The Old Guard 2 brings back action, mythology, and emotional twists, continuing the story of immortal warriors led by Andromache, also known as Andy. In this sequel, fans finally learn how Andy lost her powers—and how she gets them back.
How Andy Loses Her Immortality
In The Old Guard 2, Andy is no longer immortal. The film reveals that she lost her powers due to a wound accidentally caused by Niles, the youngest immortal in the group. Unlike the others, Niles holds a rare ability: her injuries can cancel out another immortal’s healing powers.
This accident happened during combat, when Niles unknowingly inflicted a wound that triggered Andy’s transformation into a mortal. According to the movie’s new mythology, this rare power makes Niles a “conduit”—someone through whom immortality can be transferred.
A New Threat and a Costly Power
The film introduces two powerful enemies, Discord and Tuah, who seek to exploit Niles’ ability. They learn that if a dying immortal willingly passes on their powers through Niles, the immortality can shift to a new person.
Andy’s loss of immortality becomes more important as the story progresses. She fights like a mortal, takes risks, and faces death. The stakes are higher than ever.
How Andy Regains Her Immortality
In a dramatic moment, Booker, another immortal and a former betrayer of the group, chooses to sacrifice himself. He wounds himself and finds Andy. Without speaking, he uses Niles’ power to pass on his immortality to her.
As a result, Andy’s healing ability returns. Booker’s wounds stop healing, and he becomes mortal. His decision helps Andy defeat Discord and survive the final battle.
The Old Guard 2 ends with this emotional shift, showing how sacrifice and loyalty define true heroism. With Andy’s powers restored, fans can expect more action and deeper stories in future films.
