Line 298:
* [[Unwitting Pawn]]: The protagonist of ''Diablo''. Even the Archangel Tyrael falls into this category a bit. Or a lot, if you believe Izual. Arguably ''everyone'' in the series was a [[Unwitting Pawn]] to the Prime Evils. Especially in the first game. Nobody ever figures out the true agendas of the Prime Evils until it's too late.
** Poor, poor Marius.
* [[Urban Legend of Zelda]]: The cow level in the first game. It's an actual level in the second, with its "secrecy" in [[It Was His Sled]] territory.
** Possibly referenced with the exploding cow corpses in Tristram in ''Diablo II''.
* [[Urban Segregation]]: Kurast.
* [[Useless Useful Spell]]: Averted for the most part. While at first sight anything that has to do with freezing, stunning, knocking back, fleeing, or converting won't work on anyone important, they DO work well on those "anyone important"'s minions, and a well built character (and their merc) can take on even the scariest uniques one on one if the minions are not joining the fight.
Line 309 ⟶ 307:
* [[We Buy Anything]]: Shopkeepers love to buy items from you.
** In the first game, only related items can be sold to the relevant shopkeeper. The sequel relaxes the rule and plays this trope straight.
* [[Wham! Line]]: "I am not the archangel Tyrael."
* [[What Happened to the Mouse?]]: When you kill Mephisto, Natalya disappears. There's still no word as to where she went.
** She described herself as a "Hunter of Evil" whose job was to hunt down rogue mages, and Tal Rasha was a rogue mage (to put it lightly), so it could be inferred that she went after Baal... but you never see her in ''Lord of Destruction'' either.
