Line 51:
* [[Did Not Do the Research]] - In ''Resurrection'': {{spoiler|"Before you, only two others had stood against the legions in purgatory. One was Daniel, who was looking for his love...and found her. The other was Belial, who was looking for revenge...but instead found mercy." The line about Daniel is likely referring to the first Painkiller's secret ending, which is non-canon, although Belial's ending was the exact OPPOSITE of mercy.}}
* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]] - The final boss is Lucifer himself.
* [[Die, Chair, Die!]]
* [[Discontinuity]] - Overdose started off as a fan-made mod to Painkiller. It shows. A lot.
* [[Easy Mode Mockery]] - The lower your difficulty choice, the fewer levels you can access. Curiously, if you play on the highest difficulty rating then the entire final chapter is locked out.
Line 74:
* [[Guide Dang It]] - How many of those secrets will an "average" gamer find without a walkthrough?
** A couple of gamers were this stumped on the Vampire miniboss in the catacombs level. {{spoiler|Shoot the ceiling and shine light on him.}}
* [[Guns Are Worthless]] - Not for you ([[No Kill Like Overkill|thankfully]]), but for the enemies. If you have armor on, you barely even take [[Scratch Damage]] on most difficulties ([[Death of a Thousand Cuts|it adds up fast, though]]). Then we have the bikers in the first Painkiller: they wield Tommy Guns in level 5-1 and [[Nail
* [[Harder Than Hard]] - two hidden difficulty levels (Nightmare and Trauma)
* [[Hell]] - The last level of the original; The earlier ones are actually Purgatory.
* [[Hell Is War]] - Literally. The final area of the game takes place in [[Hell]], which to the hero's human eyes looks like a time-frozen collection of historic war scenarios with the humans cut out, complete with an unmanned battering ram breaking through crumbling castle walls, grenades exploding in trenches, a crashing airplane and, looming in the distance, a giant mushroom cloud forming over an exploding atomic bomb.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]] - Most games with this game's development budget just have a couple of guys who sound like they were grabbed from the office across the hall do all the voice work. ''Painkiller'' actually goes the extra mile and has several recognizable voice actors, including Cam "Liquid Snake" Clarke as the main character, and the incredibly hammy Jim Cummings as Alastor.
* [[Highly-Visible Ninja]] - If they're not using projectile attacks, then they're about four inches from your nose trying to kill you. And they repeatedly yell in Japanese.
* [[Hoist By His Own Petard]] - {{spoiler|How Daniel defeats Lucifer.}}
Line 89:
* [[Literally Shattered Lives]] - You can freeze and shatter enemies. This is the best way of dealing with some [[Goddamned Bats]].
* [[Literary Allusion Title]] - [[Judas Priest (Music)|He is the painkiller,]] and [[This Is My Boomstick|this is the painkiller]].
* [[Luck
* [[Ludicrous Gibs]] - The Painkiller shreds enemies into a fine paste, and that's just the beginning.
* [[Malaproper]] - Daniel somehow pronounces Alastor's name as ''Allister''.
Line 109:
* [[One-Man Army]]
* [[Pacifist Run]] - Sort of; the Tarot Card challenge of ''Battle Out Of Hell'''s second level, Looney Park, is "Kill no more than 88 enemies". The first 67 kills are mandatory, so the Pacifism part only comes into play during the rail shooter section in the second half.
** Doubles as a [[Luck
* [[Power-Up Letdown]] - Many tarot cards.
* [[Puzzle Boss]] - It's easier to name those who are NOT: Necrogiant, Alastor, and Cerberus.
