* ArtisticLicense:

* {{Deuteragonist}}: Even though she isn't the PlayerCharacter Nadine Ross is as much the protagonist of the story as Chloe, and the game's narrative focuses on the relationship between the two women.

* FireforgedFriendship: Chloe and Nadine start the game barely able to stand one another's company. But as they fight Rebels, solve puzzles and have heart to heart talks they become close friends. Nadine and [[spoiler:Sam]] a little less so by the end, but hey at least they no longer want to kill each other.

** Chloe snarks that she never went to America which hangs a lampshade that the Uncharted series (except for both the flashback to the orphanage and the glimpses into Nate's retired life in ''Uncharted 4'') are never set in USA. She also notes about the Drake brothers that while she knows Nate well, she doesn't know Sam, muttering [[RememberTheNewGuy he just came out of nowhere]], echoing many complaints fans had about Sam.

* MaleGaze: You play the entire game as [[MsFanService Chloe.]] [[VideoGame/Uncharted2AmongThieves Admit it, you missed that ass.]] Nadine is less vain and wears much more practical pants.

* ShoutOut: A well-hidden treasure near the end of the game, a "Strange Skull," is in fact the Skeleseer toy from ''The Last of Us: Left Behind''.

* StealthBasedGame: PlayedWith, the game certainly incentivises you to play more stealthy then Drake, by providing you with silenced weapons early on. Chloe also tends not to be as good at up close fights as Drake was needing one or two more hits then he did. But going in guns blazing is also a perfectly sound option.

-->'''Nadine:''' [[spoiler: Sam Drake. His "goddamn" expert is Sam Drake!?]]

* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: Asav pretty much every time he runs into Chloe and Nadine. He never just shoots them on sight, and he doesn't even have the excuse that previous Uncharted villains have had (wanting to keep the heroes alive so they can help him find the treasure), because he always makes it clear he's planning to kill them eventually or makes a thwarted attempt to do so. [[spoiler:Even after he finds the Tusk, he still doesn't simply shoot personally, for religious reasons.]]

-->'''Chloe:''' Nadine... [[spoiler:Sam's sort of the reason we're here in the first place.]]

** Persia, as in Ancient Persia, has ''never'' invaded India as a whole, and the parts of India that might have been clients of the Persians are today in Afghanistan and Pakistan, they never reached Karnataka and the Western Ghats. [[note]]The only major event of Persian (or Iranian) invasion of India was Nader Shah's sack of Delhi in 1739, which was the ShockingDefeatLegacy of the Mughal Empire, leading to the loss of the Koh-I-Noor diamond and the Peacock Throne, and even that was more a raid rather than outright conquest, since Nader Shah went back to Persia after looting and raiding the North of India[[/note]].

->'''Nadine Ross''': Think it's safe?\\
'''Chloe Frazer''': You know that treasure hunting is not a good gig for the risk-averse, right?\\
'''Nadine''': Neither is being a mercenary. Difference is, when I pull the pin on a grenade, I know what's going to happen next.\\
'''Chloe''': My way's much more fun.

* CueTheRain: [[spoiler: After Nadine abandons her and Chloe is left alone with her regret, it starts raining...]]

--> '''Chloe:''' Haha... you're not kidding.

-->'''Chloe:''' I am so proud.

-->'''Chloe''': Nadine... [[spoiler:Sam's sort of the reason we're here in the first place.]]

* OnceAnEpisode: {{Averted}}. Every ''Uncharted'' game in the series opens with a quote from a famous explorer. ''The Lost Legacy'' is the first game not to do so. In fact, this is the first game in the series where the main story doesn't relate with any famous explorer. The closest it gets to an explorer is [[spoiler:Chloe's father, who was obsessed with the Hoysala Empire, but murdered by bandits before he could make his big discovery]]. His name isn't even mentioned.
* PlotMandatedFriendshipFailure: The reveal that Chloe was hiding from Nadine [[spoiler:that she and Sam Drake are working together, causes Nadine to feel outright betrayed. When Chloe tries to explain, or more like excuse, why she hadn't told Nadine earlier, Nadine punches her in the face, then takes the Jeep and leaves Chloe behind. Luckily it doesn't last long thanks to the rebels blowing up the Jeep, and a ride on an elephant after freeing her from fallen debris is enough to bring them back together.]]

** When the two women enter Halebidu, Nadine looks through her binoculars and sees that Asav has already preceded them, with his expert [[spoiler:...Samuel Drake. Nadine isn't very pleased, especially when she learns that Chloe actually hired her to rescue him.]]

* FamousLastWords:
-->[[spoiler:'''Orca:''' ''Catch!'']]
-->[[spoiler:'''Asav:''' Oh, you smug little shit!]]

! Tropes

** As written in the ''Brahmanda Purana'', [[spoiler:Ganesh is shown in the final puzzle to have willingly sacrificed the end of one of his tusks to Lord Parashurama; though he was by far the stronger of the two and could have easily beat his opponent, Ganesh knew that the axe the hero fought him with was bestowed by Shiva, and he could not dishonor a gift given by his own father, even if it meant Parashurama would mutilate him. Asav, who always viewed the legend as a triumph of the Indian people's strength in combat, is taken aback that the true moral is of humility, love, and letting go of the material.]]

[[spoiler:Again, Chloe and Nadine save a mother elephant who gets pinned down by a fallen column, and she carries them a short distance closer to the Tusk. They know better than to try getting close to her herd afterwards, though. If Chloe steps towards one of the bulls, he [[CruelElephant advances threateningly on her]], and Nadine warns her, [[PunctuatedForEmphasis "That bull. Will. Kill you."]]]]
