Climbing toward the Zenith base with Erend, I relied on Sylens's directions while fighting through hostiles. After assisting Zo and coordinating with Kotallo and Alva, we witnessed a swarm of combat machines, spawned via HEPHAESTUS, engaged the Specters, opening a path for our sprint to the launch tower.
Finding our way forward through the rugged terrain, Erend and I began scaling the steep rock face, carefully navigating around jagged corners to gain elevation.
Sylens confirmed over the focus comms that he had line of sight on a path leading higher and urging us to keep moving.
As we navigated the tricky climb, I spotted several futuristic Specter machines patrolling the ledges ahead.
While Sylens and the rest of our team managed to keep most of the hostile patrol units distracted, one particularly aggressive Specter turned directly toward us, leaving no room for a stealthy bypass.
Opening fire with its heavy plasma repeaters, the machine forced me into cover. Realizing I was completely out of crafting supplies for my Acid Arrows, I drew my Shock Bolt blaster instead, pausing briefly to slot in a fresh magazine.
While Erend charged in to draw the Specter's primary focus at close range, I unloosed a continuous volley of electrical bolts from medium distance, overloading the machine's systems until it collapsed into a heap of scrap.
Scanning the upper ledges, I noticed Zo struggling to suppress another enemy unit. Aiming high, I fired off a targeted specter, striking the machine's primary weak points and sending it tumbling off the cliff edge.
Regrouping along a high stone slab, Kotallo reported over the comms that he and Alva were in position at the regulator. Aloy instructed them to begin sabotaging the unit while the rest of us pushed up the remaining cliffside toward the Far Zenith base.
Reaching the summit, the massive, gleaming structure of the Zenith stronghold finally towered above us.
Suddenly, the facility opened its bays, releasing a vast swarm of Specters that threatened to completely overwhelm our ground forces.
Just as the swarm locked onto our position, a massive wave of overridden combat machines surged forward to intercept them, slamming directly into the Specter lines.
Aloy reassured the team that these were the reinforced army units she had planned for, using Beta's code merged with HEPHAESTUS to print lethal combat machines directly into the wild.
Tilda commended the brilliant strategy over the comms as the overridden beasts tore through the sleek white specters.
With absolute chaos erupting across the mountain and the battlefield turning into a full-scale war zone, Aloy urged the team to sprint straight toward the central launch tower before their window of opportunity snapped shut.
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.
