The Last Of Us Part 2: 10 Biggest WTF Moments
7. Ellie Tortures Nora
While Ellie has always been a character who won't hesitate to do bad things when in need (like when she shoots a guy in the head in the first game), she becomes something else entirely when she encounters Nora in The Last of Us 2.
This is one of Ellie's truly darkest moments in the entire game. After cornering Nora in the basement of the WLF outpost, and chasing her through rooms riddled with spores (already a death sentence for Nora), Ellie is forced to start torturing Nora for information on Abby's whereabouts.
The scene cuts away before we see the extent that Ellie went to, but we are still in control as Ellie starts beating the hell out of Nora with a pipe. Afterwards, Ellie is deeply traumatised by what she's done; apparently her need for revenge is so strong, she's willing to do absolutely anything to achieve her goal.
It's a deeply shocking moment for Ellie as a character; it turns her from the hero of our story into a more morally ambiguous character, and you'll more than likely feel a bit dirty yourself afterwards for what you've just done.
