On this episode we focus on the main quest Faro’s Tomb. From a story perspective, this quest may be the most impactful since we made it to the base and rebooted GAIA. Inside we discover not only the fate of Ted Faro, but also the fate of those who decided to ride out the end of the world in what is essentially a monument he built to himself. At the end of Zero Dawn, Ted was clearly unraveling, and it looks like that didn’t stop after he destroyed APOLLO and killed the Alpha’s. We also finally discover Ceo’s true motives for wanting to get inside of Thebes. Spoiler Alert! It’s self-serving.
