Did Abby get bit? Is she immune? —The Last of Us Part 2

Abby is perhaps one of the most divisive characters in gaming history, mainly because of what she did to Joel. But she herself is a product of the cycle of revenge and the cycle of hatred.  

That takes her on a journey, and her journey comes to a stop when she and Lev are captured by Rattlers in Santa Barbara. Ellie goes to Santa Barbara to kill Abby but finds her tied to a pillar with Lev.  

There is no solid evidence to conclude that Abby was infected because if she was, then she would have been dead by the time Ellie found her which also proves that she’s not immune to the virus, like Ellie.  

What happened to Abby at the end?

After freeing Abby and Lev from the pillars, they both go to nearby boats to leave but Ellie demands Abby to fight. Abby being weak didn’t want to at first, but after Ellie had Lev at knifepoint, she was forced to.  

They both have a very gruesome and brutal fight to the death in which Abby manages to bite off two of Ellie’s fingers, but gets overpowered by Ellie and gets choked by her. Abby was almost dead until Ellie had a flashback of Joel smiling at her, then Ellie spares Abby and tells her to just leave.  

Where did Abby go at the end?

Abby and Lev Both Leave in a Boat

After her fight with Ellie at the end, Abby and Lev both leave in a boat and we don’t see them after. But in a previous cutscene, they found a Firefly frequency which told them that the Fireflies were regrouping on Catalina Island. So, it’s safe to assume they were headed there.  

After finding the frequency, both Abby and Lev were captured by Rattlers. Ellie found them shortly after, tied to a pillar. She untied them and found boats to leave Santa Barbara but forced Abby to fight her. After a gruesome fight between them, Ellie did spare her and told her to leave.  

The two of them left on a boat, while Ellie just sat there and watched them leave.  

So, even though we don’t see where they’re going, it’s speculated that they were going to regroup with the Fireflies on Catalina Island.  

Will Abby return in The Last of Us Part 3?

While not much is known about The Last of Us Part 3 at this moment, we can assume that Abby will return since she played such a huge role in this game and both her and Lev’s story can be picked up from where it left off.  

Director Neil Druckmann has already said that there is an outline for the story for the third game and Naughty Dog likes to take risks. While the risks aren’t appreciated by all fans, they do make sense considering how unforgiving the Last of Us world is.
