* At the end of the story, in order to get past an army of Spectres, Aloy makes Beta release HEPHESTUS into the Zenith (more powerful than Zero Dawns) printing controls, so it can build an army of machines to fight them, then it goes back to the cauldron network, except now, it has the knowledge on how to print machines much faster and probably more powerful than ever, the only glimmer of hope is that when they captured it, the code Aloy and Beta were removing made it slightly more amenable to humanity.

* During Beta's early life, her only connection was with Tilda, who went out of her to build a data channel where the two would regularly interact. However, considering that Tilda was in a relationship with Elisabet Sobeck, Beta's genetic blueprint , desperately wants a ReplacementGoldfish (to the point of trying to kidnap and pontentially kill Aloy during the final battle) and the [[{{Narcissist}} type of person she is generally]], what guarantee do we have that Tilda wasn't trying to sexually groom Beta ? [[KickTheDog It also makes Tilda rejecting Beta as a inferior copy of Sobeck and Aloy even more revolting]].

* The [[DeflectorShields]] Far Zenith equip themselves with were not only foreshadowed in the previous game (Aloy's [[GameBreaker]] Shieldweaver armor, which was explicitly described as a prototype if you read the data points), but their weakness was also equally telegraphed as something that could be replicated even with the relatively "primitive" technology on Earth -- HEPHAESTUS created towers in the ''Frozen Wilds'' DLC that emitted a frequency which negated the advantage the Shieldweaver armor gave Aloy, forcing her to either fight sans protection or take out the source of the signal.

* The Cauldron KAPPA has a quite clever [[DoubleMeaningTitle]] in its name. Kappa is both the name of a Greek alphabet ''and'' the name of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kappa_(folklore) a Japanese mythical water turtle-like creature]], fitting for a Cauldron that has water as a primary theme and has what's basically a mechanical SeaMonster as the boss at the very end.

* Its pretty obvious most of the shout outs and allusions to ancient mythology. Greek/roman for the AI's, Horus and Anubis from Egypt. However 2 I just realized recently while watching a Super Bears Bros play through. Sobek is the crocodile god and tied to fertility. What does Elizabeth Sobek do, she saves humanity be making it be reborn. Pharaohs were the leaders of Egypt believed to be the center of the world that could do no wrong. What is Ted Pharaohs biggest weakness/failing, he believes he is the center of the world and can do no wrong.
