![]() The Red Blight is caused by DEMETER, one of GAIA's former subordinate functions now acting as an independent AI. It's choking and starving out the more ordinary wildlife Aloy sees a dead fox surrounded by it, and an unnamed tribeswoman pulls a half-rotten carrot out of its tangle. Alien Kudzu: A strange plant called the Red Blight is infesting the terrain Aloy travels.Air-Vent Passageway: Played straight, and very handy for exploring ancient bunkers and other ruins.Aloy and Beta actually exploit this trope by releasing it into the Far Zenith compound, instantly giving them an army of machines to fight off the Zeniths' spectres. Especially HEPHAESTUS, since its only purpose now is to travel from cauldron to cauldron, making them spit out deadlier and deadlier machines. GAIA is pretty cool and is actually doing what she's supposed to, but her now-sentient sub-functions, lacking the perogative to actually care for and love humanity, are not. ![]() (Note that this absolutely does not work on Shellsnappers.) Whereas most machines will retreat if they can't get to Aloy, these two tend to mostly flail randomly, firing their weapons in random directions in apparent frustration. Breaker: Aloy getting into a location where a highly aggressive machine like an Apex Thunderjaw or Tremortusk can't reach her (such as a high cliff) seems to confuse them. Being a group of immortal megalomaniacs, they also slaughter the new Earth's indigenous people without a second thought in pursuit of their goals. Having perfected the immortality technology that was already in development at the time, they are over a thousand years old and essentially the last living Old Ones, with the Sufficiently Advanced Alien technology to match. Abusive Precursors: The main antagonists are revealed to be the members of Far Zenith, who were mentioned in the previous game as a group of the world's wealthiest individuals who fled an increasingly unstable 21st century Earth in an interstellar spaceship prior to the outbreak of the Faro Plague.New Game+ has ghost levels that allow the player to continue accumulating XP and level up after every 100,000 XP gained, but provide no further benefits. ![]() (Maxing out all skill trees, however, will take a lot longer.) Especially strong machines like the Apex Fireclaw will always be higher-leveled than the player. ![]()
