''Quest For Glory II: Trial by Fire'' is the second game in the ''[[Quest for Glory]]'' series. Following his victory in the first game, our hero travels with the Katta innkeepers Shema and Shameen and the traveling merchant Abdulla Doo to the desert land of Shapeir. At first glance all seems well: Shapeir is a thriving city-state in the midst of the desert ruled by a wise and generous Sultan.
However, a year before the Hero's arrival Shapeir's sister-city Raseir was taken over, and a cruel new regime imposed, supposedly led by Ali al-Din, the brother of the former Emir. Rumors of a [[Man Behind the Man]] circulate, yet a magical force serves to keep even the powerful enchantress Aziza from seeing what is really going on in the city, and also repels forces sent by Shapeir to reclaim it. And even though the old Emir is supposed to be dead, [[Never Found the Body|no one has ever seen his body]]...
Line 16:
* [[Atop a Mountain of Corpses]] - After the offscreen battle during your journey to Raseir.
* [[Awesome Moment of Crowning]] - {{spoiler|In the end, the sultan adopts you as his son, making you a prince.}}
* [[The Blacksmith]] - Issur. He makes quality daggers and swords, but he's also a bit of a prick (and a sore loser when you best him at arm wrestling).
* [[Back Stab]] - In the remake, thieves who sneak around in the desert sometimes encounter enemies who are unaware of their presence. Throw a dagger in their back [[For Massive Damage]] (often fatal). It's not honorable, but it's dreadfully effective.
* [[Bonus Boss]]: The fanmade VGA remake has the Pizza Elemental. Between his huge defences, his ability to heal, his huge damage output, his continuously ranged pizza drop attack, and his autokill attack, he is easily the [[Incredibly Lame Pun|cheesiest]] boss in the game.
Line 48:
* [[Nonstandard Game Over]]: Taking the oath to be accepted into the Wizards' Institute of Technocery. You get the best education imaginable and become a knowledgeable and accomplished Wizard, but you spend about twenty years doing so, dooming the land of Shapeir you left behind.
* [[Offscreen Moment of Awesome]]: Played hilariously straight. Your caravan is accosted by hundreds of brigands and looks to be overwhelmed. Following an intermission, [[Cutscene Power to the Max|you find yourself on top of a mountain of corpses, the brigands vanquished]].
** What makes it even more awesome is that a mere ''five'' guards could overwhelm and subdue you without much effort in the first game. Clearly, [[Took a Level
* [[Pet Rat]]: Ugarte to Ferrari.
* [[Punny Name]]: Roget the Saurus. Keapon Laffin
