"Home. To think he built all this... alone. So many memories. It's not home anymore, not without Rost."

Aloy in her bed.[1]

The hovel is a small, wooden dwelling southeast of Mother's Heart, near Rost's Grave. Inside the hovel is a fire that provides heat for the home, with a bed each for Rost and Aloy.[1]

Surrounding the hovel are seven Grazer dummies, a campfire, and a wall made of logs with two exits, one leading southeast, the other leading southwest.

History[]

The hovel was built by Rost once he was made an outcast,[2] and where he lived until his death. It was also where Aloy lived from when she was given to Rost as a baby[3] until the night before the Proving.[4]

Rost's remains were buried near his hovel. While Aloy may return to Rost's grave to tell him about her adventures, she does not see the hovel as home without Rost.[2]

A potential Banuk figure in the hovel.[1]

  • A doll identical to that of a Banuk figure can be seen inside the hovel on Aloy's bed.[1] Whether this is a seventh Banuk figure made by Arnak or simply a reused asset is unknown.
