* TheNeedsOfTheMany: [[spoiler: In the end, Lightning chooses to sacrifice the lives of the ponies in the stable in order to destroy the Darkness and save the Crystal Heart, instead of using the Crystal Heart to destroy the Darkness, which would have saved the ponies in the stable, but lost (or even destroyed) the Crystal Heart forever. With the Crystal Heart retrieved, it can be used to heal the wasteland and save many more lives.]]

* ElaborateUndergroundBase: The stable itself is very large, and many parts aren't visited during the story.
** ''This stable was made to be a museum. Art, artefacts, technology, even the ponies in here... This place was designed to keep everything in here safely locked inside... Apparently most of them didn't know they were sharing this prison with... Something else.''

* TokenEvilTeammate: Mirage is extremely manipulative, condescending, and willing to kill the other members of the expedition if it means getting what she wants. Whenever she helps someone else, it’s ultimately just to help further her own goals.

* [[spoiler: BittersweetEnding: The Crystal Heart is successfully retrieved, and its healing magic will likely go a long way to restoring Equestria to what it once was, but almost all of the ponies sent to find it are killed, and the two survivors are both haunted by what they experienced, in two different ways.]]
* ButThouMust: A voice tells Noria to go to the Overmare’s Office, through the Atrium. Noria decides that she wants to go to the Pipbuck Storage Area first, but the voice just tells her to go the Overmare’s Office.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler: Diamond Pick is eaten alive by the Darkness, and East Cost is frozen while being choked and pulled into the void.]]

* ShoutOut
** The Darkness is implied to be a remnant of King Sombra’s magic.
** When Lightning turns on the light on her Pipbuck, the light creates a safe zone of light for a radius of 85 centimetres from the Darkness. This is a reference to Byakuya Kuchiki’s Bankai from Bleach, which has a safe zone of 85 centimetres.
** Nero remarks that a certain weapon looks like it was made in Pinkie’s dungeon, having heard stories of the notorious Pinkamena Diane Pie. Sounds kind of like a certain fanfiction…
