Trivia[]
- The Oseram Forester outfit can be found in the Rockbreaker's arena.
- When Aloy comes across the cave containing Burrowers and Spikesnout, she identifies the Burrowers but not the Spikesnout. This is presumably to avoid a scenario where Aloy "recognises" a Spikesnout despite having never seen one before in somebody's playthrough. That wouldn't be an issue with the Burrowers, since Aloy is unavoidably introduced to them at the start of the game.
- As Lunda dies, she asks Aloy if any Oseram survived. If the player takes the quest from Porguf, Aloy can confirm this (having seen Camp Nowhere) and give Lunda closure. If the player enters the tunnel without formally accepting the quest, Aloy tells Lunda that she doesn't know if anyone survived, and Lunda dies stubbornly hoping that some managed to.
- The latter happens even if Aloy has been to Camp Nowhere, since Lunda's dialogue doesn't specify which group of Oseram she is referring to.
- Should Aloy kill the Rockbreaker in the clearing before talking to Porguf, she will mention this to him, after which he will tell her to keep quiet about it to keep the rest of the crew from panicking.
- If the player passes Camp Nowhere (but doesn't formally accept the quest), and is killed inside the tunnel soon after, it is possible to respawn at the camp, despite not saving at its campfire or seeing the "Camp Nowhere" location header.
