With Dying Light 2 right around the corner\h I, Suggestive Gaming, figured now would be\h\h a great time to take a look at where the story\h currently stands to get ready for the long-awaited\h\h

sequel. A couple notes before we start:

as always,\h Ill have to leave some stuff out in order to keep\h\h this video succinct. This includes most of the\h side-stories and optional quests in the first\h\h game, to better focus on the main story. I also\h wont be talking about Dying Light: Bad Blood, the\h\h standalone battle royale title, since its pretty\h light on story elements. Additionally, I wont be\h\h going over the Dying Light 2 audio stories over\h on the official YouTube channel of the game, since\h\h theyre mostly standalone, but Ill leave a link\h in the description if you want to check those out. Another quick note is that since the DLC\h expansion, The Following, has three possible\h\h endings (and developer Techland is keeping\h quiet on which one is actually canon, although\h\h theres a pretty good idea of which one is),\h Ill be covering all three during that section. Also, because this video will likely get\h demonetized thanks to a lot of talk about things\h\h that are coincidentally currently affecting the\h world. Ill just leave a quick reminder that Ive\h\h got a Patreon where you can directly support the\h channel and keep these videos coming out faster\h\h while being bigger and better. Or you can become a\h member here on YouTube, if thats more your style;\h\h links for both are in the description.\h Obviously not required but insanely appreciated. Alright, without further ado, this is\h What You Need to Know about Dying Light. Our story begins in the year 2014, where we find\h Dr. Khalim Abbas working in a free clinic in the\h\h slums of the city of Harran, Turkey. One\h of his patients, a boy named Jorin Baydar,\h\h comes in with flu-like symptoms after claiming\h to have been bit by a man in the Slums square.\h\h While Abbas simply writes it off as a stomach\h virus, the boy's feral behavior seems to point\h\h to something a bit more serious. This is proven\h when the boy is brought back in a few days later,\h\h but violently escapes, biting several\h family members in the process.\h As the days continue, more and more cases\h of unexplained violent attacks and missing\h\h persons occur in the city, but despite Abbas\h protests, President Hamid refuses to postpone\h\h the Global Athletic Games that are to\h be held in the city in the coming days,\h\h instead tasking the doctor with finding\h out whats causing the medical dilemma.\h The Games are allowed to go on, but the increased\h population only causes the reports of murder\h\h and missing persons to skyrocket. Abbas\h assembles a package of some blood samples\h\h of his patients to send to a colleague named\h Dr. Christina Marlow in the United States,\h\h but somehow loses the attached\h letter on his way to the post office,\h\h leaving him to send her only the package. He then\h stops at the New Town High School where strange\h\h chant-like noises have been heard. As he\h enters, however, he is attacked by a massive\h\h swarm of the yellow-eyed mindlessly aggressive\h Infected, who immediately kill the doctor. At the games, an event later\h referred to as D-Day occurs,\h\h when a horde of Infected enter the Games\h and attack the spectators and competitors.\h\h Two weeks later, Harran is placed under quarantine\h after the number of Infected grows beyond control.\h\h An eighteen year-old American athlete in the city\h for the Games named Mel Wyatt takes refuge in a\h\h hotel inside an area referred to as Nightmare\h Row. When the hotel is attacked, however, she\h\h is forced to escape on her own, getting bit by an\h Infected during her escape. Rumors of an incoming\h\h medicine airdrop from the recently formed Global\h Relief Effort, or GRE, give her hope to survive. Mel fights her way through Infected and\h uninfected alike to reach the City Hall,\h\h where she believes one of the airdrops will land.\h There, she also spots her lost brother, Paul,\h\h now Infected and completely turned. As she runs\h from the Infected outside City Hall, she enters\h\h the building and takes refuge in the office of the\h Harran Commission of Health. Inside, she finds\h\h Dr. Abbas items, including his letter to Dr.\h Christina Marlow, which he dropped on the floor.\h In it, Abbas describes the rabies-like\h virus taking control of the city,\h\h as well as the governments inaction to prevent it\h and attempts to instead cover the entire thing up.\h\h He also explains that the New Town High School\h has become a hot-bed for the newly infected. While in the office, the now Infected Dr.\h Abbas stumbles across her and attacks,\h\h and she kills the animal\h that used to be the doctor.\h The next morning, Mel finds a supply drop from\h the GRE, and inside she finds a single remaining\h\h syringe of medication labeled ANTIZIN. Not\h knowing if the medication helps the already\h\h Infected or not, she decides to try to use\h it to save her brother instead of herself.\h\h She heads to the New Town High School, referred\h to by other survivors as a Nest of the Infected,\h\h and there she is able to disguise her own smell\h with the blood of corpses to enter the building.\h\h Inside, she finds her Infected brother, and\h formulates a plan to give him the medicine. After heading back out into the city\h to gather supplies (helping a pair of\h\h uninfected girls escape from a biker\h gang from the Slums along the way),\h\h she returns to the school with freshly crafted\h Molotov cocktails. She quickly finds Paul,\h\h and using the cocktails, she is able to create\h a diversion and get Paul out of the school.\h Mel gives Paul the medicine, but begins to\h succumb to the effects of the virus herself.\h\h When the medicine doesnt cure her brother, she\h is forced to use her revolver to put him out\h\h of his misery, before turning it on herself,\h using her last bullet, but missing the shot.\h\h She is then forced to turn, and begins\h to hunt her new prey as an Infected. Two months after the initial outbreak in Harran,\h the GRE send an undercover agent named Kyle Crane\h\h into the quarantine zone to track down a political\h figure named Kadir Suleiman, who (blaming the GRE\h\h for his brothers death) stole a file from\h them containing highly sensitive information\h\h about the structure of the virus, which if\h released could pose a huge threat to mankind.\h After parachuting into the city, Crane is\h forced to make a rough landing, allowing\h\h him to be ambushed by a group of bandits, led by a\h man named Tahir. He uses his firearm to fight off\h\h the bandits, but the shot draws the attention of a\h nearby Infected, which bites Cranes arm. Luckily,\h\h he is rescued by a woman named Jade Aldemir, who\h is able to get him to safety before he passes out. Crane finally awakens three days later, and\h finds himself inside an apartment building\h\h in the Slums known among the survivors as The\h Tower. There, he meets Jades brother Rahim,\h\h who tells him about a lost survivor\h on one of the Towers other floors.\h\h Crane decides to look for the survivor\h to prove himself, and once hes alone,\h\h he calls his superiors and fills\h them in, admitting his infection,\h\h which they claim he can temporarily keep at bay\h if he can find some of the Antizin suppressant. Crane finds the lost survivor and helps administer\h some first aid until the Towers physician, Lena,\h\h can arrive to tend to him. Now seeing Cranes\h worth, Rahim asks the man to meet him again,\h\h and when he does so, Crane finds\h Rahim arguing with his sister about\h\h the formers plan to use explosives to destroy\h a nearby Infected nest before she storms off. Rahim takes Crane to the Towers rooftop\h and teaches him the basics of parkour,\h\h a skill he will soon find useful to escape\h the Infected in the city. After the training,\h\h however, Crane begins to have a seizure as a\h result of the virus taking hold inside of him.\h\h Rahim then sends Crane to find a Dr. Imran\h Zere nearby who can provide him with a shot\h\h of Antizin, and he then retrieves a weapon\h and heads out into the city of Harran alone. Crane finds the doctor in his mobile research\h lab where he is currently trying to develop a\h\h vaccine for the virus. In the meantime,\h he gives Crane a dose of the Antizin to\h\h temporarily keep him from turning. After a quick\h call with Rahim, Crane talks with Zeres guard,\h\h Spike, who tasks him with arming a set\h of traps to allow the Towers leader,\h\h Harris Brecken, to retrieve a\h GRE supply drop of Antizin.\h Crane arms the traps, contacting the GRE on\h\h the way, who inform him to steal all of\h Zeres research as part of his mission.\h\h Crane takes shelter for the night,\h and wakes up to bad news from Spike:\h\h despite their efforts, Breckens mission\h failed, and the man was left severely injured. Crane returns to the Tower, and Jade informs\h him that Brecken was ambushed by bandits,\h\h who attacked him and stole the airdrop.\h Crane finally meets Brecken face-to-face,\h\h and he volunteers to retrieve the next airdrop so\h Brecken can stay behind and heal from his wounds.\h\h Brecken reluctantly accepts Cranes help\h and he heads out, helping Lena retrieve\h\h some medication for Breckens head trauma,\h before finding the location of the airdrop. Unfortunately, the bandits beat Crane to the first\h drop, but he is able to get to the second one just\h\h before sunset. He calls the GRE, who believe that\h the bandits leader, known locally as Rais,\h\h is very likely the man theyre looking for,\h so they task him with destroying the Antizin\h\h to force a meeting between Rais and\h the Tower, which Crane can broker. After burning the Antizin, Crane calls\h Jade and lies, telling her the medicine\h\h is missing. Night then falls, and Crane is\h forced to run from the darkness-dwelling,\h\h powerful Infected variant known as Volatiles\h to return to the Tower. There, Crane interrupts\h\h a meeting between Brecken, Jade, and Rahim\h about buying Antizin from Rais. He offers\h\h to meet the man to set up the deal, and Brecken\h shows him where the bandit leaders location is. At Raiss Garrison, Crane is met by Tahir\h once again, who seems to recognize him but\h\h lets it pass. He then briefly meets with Rais, who\h claims he will take Cranes services and loyalty,\h\h and Tahir sends him to meet with\h Raiss quartermaster, Karim.\h\h Karim sends Crane to climb and repair\h some communication towers. On his way,\h\h Crane calls the GRE and positively\h I.D.s Rais as his target: Suleiman. After repairing the antennas, Crane\h returns to Rais to retrieve his payment,\h\h but the warlord refuses to hand over the Antizin,\h instead offering a double-or-nothing assignment to\h\h go collect payments from nearby settlements. Crane\h then travels around the city and strong arms these\h\h payments from a man named Jaffar, another\h named Gursel, and finally one named Morgan. On his way back to Rais, Crane receives a frantic\h call from Brecken informing him that someone has\h\h fully turned, creating an outbreak on one of the\h Towers floors. After rushing back towards the\h\h Garrison, Crane gets another call, this time\h from Karim, who instructs him to investigate\h\h a missing patrol that was transporting some\h documents. After finding the dead patrol,\h\h and the documents, Crane runs back to the\h Garrison to finally collect his payment. As expected, Rais again alters the deal, and\h instead of paying the promised two crates of\h\h Antizin, the warlord only parts with five\h vials. He then proposes his final condition\h\h

for the full payment:

bringing Jade back\h to his arena to fight for his amusement.\h\h Crane refuses, but Rais tells the man to\h leave and think about his offer. Outside,\h\h Crane calls the GRE, who urge him to fulfill\h Raiss request in order to complete his mission. Crane returns to the Tower with the five vials,\h handing them off to Jade before speaking with\h\h Brecken, who snaps over losing the entire floor to\h the virus and learning that the GRE have stopped\h\h the Antizin airdrops. Crane calms him down and\h promises to get the Antizin from Rais somehow\h\h before going to the roof, where he finds a drunk\h Rahim. The young man tells Crane about his plan\h\h to blow up a nearby Infected nest inside a\h skyscraper to make their nighttime running\h\h missions easier. The boy then stumbles off the\h edge of the roof, and Crane quickly grabs him,\h\h saving his life and earning his trust and\h starting a partnership between the two. Crane sneaks off and calls the GRE, asking them\h to restart the Antizin drops near the Tower,\h\h but they refuse, instead prodding him to get\h Jade to Raiss arena. Right after, Crane receives\h\h a call from Jade about a nearby school where\h Raiss men have been loading boxes. Believing\h\h this to be where Rais is storing his supply of\h Antizin, Jade asks Crane to meet her nearby. At the school, Jade and Crane watch Tahir\h kill a trio of survivors before driving off,\h\h and the pair sneak inside the school separately.\h Crane searches for the Antizin, but comes up\h\h short. The pair regroup in the basement, where\h they open a box to find what Rais was hiding:\h\h not Antizin, but instead a cache plastic\h explosive. Raiss men then attack, forcing\h\h Crane to fight them off as a diversion while\h Jade escapes the school with the explosives. After the battle, Crane returns to the Tower\h and warns Rahim not to use the explosives and\h\h instead allow him to execute the plan to destroy\h the nest. Crane then meets with Dr. Zere about a\h\h rare type of zombie he has seen at night, known\h as a Bolter, and the doctor asks for a sample\h\h of their tissue to study. During the night, Crane\h is able to sneak and kill one of the creatures,\h\h taking the sample back to Zere. Zere inspects\h the tissue and finds that it had been mutated\h\h by an altered strain of the virus he had injected\h into bait he left around the city. Believing this\h\h to mean they can use this knowledge to alter the\h strain further to eventually formulate a cure,\h\h Zere proposes that Crane delivers the research to\h a Dr. Camden in the Old Town section of Harran.\h\h Crane agrees, and the doctor asks him to come back\h later to give him time to assemble the package. As he leaves Zeres lab, Crane gets a call from\h Rahim. The panicked man tells him that he had\h\h gone to blow up the nest despite his promise,\h but the plan went awry. The call cuts off,\h\h and Crane rushes off to rescue him. Crane\h finds Rahim hiding in an abandoned train car,\h\h and kills the Infected surrounding it\h to find the injured young man inside.\h\h Rahim quickly hands Crane the explosives, which\h he had already armed to explode in mere minutes,\h\h and Crane rushes to the nest to plant them.\h Luckily, Crane is able to plant the explosives in\h\h time, and he escapes just before they detonate,\h destroying the Infected nest in the process. Crane returns to the train car to find\h a terrible surprise, an infected Rahim,\h\h now turned after being bitten during his attempted\h mission. Crane is regretfully forced to kill Rahim\h\h before returning to the Tower to break the\h news to Brecken. During their conversation,\h\h they turn to see Jade, who overheard the\h entire thing, and she promptly runs off. To\h\h make matters even worse, the pair then hear an\h explosion outside, coming from Zeres trailer.\h Crane goes to investigate and finds\h the doctor missing with his lab aflame.\h\h Knowing that Zeres capture was Raiss\h payback for stealing the explosives,\h\h Brecken sends Crane to the Garrison to rescue\h him. Crane gets to the Garrison and breaks inside,\h\h calling the GRE for backup. Hes surprised\h to find that the GRE doesnt answer his call,\h\h but instead finds the Ministry of\h Defense on the other end of the line,\h\h who tell him that the GREs mission has been\h abandoned, and they instead plan to bomb the\h\h city to eliminate any trace of the virus. Crane\h explains that Zere has almost found a cure,\h\h and the man on the other end gives Crane a 48 hour\h deadline to prove it before they drop the bombs. Crane fights through Raiss men in their compound,\h finding Dr. Zere, who explains that he gave his\h\h research to Jade before his capture. Suddenly\h the lights cut, and when they turn back on,\h\h the pair find Rais with his men holding them at\h gunpoint. Tahir grabs the doctor, and Rais reveals\h\h that he allowed Crane to reach him to give up the\h location of his research. Rais then tells his men\h\h to search for Jade before stabbing Zere in the leg\h and having Crane taken to his arena, aptly named:\h\h the Pit. One of Raiss men then bludgeons Crane\h with the butt of his rifle, knocking him out. When Crane comes to, he finds himself in the Pit,\h\h while Dr. Zere is being held hostage above. Rais\h hints that he knows about Cranes lies before\h\h leaving him weaponless to fight a horde\h of Infected. Crane survives the arena,\h\h and Rais simply states that the GRE\h selects its operatives well, revealing\h\h that the warlord had known the undercover\h operatives true nature all along. He then\h\h gives the order to his men to release the file\h he had been holding as leverage to the public.\h Crane chastises Rais for releasing information\h that could end up harming masses of people,\h\h but Rais shrugs this off, telling him that the\h GRE never intended to use the data to make a cure,\h\h but they instead planned to weaponize\h the virus to sell for profit.\h\h Rais then orders his men to kill Crane, but he is\h able to very quickly outmaneuver them, grabbing\h\h a nearby machete and using it to kill Raiss\h guards before slicing off the warlords hand,\h\h retrieving his gun from the ground and\h shooting the guard holding Zere hostage. Crane rushes to the moving platform lifting\h Zere from the pit, and finds the doctor with\h\h a knife in his chest. Zere leaves the man with\h one final plea to save the people of Harran\h\h before dying from his wound. Just then,\h Rais cauterizes his wound with a torch,\h\h and orders his remaining men to shoot Crane.\h Crane runs to escape, but as he clears the\h\h compound he again begins to feel the effects\h of the virus taking hold, and he passes out. Crane awakens later to find that Brecken had\h rescued him and hid him from Raiss men. The pair\h\h discuss Jade, who tried to take Zeres research to\h Dr. Camden in Old Town, but when Rais attacked the\h\h doctors lab, he allowed a flood of Infected\h inside and barricaded himself in the middle.\h\h Crane then enlists the help of a group called\h the Saviors, who help him get into Old Town. After fighting through another ambush from Raiss\h men, Crane emerges in the quarantined Old Town,\h\h where he meets with a woman named Troy\h who puts him in contact with Jade.\h\h Crane finally reveals to Jade that he had\h been hired by the GRE, but stresses the\h\h importance of getting the information to the\h Ministry of Defense before they bomb the city.\h\h Angered at the betrayal, Jade\h cuts the communication line,\h\h but Troy reveals that the last time Jade\h was seen, she was at the nearby university.\h Crane goes to the university and asks the\h survivors settled there about her whereabouts,\h\h but learns nothing. Crane then calls Troy and\h she tells him to come back to her location to\h\h see something theyve discovered. Troys group,\h the Embers, had broken through the signal blocking\h\h in the area, and they watch a news broadcast\h about the GREs implication in the virus outbreak,\h\h as well as news of an announcement of Harrans\h president claiming that the city was now\h\h only inhabited by infected, giving an\h excuse to destroy the city with no backlash. Crane helps the Embers detonate a\h series of explosives in a pattern to\h\h send a message to anybody observing the city\h that conscious humans are still in the area.\h\h After detonating the explosives, the\h Ministry flies a plane through the building,\h\h destroying the message and\h making the plan for naught.\h Cranes actions end up serving a\h purpose after all, as they prove\h\h to Jade that he does intend to\h help the survivors in Harran.\h\h The pair agree to meet in person, but\h when Crane arrives at the meetup spot,\h\h he only finds a message left by Rais, written\h in blood, beckoning him to come to the museum. Crane learns that Rais has been using the museum\h as his stronghold, and he finds the museums\h\h custodian, who tells him about a secret entrance\h to the building through a series of underwater\h\h tunnels. Crane swims through and enters\h the museum, where he is confronted by Rais,\h\h who shows Crane images of the captive Jade. Rais\h then sicks his men on Crane, who fights them\h\h off while traversing the museum, eventually\h finding the room where Jade is being held. Inside, Rais once again speaks with Crane, this\h time revealing that when Crane fixed his antennas,\h\h it allowed him to listen in\h to all of their communication.\h\h Knowing that with Zeres research he now holds the\h true bargaining chip with the GRE, he releases a\h\h wave of Infected into the room to kill the\h pair. They are able to fight them off, but\h\h as they go to escape, Jade collapses. Rais then\h reveals that Jade had been bitten hours prior.\h Rais throws Crane a vial of Antizin, instructing\h him to choose between giving it to the woman\h\h to prevent her imminent turning, or take it\h himself to prevent his own. Jade takes the vial,\h\h and asks Crane to promise that he will be one to\h kill her when the time comes. He then begins to\h\h have another seizure, and hallucinates following\h Jade through a dreamscape where he eventually\h\h finds her as an Infected, attempting to kill him.\h He is soon snapped out of the dream to find Jade\h\h injecting the Antizin into him while he holds her\h neck, and he lets her go. Rais sends his men in,\h\h and Jade swiftly takes them down before biting\h into the last ones flesh, fully turning. After Rais walks away, Jade lunges at\h Crane, and he is forced to snap her neck,\h\h fulfilling his promise. Tahir then attacks\h Crane himself, but Crane is able to defeat\h\h the man in battle, recovering Jades bag, finding\h tissue samples inside but not the other research.\h\h He then executes Tahir before exiting the museum. Before taking the samples to Camden, Crane and\h the Embers decide to broadcast a message to the\h\h world using a signal booster atop a giant antenna\h to try to stop the bombing, which is due to happen\h\h within hours. After fighting through an army of\h Infected, Crane is able to climb the tower and\h\h transmit the message, broadcasting to the entire\h world that there are still survivors in the area,\h\h forcing the bomber planes to abort their mission\h and fly away. Crane then receives a call from the\h\h GRE offering him a safe escape from the city in\h a helicopter in exchange for Zeres research,\h\h but he refuses, knowing theyll only use the\h cure to further cover up their corruption. Crane returns to Old Town and makes his way\h to Camdens lab. There, he travels through\h\h the facility while Camden reminisces about the\h events that led to him winding up there in the\h\h first place, and Crane pieces together that\h he wasnt the only GRE operative sent into\h\h the quarantine zone. When Crane finally reaches\h Camden, he gives the doctor the tissue samples\h\h before leaving to find Zeres missing research.\h Beforehand, however, he decides to call the GRE.\h When he calls them, however, he is shocked\h to hear an unexpected voice on the other end:\h\h none other than Rais, who reveals that he took\h the deal to hand over Zeres research to the GRE\h\h in order to secure his own exit from the\h city so he can continue to wreak havoc\h\h outside its walls. He then prompts Crane\h to come find him in order to stop him. Crane then fights through the Infected (as well\h as the effects from his own infection) on his\h\h way back to Raiss headquarters in the slums,\h eventually climbing the tower there to find the\h\h warlord waiting for him at the top. Rais throws\h the package of research to Crane, who catches it,\h\h

but is soon met by the next thing Rais throws:

\h a knife, which lands in his chest. Crane drops\h\h the research, and Rais begins to swing a blade\h wildly. Crane is able to outmaneuver the man\h\h and stab him with his own blade, leaving\h him incapacitated to die from his wounds. As he goes to grab the research, the GRE\h helicopter arrives, and the distraction allows\h\h Rais to get up and push Crane over the edge of the\h tower. While hanging on by one hand, Crane is able\h\h to throw the research back on the roof before\h pulling the knife from his chest and plunging\h\h it into Raiss neck, finally killing the man as he\h falls off the tower. Crane then climbs back up to\h\h the top of the roof and secures the research.\h The GRE then call him and ask him to hand\h\h over the research, but he refuses, stating that as\h long as the cure exists inside the citys walls,\h\h they cant bomb it. The helicopter flies off,\h and Crane gets a call from Camden, who states\h\h that between the tissue samples and the research,\h a cure will definitely be possible. Crane then\h\h heads off to deliver the package to him, now\h with a new sense of optimism and determination.\h While Camden works on the cure, Crane is\h contacted by Lena about a man who spoke to\h\h her about people immune to the virus, as well as\h domesticated Infected and some kind of magic.\h\h Lena gives Crane a map the man was\h holding, which shows a way out of Harran.\h\h The man suddenly awakens and grabs Crane, telling\h him to stay away and warning of the Mother. Crane follows the map and finds himself outside\h the city walls, emerging into the Countryside\h\h surrounding Harran. Crane finds a settlement,\h and there he meets one of their elders, Jasir,\h\h as well as his daughter, Ezgi. Jasir refuses to\h answer any of Cranes questions, but another man,\h\h named Kaan (an outsider to the group) explains\h that the locals are part of some kind of cult,\h\h called the Children of the Sun, that\h follows a woman called the Mother.\h\h Before answering more of Cranes questions,\h Kaan proposes a partnership between the two,\h\h sending him off to retrieve a buggy\h from a neary group of bandits. When Crane returns to the settlement, however,\h he finds Kaan gone, with Ezgi in his stead,\h\h stating that the group finally asked him to leave.\h Ezgi surmises that in order for her group to\h\h cooperate with him, hell have to prove himself by\h helping them out with various tasks and errands.\h\h Crane then drives around the\h countryside in his newly acquired buggy,\h\h meeting and helping the\h various survivors of the land. Through his travels, Crane learns\h more about the Children of the Sun,\h\h the Mother, and her priests (known as the\h Faceless). After proving his intentions are pure,\h\h Crane is invited to a lake called the Eye of\h the Sun to be blessed by the mother. There,\h\h Crane finds a ritual in progress being led by\h the Mother, where he is surprised to see Kaan,\h\h seemingly completely indoctrinated by the group.\h The Faceless then walk through the crowd holding\h\h censers emitting a blue gas. When Crane inhales\h the gas, he begins to hear the mother speaking\h\h with him telepathically, and he soon finds that\h nearby infected are no longer hostile to him.\h\h He soon collapses, and when he awakens, he finds\h the crowd dispelled, and the Mother now gone. At this point, Jasir gives Crane a keycard\h left behind by a former military officer. Using\h\h this key, Crane can stumble upon nuclear launch\h codes, as well as the key to a military transport\h\h vehicle. Inside the vehicle, Crane finds a nuclear\h warhead, and if he decides to, he can use the\h\h launch codes to detonate the bomb and bring the\h virus, as well as all of Harran, to a fiery end.\h Otherwise, Crane continues to help the Children\h of the Sun, also referred to as the Following,\h\h eventually finding a field covered in the\h blue gas. Crane inspects the field and finds\h\h the remnants of a military transport vehicle,\h including empty crates. The Faceless reveal that\h\h the Mother found this elixir that works as a\h temporary solution to the virus. They are working\h\h on a project with more permanence, and ask\h Crane to find more of the elixir to buy them time. Crane investigates the cave where the\h Following originally found the elixir,\h\h finding another destroyed military vehicle,\h as well as dead members of both the Following,\h\h as well as the remnants of Raiss gang, much\h to Cranes surprise. In order to find the\h\h stolen elixir, Crane tracks down the bandits to a\h granary which they are using as a makeshift base.\h\h There, Crane finds a kidnapped Faceless named\h Brother Orcan, tortured to near death. Orcan\h\h reveals that the bandits followed them to steal\h the cure, but they didnt know how to open it,\h\h so they went after the Mother. In his dying\h breath, he tells Crane to go to the Lighthouse. At the lighthouse, Crane is attacked by the\h bandits leader, who he is surprised to find is\h\h none other than Kaan. Crane forces Kaan to reveal\h his mens next move, and he points to the dam,\h\h where they intend to enter the Mothers den and\h kill her. In an attempt to kill Crane, the bandits\h\h shoot missiles at the lighthouse, bringing it\h down. While Kaan dies in the fall, Crane survives\h\h without a scratch, and grabs what remains of\h the stolen vials before racing to the dam.\hWhen Crane enters, however, he finds a slew\h of Faceless murdered, as well as a trail of\h\h slaughtered bandits. As Crane looks for the\h Mother, she telepathically tells him her story: When the outbreak occurred, the Mother and her\h husband were bitten, and before the man died in\h\h her arms, he gave her a cigarette case containing\h a map, a key, and a list of numbers. This led the\h\h Mother and her group to the dam, where she found\h a locked container which the numbers opened\h\h to reveal the vials. With no other choice, the\h Mother ingested the serum inside. She then passed\h\h out, and when she awoke, she found that she had\h turned into Sentient Volatile. In the light,\h\h she maintains control over her own mind, but in\h the dark, the virus takes hold and she becomes\h\h one of the feral creatures. She then learned\h that when the gas is vaporized, its effects are\h\h weakened, and she was able to use that knowledge\h to gain her following and take care of her people. Crane tries to ask her for the vials\h to save his friends at the Tower,\h\h but she refuses to give it to him, knowing\h that whatever serum is inside is no cure,\h\h but instead a different curse. She then\h gives him a final choice: to activate\h\h a nuclear warhead the military hid inside the dam\h as a failsafe to completely eradicate the virus. If Crane chooses to help the Mother,\h she leads him to the warhead,\h\h and he realizes that her husband had left\h the launch codes with a man named Atilla,\h\h who Crane had previously helped before the man\h left him the codes in his death. Crane then\h\h inputs the launch codes, and the Mother thanks him\h just before it detonates, fulfilling her perceived\h\h purpose and destroying the virus, sacrificing\h the thousands of nearby lives along with them. In the most likely ending, Crane\h refuses to activate the nuke,\h\h instead trying to force the Mother to hand over\h the vials. Knowing he wants the serum so badly,\h\h she then opens one of the containers and pours\h it into his mouth, forcing him to drink it.\h\h Feeling anger over his refusal to help her\h save humanity, the Mother then attacks the man,\h\h and a battle ensues. While her abilities as a\h Sentient Volatile prove to be a challenge, Cranes\h\h own transformation due to his ingesting the\h serum begin to close the gap in their abilities. Crane is able to defeat the Mother in combat,\h and she pleads with him one final time not to\h\h take the serum, as it will poison all of mankind\h and doom it to their same fate. Crane instead\h\h crushes her skull, killing her before grabbing\h the remaining viles. Crane tries to call Lena to\h\h tell her about his new better lead, but as he\h emerges from the dam, he finds himself outside\h\h of the quarantine zone. There, a family spots\h him, and they are immediately struck with terror.\h\h He then looks down at his own arms, seeing his new\h form as a Sentient Volatile. The sun then sets,\h\h and as night falls, only the sound of a\h Volatiles scream is heard in the darkness. Ten years later, in the European city of Villedor,\h\h we find a Doctor attempting to create a\h vaccine for the now-named Harran-19 virus.\h\h While the vaccine is estimated to be about 83%\h effective, it does carry some side effects.\h\h Despite this, army General Buran shuts down\h all vaccine development, stating that they plan\h\h on taking things in another direction, while\h embracing any side effects. He then orders his\h\h men to kill all of the remaining primate\h test subjects, while firing the doctor,\h\h who is only allowed to take personal items with\h her, and she grabs a necklace with a black locket. As she leaves, an announcement\h is broadcast throughout the city,\h\h and the military begins to deploy the\h unfinished vaccine gas into the air.\h\h While the doctor tries to warn her fellow\h citizens, she is forced to run to her car,\h\h where she uses her dress to cover the\h vents as she drives out of the city.\h\h Once outside the poisoned air, she calls an\h ex-girlfriend, asking for a place to stay. Meanwhile, General Buran reveals his\h plan in his office to Professor Collins,\h\h the doctor originally leading the development.\h\h Believing that the virus would eventually\h destroy the city, Burans\h intention is to\h\h use the incomplete vaccine to cull the herd and\h allow the fittest to survive, essentially speeding\h\h up the inevitable. While he asks for Collins\h help with the public relations of his plan,\h\h the professor declines, and he suddenly dies\h on his way out as he breathes in the gas. Later, the Doctor and her Ex discuss the\h days events, and the Doctor reveals the\h\h locket contained a hidden memory card of\h her research. She then sees a text message\h\h from Professor Collins, who attached his own\h report from a test of the unfinished vaccine,\h\h showing the progression of the Harran virus from\h initial infection to final turning point. The\h\h Doctor then decides to find a way to save the city\h before more of the gas is released into the air. Inside a military base, Buran looks\h at the results of the deployment,\h\h and finds the side effects to be\h far worse than even he imagined.\h\h With Collins now dead, he sends his men to find\h the Doctor before they spray the second dose.\h\h Unfortunately, during transport,\h one of the canisters springs a leak. Back in the Exs apartment, the Doctor informs\h her that she was able to use the research from\h\h the Professor to create an antidote for\h the gas. The two then hear an announcement\h\h about a party at City Hall to commemorate\h General Buran, and they decide to crash it. As they arrive at City Hall,\h\h the side effects of the gas continue\h to grow and grow, with the military now\h\h visibly taking action to stop the Infected.\h Inside the party, the Doctor finds Buran,\h\h telling her Ex to remember that the formula for\h the antidote currently resides inside her locket. The Doctor confronts Buran, and she chastises\h him for Infecting half of the city. He is quick\h\h to correct her, however, stating that it is no\h longer half the city, as the second dose is\h\h currently being deployed. He offers her a deal to\h give him the antidote for 4% of the earnings hell\h\h make from it, but she refuses, causing him\h to don a mask and open a canister of the gas,\h\h instantly infecting the Doctor. The Ex\h then shoots the General with a gun she\h\h wrestled away from his guard, and he runs\h off, leaving the two women on the balcony. Not wanting to turn, the Doctor\h simply hands her locket to her Ex,\h\h then jumps from the building, falling tens\h of stories to the gas-filled streets below.\h\h The General escapes in a helicopter, taking some\h of his wealthy benefactors with him, but leaving\h\h most behind. The Ex then stands with the cure\h around her neck, knowing that she is now the only\h\h hope for the city to fight its real disease as\h the gas begins to rise and envelop her as well. Outside in the city, an extremely agile\h Infected leaps across several buildings,\h\h before scaling the side of one and emerging at the\h top. We then see what remains of the Doctors Ex,\h\h standing before the city of Villedor as\h the Banshee, a powerful monster with\h\h the cure to her own disease, as well\h as the entire citys, around her neck. And with that, we reach the end of the story\h thus far, where well pick back up ten years\h\h later when a man named Aiden Caldwell arrives\h in the city looking for his missing sister.\h\h As we all know, however, the city holds\h more secrets than he could even imagine.
