Horizon Forbidden West contains its fair share of mysteries, which was expected, and tells a lot of side stories through data points.

At the top of the list is the truth about the man responsible for the apocalypse, Ted Faro. Read at your own discretion — late-game story beat and location spoilers ahead.
