This theory is based around the Surgeon's Recorder audio log, which can be found within the hospital. Welcome to LAST OF US WEEK! Ahead of TLOU2's release, Inverse is reflecting on one of our favorite games of all time and the studio that made it, Naughty Dog.Įllie is still technically infected with the Cordyceps virus. One audio log from the hospital chapter of The Last of Us sheds light on one way Ellie might still be impacted by the virus. Nothing of the sort happens to Ellie over the course of the first game, and she was bitten weeks before the main narrative starts. If they live long enough, the infected mutate into increasingly more grotesque monsters as the fungus takes over their body and grows armored plates, beginning with the head.
The Cordyceps Brain Infection is a parasitic fungal infection that, once a host is infected (typically through a bite or airborne spores), quickly spreads to the brain and erodes higher brain function, rendering them hyper-aggressive within a matter of days. By all accounts, Ellie sets of on a quest for revenge in the sequel after her community suffers a great loss, but what if all her rage is impacted by the growing influence of the Cordyceps infection? An oft-forgotten Easter egg from the first game's final chapter, however, hints that her immunity isn't so clear-cut. In The Last of Us,Ellie's immunity to the Cordyceps virus that destroyed most of human civilization is the entire reason Joel is tasked with escorting her across the country: so the Fireflies militia can use her biology to develop a cure.
