Descent and Desolation [0:04]
After a silent descent from the mountain, the group journeys for hours, eventually reaching a desolate area marked by dead trees, gray soil, and a perpetually dirty sky under the gaze of a red planet. They aim to pass near a coastal city to reach the dead forest leading to the northern walls, navigating through dangerous ruins where fallen creatures and hostile groups may be hidden. Sarah emphasizes the need for silence and vigilance, guiding them along an open route to spot approaching threats.
Giant Wave [1:56]
The group is forced to stop due to a strange feeling, followed by the distant sound of thunder, which grows louder, revealing a rapidly approaching giant wave. Sarah urges everyone to run, and they seek refuge in a building, climbing the stairs to escape the rising water. The wave is a result of the planet's gravitational influence, a phenomenon they should have anticipated. They barely manage to reach the rooftop, witnessing the devastation caused by the wave, with Sarah expressing frustration over relying on Kale's plan.
Colossal Fallen [4:30]
A colossal fallen, 80 meters tall, appears in front of the group, prompting them to seek cover inside the building. They move cautiously, aware that the fallen might return or another could appear. They decide to remain silent and stay on the rooftop until the water recedes. Night falls, and they manage to find wood to make a fire, drying off and warming up. Marcus reflects on their survival and the hope for the future, looking at his companions.
Aftermath and Scavenging [6:58]
Marcus is awakened in the morning, finding that the water has receded. The group returns to the rooftop to assess the damage, noting the absence of giants nearby. They decide to search for food, hoping the tsunami might have brought some advantages. They find a large sea fish trapped in a hole in the street, providing them with a meal.
Finding Water and a New Threat [9:20]
After eating, the group quickly leaves to find water in an area untouched by the tsunami. They reach elevated ground and discover the remains of an old camp, finding useful items like cantens. They hope to find a creek and eventually locate a stream with good drinking water, filling their cantens. A terrifying roar shatters the silence, signaling the presence of a smaller but lethal type of fallen, forcing them to seek a safe place for the night.
Railway Tunnel Shelter [11:32]
Using his experience, Marcus leads the group to an old railway tunnel for shelter. They carefully analyze the tunnel to ensure it is free of fallen creatures, finding it safe. However, Ash and Finn notice signs that something large had passed through the tunnel recently. They eat the rest of the fish and Finn wonders if the monsters have any weak points.
Giants and Nuclear Bombs [13:03]
The group sets off early in the morning, but danger remains ever-present. They hear booming sounds and the ground trembles, indicating the approach of giants. They hide beneath old rail cars as a herd of giants passes by without noticing them. Marcus discusses Finn's question about the giants' weak points, explaining that while they can be destroyed, they keep falling, and even nuclear bombs couldn't stop them, ultimately leading to humanity's near destruction.
Petrified Fallen [15:21]
The group arrives at a ruined town and discovers a large fallen sitting motionless in the middle of the street. Sarah notices something strange about it, suggesting they hide in a nearby house. They observe the fallen, realizing it remains in the same position. Sarah investigates and discovers that the fallen is petrified, leading them to a significant discovery about the monsters.
Mirror Discovery [17:16]
The group wonders if mirrors could be the cause of the petrification. Heavy footsteps approach, and they hide, observing a fallen reacting to its reflection in a mirror. The giant begins to writhe and shortly turns to stone, confirming their theory. This discovery offers a thread of hope, as they now have a potential method to defeat the monsters. Sarah retrieves a mirror to carry with her.
Bridge and Courage [19:51]
The group crosses an overgrown but stable bridge, needing to find water before dark. Another fallen appears, furious and ready to attack. Sarah, showing exceptional courage, decides to risk using the mirror, facing the monster and successfully petrifying it, leveling the playing field in their fight for survival.
