Examined the Orb that Contained HADES
Time for a stroll down memory lane. Once you regain control of Aloy, approach the nearby orb to examine it.
Climb up to the Base of the Spire
A red spark travelled all the way up to the top of the nearby spire. As usual, start by scanning your surroundings with your Focus and you should highlight some climbable ropes by the scaffolding, to the right of the orb we examined.
Climb the rope, then press 
without touching the left or right stick to jump backward to a ledge.
Then climb the next yellow object, jump backward, then jump to the side by hold 
and pressing .
At the top you’ll have to use your pullcaster to pull a wooden beam to you, then climb on it ( 
+ 
> 
).
At the end of the wooden beam look to your right to pull an electrical panel open with the pullcaster. Jump to it by double-tapping 
.
Climb the Spire
Climb up the Spire, in the 2nd climbing section you must climb up and to the side. Hold the left stick and press to jump to distant objects.
Return to Marad and Varl
Time to go back to Marad and Varl to fill them in on your recent findings.
Modify Your Spear – Talk to Your Friends (Optional)
Time to modify Aloy’s newly gifted weapon, the Champion’s Spear. Approach the main waypoint to interact with a workbench and start modifying.
Optionally, you can talk to the various NPCs here but it’s not mandatory.
Return to Marad and Varl
Now go reunite with Marad and Varl. They’re standing next to Aloy’s statue. If you’re ready, select “Time to Go”.
