Revenge of the Nora Revenge of the Nora is a main quest in Horizon Zero Dawn where Aloy helps Sona, the Nora War-Chief, and Varl strike back at the Eclipse cultists responsible for The Proving massacre. The mission begins after completing The War-Chief’s Trail, with Aloy meeting Sona and Varl at Red Echoes. The quest involves clearing three cultist camps in Devil’s Grief, a corrupted region filled with Eclipse forces and corrupted machines. Players must disable alarms in each camp to prevent reinforcements and can approach the camps using stealth or direct combat. After clearing the camps, Aloy joins Sona and Varl to plan an assault on the "Ring of Metal," the cultists’ main base. At the Ring of Metal, Aloy sneaks inside to locate a cache of Blaze containers. She detonates the Blaze with fire arrows, creating chaos as Nora warriors storm the base. During the ensuing battle, players face waves of cultists and a Corrupted Fire Bellowback, which requires exploiting its weak points with Shock or Fire damage. After defeating all enemies, Aloy speaks with Sona to complete the mission. Completing Revenge of the Nora rewards players with 4,000 XP, 1 skill point, and advances Aloy’s fight against the Eclipse while solidifying her role as a leader among the Nora. A Seeker at the Gates A Seeker at the Gates is an early main quest in Horizon Zero Dawn that follows Aloy as she attempts to leave the Sacred Land and pursue those responsible for The Proving massacre. The quest begins after completing The Womb of the Mountain, where Aloy is named a Seeker by High Matriarch Teersa. Aloy travels to Mother’s Crown, where she learns that corrupted machines have blocked key paths out of Nora territory. She is tasked with clearing two corrupted zones near Devil’s Thirst. These zones are filled with corrupted Watchers and Scrappers that are highly vulnerable to fire attacks but deal increased damage due to their corruption. After clearing both zones, Aloy proceeds to Daytower, a Carja outpost guarding the border. There, she meets Captain Balahn, who allows her passage into Carja territory after she proves herself by completing her tasks. The quest ends with Aloy stepping beyond Nora lands for the first time. Completing A Seeker at the Gates rewards players with 2,500 XP, 1 skill point, and access to new regions in Carja territory, advancing Aloy’s journey toward uncovering her past and stopping HADES.
