The Curse of El Dorado | Uncharted Drake's Fortune - All Descendant (Zombie) Encounters

[@Southhs]

"It's the Spaniards, Sully, _they never left!"_ Nolan's delivery really conveyed the horror behind what would normally be such simple dialogue.

[@1994moviebuff]

Yeah he’s traumatized as fuck lol. He’s not a horror guy clearly

[@hitrapperandartistdababy]

Favourite aspect about Drake’s fortune. “Its the spaniards Sully, they never left…” “Listen… nothing… Complete silence… We’re being Watched” “Lets move on so we dont find out who’s been chewing on this guy” So creepy dialogue

[@ItsChevnotJeff]

I remember knowing a bit about the zombies, but was on edge on when they'd show up. When they did, I was terrified, and when my dad came in, he thought he bought Resident Evil instead of the Uncharted series

[@anasshahid224]

The levels with the descendants were straight out of Resident Evil, no wonder your dad thought that!

[@thatbrownguy9014]

While I appreciate the grounded tone of Uncharted 4. I really missed the supernatrual element from the first 3 games

[@itsmeri1ey922]

Uncharted 1 was defo the scariest Uncharted 2 is a second

[@ItsChevnotJeff]

Uncharted 1 had a curse that turned out to be a virus Uncharted 2 basically had the equivalent of steroid-mixed tree meth Uncharted 3 had acid, and I think the ps vita had uranium-laced gold Uncharted 4 ends with a whole city destroyed by two men's greed I think this all tells a theme of hubris, and how man's mistakes could have disasterous consequences, from a city-wide unrest to straight up zombie apocalypse edit: The ps vita one is fixed

[@Vergilsolosyourfavouriteverse]

​@@itsmeri1ey922 yeah

[@LisaAnn777]

Idk if it's fair to call it "supernatural" though. There seemed to be some virus or mutagen that the Spanish attributed to a "curse" The zombie/vampire things in I am legend are similar to this and that isn't considered supernatural by most.

[@dannyhernandez265]

What scares me the most is the unknown history behind the mummified corpse within the Sarcophagus. Where did the virus come from? And who knows what happened to those that sealed it away long ago...

[@EightOfSupreme]

this is definitely the biggest mystery in the Uncharted universe.

Not to mention, if there where Mauled Nazi’s on the U boat in the amazons. Are they lurking about in the Amazon Jungle?

[@welcometothethanosworld89907]

@@EightOfSupreme i literally got stuck in chapter 18 and 19 because of how scary those things are

[@kieronspiteri]

Probably all got infected by it by opening that el dorado you saw those creatures those are people that opened the el dorado and got infected

[@LisaAnn777]

I want to know how the Germans built a base on an island already infested with mutated zombie people! Like did they just fight them off and then got taken over after experimenting on them? They literally built a giant U-boat base somehow! Uncharted was one of my first story driven games I really fell in loved with way back when so I've just always thought about this lol I get how the Spaniards built their stuff before they transported the coffin thing, but the rest is kind of unexplained. Also, some mutant zombies must have escaped into the Amazon since they attacked the German U-boat, so are they still there? Did they form another "community" or whatever these ones did on the island? Scary to think about lol 😆

[@DarthOminis]

My thoughts on the corpse in El Dorado: In reality (according to Wikipedia), El Hombre Dorado (The Golden Man) was the name given to a mythical tribe chief in South America who covered himself in gold. Over time, the myth grew from a man to a city, called El Dorado (The Golden One). Using this, I think the corpse is of El Hombre Dorado, and the curse is the evil, the greed that plagued his ways (he did cover himself in gold, after all) and the proof there is that when Roman turned, we see the instant 180 on his character, from a polite man with too much ambition, to a monster with one goal: kill, more speecifically kill Navarro (his first word after turning was 'Navarro'). And the Spaniards too; they turned and almost immediately tried to kill Francis Drake. Also the descendants evolved (or devolved depending on how you look at it) to fit their purpose of killing.

[@TermInator-np6vw]

The uncharted eldorado wiki page explains that one of the developers said that what transforms humans is a virus.

[@loganluck8415]

I agree, but I say it was a virus & that the corpse is patient zero

[@matthewmicelli6674]

YESSSSS!!! THANK YOU! It's about time somebody uploaded those early sighting prompts.

[@zen4ever3]

Yeah. Though technically there’s also hidden signs and structures early in the game that also hint at them.

[@Neptun246]

The particularly scary thing about Uncharted is that they don't know anything about the supernatural beings beforehand. For example, in The Last of Us, Resident Evil, Bioshock, or series like The Walking Dead, you know right from the start that there are zombies/monsters. This is not the case in Uncharted. They arrive at the island thinking it's just an ordinary treasure they want to find and in the meantime Eddy's boys are murdered by the descendants. Exactly what was scary about Uncharted also applies to parts 2 and 3.

[@AB-fr2ei]

You kinda introduced very early to the spiders in 3

[@anasshahid224]

Uncharted Drakes’s Fortune was really fun, the Descendants were the highlight for me, the creature design was really cool, felt like apes in a way, heavily mutated, the way Naughty Dog teased throughout the game that there is something else on the island was really well done, I got chills when Eddy Raja said something other then Nate was killing his men, the Bunker section felt straight out of a Resident Evil game, so atmospheric with Descendants everywhere with the dim lights! It was great to see Eddy and Nate team up against the descendants 👏👏👏

[@liltutu3s104]

"A whole colony just doesn't up and vanish" the Roanoke colony God knows where: 🤨

I don’t think I remember seeing those things in the DreamWorks El Dorado movie lol 😆. This is more like “I Am Legend”. Also what scares me is that they’re still on that island! Nathan didn’t kill them all. Dude in real life I would want the US military to nuke that island! Can you imagine being marooned in that place by accident? I can’t wait to see how they’ll handle this in the uncharted sequel film.

So basically el dorado must not leave the island but it can't stay on a island tho you have to destroy it so the curse goes

[@itsFOW]

It couldn't leave the island because it would have destroyed civilization. It could stay on the island because the island is already screwed, but by leaving it there it could have been picked up by someone else. It's not about the possibility to destroy the curse. I doubt there would be even a way to cure it
