I Gave My Word: Blameless Marad had Ryas released with the offer of a full pardon if he successfully scaled the peaks of the Sunspear and found out what was causing the machine's odd behaviour.It also prevents Aloy and Asera crossing paths with each other until Forbidden West. Hero of Another Story: Ryas is implicitly brought in to handle the suspicious machine behaviour because Aloy is too busy dealing with the Eclipse and their imminent threat to focus on investigating it, especially since it takes place prior/during her infiltration into Sunfall and the Eclipse's attack on the Nora Lands.Indeed, the final confrontation with Asera has her suffering a Disney Villain Death that Ryas is certain killed her, though Urid does note that he Never Found the Body. Secondly, that Asera will survive the events of the game and escape to the Forbidden West to begin said movement and later cross paths with Aloy. Firstly, that Ryas will be successful in stopping Asera's plans to destroy Meridian with her budding 'Sons of Prometheus' movement. Foregone Conclusion: Once the identity of the Big Bad is revealed, several things become apparent.Her comments imply she was merely stopping by the settlement whilst on one of her many errands and Quests during the original game, and after seeing Ryas to the base of the Sunspear, sets off to head for Sunfall and gain access to the uncorrupted registry sealed underneath the Sun Ring there. The Cameo: After Hami knocks Ryas unconscious to drag him before Marad at Dawn's grasp, he's awakened by Aloy, apparently on a side-trek helping out Marad and Avad with the strange behavior of the machines in the region during the events of Zero Dawn.Granted, it doesn't kill her, but Ryas certainly believed it did. Despite Ryas' pleas for Asera to help save herself, she refuses to allow another Shadow Carja to dictate how her life will go, and chooses to fall of her own free will instead. By the time Ryas defeats the machine and reaches Asera, the balcony collapses out from underneath them, leaving them both hanging from broken metal supports over a sheer drop. A similar situation happens at the climax, with the fires unleashed by the Fireclaw Asera releases against Ryas in the Sun Ring atop the abandoned fort raging out of control, and eventually burning the abandoned ring down. Book Ends: During the movement tutorials after their boat is capsized by Snapmaws, Ryas attempts to pull Kavad out of the water to safety, but fails before he's dragged under.Big Bad: Asera, and her budding movement that will eventually become the 'Sons of Prometheus' by the time of Forbidden West.In particular, he's upset about how following his more fanatical father's orders resulted in him kidnapping the innocent Itamen to get turned into a Puppet King, and earned him his title. Being Evil Sucks: Similar to Uthid, Ryas doesn't appear to be 'evil' so much as a good person caught in the machinations of a corrupt fallen regime and not realising how bad his side was until too late, but that doesn't meant he doesn't deal with a lot of flak from Avad's supporters for his past actions, especially Hami, which he blithely admits he does partially deserve.Due to the events of the first game putting Aloy on a timer, she simply can't spare the time to fully investigate the strange movements of the machines in a remote area with the wider threat of HADES and the Eclipse happening simultaneously. It's also Downplayed, as it's implied that Ryas isn't as great a fighter as Aloy in exchange, and it wouldn't have been impossible for Aloy to perform the task herself, merely extremely difficult. ![]() He was even able to kidnap the child Itamen because of his impressive climbing capabilities, which is why Marad selected him for the task (along with giving him a chance to atone for his actions). Always Someone Better: As good a climber as Aloy is, Marad picking Ryas for the task of scaling the Sunspear implies that he's even better than her, and he has several pieces of gear specialised for scaling the sheer mountain peaks.This game contains examples of the following tropes: Ryas must contend with powerful machines and deadly environments, but his fellow man may be his deadliest threat. Released on Blameless Marad's orders, Ryas is given a daunting task climb the near-impassible slopes of the Sunspear and investigate the rising numbers of machines in the valley of Dawn's Grasp, which Marad fears may herald a new threat to the Sundom. Serving as a side-story to the events of the original game, it follows protagonist Ryas, 'Itamen's Shadow', a notorious soldier of the Shadow Carja, imprisoned for his actions during the Civil War. Released for the Playstation VR on February 22, 2023. Horizon: Call of the Mountain is a post-apocalyptic virtual reality spin-off/ Interquel of Horizon Zero Dawn by Guerrilla and Firesprite.
