Game quotes
Aloy: I'm running out of time, Elisabet. The land is dying. People are suffering. Soon, they'll starve. All because of a terraforming system that's spiraling out of control. And only I… Only I have your genetic code. It won't be long before we hit the point of no return. And then… Extinction. I've been searching for months for what I need. A backup of GAIA, the AI you designed to control the system. But every time I think I have a lead, it comes to nothing. And every night I have the same dream. I'm walking under a brilliant night sky, through a field of flowers. And when I arrive at the center… I see you, Elisabet. Waiting for me. Even though you've been dead for a thousand years. You're the closest person I've ever had to a mother. And for a moment, I feel whole. But it never lasts. I’m always left alone. This world is your legacy, Elisabet. I won't let it slip away. The valley below is my only remaining lead. My last hope to find the backup. I'll do whatever it takes to get it. I promise.
Varl: [chuckles] Well, I didn't exactly have time to shave while I was chasing after you. Don't worry, it's not permanent.
Aloy: Good.
Varl: [laughs] Sorry my whiskers offend you, Anointed.
Aloy: Good.
Varl: [laughs] Sorry my whiskers offend you, Anointed.
Varl: What's going on?
Erend: The usual. Aloy's trying to do something impossible, someone's trying to stop her. It's not going to work.

Aloy: I don't have a price. I am not a hired killer. I'm here to save lives, more than you can count.
Hekarro: I count the corpses of Marshals slain. I count hundreds more Tenakth whose lives hang in the balance. I will fight for them. I will kill anyone who threatens the peace, and you will too if you want me to open the door to the chamber below.
Aloy: Okay. So, by that logic, what's stopping me from killing you right now and taking what I need to save everyone?
Hekarro: You could try. You might even succeed. Either way, you must fight. My way might hold off Regalla and the slaughter she craves.
Aloy: ...Fine. What do you need?

Narrator: Hear now the words that reunited a people. Following the tragic events of the war, Anne Faraday, the chief architect of the reconciliation effort, addressed a nation in need of hope.
Anne Faraday: If we look to the future through the lens of the recent past, our fears loom: Wars waged against machines. Scarcity of food and water. Storms that drive us from our homes. But true courage means facing those fears with conviction instead of cynicism. Leading the peacekeeping efforts with these brave men and women, these "Marshals" of the new southwest... has strengthened my conviction that when we are united, we can overcome any threat. Join me—join us—in that conviction, as we strive for a nation and a world without want or war.
[recorded Marshals salute Faraday, and she salutes back]
[the assembled Tenakth salute Hekarro, and he salutes back]

Erend: Aloy... in case we don't make it... I just have one regret.
Aloy: What is it?
Erend: That we had to do all this climbing.
Aloy: What is it?
Erend: That we had to do all this climbing.
Aloy: There's another battle ahead, Elizabet...very different than the one you fought. It's not about the distant hope of creating a new world...it's about preserving the one we have. My friends have a new mission - to spread the word and ask for help. They've taken it in stride. I think it's because they've always known what I've only just started to understand. That the people of this world have the strength to fight any battle...the ingenuity to solve any problem...the courage to overcome any obstacle...and the resilience to rise after any setback. As for me - I can't say I'm not afraid. What lies ahead will be harder than anything we've faced before. But I know I can put the fear aside. Because for the first time in my life...I feel like I'm not alone.
Meta quotes
Gabe: You're telling me Guerilla Games released the first Horizon against Breath of the Wild, and the second Horizon against Elden fucking Ring? One may be regarded as a misfortune, two looks like carelessness.
Tycho: Or a curse. Let's see where their office is situated. Yeah. See? Look: it's built directly over the Nexus of Ansiel! No doubt its construction must have disturbed one of the thirteen hallowed seals.
