Attachment If the player waits for approximately thirty minutes after "THE END?" is on screen, an additional message appears, stating, "You're a patient one, aren't you? Well, here's another cryptic credit, just for you..." Followed by the lone credit, "DOLLY GRIP Brian Fehdrau." This is a joke credit attributed to lead programmer, Brian Fehdrau.

Attachment Surprisingly, there is a third hidden message in the credits beyond Carltron's, "THE END?" and "DOLLY GRIP Brian Fehdrau," that reads, "It's Bill's fault." This message appears very briefly before the screen fades to black.

According to Fehdrau, the lead programmer, "It's Bill's fault" was an inside joke regarding Bill Kristiansen, another one of the programmers working on the game, who had "a particular habit of being at fault when [a build of the game] was busted."

Attachment An enemy that can randomly spawn in the Eridium Blight map is called Donkey Mong, an obvious reference to the Nintendo character "Donkey Kong". Not only is his name just a simple letter replacement, but he attacks the player by throwing barrels, similar to Donkey Kong's first title. Upon killing Donkey Mong, the player will earn the achievement "Definitely An Italian Plumber", a reference to the Mario series, also by Nintendo, as well as an achievement in the first Borderlands, "My Brother is an Italian Plumber".

Attachment The Client "Wounded Hunter" in the six-star ranking quest "Avenge the Fallen Hunter" says in the details of the quest: "My weapon... bounced off it's hide like a toy. That thing moved... so fast. Before I knew it... I was knocked cold. The Medicine Man says it's... just a scratch, but the pain! Avenge my flesh wound!" This seems to be a refrence to the Black Knight from the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail, where the Knight proceeds to fight King Arthur and gets all of his limbs cut off, saying the lines: "'Tis but a scratch," and "Just a flesh wound."

M'Aiq the Liar is a Khajiit rogue who can be found on a small island southeast of Dagon Fel in the Sheogorad Region. He is an Easter egg, and much of his dialogue refers to many requested or anticipated features of Morrowind which were not included in the final release of the game. He also mentions another easter egg, the Mudcrab Merchant. He is encountered again in Oblivion and Skyrim with similarly-themed dialogue.

Lautrec of Carim is a very obvious nod to Yurt, the Silent Chief from Demon's Souls. Both are heavily armored with their faces covered, both use twin shotels and parrying daggers, both are first found imprisoned and imploring that the player help free them, and both eventually begin to murder other NPCs. The difference is the scope of their killing; while Lautrec is limited to one murder, Yurt can murder nearly all the NPCs in the Nexus.

Subtle references and similarities to Kentaro Miura's manga "Berserk" can be found hidden in the game. The earliest example that can be discovered is the blacksmith Rickert, the name of a character in Berserk who was also a blacksmith.

Beatrice the Witch, who can be summoned twice as a Phantom for boss fights, bears a striking resemblance to the Berserk character Schierke.

The main character of Berserk, Guts, can also be seen referenced in a few different ways. A much more subtle reference is Black Iron Tarkus, a character summoned as a Phantom and seen later as a corpse in Anor Londo. His black armor and greatsword are said to be absurdly heavy and only able to be donned by him due to his incredible strength. Guts, while his armor is somewhat differently designed, is known for wielding weapons of absurd weight, and was also known for wearing black armor. What's more, the design of the Dark Souls Greatsword resembles the design of one of Guts' earliest swords.

The second reference is contained within the Dark Souls DLC in the form of Artorias, the Abysswalker. Some similarities include the design of Artorias' armor and Guts' Berserker Armor, their swords' abilities to damage demons and ghosts, their symbolism and references to wolves, their mangled left arms and their losses of sanity (though for varying reasons). In addition to that, many of Artorias' poses both for the DLC promotions and for in-game cutscenes greatly resemble official artwork of Guts from Berserk.

When Red is encountered at the summit of Mt. Silver, he has no dialogue, merely repeating sets of ellipses before beginning the battle. This is a reference to his silent role in Generation I, as he only answered yes or no questions. This trait carried forward to future generations, including the HeartGold and SoulSilver remakes.
