All That Remains is the fifteenth main quest in Horizon Forbidden West, although the game refers to it as an "interlude".
Synopsis[]
Aloy awakens in the basement of a mysterious building, and is brought to tears after remembering Varl's death and Beta's capture. Soon after, she is spoken to through her Focus by Tilda, who explains that Beta is in the hands of the other Zeniths but not in immediate danger. The Zenith tells her to come and join her for breakfast when she's ready. As Aloy walks down the hallway, she finds a collection of Old World art that Tilda collected and safe-kept before she left aboard the Odyssey. After perusing the art as much as she chooses (sometimes with Tilda providing commentary on the piece), Aloy joins Tilda.
Tilda explains that the Zeniths had been observing HEPHAESTUS long enough to see through her ruse at Cauldron GEMINI, as well as how she escaped with Aloy. Aloy recognizes the ruin as the house that Tilda had once created for Beta in the Data Channel. While Aloy is understandably slow to trust Tilda, she relents when Tilda shares what she's learned from the Focus Aloy discarded at LATOPOLIS. Tilda claims that seeing Aloy has reminded her of Elisabet, and caused her to rethink her priorities: she offers now to help Aloy rescue Beta and GAIA, and use the copy of APOLLO aboard the Odyssey to restore the terraforming system to the way Elisabet had intended.
Tilda shares Sylens' end game: he plans to assault the Zenith base and obtain their copy of APOLLO. Regalla, who is preparing a final massive assault on the Memorial Grove as they speak, will unite the Tenakth behind her through her conquest, creating an army for Sylens to launch against the Zeniths. While the other Zeniths and Tenakth fight each other, Tilda plans to have her and Aloy use the battle to infiltrate the base and steal the spoils from under Sylens' nose.
Aloy refuses to accept the plan, pointing out that it would spell doom for the Tenakth. After a moment of thought, she devises an alternate solution. First, she has Tilda open up the old Data Channel to Beta, to whom she whispers something. When asked by Tilda what she said, Aloy simply replies that is a matter between her and her sister. She then shares the next step: stopping Regalla for good, forcing Sylens to cooperate. Tilda is visibly dubious but nevertheless decides to offer Aloy some additional help, providing her with a program that will help her stop Regalla. With that set in place, Aloy sets off to her Base, in order to lay Varl to rest.
