El Dorado (Uncharted)

El Dorado is a city that features in Uncharted.

History

El Dorado was originally kept within an ancient temple in the Amazon rainforest, where the indigenous people worshiped it. At some point in the sixteenth century, a group of Spanish conquistadors raided the temple, slaughtered the local population, and took the sarcophagus with them. A ship named the Esperanza shipped it to a remote island in the Pacific Ocean, where they stored it inside the treasure vault. At some point they also opened it, and the colony was subsequently overwhelmed and lost due to the contents. Francis Drake later found the treasured item as well, but died there after preventing the descendants from leaving the island. At some point prior or during World War II, the Nazis re-discovered the island, establishing a submarine bunker. They also found El Dorado, moving it to a different cavern, underneath the graveyard and the church in the monastery. A Nazi soldier was also affected by El Dorado's contents, as shown in a recording where he was tied to a pillar. They were eventually all wiped out by the descendants, who took to worshiping the statue again in its new location.

Nathan Drake and Victor Sullivan learned of the treasure's existence upon discovery of its original place of worship in a temple in the Amazon rainforest. Originally believing it to be a giant golden statue, they only learned that the Spaniards took it. Shortly after, Nate found a map belonging to Francis Drake, thanks to whom he originally found the temple, and which he believed would lead him to the statue again. Despite interference from Gabriel Roman and his lieutenant Atoq Navarro, and Sully's apparent death, Nate managed to find the hidden island's actual location. He came to findd proof of the treasure's arrival in the colony. Much later on, Nate found Francis Drake's corpse, believing he never found El Dorado. Afterwards, found his testament and a photograph, showing he actually did find it, but that he also learned of the statue's contents, calling it 'a curse'. Knowing the item's threat, Nate rushed to try and stop Roman and Navarro, but failed. In "Gold and Bones", while they were held at gunpoint, Navarro urged Roman to open the statue, revealing it to be a sarcophagus containing a dessicated corpse. Navarro then shot and killed Roman after he was affected by the statue's contents, then revealed his plan to sell it as a bio-weapon on the black market. He then had his mercenaries use a net and helicopter to airlift El Dorado out of the cave.

Nate managed to jump onto the net, avoiding the attacking descendants while doing so, and hitched a ride to Navarro's freighter, where the helicopter crashed. Nate managed to fight and push Navarro all the way to the helicopter wreck, where he eventually managed to kill him by pushing the wreck off of the boat. The rope tied between the wreck and El Dorado then snagged onto Navarro's leg, causing him and the treasure both to sink to the bottom of the bay.
