Starting Location: Chainscrape
Go to Barren Light
Time to head for Barren Light to finally start the Embassy.
On the way to Barren Light, you’ll encounter some Chargers who are weak to Shock Damage.
You can totally ignore them, but if you want a faster way to get around, it’s recommended to mount one (step required for trophy or achievement Rode All Regular Mounts). To do so, you need to sneak up on it and override it first without getting caught. This will allow you to use the Charger as your steed.
Once you get to Barren Light, enter the fort and approach the guards standing by the gate to talk to them.
Talk to the Guards
Aloy won’t be granted access to the Embassy just yet and so she desires to speak with the commander Nozar to convince him to open the gate.
Follow Lawan
Now follow Lawan up the scaffolding and you’ll meet the commander Nozar.
Talk to Commander Nozar
Nozar tells Aloy that the Embassy cannot begin until all three Tenakth tribes sound their horn. While talking to Nozar, you can decide to wait for the tribes to arrive or go look for them, thus proceeding with the quest. Meanwhile, Varl has caught up with Aloy and joins her back.
Go to the Embassy Location
We can finally head for the Embassy location. Make your way to the marker, and, as usual, grab any parts or resources you can carry.
Kill the Rebels
After the long cutscene, get ready to fight off some Rebels. Most of them will be riding Chargers. You can aim at either the Rebels themselves or the Chargers to kill them. In the second section of the encounter, kill any stragglers.
Kill Regalla’s Champion
From atop the cliff, Regalla will grant her most valuable champion, Grudda, the honor of fighting Aloy. He carries a shield, but in order to attack him, the shield needs to be weakened first. You can weaken it with Acid Arrows or Shock Tripwires.
Once the shield is gone, Grudda will be immune to any attack. You can use this time window to damage Grudda, but be quick because the shield regenerates. Once you’ve finished Grudda, a new cutscene will start. You will also have obtained the Shieldwing, an energy-based glider Aloy can use to safely land from high altitudes.
