/* ---- VIDEO INFORMATION ---- */
Welcome to the Heavy Spoilers show. I'm your host Paul, aka the guy who always gets a Joel in one, and in this video, we're breaking down everything we think could be happening with The Last of Us, Part 3. The game is yet to be announced, but there are leaks and rumours out there, and throughout this video, we're going to be breaking down everything that we think could be happening in the title.
Full spoilers ahead, including the ending of Part 2, so if you haven't played that, then I highly recommend that you turn off now. Please hit the thumbs up button if you enjoy the video, and make sure you subscribe for more Last of Us videos on the show and game. With that out of the way, a huge thank you for clicking this, now let's get into The Last Of Us Part 3.
How Does The Last Of Us Part 2 End?
Now Part 2 actually contains some clues about where things could be going. At the end of the game, we follow Abby and Lev as they make their way on their own away from Seattle. The pair are looking for fireflies, and we discover that after the events of Part 1, they pretty much disbanded. Ellie actually came across some graffiti at one point, calling them liars, and we learn that Abby ended up having to join the WLF because they'd fallen apart. However, rumours had arisen once more that they were out there, and we joined the pair as they came across an abandoned firefly outpost packed with supplies and a radio. After speaking into it, they heard back from one of their members, and we got this scene.
Now, upon leaving this house, rattlers arrive and capture both of them. Because of this, many have suspected that the radio call was just a trap and that they were finding out where they were so that they could take them in. The Rattlers are slavers, and though we don't know exactly what happened with the pair, they got really messed up.

I hope it will be Co-Op mode with Ellie and Abby. It's like they become closer because they worked together. BUT there should be a twist at the end. Maybe a betrayal? Or maybe one saves the other type thing? I hate the idea of them staying enemies this whole time. It's too predictable.

I want Ellie to find a purpose, but the more I think about it, the more I don't want that purpose to be a cure. I want her to find value in herself beyond just her immunity. It's pretty clear she has her self-worth tied up in her immunity and sees herself as worthless if that purpose is taken from her. So all I want is for her to learn that she has worth and value just for being who she is.

[@HK-gm8pe]

I dont even believe that cure would fix this world... yeah infected are huge problem but humans in this world are even bigger problem

[@vanthursday]

Why are people so against Ellie to be a cure. Alot of people died for her starting with Tess. Ellie is no doctor. Taking a chance for a cure is more worth than watching the whole world kill each other the longer she remains silent. The fungus wont stop evolving till it takes over all the humans. You seen how it evolved the longer they let them infect more people. It will be more heartbreaking if another kid had to sacrifice themselves to save everyone else.

[@lluvalle]

I think a good direction for part 3 would be if a much older and experienced Ellie stumbles across another kid that’s immune and has a similar journey to Joel where she struggles to open up and never tells them that she’s immune too. But in the end she sacrifices herself instead so that kid can grow up and have a chance at life like she did, as she finally REALLY understands Joel’s choice, and Ellie also gets to save the world like she always wanted. Also maybe they cross paths with Abby as they have to get her fathers research notes to perform the surgery and there is palpable tension but they help each other in the long run.

[@sabrinarei3052]

There is one clear direction for this story to go and Ellie will likely be the main character again. She has a lot of red in her ledger and the idea of her becoming a Legendary figure within the Wild West of the post apocalyptic world makes a lot of sense. She's like a whisper on the wind. The woman who cannot be infected. Traveling town to town getting wrapped up in the stories she finds. Taking the sides of those too weak to fight for themselves. Seeking a good death. And sorry to say it but not even one Joel scene. Leaving behind his guitar was symbolic and it's time to carry the story forward without him.

[@guelspace]

Agreed with the Joel part, it's time to look forward to new horizons and find a new purpose to keep fighting for.

[@mickaylavannatter8841]

The only way I could see them putting a Joel scene in is at the very end if Ellie were to die or something but I can’t imagine it fitting anywhere

[@beck2752]

I think Ellie dying For a cure is a dumb idea. For 1, it makes Joel's choice in part pointless and by extension part 2 pointless. The cure needs to stay dead. For 2, it's given into the stupid notion that Ellie's entire existence is just to die and it's also given into her trauma as opposed to healing from it. It's like letting rue from euphoria to continue abusing drugs. Part 3 should be about Ellie moving past her martyr-hero complex and to see value in being alive. It's like Anna said "life is worth living."

[@midnightprodigy4724]

I honeslty think the cure is fake. Just because ellie is immune doesnt mean it's going to do anything to anyone else it could literally only be something related to Ellie and the fireflies are just pissed that they cant have her gift which honestly I'd say is more a curse having to know everyone else you know around you can go to the infection at any point while you are forced to say behind and watch.

[@OperatorMax1993]

agreed, even if the Fireflies made a cure which is wierd because the cordyceps is a fungus and not a virus, all it would do is add more to the Fireflies' corruption

[@bakli322]

exactly, going back to finding a cure is so basic and it will just ruin joel's part as well.

[@debrawestbrook8960]

I really want to know what happened to Abby and Lev before Ellie found them. I also feel as though Ellie needs to know that Abby's vengeance had nothing to do with the loss of a cure, but that Joel stole what really mattered to her, which is her father. Maybe the Fireflies would have tried to come after them if he kept them alive, but killing the doctor was out of line. It is statistically impossible that Ellie is the ONLY person with immunity, even if she is the only one they know about thus far.

[@danwillburn]

If there was ever one more sequel, which there admittedly probably shouldn’t be. I’d like to see Joel and Tess year 2 of the outbreak. Joel telling Ellie, the dirty truth about him and Tess surviving. The reason Tommy left.

[@N3groN3rdZ]

I dont think Joel And Tess were together 2 years after the outbreak. I thought Joel and Tommy did their own thing for a bit before getting to Boston.

[@gavinjara2053]

That wouldn’t be a proper sequel then just a prequel

[@NoonMight]

A prequel idea with Joel sounds smart, we could see how he changed and adjusted to the apocalypse

[@Shane_111]

Yeah it would be more about Joel and Tommy learning to survive this new world and then years on they would meet Tess. They could probably have the story be from Tommy's perspective to show that since Joel lost Sarah he has become far more jaded and cruel (doing bad things to ensure his and Tommy's survival). Then when they meet Tess, tommy doesn't really like her because she brings out the parts of Joel that is cruel and only caring about himself and the people around him. It could end with tommy leaving to join the fireflies while Joel and Tess go to Boston (sadly the Tess voice actor passed away so it might not be possible).

[@gavinjara2053]

@@NoonMight I agree but that should be more of a spin-off then a continuation which I hope they do

[@joshuaspruett]

Okay I think it's very important to say that she WAS NOT hit with a PTSD flashback of Joel's death. The memory that she recalled is actually from her last conversation with Joel, which you see shortly after her final fight with Abby. In that scene she tells Joel that she doesn't know if she can forgive him but she would like to try. The reason she stopped the fight with Abby is because she was reminded she was capable of trying to forgive people, not because she was reminded of the very reason she was trying to kill Abby in the first place.

Man. Part 3 HAS to be about forgiveness and redemption. In some way, those two ideas stem form combining hope/love with hatred. Ellie has to forgive Abby and work towards the vaccine because of the love she had for Joel and the people Abby murdered, Abby has to forgive Ellie and move passed her hatred because of some plot device in Part 3 maybe on the islands.

[@andyt2363]

Thanks Paul and team, interesting theories. Even though the part 3 plot is "finalized"; it may need further amendments depending on how part 2 on TV will be received, especially regarding Abby

[@HeWhoIsNamedPatrick]

Pt 3 will begin with Abby and Lev finding the fireflies who are in contact with a firefly cell from South America who has the oriiginal Patient 0 who is infected and contagious but not turned or growing fungus from their body. One of the doctors working their finds out that by combining both Ellie’s and patient 0’s dna a cure can be made but only if they are alive. This will take us to back to pt 1 where Joel saving Ellie from the surgery actually saved the worlds only hope for a cure.

This is good! Too bad ND will botch it n not do anything close to this

This is very satisfying, even though it it doesn't really make sense scientifically in terms of cure being the combination of DNA. There would need to be some other explanation that is more plausible.

[@adleezy]

@@joech1065 Maybe multiple dna samples would be needed to fine tune the cure, and they need to be alive because death allows more freedom for the cordycepts to the corrupt the now corpse. we haven’t explored what might happen if someone “immune” who is infected were to die, whether that be from being eaten alive or old age

[@Nicholas_V]

I'm sorry but this is the dumbest thing I've read in the comment section yet and it doesn't fit TLOU at all. This is waaaaay too Marvel. TLOU is way more realistic and scientific. We also already know the outbreak started in Indonesia. Patient zero being in South America is just stupid. Combining DNA has nothing to do with Fungi infection. It doesn't work like that.

In my opinion, Part III would be great if it were once again split into two different narratives: Ellie in present time, on a new adventure, and then another narrative of Joel at various points during the 20 years of the pandemic. His time with Tommy before he left for the Fireflies, his time with Tess, etc. Then somehow have these two stories reflect and parallel each other. I think it’d be great, personally…

Last of us is just a masterpiece! Beautiful story!

[@sebastienbolduc5654]

Elie giving herself up for a cure would be totally horrible. That's not carrying the story full circle. It's creating no meaning for part 1. It's like removing the paint from the Mona Lisa and calling it a masterpiece. If anything, part 3 should be a redemption story. It should be about people in that world finding their humanity again, like Joel did. Everyone one in that world had sins. None of them were a saint. They all killed. Abby people's trying to kill her, and then her having to kill them like Joel did with the Fireflies. I think Abby eventually understood why Joel killed her father, after she tried to protect Lev from the WLF. She did exactly what Joel did with Ellie, if one pays attention to the parallels between both characters. She killed a whole lot of people to protect a child. Joel did the same. For me, part 2 was a story of love and hate. We all have it within us. And in order to understand one, you must experience both. It's part of growing up and gaining wisdom. It's also based on love and hate, but through the eyes of different perspectives. I don't think part 2 was written well enough to deliver that message though. It could have been delivered in a much better manner. It's confusing because in real life it's also confusing to comprehend. But generational hatred can manifest itself into love. Or as the saying goes, the sin of the father should not pass onto the son. A redemption story would be better.

[@TomTomson81]

The ideal ending for everyone would probably be if Ellie finally brings the cure, but she does not have to die anymore. Joel would have done everything right to save her, at least as far as Ellie was concerned. The Fireflys then bring the rescue. Ellie would have fulfilled her destiny. But it's TLOU that's why this will never happen.

[@br3bid10]

I feel like something like this makes sense. Maybe with some flashbacks for Abby to cover her time in captivity.

[@hoshireed77]

I have a rough outline for a fanfic. Rumor of a mysterious immune women has spread. Communities want to either kill her, (groups that think the infection is "God's Will), or to sell her to get the inoculation first. Some may even believe it is possible to become immune through ritual instead of science and hunt her to control her. Not easy when you have no clue who the mysterious woman is or what she looks like. Tons of innocent women are killed in these hunts/tests. Fireflies find an old world Dr, a brain surgeon that can do it and keep her alive. They send a party to Jackson to grab her. Abby and Lev are some of them. Ellie agrees to go. As they travel (party of 4) to CA, they encounter the signs that humanity may be too far gone and a cure may end up just being a tool/means to enslave, control, be a payday, etc. FEDRA wants to limit distribution to only the upright person, so criminals, cannibals, raiders, etc are persona no grata and they plan to ban them from being inoculated. Small communities want to make a buck and be first in line for the cure, highest bidder wins Cults either want her dead or to control her in hopes that they can become immune without science and will be the only ones safe. Fireflies want to restore the US, including forcing small communes like Jackson to be more capitalistic. This ends up bothering Ellie. Even though she knows she will survive, she is disillusioned at humanity and right near their goal she runs back to Jackson, not wanting any group to have that much power over those she loves in Jackson. A Jackson resident tries to betray her and Ellie has to kill them (maybe even Maria). Ellie, in the end, decides it is too risky to live, as she would always fear being used as a pawn to gain power and she unalives herself. Her body spores and drifts towards children playing (JJ and Tommy's kid being among them), guaranteeing that those she loves will be protected like she was.

I would say have some sort of story where Ellie gets to make the choice to be the cure juxtaposed with Abby almost becoming like Joel trying to save her. That would have Abby understand why Joel did what he did but ultimately it’s not up to her, Joel, or the fireflies making the choice. It was always Ellie’s and should end that way.

All I really want is for Ellie and Tommy to work together. I just want more Tommy in general, how he moves on from Joel’s death and him and Ellie’s relationship. It could be come tricky to write, but ideally for me I want them to have similar dynamic as Joel-Ellie while still not “replacing” Joel in anyway. Maybe they could go off to help one of them find something they’re looking for (I’m thinking maybe Ellie finding the fireflies). I just want both of them to have happy endings, or at least bittersweet ones. It’s what they both deserve in my opinion.

[@pheonixsmokey3773]

Could be like Joel and Ellie except instead of a father and daughter dynamic its more like they’re friends or like a mentorship

[@robchuk4136]

They meet Nathan Drake

[@skelaiton]

I think it would be nice if Ellie goes back to Jackson and asks Dina for forgiveness, hopefully they raise their family together again, and Ellie then realizes with a clearer mind, that she’s more than just her immunity. I feel Dina is really good at helping Ellie and she really loves her.

[@wylerXL]

I am not excited to have a part 3. the storytelling of part 2 is superb but the sequencing of event is not friendly from gamer's POV. i prefer the way little nightmare did to tell the backstory of the 2nd character (as dlc). it doesn't put the player in a mediocre situation but still arrived at the same outcome.

[@nikitaoake123]

Thank you for the updates on everything look forward to the future games 😊

[@racheleverett7940]

I suppose that in the third part, Ellie and Abby will meet again in a situation where they need to act together, they will treat each other coldly, but still in the end they will forgive each other for everything because they make peace with the enemy, not with a friend, and perhaps Ellie will save Abby life again when Tommy tries to kill her or at the end we will see such a situation. On the way to the place where the vaccine was created, Abby will bite and Ellie will sacrifice herself to create the vaccine. Abby will be the one on whom it will be tested and the vaccine will work.

[@Robbykid95]

Ellie has a mutated version of cordyceps - she is infected, but this mutated version she has doesn't make her turn If Ellie was to bite someone, she would infect that person with the mutated 'safe' cordyceps, hence making them immune Throughout part 1 and part 2 Ellie never left anyone alive long enough to figure this out. At the end of part 2, Abby bit Ellie's finger off, infecting herself with the 'safe' version of cordyceps This, I bet is the overarching story of the last of us part 3. What you guys think?

[@TheSolidfoxhound]

damn that's actually plausible

[@MatildaV1980]

That sounds really good 👍🏻

[@MissWampire]

Amazing plot. :)

[@moldykyle5815]

That does sound really good, maybe its something that needs to be done before the person is infected. Because ellie shared blood with sam but he still turned. Your theory still could be correct tho

[@Ultimate_Lyfe]

I think Ellie already bit abby when they were fighting earlier. but your point still stands, we know that Ellie can't infect anyone because Neil has already confirmed that but a "safe" infection seems really interesting

[@bigpapi_gabe5678]

i hope it’s better than part two cuz it could’ve been a good story if the plot wasn’t all over the place and characters actually had more depth in them

[@Jordashian93]

Can’t wait for the official reveal of part III

[@OA.111]

I think that's probably going to happen at the end of 2025 Q4, when the ps6 comes out in 2026 than maybe even earlier, like 2024Q4, but tbh i don't think so

[@TonyStackzz]

i wouldn't be surprised if Elie try's to seduce Abby 🤣

[@neutwho]

I would love to see a character in Part III who is, like Ellie, immune and prone to violence, but has some other sort of mutation or deviance that makes them a truly terrifying and powerful, but ultimately human, enemy. Idk if that's in line with the overall pretty grounded storytelling in this series, so far, but who knows? Both of the games in this series have surprised me a lot, so I'm sure the next one will too, no matter the theories!

[@amyboscacci3010]

Part 3 Ellie and Abby should team up against a big Group of people Something how like both lev and Dina end up getting killed by this group at different times both Ellie and Abby are both out for blood and end up crossing paths once again!! Shit would be interesting Maybe that Group Dina mentioned called the Ravens would be the ones to do it

[@jakeriggs8506]

My theory is you start of TLOU3 as Abby w/ Lev something happens where Abby is attacked and taken prisoner. Lev then has to go and find Ellie to help track down Abbys whereabouts. Ellie at this point never returned to Jackson and has become a sort of hermit living off the land and avoiding any new relationships.

[@bonnnetwork]

I feel like Ellie would want nothing to do with those two

[@jasondavis2995]

​@Ethan Bonn all the more reason. Especially if the fireflies actually turn out to be there. Maybe Ellie feels like she might have one more chance to do something with her blood since she was robbed of that.

[@TyDieMusic]

Why the hell would Lev find the person who tracked them down to kill them? 😅

[@joneubanks9686]

That sounds nasty as hell dude. fuck them too

Can’t wait to see what they have in store for part3. Very exciting!!!

[@sherrie553]

Probably ellie and dina get back together and live happily ever after

[@RizzyDrizzyNewSiNN]

I kinda want the cure to be something less obvious like Abby being bitten later and “for some reason” she doesn’t get infected but then discovers it’s due to Ellie biting her then we’d see Abby repeat Joel’s actions to save Ellie and get the real cure out to people. This gives Ellie her purpose, justifies Joel’s actions, gives Abby a chance to forgive and be forgiven by the fans, and develop a happy ending for all fans.

[@pineapplesplash9166]

Yes!! I see you noticed that tiny detail too. I’ve always said this is likely to happen. Ellie also kissed Dina even when she was pregnant, so it’s possible it passed on to her as well. Neither of them will release they’re immune until they get into a situation where it becomes clear.

[@pineapplesplash9166]

It’ll prove Joel actions were justified. She didn’t need to die for a cure, she finds her true purpose to live.

[@Leon-ku9gf]

Not gonna lie, this would be a perfect third part for me! Cool Idea Buddy

[@jamiereeve3136]

That’s actually a great plot. If Abby doesn’t have some story arch of redemption or understanding then it’ll be hard for players to forgive. The most important thing with Abby is making her likeable or relatable. She didn’t want to fight Ellie on the beach and maybe seeing Ellie so broken in the water might play on her mind? 😂

[@fox-dies]

they already established ellie cannot pass on a cure (or infection) through biting.

[@matthewlee4697]

I just want the story to come full circle as ellie being the savior of mankind ,I think the series should end with ellie saving the world which would circle back to the beginning of part one.ellie is the neo of the story basically, not saying she should sacrifice herself like he did but I think she should be the one who restores hope to mankind and perhaps have a happy ending with dina and the kid as they watch mankind get back on its feet finally...hell who know maybe she should be shown at the end as an older woman writing a memoir about her journey with joel and their adventures when she was living in the post apocalypse.

[@adityabhusari9645]

Give us a prequel, let us play as tommy while his time with tess and joel, tell wtf happened in those 20 years, and then just end it, don't touch the last of us ip again, it should'nt have been touched for part 2 too, but let part 2's story end there, give us a prequel, I want more joel and tommy bcuz let's be honest most of the people don't care about the new characters.

I think Abby and Ellie will team up in a quest to get Ellie to someone who can make a cure

[@LeoLeeGaming]

If part 3 will be the final arc of TLOU story, then Ellie should be the cure. However, we have to remember that the treatment plan was made by one doctor. In part 3, it could be that other Firefly doctors found a way to create a cure while keeping Ellie alive. Or they could go the doom and gloom route by making it so that a cure was never possible. Maybe find out others around the world are also immune. And these immune people are basically the future of the human race meaning they must bear children.

[@Good_Boy_3000]

Keep in mind that Brain biopsy is a thing. Even Hemispherectomy. There's literally no reason why to kill her for access to her Cordyceps.

[@mukherjeechandr379]

I think part3 will focus on the Rattlers storyline which will eventually tie up Abby and Ellie too(considering she killed dozens of them). And most likely Ellie will die at the end.

[@stargrxl]

Lev discovers he is immune, and history repeats itself at the end of TLOU pt 1, this time as Abby as Joel and Lev as Ellie, Abby comes to the realization that she is no better than Joel, understanding what he did and why he did it. Abby dies. Lev runs into Ellie, and they form a bond that is similar to the bond that Abby and Lev had. While traveling, they bump into someone that catches them without masks as they are in an area where there are spores, Ellie and Lev become wanted. One hates Abby the other doesn't, they move past their unshared feelings towards Abby and fight to survive, each learning about the other in the process, and they learn from each other as well as individually.

Lev is a grown guy now.. abby a bit old... and Ellie tried to talk to Dina, things wont workout but Tommy takes care of things and end of story for Tommy. Ellie, looking for a new purpose, finds someone immune and tries to protect him/her till the end. Meanwhile, scars are gone Abby tries to take revenge from the rattles and crosses path with Ellie, they work together to finish the rattles and then firefly happens Ellie dies and Abby promise her to save the other guy. DIna and everyone in Wyoming knows and trys to take revenge ends up embracing Abby as their own and Tommy forgives her and story ends.
