Chasing Aether Through Snow and Machines.

 After reactivating GAIA, I left the base into a snowy landscape. I explored the area, fought a rebel clan, and even overrode an Acid Bristleback. On the way to Aether's coordinates, I battled Ravagers and a Burrower, scouted a locked TallNeck, and reached the Tenakth Stronghold, where Dekka led me to the chief.   Now that I reactivated GAIA, I got big responsibilities to carry. After the conversation, GAIA unlocked the facility's exits, one leads onward to the west. We did exit the base through the west door and found there was snowfall on the outside.   Aloy needed to head further to the west to get more GAIA's components which would make her stronger. Aloy suggested them two staying there for the meantime. Varl said he'd go east to bring Erend here so Aloy gave him a pouch of Focuses.  Zo wanted to stay there for a while as there was much she needed to understand after what happened in the cave below. Both of them left me alone there so I started enjoying the view, the beautiful view. Then I did some night photography, fought a rebel clan and even overridden an Acid Bristleback which is my ride now. I shared them in different posts in the meantime.  I had to get to Aether's coordinates so I was riding my Bristleback in full speed, ignoring everything else on my way. But I couldn't ignore this TallNeck that had two Ravager's and a Burrower on its tail. I noticed there was no tall places around the TallNeck that I could use to climb it up, but still I decided to try.   I had to fight the wild machines first so I sneaked towards them taking some time and I attacked the last Ravager with a silent strike. It was strong enough not to die for a silent strike, I had to fight it more to take it down.  When I was going for the other Ravager next, the Burrower noticed me and when I ran to attack it, it attacked me first. Then I took down the Burrower before the Ravager came to me.   When the TallNeck kept walking on its course, I was fighting the Ravager and after fighting it for a moment, I took it down.  Then I ran around the TallNeck to see if I could find anything to climb it up but there was nothing and In noticed it's a locked TallNeck in the radar so I was leaving the place, riding my Bristleback, without wasting any more times there.   I rode towards the Aether's coordination, which lead me to this Tenakth Stronghold where I talked with this nice lady named Dekka, who suggested me to talk to their chief.  I went to the Throne Room with Dekka to meet the chief, the she went behind the throne to call their chief.   When Dekka was off to the back of the throne, Aloy scanned the place using her focus and noticed the Aether was right below the throne.  The chief came over and said he knows about the Aether below the throne and he wanted Aloy to do his battle and then he'd allow her to get to the basement.  Aloy had to accept the deal and then I went to Dekka and she gave me a sharpshot bow which I can try to use tear precision arrows that deal high tear damage. --- 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.
