Who is Tanta Cinta in Forspoken? answered

The story of Forspoken takes Frey Holland out of the normal world she is used to and throws her into the land of Athia. This world was once guarded by four women known as Tantas. For this reason, you will hear a lot about the four tantas as you progress through the campaign. As you battle Tantas Sila, Olas, and Prav, Cinta is noticeably absent from the world. Who is Tanta Cinta in Forspoken? To answer that question, we need to enter major spoiler territory.

Where is Tanta Cinta in Forspoken?

Shortly after arriving in the world of Athia, you are told of the four tantas – the powerful women who once ruled the land. A little later in the story, you are told that Tanta Cinta disappeared one day and has not been seen since. From this information it appears that she is hidden somewhere in the world of Athia. As you approach the first boss fight against Tanta Sila, you’ll get some brief information about Cuff’s tantas, letting you know that Cinta is the aunt of love.

After fighting Tanta Prav, you will get more information about Tanta Cinta. She turns out to be Frey’s mother, making Frey an aunt as well. So Frey can also use the magic of the tantas. Towards the end of the game you will learn more about Tanta Cinta and who she was before The Break happened. It turns out that she gave birth to Frey and sent her away when The Break took over the world.

It is revealed very late in the game that Tanta Cinta is also the fire-breathing dragon you first encounter in the world, meaning she is still alive and well before the end of the campaign. More information will be given once Frey finds out who Tanta Cinta really is. You can also gather more information about how Cinta helped out during The Break by completing the many detours in the game.
