In this open-world RPG adventure, Aloy will face some choices not just in the main missions, but the side quests too. One of those happens to be between feuding tribe members. In Horizon: Forbidden West, you have to choose whose side to be on in a civil war: Yarra or Drakka?
Choose Yarra or Drakka in Horizon: Forbidden West?
In the “Gate of the Vanquished” quest, Aloy’s put right in the middle between Yarra and Drakka’s feud. This bitterness between the pair, both leaders in the Tenakth tribe, stems from a political issue. Before we choose either Yarra or Drakka in Horizon: Forbidden West, let’s see both sides of this civil war.
To start, the tribe doesn’t have enough water. You learn more about both parties and their reactions to this during the “Thirst for the Hunt” and “The Wound in the Sand” missions. During this time, you’ll discover that Drakka sent out scouts to figure out what is going on and that one of his men tampered with the pumps. This dried out the Scalding Spear in the first place. From there, Yarra lied to her people as she wanted to fix everything without anyone knowing.
So, the two fractions are butting heads. Drakka wants to overthrow Yarra for her lies while Yarra feels shame, but still stands with her tribe and won’t back down.
Horizon: Forbidden West doesn’t really present a bad guy between Yarra and Drakka for Aloy to pick between. You are given three options though:
- Side with Yarra
- Side with Drakka
- You both need to stand down
Of course, the last one means absolutely nothing and you have to pick someone. At the end of the day though, it doesn’t really matter who you pick. There are no lasting consequences besides who you talk to later in the game to receive another mission. The mission you get later is the same. All your decision does is decide which leader is executed, who becomes the new Desert Commander, and which fraction of the tribe is subsequently wiped out in battle.
