Our journey ended at The Bulwark, where Kotallo's past and Aloy's sharp eye hinted at deeper truths. But Tekotteh's refusal to send challengers, left the mission unresolved. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmYF17bn8LNezjtPXBftp1Pu6EeTn3k2oMwbmodn9Qrgjt/screenshot_1_.png) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmXnnMsprifCNehv2GEXFMJ3EVFpGkKKoLAP4578GSfXxv/screenshot_2_.png) Kotallo was running ahead all this time but when he saw more rebels, he asked me to take the lead. Killing these rebels were still optional so we could just ignore them but I decided to fight them this time so I went closer. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmYLpuCrp6MshA8dhmQmDheGofUXgRmrxMFfnMWo5CLXub/screenshot_3_.png) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmX66sQpCArWSdBocv2Rzt3kUiVJY6AcJxjHL67AB9YbZk/screenshot_4_.png) There were two rebels without shields and two with shields. After checking on them properly, I went for taking down one of them with a silent strike but the others somehow understood something was wrong there so they started lookin for me when I was hiding in the grasses there. As they'd find me eventually, I revealed myself by taking another one of them down with a silent strike. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmZRXeybtV9KfZcMUGX8qoAkGhHpkvfMtb7cYfeKwfBLVW/screenshot_5_.png) When Kotallo was fighting the rebel without the shield, I went for the tougher one and it became hard to take him down as he was blocking most of my attacks using the shield. I took him down and the other as well, finding Kotallo was not able to even take down a single rebel, but he was once a marshal. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmeJ592JaK1PoeouDLprEbaQ2FMAJtWgwuLGfPCfDrdsa1/screenshot_6_.png) After I was done taking the rebels down, Kotallo started fighting some machines unnecessarily and I had to take care of those machines as well. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmdVaK6XrtTT1fAH6j1ffgRCyodjhiD2j7C742qMLCyirE/screenshot_7_.png) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmbtSaBhVDLSJh6KcLdnpfF8yNC5euXUi9rB4diFeGG1G3/screenshot_8_.png) I even had to shoot down two more machines who were at a far and noticed Kotallo, otherwise he'd not move. And then we reached The Bulwark at last. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmTzfAnYxwA8o2QueYcWN1GDyAQno59He9SmxUGfhxb4Yk/screenshot_9_.png) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmRRY6anAcrqtxEjVmxQ21h2j39xN7mWpZVorRMhqkNqYM/screenshot_11_.png) After reaching there, Kotallo blew a horn that attracted a guard in Bulwark who was probably in control of their lift. Kotallo had to convince the guard to send the lift for them. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmPpVtEM4GX8YTFKe5hD5FvW6zo9KKbzzwTFN77E6QrLMm/screenshot_12_.png) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmULUfqFf8WAo7Vfodfv8havc68wkGpWj6nAqCrYrDwFFb/screenshot_13_.png) Both Kotallo and Aloy got on the lift and it was being pulling up. I was shown this scene from different angles and they looked cool. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmR2ECPTbhNiTr7rm3KQpo7bHYELX63HNK2fQSkF2pUzt1/screenshot_14_.png) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmWJdKWJ2orNCGmrrMZkJzbJS2SRqHgYK8qd1cK8ei7uEh/screenshot_15_.png) While going up, Aloy noticed something from the old world stuck into a big rock. She didn't say anything about it but as she was looking at it in this way, this thing should be important to her, right? ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmd3q85cxXFj9Ed4EgJsXSgiCumbhi57FKwaGgttmzcAoA/screenshot_16_.png) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmcMuy4tkBtgSH4TpYdeEsScJb8sJiEfdtDoUZSznctApy/screenshot_17_.png) They went up to the camp and Kotallo was remembering this place to be his home long back. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmXDvyYHfJTGDyqtvpx8gM1ywYL7NHLiZ1sm5zy9PRQPcx/screenshot_18_.png) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmUJAMmBAPwPaLD1fj91xv9kCh6EksHrhBgwp2JvH3jA7v/screenshot_19_.png) On our way to Tekotteh, the leader of this place, Kotallo said he'll have the talking but when we reached there, he asked me to talk to the guard. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmeDuRh2nzc1PcBkTea2zf6mCcdo1rtoUV28GDHXTsmtPB/screenshot_20_.png) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmRR78EQVJPpLES1tSAXSdMesAMaKvVza6CCn1z8pwB4me/screenshot_21_.png) When I moved Aloy towards the guard, Kotallo really did the talking and said they were there to see Tekotteh. The guard let them in and they found Tekotteh playing something with another man there. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmXmqaa9r97J5T4pp3yXC7gfZiHJtaxTPQv1xoWwX4TjHS/screenshot_24_.png) Kotallo told Tekotteh that their chief has demanded an immediate dispatch of all challengers to the Kulrut. The first thing Tekotteh said was their challengers will only fight to defend their walls, their clan if they must fight. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmcabQeeqvRHSn9JxirKZSxQjoMZbajHuHQjJFUiTFFgX9/screenshot_25_.png) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmR5tqvyis2f74tSxtNFsTQKfHtxLXitmEtFwE3Ts1iNDz/screenshot_26_.png) Aloy tried to convince him but he made it clear that they'll keep their challengers their for as long as they are safe behind the Bulwark and then showed us the exit. --- 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.
