In this part of Horizon Zero Dawn, Aloy wakes up inside the sacred mountain, the "Womb of the Mountain," after the attack at the Proving. She recovers her Focus and equipment. Teersa explains that Aloy was found in the mountain's "Great Chamber" (9:54) as a baby, implying the mountain is her "mother". The door to the chamber, which is referred to as "All-Mother," doesn't recognize Aloy due to "corruption".
The High Matriarchs anoint Aloy as a "Seeker", giving her the right to leave the sacred land to find answers about her past and the corruption affecting the machines. Aloy learns about the "tainted lands" and "metal world" ruins outside Nora territory. She also discovers that the "killers" at the Proving have a power over machines, corrupting them.
Aloy then encounters corrupted machines and kills a "demon". She examines the carcass and discovers that a device from the demon allows her to take control of other machines. She plans to test this new ability on her way to the gates of the Embrace, where she will speak with Varl to find a path to Meridian.
