* Earth All Along: This is hinted a few times. [[spoiler: When you activate Golem's throne and choose to exit the area from it, you are teleported to seemingly another planet/moon, look up and you will see a familiar blue marble]]. Aditionally, when reading the slates detailing the history of Cenozoik/Zenozoik, the description of the geographical location matches [[spoiler: South America, the four natural barriers are: West- the greatest ocean (Pacific), North- endless deserts (Atacama desert), East- impassable mountains (the Andes), South- land of eternal cold (Antarctica)]].

* Forbidden Zone: Zenzoik is this to [[spoiler: the rest of the planet]], within Zenozoik, this is East/ eastern mountains.

* EverybodyWasKungFuFighting: As the people of Zenozoik do not have any concept of law or justice, conflict resolution is done by fighting, much to Golem's exasperation. This [[JustifiedTrope Justifies]] why everyone is so good at fighting.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: [[spoiler: Kax-Teh]], keeping with the conventions of the first game, is referred to only as "The Golem" or "Golem" by various Zenos. Even after Ghat and Rimat find out that he does, in fact, have a name.

* ForTheEvulz: [[spoiler: Xotl-Teh]] enjoys toying with the lives of the people of Zenozoik, including setting the events of the game in motion, solely to create amusing scenarios. He does this because otherwise, he would literally die from boredom, having lived for an unfathomable long period of time.

* DemotedToExtra: Deadra, Ghat's partner[=/=]love interest from the first game, is absent for most of the sequel. She left Ghat after his sulking about the Golem's laws became unbearable, hoping the Golem could bring prosperity to Zenozoik. She eventually becomes disillusioned with the Golem's laws, though, and leaves for the wilderness to start her own town.

* SequelHook: The final scene of the (rather short) ending shows that [[spoiler: Adrence is still alive; on a related note, the expanding threat of the Tiamte still is yet undealt with.]]

* AlienNonInterferenceClause: While he was not strickly forbidden from doing so, Golem was never supposed to go into Zenozoik. Instead his sole task was to guard the Northern barrier and prevent the people of Zenozoik from crossing it [[spoiler: in order to protect the civilized world from the lawless Zenozoik inhabitants]]. However, he enters Zenozoik with Ghat and Deadra, hoping to bring civilization to it. He eventually realizes this was a foolish and hopeless endeavor.

* BaitAndSwitchBoss: The entire game revolves around the conflict between Ghat and Rimat, who are fighting to preserve Zenozoik's totally unrestrained way of life, and Golem, who attempts to impose law and order on the land and its people. However, at the very end both Golem and Ghat team up to defeat [[spoiler: Xotl-Teh, the South Golem]] who has secretly spent the entire game dicking with both of them.

* WhamEpisode: [[spoiler: the end of chapter 8 reveals that Zenozoik is a land of exiled people many generations ago from a technologically advanced civilization.]]

* StockholmSyndrome: Rimat still cares deeply about Father/Mother, despite the fact that[[spoiler: he kidnapped her and her brothers from their biological parents,]]

The story starts a month after the final showdown with Father-Mother. Golem has revealed Father-Mother's terrible secret, that Father-Mother is a male creature who kidnaps babies and replaces them with animals, and has assumed control of Father-Mother's family. Father-Mother himself has been locked away in Halstedom's first civil institution, a jail, but Ghat and Rimat suspect something is amiss, and plan to break Father-Mother out.

* HeelFaceTurn: Rimat, previously the sister who led the hunt against Ghat after the supposed slaying of Father-Mother, joins Ghat as a playable character.
