The Last of Us 2: Shimmer’s Heartbreaking Fate Revealed – Spoilers Inside!

In Episode 3 of “The Last of Us” Season 2, titled “The Path,” is now streaming on HBO. Fans are intrigued about the character Shimmer, speculating if she meets her end in the “The Last of Us” video game franchise and the TV show adaptation. Shimmer made her debut in Season 1 and is increasingly playing a significant role in the narrative unfolding.

Here is what happens to Shimmer in the games and the show.

Who is Shimmer and does it die in The Last of Us game and Season 2?

Shimmer is a horse in The Last of Us games and the HBO series.

In the 2020 video game sequel, The Last of Us Part II, developed by Naughty Dog, a horse named Shimmer was introduced. Originally part of the Jackson community’s horses, Shimmer eventually became Ellie’s loyal steed throughout the game. Similarly, in the TV show, Shimmer is initially presented in its first season and later becomes significant to the plot as Ellie’s trusted equine companion.

In the video game “The Last of Us Part II”, Shimmer meets her end. On the other hand, in the TV show as of Season 2 Episode 3, Shimmer continues to live. Since the TV series closely follows the game’s storyline, there’s a strong possibility that Shimmer might perish in one of the future episodes.

How does Shimmer die in The Last of Us 2 game?

In contrast to the series, the game doesn’t specifically detail how or when Shimmer was assigned to Ellie, but it’s hinted that members of the Jackson community kept Shimmer in the stables and Ellie frequently used her. For instance, we see them riding together on a scouting trip with Dina, who rode Japan, during the winter of 2038.

Following Joel’s demise, Ellie and Dina travel on Shimmer while carrying out their task in Seattle. Unfortunately, Shimmer is severely wounded by a hidden explosive device that snaps both her legs. As Ellie looks on in distress, a soldier from the Washington Liberation Front named Mike ends Shimmer’s life by shooting her in the head.
