Under the cut, please find the complete ending guide to reach the romantic ending in Petra's route, including descriptions from route writers behind the decision. Please note that during gameplay, answers may appear in a different order than indicated.

We all know Aloy’s always busy with endless tasks, but this answer shows she’s willing to spend some time with her favorite engineer and Oseram civic leader (not that she’s at a point to outright say that yet).

While these answers were similar, this is the answer that isn’t focused only on Aloy figuring it out on her own. It’s a more open-ended wistfulness that shows the events of Burning Shores left her more open to how she interacts with people.

This answer shows that Aloy wants Petra to come with her as an equal, rather than just grudgingly accepting her along or bringing her with as a sidekick.

This is a pretty straightforward one. Aloy wants to give Petra a way to keep up the flirting even when they’re apart.

Aloy knows Petra is an independent soul, so instead of putting her in a situation that takes away her control (riding on the same Charger), she offers to start slow so that Petra can become more comfortable with riding on her own.

Petra’s an engineer with a love of invention. This option shows that Aloy wants to make sure Petra understands how to use the Focus fully, rather than just as a tool to call her or follow a trail.

Aloy knows Petra is worried about her friends, and wants to comfort her before they get back on their Chargers to follow the trail.

The Grand Canyon presents a stunning view, but this answer shows that while Aloy wants to spend time just enjoying their surroundings, she knows that it isn’t the time right now with Petra’s friends still unaccounted for.

This option is the one where Aloy doesn’t brush aside Petra’s worry. Aloy’s told her the dangers of the last damaged and lightning-creating machine she’d dealt with, so Petra is understandably worried, and Aloy shouldn’t ignore that.

While Petra is back waiting for Aloy, this fight needs to be done carefully, as we all know how easy it is to damage parts in the middle of the fight (…Frostclaw sac webbing, looking at you).

We all know that Aloy is a loot-hoarder, but this time she’s got Petra and friends waiting for her. Because of this she’s gonna make the ultimate sacrifice and grab only the part that’s needed.

We hope you enjoyed your journey through the romantic Petra route! Now that you know how to best get a smooch, try to mix and match other options to get different endings as well! If you reached the romantic epilogue, we encourage you to give it another look, and really… Focus.

Oh hey y'all! The Spoiler embargo is finished and I can share what I made for @focusontheheart <3.

Firstly, my CG for my beloved Kotallo route (as well as all the sprites) showing my precious Blorbos going through their bonding swim <3.

Next I made a full CG for the beautiful Petra:

Walking through the Daunt, learning the focus and preparing for the adventure ahead!

And finally, my BOY, Drakka!

As they fall away from a Thunderjaw barrage, into an underground lake and on to their adventure!

My thanks to @fogsblue and @mayalli for the Kotallo and Petra guidance and love. ALSO an extra special thanks to the delightful @chloefraazers For the guidance with Drakka <3 and being a fellow Drakka stan as well!!

With the spoiler embargo lifted I can finally show you the CG illustration I've made for @focusontheheart!

It was such a fun experience to work only with a few details of the scene the team wanted - and I'm incredibly honored I got to draw such an important moment for the two of them! ♥️

Go play the game right now if you haven't yet!

I just want to say a massive thank you to the Focus on the Heart team. So far I've only managed to do Nil and Petra's routes, but Petra's story was just so much fun, and Nil's story had me smiling and crying in equal measure.

I just know that the other routes will be fantastic, both stories and art both. The whole team have made something special here, so thank you, thank you, thank you to all of you!

It’s @focusontheheart release day 🎉

I hope everyone has a blast playing it, everyone who worked on it put in so much time and effort and love into this project! Let us know how you like it!

As soon as the spoiler ban is lifted, I will need prints of my favorite CG pieces. I don't even think I'll frame them, just plaster them in crazy collage above my bed so I can stare at them forever.

I keep trying to read through the credits, matching up the artist with the CG but I'm not fast enough. So if you worked on art for this game, know that it's amazing and I love you.

just gonna join in the gushing a bit… @focusontheheart has been the most amazing project to be a part of 💙💙💙

seeing all the wonderful, enthusiastic, excited responses, hearing people enjoyed the stories, the art - getting the chance to be part of a story for Aloy has made it all feel worth it! ✨🎉✨🎉✨

but... I'm not gonna lie....

as the lead writer on Kotallo, working with @mayalli (writing) and @picksleydust (those amazing, beautifully drawn sprites 💖), I'm definitely so curious about everyone's thoughts, would love to know what people thought of Aloy's adventures with her Marshal 💙😉

and would love to see the thoughts on Petra too - @mayalli was our team Petra lead, with @maggierosestudio providing those stunning assets sprites 😏

please feel free to tag any of us, or send asks, we'd love to hear from you 💘💘
