* One Sidequest has Bayek being sent on a journey by some local stragglers. Upon finding the ring, the whole thing turns out to be a ShoutOut to ''Lord of the Rings'', and Bayek briefly starts experiencing powerful visions while en route to the group. Once he gets there, it becomes very clear all three of the people that sent him away are willing to violently fight each other over the ring, and when it gets lost in the struggle they all desperately start looking for it, never stopping and constantly leering at each other.

* The death of the Crocodile, Berenike. Bayek is roaring at her, screaming the name "Shadya," the girl even her men were horrified by the execution of. And the only emotion she displays is disdain, offended that an Egyptian killed her. [[ButForMeItWasTuesday She doesn't even recognize the name.]] Sometimes the greatest horrors are in the banality of the evil done.

* A scene, which isn't part of a cutscene and can be missed, at Cyrene where some minions of Flavius recite their master's philosophy. It'd be unnerving enough ''without'' the CreepyMonotone some of them have, but then you hear what they're saying. "[[VideoGame/AssassinsCreedIII Even when your kind appears to triumph, still we rise again. The Order of Ancients is born of a realization. We require no creed. No indoctrination. All we need is that the world be as it is]]." Then it hits you: You're seeing the beginning of the Templar Order, right then and there. Worse, Bayek tries telling everyone it's just propaganda, and no-one listens.

** In a similar case, the afterlives are very bizarre and unsettling. Even Nefertiti's, which has large fields of reeds and may appear soothing, still have creepy stuff like giant scorpions around certain parts, complete with an eclipse in the sky.

* Cyrene, after Flavius has been through with the Apple. Featuring such lovely sights as farmers beheading workers for no reason, dancers being made to dance forever, women screaming to the world how they would kill their families just to see him for an instant, and people calmly yet slowly walking into bonfires at their "god"'s command.
