Also...as a Horizon veteran, I would think you would understand why the Thunderjaws and nastier machines were made. He didn't decide that humanity was a disease. When GAIA destroyed herself it caused the Derangement which saw machines becoming more ferocious. This causes humans to attack them more, which lead to Hephaestus to make more aggressive machines such as the Sawtooth and Thunderjaw to defend the machines made to remake the environment. He didn't just decide humanity was worth destroying, there were events going into it. That is why the records of the Sawtooth are only two decades old, because they started right after the Derangement. This is what contributed to the Sun King raiding and sacrificing more in the Red Raids, because he sought to appease the new machines and their hostility by offering sacrifices to the Sun.
That is incorrect. Hepheastus took action when it saw Humans destroying the machines it was building. The Derangement is not a derangement at all. That is how primitive humanity sees it. Not knowing the AI's even exist. It is Hepheastus designing the robots to kill humans to protect the machines. Humans except for Aloy & perhaps Sylens are aware of that. For the rest they are ingrained into their very culture. Not knowing they are part of maintaining the earths ecosystem. Apollo was destroyed containing all of human history and culture. When the other sub system were set free from Gaia through Hades they basically became their own masters. Cyan explains that Hepheastus was trying to take over Cauldrons to make machines to hunt humans. The Sawtooth was simply one of the first machines designed to protect other machines and hunt humans. But it does not want to see Humanity exterminated like Hades does. Gaia was the prime system overseeing the others making sure they worked properly. When they were set free they started to deviate and spin out of control. Still not all of them are evil nor good. They are AI's and it is proven they understand the concept of emotions. Hate,Fear,Love etc. And the Sun King had gone insane.
What about her past was unsolved from the base game? You learned who her "Mother" was. What she is. Why she is born. What the hope was in having her alive. I thought the base game answered this really nicely.
Agreed, I would like to know this as well. If OP is talking about something I don't know yet, I would LIKE to know. Which questions remained unanswered?
I completed Frozen wilds and I was happy with it. As the Leaderboard said, I was happy with the substance in this. For example most the time I pay 15.00 to get some random missions and maybe some weapons added to a original game. However the Frozen Wilds added a new section of the map. Because of this I have made a NG+ in very hard and am going to run the entire game over again with this new content. (New Game + loadout is also a very neat idea that I was happy with.) I can play the game again as many times as I want and I can keep the items and time I put into Aloy's levels and weapons, armor, mods etc... Horizon (Zero Dawn) was probably one of my favorite original storylines I have seen in a LONG time! Honestly If they wanted to keep releasing these new area's I would keep getting all of them. The game leaves so many questions unanswered and so many people still in peril. I believe this game could keep on going for a long time to come. As long as they wanna keep adding to the story I will keep updating it. What can I say, I am hooked on this game.
Are you excited to continue Aloy's journey??? Sound off in comments below and don’t forget to tell us which game you want us to cover next!! You can continue the conversation with us on Discord (The Leaderboard Fam): discord.gg/ddnfPwH
You don't need to interpret clues to determine that this is set in Yellowstone. It literally tells you in the game multiple times in the main narrative. It's not an Easter Egg.
This is top notch research and presentation of said research. Both of you should be proud. The wealth of knowledge and presentation of that knowledge had me hooked only a few minutes into the video. Great work, all.
He could do better. He got some pretty vital information wrong in this video that I wouldn't expect from a self styled "veteran." Aloy's past is answered thoroughly in the base game. You know who her mother is, why she is alive, what the hope for her was, why she didn't have a mother, what her relation to the past is, etc. The cliffhangers of the first game are not revolved around Aloy. They are: Who sent the signal to make GAIA's subroutines self aware? What is Sylens going to do with HADES? How was he able to get HADES to the lantern (was it through his spear modification or...?). Is Sylens going to repeat the same issues for the sake of knowledge? (He alludes to this in the base game saying he'd do things again just with more safeguards). So it leads to wondering will Sylens become an antagonist in some manner. Also, the reason for creation of the more ferocious machines is completely wrong in his summation. Hephaestus didn't just decide humanity was a disease to destroy. Hephaestus performed its subroutine as planned. When GAIA destroyed herself, it caused the Derangement, which lead to the machines becoming more hostile. This increased hostility lead to humans attacking the machines more, which then in turn lead Hephaestus to creating more combat machines to PROTECT the environment machines. That is why the records of the Sawtooth are only two decades old, because they started right after the Derangement. This is what contributed to the Sun King raiding and sacrificing more in the Red Raids, because he sought to appease the new machines and their hostility by offering sacrifices to the Sun.
I only started playing Horizon Zero Dawn a few weeks ago and for the most part i'm really enjoying it. also £10 for the complete edition is such a awesome deal it was near impossible to resist
I've played it and actually, I didn't think there was a lot of spoilers. If you dealt with the Babuk during a side quest in the Banuk camp on the main map you kinda knew what they were like. Even more so if you struck up conversations with the Banuk just standing around. According to them, they were all great machine hunters, cultist and story tellers.
Your review was fun to watch. However one misnomer, the springs are not deadly if Aloy were to go swimming in them. The rest of it was accurate. I can't stop playing the game.
Can anyone confirm if you get a different experience if you don’t play this DLC post-game? I lost my final save game and was forced to access and complete this DLC from a new game plus session without completing the core game. I ask because certain elements are not familiar to Aloy because in my game she hadn’t run into the Banuk, or solved the big mystery and had no knowledge of Project Zero Dawn when she ventured into this new region at the earliest opportunity.
Omg Horizon is such an incredible game!!!! And as a bonus, I absolutely LOVE Greek mythology, so that's totally a double win, not to mention the game's breathtaking views and brilliant graphics!And yep, Hephaestus is definetely the god of Volcanoes! His Roman equivalent is Vulcan, which should probably explain 😂
I just wish for the possibility to own a house and decorate it with trophies, like parts of the machines. And the possibility to call overwrite machines to move around a little, since now they stay and don't help much.
Bhakti Shiki We were left on a cliffhanger at the end of the game with Hades and Sylens. The game isn't finished as we can see since there's many questions to be answered.
Yeah thats for Sylens and Hades. But the mystery behind Aloy and her past WAS answered in the base game. I thought the same when he made that comment in the video.
Master Zexus thats not what he talks about. He says that aloys past wasnt explained fully in the base game, which is completely wrong. You find out exactly who she is and why she was created, and this whole jesus quest thing he talks about is so off the mark its insulting to that fairy tale
not only does the complete edition save them money and get them frozen wilds, they also receive two armor sets for Aloy and other bonus content..... I bought Horizon while it was still 79.99 CAD. Plus the Frozen Wilds.... TT--TT
No its. Clearly a frog i play the game and have 100 on the achievments and the game and dlc and hvy couldnt he see tath it jumped very hig a bear probably couldnt do tath or could it :():()
Ida Rosnes No it's shape is like a bear. It doesn't resemble a frog in any aspect. It even stands on it's hind legs. Which a bear does & frogs can't. As for jumping; bears can, but the game exaggerates it like 300%.
Its funny I didnt know my game had frozen wilds included. So when I ended up in the doc when I wasn't even done with the game I was pretty excited. Now im well prepared for all the normal beast with my new bow and outfits hehe
Watching while extremely hyped for the rest of the game (holding off on story missions while doing all the side-stuff). Thanks for the spoiler warning, much appreciated :D
I just purchased the base game 2 days ago and it's finally finished downloading (ugh I hate how long you have to wait to play modern games) and I'm about to dive into it. If it's good I may get the expansion. I love the concept so it'll probably depend on how the game feels to play for whether or not I'm down for an extended stay.
Ngl, the DLC was not good as the base game. Just feels like a go to X get Y kill Z quest with a new hunting ground. Also, SPOILER ALERT, the base game did a great job explaining Aloy's past, you just weren't paying attention because it tells you everything closer to the end. You were created by GAIA to stop Hades from destroying the planet. Zero Dawn and Gaia was created to allow life to exist after the Faro robots are disabled. Elizabet Sobek was the lead director of Zero Dawn and she gave her life so that life itself could prevail after the Faro robots destroy the planet and Gaia repopulates the biosphere. It tells you everything about Aloy's past and origin. Not Sylens though and other characters as well
Jezus like mission. Uhh no offence but if anything Aloy has nothing with religion. That is more then often shown. Especially during this DLC. Where she basically can choose to say to can the religious crap LOL. And you do get the Symbolism between the Thunderjaw and The Most powerfull machine in there right? Godzilla,Mecha godzilla and King Kong. Oops..never mind. Too soon lol.

Agreed, I would like to know this as well. If OP is talking about something I don't know yet, I would LIKE to know. Which questions remained unanswered?
@Mia Kay nope there's what the signal that activated Hades
To be specific, it didn't give answers about her past. It gave ones for the Derangement , which is a big part of the lore.
Also , that mountain with smoke is Yellowstone,not Devil's Tower. It's a real volcano.and a big one.
@@welp-san9120 Perhaps who or whatever made the machines go mad and lead to Gaias and Hades creation in the first place.

Sheldon Collins ive been on the fence about the dlc but everyone says its amazing so i think ill get it as i absolutely love the base game
Aloy is one of my favorite characters of the last 10 years.
@Kelly Pagano Aloy and Rost, Ellie and Joel, and Arthur Morgan!
Keri Harguess don’t forget Charles

When you get a frozen wilds ad on a frozen wilds video.
Are you excited to continue Aloy's journey??? Sound off in comments below and don’t forget to tell us which game you want us to cover next!! You can continue the conversation with us on Discord (The Leaderboard Fam): discord.gg/ddnfPwH
The Leaderboard I have a question how big is the map for this dlc?
The Leaderboard just wanna point out hephestis wasn't the one responsible for creating the evil machines. It was HADES please check your facts!!!
The Leaderboard Aloy find out she is a clone of the one created the AI to save the life on the planet
Listen to the audio file, characters from the old world actually say Yellowstone several times
All this expansion dlc for 20$ thats rare!
JEDI MASTER YODA This and Witcher 3 have the best dlc for the price. Now just waiting for the BOTW $20 expansion and see if that is a value as well.
15 bucks if you preordered.
You don't need to interpret clues to determine that this is set in Yellowstone. It literally tells you in the game multiple times in the main narrative. It's not an Easter Egg.
I just break down into tears when I make eye contact with a Scorcher
same, I tried entering the Cut on level FIFTEEN, one little swat from that thing and I was back at the grave hoard
You wont die from swimming in the springs in the game
In the game you can find data points that explains that the springs was cooled down with a method that keeps the iconic discoloration.
Sim Yian Hann if it's too hot
Cuz its a game... maybe it isn't as hot after however many centuries had passed?
Really hoping for a second dlc as this was amazing and worth every penny
tom kar i think the next will be horizon 2 because they already released complete edition with this dlc
I've heard it's the ONLY expansion they are gonna do.... Which makes me sad.
wesley adams don't be sad ..they will bring a second game
Got platinum and beat it on ultra-hard mode. Can’t wait to complete this DLC to 100%
This is top notch research and presentation of said research. Both of you should be proud. The wealth of knowledge and presentation of that knowledge had me hooked only a few minutes into the video. Great work, all.

I think there will be 2 more expansions taking place in the "Forbidden West" of Shadow Carja and second "The Claim" of Oseram .
Forbidden west is a sequel, not expansion
I only started playing Horizon Zero Dawn a few weeks ago and for the most part i'm really enjoying it. also £10 for the complete edition is such a awesome deal it was near impossible to resist
I'll watch after I complete. Thanks for the spoiler warning. All I need to know is if it's still awesome
I've played it and actually, I didn't think there was a lot of spoilers. If you dealt with the Babuk during a side quest in the Banuk camp on the main map you kinda knew what they were like. Even more so if you struck up conversations with the Banuk just standing around. According to them, they were all great machine hunters, cultist and story tellers.

The DLC is rated for level 30+. So any save you have from that time frame will work. It doesn't have to be the auto-save on the road to Meridian.
I got the game of the year edition new at GameStop for 20 bucks and it’s so worth it!
just fyi aloy will mention the dlc during some story missions in the base game
Brilliant video! Subbed xoxo
I knew it would be Yellowstone. Especially when they said it would be to the north
that devils tower thing looks like a tree stump wait was it a tree stump
Omg Horizon is such an incredible game!!!! And as a bonus, I absolutely LOVE Greek mythology, so that's totally a double win, not to mention the game's breathtaking views and brilliant graphics!And yep, Hephaestus is definetely the god of Volcanoes! His Roman equivalent is Vulcan, which should probably explain 😂
I bought it last summer for 40 sold it on ebay for 30. Now I just bought the complete edition for 20 bucks lol
When you play frozen wilds the game doesn’t consider your game over because you still have a option to do the final mission
I just wish for the possibility to own a house and decorate it with trophies, like parts of the machines. And the possibility to call overwrite machines to move around a little, since now they stay and don't help much.
Dude aloys past was explained clearly during the base game I think you mean Elizabeth Sobeck who is I guess you could say aloys previous life

No-one 100% this in two days.

The Thunderjaw is cute, and I have no problem taking it down. But
*SPOILER*
That Fireclaw is tough, and I’m level 67! (Max level plus 7 ghost levels)
I got the Complete Edition for $15 around 5 months ago
Watching while extremely hyped for the rest of the game (holding off on story missions while doing all the side-stuff). Thanks for the spoiler warning, much appreciated :D
The machine is a fireclaw or a frostclaw
For a Dutch developer they sure ace their American geography!
This game rocks
Scorchers, Frostpaws, and specially the FIRECLAWS is a massive pain in the ass!!!
"Unsolved by the base game"
That is factually incorrect. It is explained & solved.
Boi i already finished my horizon zero dawn and the frozen wilds
I'm going to be one of those late adopters. So excited to play it though :)
Josef Plays Games this is the only game I've cared to platinum. The game is great man.
Me standing here thinking i can ride the thunderjaw:(:(:(:(
Minerva isn't a Greek Goddess, she's Roman
Yeah you're right. The Greek Goddess equivalent is Athena.
They are not dinosaurs. Only one is shaped like a dinosaur. The rest are shaped like animals.
That machines called a "frozenclaw"

Its not a bear its Yetti
