Atekka is a character in Horizon Forbidden West, serving as the commander of the Tenakth Lowland Clan.
History[]
Atekka was once a member of Hekarro's squad, serving under him in the battle when he conquered the Memorial Grove. When Hekarro declared his goals to unite the clans in peace, Atekka quickly offered to join his Marshals. However, at Hekarro's request, she agreed to remain in the Lowland Clan to provide him with the support he needed within the clan. After completing the traditional rites, which included five days of brutal fighting, Atekka succeeded Hekarro as the Lowland Commander, and has held the position ever since.[1]
The greatest challenge Atekka would face as commander was the proliferation of red algae in the Lowland's rivers, which the clan named the "Blood Choke". Marshal Fashav was sent to meet her and try to find a solution, to which they failed.[2] She planned to back Hekarro during the rebellion of Regalla, but with the Blood Choke threatening the clan's water supply, she was in no position to help the Tenakth Chief.[1]
When Aloy returned POSEIDON to GAIA,[3] most of the Blood Choke in the area cleared up. However, the river that flowed into Thornmarsh remained contaminated.[1]
Atekka asked Hekarro's champion, Aloy, to investigate. Together, they discovered that rebels were responsible by blocking the water flow using a pile of dead machines, preventing fresh water from flushing out the Blood Choke in Thornmarsh. The pair kill the rebels and their overridden Fireclaw, then destroyed the machine pile, finally allowing the water in Thornmarsh to clear up. Atekka thanks Aloy for her assistance, and finally being able to stand alongside her clan with Hekarro.[4]
