Descending to face the Grimhorn, I disabled its protective dome and fought through relentless grenades, flames, and destruction. After many failed attempts, lowering the difficulty finally brought victory. With Hephaestus destroyed, we began The Eye of the Earth, climbing into Minerva's red-lit domain despite her attempts to bar my way.
And this is my entry for the cinematic photography contest.
As we had to get down there to fight the machine, I rappelled down and I guess the others did the same. There was this dome of light protecting the machine and I shut it down by overriding the node.
After overriding the network node, the protective dome was disabled and the big machine started running around. It's a Grimhorn and when I was tagging it, more machines came over.
Aloy decided to take care of the big one when the others can fight with the small ones. And look how the Grimhorn was trying to burn Aloy alive. The machine was shooting me with grenades and it was using its horns for that.
Aloy somehow survived and I could see how she was holding up inside the flame, thanks to the photo mode. After shooting it with some arrows, I jumped off the pillar when I understood the machine was shooting me with more grenades.
The ground was not safe at all so I went back to the pillar right away, even before touching the ground, and tried to damage the machine from there. Then the machine destroyed the pillar and attacked me. I didn't have any medicinal berries left so I was just gliding and escaping away to regenerate health.
I tried taking down the beast several time and I kept dying. It doesn't matter how hard I was trying, I kept dying. I was bored at a point after multiple tries, so I checked if I could lower the game difficulty and luckily I could and I then slayed the beast along with the rest of them easily after that.
Zo ran to the machine and started mourning after I took it down. Aloy was surprised to see Zo mourning a machine that nearly killed them. Then Zo replied she was not grieving for a machine or a god, but because she no longer know what to believe.
It was time to destroy Hephasteus and after trying hard, Aloy destroyed it from there. Aloy said up they go, Zo asked if there were more. Then Varl acted strangely to say "Like Aloy said, this is only the beginning". Varl is still acting weird and a character of this game that I personally do not like.
Then after overriding the repair bay core where I completed the mission "The Dying Light" and stared a new interlude titled "The Eye of the Earth", I had to enter the facility.
There was this elevator shaft where the elevator was missing so I used it to climb up leaving the rest of the team below.
A synthetic voice was restricting my access from everything and there was red light everywhere. Minerva was doing it but she was not getting rid of Aloy this easily.
The next post will be coming soon. Screenshots are my take from the game and I took the game logo that I used on the thumbnail picture from online.
SEE YOU.
