5) The Holy Grail
Tapping into Arthurian Legend, the Holy Grail is whatever it needs to be. Whether a dish, a simple plate, or an ornate goblet, the treasure is supposed to grant a near perfect life to whomever uses it. Want to look 21 forever? Drink some Gatorade out of the Holy Grail. Hey, make those good ole’ days forever by eating that steak off of your local Holy Grail.
Because isn’t that what Nathan Drake is looking for? Isn’t he looking for perfection, a life filled with all the treasures in the world? He’s a treasure hunter, so why isn’t he tempted to find a treasure that leads to the ultimate life? Uncharted has also shown to be heavily inspired by Indiana Jones. It was a major part of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, and it would be cool to see how Naughty Dog adapts one of the greatest treasure hunts in film history.
