Trivia

• The errand's target is the only Rockbreaker found in The Cut, and the only Daemonic one thus far.
• Although Unmak claimed he had hunted the same machine years before, Daemonic Machines are considered a recent phenomenon. This possibly implies that HEPHAESTUS is capable of turning non-Daemonic machines, or had created at least one before the Thunder's Drum incident.
• The Claws Beneath can be compared to Redmaw, being an individual machine known to be especially deadly among their kind, felling many hunters.
• The insulated weave special modification is stashed in a box near the Control Tower.
