Line 19:
=== Looks like the only way out is in. ===
* [[Altum Videtur]]: El Oscuro in the original spat out angry, nonsensical Latin at you ("eat your veggies", among them).
* [[Attackable Pickup]]: The Priest Porridge, which can be turned into a more effective Priest Porridge Hot with a carefully aimed explosion.
* [[Batter Up]]: The magical Excalibat weapon.
Line 61:
* [[Rocket Jump]]: The [[Trope Maker]]. The first game that allowed you both to look up and down ''and'' fire a rocket that won't instantly destroy you utterly.
* [[Self-Imposed Challenge]]: There's one, which makes the entire game [[Trial and Error Gameplay|Nintendo]] [[Luck-Based Mission|Bloody Impsossible]] (think of ''[[I Wanna Be the Guy]]'') instead of just [[Nintendo Hard]]. All you need to do is: <ref>Go get WinROTT</ref> <ref>Look for ''config.rot'' file and set the ''[[Super Hard]]'' option to 1</ref> <ref>Open [[Win ROTT]] itself and set 'TIMELIMIT 36000; MAXTIMELIMIT 36000; WARP (fully optional) [number of level you wish to play]' in the command line, without quotes. Time limit gives you a possibility to have infinite lives during those 10 hours of play.</ref> <ref>Select the hardest difficulty. '''Never''' use savegames.</ref> The basic purpose of this challenge is to polish your missile-dodging skills SO throughout you wouldn't even imagine. The catch is: every Lightning Guard wields one of the many lootable rocket launchers (or, considering there's no sprites of them carrying a RL, rocket pistols). Should only you be [[A Worldwide Punomenon|unstrafeful]] for a split of a second, you'll be thrown back to the drawing board. Considering Low Guards and Lighting Guards tend to change between each other randomly, the challenge will become ''purely'' luck-based. [[Have a Nice Death|Have fun dying!]]
* [[Shareware]]: The original game has this and the commercial, full version. The shareware has different levels from the full game. Its title is ''Rise of the Triad: The HUNT Begins'' and the full version is named ''Rise of the Triad: The Dark War''.
* [[Shout-Out]]: Krist's full name is [[Red Dwarf|Sebastian Doyle]] Krist, and one of the music tracks is titled "Run Like [[Red Dwarf|Smeg]]". Similarly, entering the console command "[[Red Dwarf|Nodnol]]" would cause the level to go foggy. A couple [[Commander Keen|Dopefish]] also show up.
* [[Standard FPS Guns]]: Subverted. You've got your pistol and machine gun, but from there the game offers several rocket launchers with different functions, a magical baseball bat, a literal [[God Mode]], and an alternate Dog Mode.
Line 67:
* [[Twenty Minutes Into the Future]]: According to the game's opening, it takes place "one year in the future".
* [[The Walls Are Closing In]]: In early versions, [[Deadly Walls|even touching an approaching wall causes instant death]]. While walls usually were independent movers, there are some places where sections of walls move back and forth to crush the player and one level where it appears the walls are closing in when you hit a touchplate but stop at the last second.
* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?]]: Naturally.
