🎮 Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered – Main Quest #18: The Terror of the Sun | Ultra Hard Difficulty | 4K 60FPS The Terror of the Sun is the eighteenth main quest in Horizon Zero Dawn. Synopsis: Some time later, Aloy awakens to find herself unarmed and unarmored, suspended in a cage above the Sun-Ring. Helis approaches, telling her that before she crashed the Eclipse network, he sent an order out to rally the Eclipse to invade the Sacred Lands. He then destroys her Focus. Now addressing the crowd, two Corruptors enter the Sun-Ring and begin corrupting a restrained Behemoth. Condemning Aloy to be the first of thousands to die, she is dropped into the Sun-Ring to face off against the machine. After a brief talk with Helis, he starts to give a speech to the audience in the Sun-Ring, exclaiming that the Shadow Carja is close to conqueer the Carja. Meanwhile, two Corruptors access the arena, running towards a captured Behemoth, they proceed to start controling it, making it more powerful, agressive and resilient, while Helis exclaims that its kind of machine might be strong, but it's even stronger under the 'shadow's power'. Aloy, unarmed and unarmored, is dropped into the Sun-Ring at the Shadow Carja capital of Sunfall to face off against the Corrupted Behemoth. Noting the machine's considerable strength, she realizes that she can use it to her advantage, luring the machine close enough to the pillars so that when it charges to attack, if she can move out of the way the force of the machine will weaken the pillars supporting the platform. After weakening two of the pillars, the platform crashes to the ground with Aloy running into the dust cloud. When she emerges, she is fully armored and prepared to defeat the machine. Much to the disbelief of Helis and the crowd, Aloy manages to take down the machine, challenging the Kestrel to face her himself. Helis then orders the two Corruptors into the Ring to finish her off. Helis begins to lose patience and orders her to be killed immediately, but Aloy gets tired of his nonsensical authority and tells him to come and do it himself. Before either Aloy or the Corruptors have the chance to strike, there is an explosion at the main gate of the Sun-Ring and two overridden Striders enter, with Sylens atop one of them. Aloy hops onto the back of the other Strider and together they ride towards the open gates of the Sun-Ring with the Corruptors in pursuit. Drawn to the Sun-Ring by the machine lure Sylens embeds in the dirt, three overridden Ravagers emerge and engage the Corruptors, allowing Sylens and Aloy to escape the Sun-Ring. While escaping, Helis shouts at Sylens, calling him traitor. Once they've traveled a safe distance from Sunfall, they slow to a stop. Sylens supplies Aloy with a new Focus downloaded with all the files from her destroyed Focus including the Alpha Registry she needs to access the ruins in All-Mother Mountain. After demanding some explanations from Sylens, he refuses Aloy's request for assistance in stopping the Eclipse threat from destroying the Sacred Lands. Leaving Aloy with a set of armor that will conceal her identity should she need to return to Shadow Carja territory and an apology, they part ways. Aloy rides off into the opposite direction, heading for her homeland.
