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.
▲* [[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).
* [[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.
* [[Character Witness]]: Done quite movingly at the ending, where everyone praises the good deeds that you performed. {{spoiler|If you've done the right things in the game, this culminates in you being granted the title of paladin.}}
Line 25:
* [[Cutscene Power to the Max]]: Your character single-handedly defeats a whole army of brigands with not a single scratch. It happens off screen and you only see the results.
* [[Dem Bones]]: The ghouls.
* [[The Dev Team Thinks of Everything|The Dev Team Loves]] [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Horrible Puns]]: Typing "put down lamp" nets the same result as "use lamp," but a funnier message, in which your character insults the lamp thoroughly. Typing "drop lamp" plays it if as if you're breaking off your relationship with the lamp, with several fire-based puns.▼
* [[Disney Villain Death]]: {{spoiler|Ad Avis.}}
* [[Eat Me]] - Part of the approach necessary to take down the [[Bonus Boss]].
Line 42 ⟶ 43:
* [[La Résistance]]: In Raseir, {{spoiler|led by Shema's cousin, Sharaf, the last remaining katta in the city.}}
* [[Light and Mirrors Puzzle]]: Keapon Laffin's "Force Bolt Flurry" game (only in the remake) is essentially this, though with you casting Force Bolts instead of a light source, and with the added challenge of preventing Keapon from reflecting his force bolts into ''your'' territory.
* [[The Maze]]: Shapeir is a sprawling city, with numerous side-streets, dead-ends, and important locations hidden within. The game provides you with a [[Feelies|map]] that shows the streets themselves, but doesn't show the important locations. If you ask for directions, you'll be told the names of the streets you need to follow to get where you're going. You can also buy a (non-magical) map that shows all the locations you've been to, and allows fast travel to any of them within the city.▼
** Raseir, being a mirror of Shapeir, has exactly the same layout, {{spoiler|but you have to turn the map upside down for it to make sense.}}▼
** The Shapeirian Desert averts this, however, as it has only four important locations throughout the course of the story, and the directions to find them are straightforward.▼
* [[Mercy Rewarded]]: When being initiated into the Eternal Order of Fighters, refusing to kill your opponent results in you attaining only the rank of Brother Saurus, though it allows you to become a Paladin at the end of the game (where killing your opponent would prevent it, but the EOF would award you with the rank of Brother Scorpion.) Similarly, killing Khaveen when he is disarmed during your battle near the end of the game prevents you from later attaining Paladin status, though it spares you the headache of a very tough battle.
** It should be noted that there is no real in-game advantage to having a higher rank in the EOF, and the later games don't do anything with it at all. {{spoiler|Also, whichever option you choose, your opponent doesn't die anyway: your sword is a fake for that battle.}}
Line 57 ⟶ 61:
* [[Significant Anagram]]: Raseir -> Sierra.
* [[Something Else Also Rises]]: In the second game, when Zayishah is stripping herself to put on your spare clothes, a long note that slowly rises in volume is played (it's more easily heard in the AGDI remake).
▲* [[The Dev Team Thinks of Everything|The Dev Team Loves]] [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Horrible Puns]]: Typing "put down lamp" nets the same result as "use lamp," but a funnier message, in which your character insults the lamp thoroughly. Typing "drop lamp" plays it if as if you're breaking off your relationship with the lamp, with several fire-based puns.
▲* [[The Maze]]: Shapeir is a sprawling city, with numerous side-streets, dead-ends, and important locations hidden within. The game provides you with a [[Feelies|map]] that shows the streets themselves, but doesn't show the important locations. If you ask for directions, you'll be told the names of the streets you need to follow to get where you're going.

▲** The Shapeirian Desert averts this, however, as it has only four important locations throughout the course of the story, and the directions to find them are straightforward.
* [[Thirsty Desert]]: It is possible to die of thirst while wandering the desert. You need to carry several water skins, and to fill them all.
* [[Translator Buddy]]: Poet Omar's aide translates his poetry.
