Inspired by @rwhite18's list. The saga begins with Nathan Drake and his mentor Victor "Sully" Sullivan navigating the jungles of Central America, where Nate proves his worth before a betrayal in Indonesia by Atoq Navarro leaves him hunting for the Eye of Indra. Years later, Nate follows clues from his ancestor’s coffin into the Amazon, discovering the cursed statue of El Dorado while romancing journalist Elena Fisher. The stakes rise as Nate, Sully, and Elena race against war criminal Zoran Lazarević to stop him from seizing the Cintamani Stone in the Himalayas, a journey that nearly costs Nate his life. Seeking answers about his past, Nate and Sully trek into the Arabian Desert to find the lost city of Ubar, confronting the secret society led by Katherine Marlowe and enduring hallucinogenic trials that test their loyalty. After retiring to a peaceful life with Elena, Nate is dragged back into the underworld by his brother Sam Drake, forcing him to confront his obsession while evading ruthless mercenary Nadine Ross and crime lord Rafe Adler during a final hunt for Henry Avery’s treasure. Even after Nate’s story concludes, the thrill of the chase lives on as Chloe Frazer teams up with Nadine in India to secure the Tusk of Ganesh, proving that the spirit of discovery never truly fades.
