{{tropelist}}

* [[Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors]]: Some enemies drop gems. Those gems are used by the enchanter of the fifth zone to give elemental properties to your sword and armor, with the usual powers and weaknesses (Fire/Water, Earth/Wind, Dark/Light). This becomes important later on in the game, when you will face bosses that can be damaged only by a specific kind of power (for example the fire demon Efreet can only be hurt by a Water-powered weapon). However, opposing powers cancel out each other even on the equipment: if you, for example, use on your sword both Dark and Light gems, they would be wasted because one element automatically depowers the opposing one.

* [[Enemy Summoner]]: The Necromancer boss won't hurt you on its own, he only shoots black and blue magic balls that push you past the boundary of the screen, forcing you to restart the fight if you don't have a particular item. However, he will summon many undead enemies such as Skeletons, Zombies and Ghosts.

* [[Forced Level Grinding]]: See Beef Gate.

* [[Fridge Logic]]: The Sand Golem is not a part of the Golem family of enemies, but a species on its own. Maybe because he's so weak.

** Then there are the [[Palette Swap]] enemies, who fit the trope. They're basically upgraded versions with a ton of hp added, but give ludicrous amounts of loot (compared to the weaker versions). They're also incredibly rare to find, and there's a high chance of you finding one and not having the damage (read: patience) to kill it. An interesting example is the Golden Knight, the strongest member of the Living Armor family. It appears very rarely, has ''insane'' defense, but if you somehow manage to find and defeat it, it will drop a level 9 (maxed out) armor with +9999 Fire protection that can't be found anywhere in the game.

* [[Mirror Boss]]: The Doppelganger, who copies not only your look but also your sword's size.

* [[Monster Compendium]]: The Library in zone 11 shows you every kind of monster you have defeated.

* [[Nintendo Hard]]: Where to begin?

** Then there's the Golem family. The strongest examples are the [[Iron Man|Iron Golem]] and the [[X-Men|Colossus]]... which are made to look like Warmachine and Iron Man respectively.

** The color palette of the Succubus Queen is a bit reminiscent of [[Darkstalkers|Morrigan Aenslaed]].

* [[The Grim Reaper]]: Death, the boss of zone 15.

* [[The Unpronounceable]]: The names of the locations and of some characters are composed by randomly arranged letters and change at every new game.
