with the door and you will find nothing... Pointless comment but I thought it was a curious thing so I shared it

Interesting bad ending. I will make a note to never deliberately do it. :)

what is that weapon you used to kill the ravage?

Nice

I beat that Son of Ey becht called hades yesterday en i feel good

Had you tried killing all the beast ... freeing her and then go to meridian to talk to the guy?

What’s that armor you’re wearing in the last run through? Carja Blazon Heavy? It looks different though

Hi Kermit the Frog! Nice video! Thanks!

I already now this .. long ago bcs u did all the side quests

You dont need the key to get into the workshop. You can climb in through the back.

I think i did this side quest half like just killed the machines and forgot about the quest 🤣🤣

On the errand where you’re looking for someone who stole food from a merchant in Meridian you can return to talk to the woman, the guy who stole the food is there, that conversation is very funny. I don’t know if you have found the bandits that trap you in a circle of fire, near one of the cauldrons. Love that every time I play this game I find something new, thanks for sharing this ending! :)

I never knew there was a key for the workshop. Always thought you had to climb in through the back.

This was a secret beat this so long ago

What happens if you go back to the estate after ending this with the secret ending?

What is that ice weapon you were using?
