Attachment Located on a peninsula tip Northwest of the Isle of Spires boat launch is a small mat for the player to sit on and a note to read. When interacted with, Aloy sits down and recites a poem from the note:

"Here, we remember our friend, with a view as calming as his voice, on stone as strong as his spirit.

He was not just our rock, he was our oak, sturdy and stoic, whose presence brought us comfort and whose branches touched us all.

Rest in peace."

This is both a tribute to the late producer of the original Horizon Zero Dawn game, Patrick Munnik, and is also a reference to Ghost of Tsushima where players can frequently find small tatami mats to sit on and make haikus for a reward.

Located Southwest of Thornmarsh is a small hill with an Inari Shrine on top. In the same area, there is a small unkillable fox creature called an "Inari" that will lead you up to this shrine if you follow it. These are both references to Ghost of Tsushima in which you are frequently guided by Inari foxes to Inari Shrines for a reward.

Attachment The Grafted Blade Greatsword, which can be obtained by killing the Leonine Misbegotten boss at the end of Castle Morne in the Weeping Peninsula, is a reference to the Iron Throne from the book series "A Song of Ice and Fire" by George R.R. Martin, as well as its television adaptation "Game of Thrones." The sword was likely included in the game as tribute to George R.R. Martin's work as he worked with Hidetaka Miyazaki to create the lore of Elden Ring's world.

The main antagonist of the "Toyhunter" level, Zodick the Hellhog, is an obvious parody of Sega's mascot Sonic the Hedgehog. Not only are their names and designs similar, but Zodick attacks by rolling around the arena similar to Sonic's Spin Dash move, references Sonic's iconic finger wave pose, and drops rings whenever he is damaged. On top of that, defeating him reveals that he's actually a robot, with one of the scientists controlling him being voiced by then-Sonic voice actor Ryan Drummond.

Attachment The inclusion of Hugh Neutron in the game as DLC, particularly instead of his son and series main protagonist Jimmy Neutron, was a response to an ironic internet campaign to get the character in the game known as "Hugh Nation", led by Hugh voice actor Mark DeCarlo and YouTubers The Superverse and Uncle Al, following Hugh trending on Twitter due to memes related to the game's reveal. When Hugh performs his strafe taunt in the game, he can say the voice lines "Hello internet!", "Thank you internet!" and "Hugh Nation!", referencing this push. The showcase for Hugh's moveset, which was aired at EVO 2022, mentions Hugh being included as a "thank you" to the devoted Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl community.

At the shrine, there is a scroll containing a poem hinting at how to do so. Spoiler:The player must equip the Sakai Clan armor and perform the action for unsheathing their sword in front of the shrine to obtain it.

This questline follows a family that is fleeing the island of Tsushima who are leaving notes for an unaccounted family member named "Toku". Spoiler:The fate of the family and of Toku are left ambiguous by the quest's end.

Attachment At one point in the game's development, SpongeBob's strong dash attack was intended to involve him running with scissors. This was vetoed by Nickelodeon, with community manager Thaddeus Crews suggesting that Nickelodeon may not have wanted a character many children view as a role model partaking in an easily-imitable dangerous activity. The scissors exist in the game files, attached to SpongeBob's model, but in an untextured form with no bones for snipping.

In the final game, SpongeBob's strong dash attack was a slip and fall based on a single frame from the episode "Krabs à la Mode" that became a meme.

In the Bonus Mission "The Icon", there are two civilians talking by the entrance about how they want Icon to be replaced by someone else, namely Dave Bateson, instead of Dino Bosco (the target of the mission). This is in reference to the development of Hitman: Absolution and the subsequent fan backlash the casting change caused, where 47, normally voiced by David Bateson, was going to be replaced by William Mapother; the voice actor for Dino Bosco in "The Icon".

This initial casting change was at the request of Square Enix, and IO Interactive had recorded some lines in secret with Bateson to show Square Enix, and once they heard them, they relented and Bateson was brought back to play 47 in Hitman: Absolution at the very last minute.

In the German version of Gothic, during Chapter 2 of the story you can find members of the German rock band In Extremo playing live in the old camp, performing an acoustic version of their interpretation of the Swedish folk song "Herr Mannelig" (Mister Mannelig). They are in the files for other versions of the base game and in the files for Gothic II's Night of the Raven expansion, but are never used outside of modding due to copyright issues. This cameo was intended to be cross-promotion for the band.
