Grail Quest: Difference between revisions
Alright, I expanded the FGO example but I am not sure if this counts as spoilers or not since I am not well versed in them.

Line 44:
* In ''[[Devil May Cry|Devil May Cry 3]]'', the power Sparda keeps sealed on the Temen-ni-gru is a subversion of this: one has to overcome several puzzles and trials to advance, and the path must be fully opened with pieces of an amulet and using the blood of a priestess which helped Sparda in sealing the gateway to the demon world with her life. However, as the Temen-ni-gru is a gate to the demon world, trying to obtain the power of Sparda even for good use can only end badly for mankind as demons can easily and great numbers enter Earth if it is unlocked. The puzzles, the bosses, and the blood sacrifice are there because Sparda intended it to be nearly impossible for anyone to get to the end.
* In the first ''[[God of War (series)|God of War]]'', Kratos's search for the Pandora's Box to defeat Ares. There are several puzzles and trials testing his strength and smartness, not to mention a sacrifice made to the gods. Depending on the version you're playing, it's either an undead soldier(Europe) or a very living human being who begs Kratos to not kill him(USA). In the latter, it's clearly made to determine someone's willingness to kill an innocent man for the ultimate good. In contrast with his usual willingness to kill everyone and everything in his way, Kratos does it with clear regret.
* ''Fate/Grand Order'': Humanity has been destroyed by an event known as the Human Order Incineration Incident except for the Chaldea Security Organization. Chaldea's main objective is the Grand Order aka Quest for the Holy Grail "Grand Order" to reverse the eradication of humanity.
