Great Harvester

This article details information regarding the Great Harvester. Not to be confused with regular Harvesters.

 Faction: Antagonist

## Overview

The Great Harvester, also known as the Great Pyramid resembles an inverted triangular pyramid shape and contains the Central Core. The Great Harvester plays a large role in the lore of the game, it is a large part of the antagonist faction and can be found near the mid-end of the game. The Great Harvester houses different modules which can be classified by their function:

## Lore

The great harvester has been theorised to have been built by the ancient fallen civilization that left behind the temples that are explored in-game.

It is said that the ancient civilization used containment jars to harvest the *blue energy* that is very common within the game. This *blue energy* has also been called "the power of the ocean." The Great Harvester was likely created to automate the collecting process of *blue energy*, due to the fact that it was designed to absorb the entirety of the energy in the ocean. According to a popular theory, the Great Harvester absorbed excessive amounts of the ocean's energy and surpassed its creators. It then developed it's own intelligence and turned against its masters.

## Origin

Many theories state that the Harvesters were created by the game's ancient civilisation and overtook them, leading to civilisation's demise. However, the Harvesters were not created on the planet ABZU takes place in; they are aliens that originate from space. This can be proven by looking at both the game's skybox and the presence of the badge ("()") obtainable by viewing the Harvesters in the atmosphere.

## Structure

The Great Harvester's only function is not just to harvest energy, it also produces Mines and the small Drones that aid the diver at the beginning and middle of the game. Within the production lines it creates the bodies of the machines and then fits them with a power core conceived of *blue energy*. The second module encountered within the game is the security blockade. The security blockade is a large blockade of Mines that guard the Central Core. The third and final module encountered is the Central Core. The Central Core is the main hivemind of the antagonist faction and controls the great harvester. In the mid-end of the game the central core is encountered and proceeds to deliver a large stun blast that disables the player and kills the player's shark ally. At the end of the game the central core is destroyed, releasing the ocean's energy and allowing life to begin to return to the once desolate area surrounding the Great Harvester.

## Trivia

* The "civilisation created Harvesters theory" is inaccurate for a number of reasons. These include: The civilisation was too technologically primitive to create such highly advanced robots, no glyphs display ancient civilians creating said robots (only glyphs of them bowing down to the Harvesters), and the presence of the "()" badge.
	+ Because of this, it can be hypothesised that the Diver was designed by the robots to harvest ocean energy just as effectively as the ancient civilians did.
