{{tropelist}}
* [[Action Survivor]]: When Sarah sees Dan and Rios being stalked unawares by a Crawler, she doesn't attack the Crawler or try to shout out a warning. Rather, she {{spoiler|tackles Rios and keeps her from making a sound while the Crawler attacks and kills Dan, then stealthily grabs Greg's supplies off of his body while the Crawler drags his corpse away.}}
* [[Badass Grandpa]]: Sheriff Vaines gets a jump scare with a Crawler leaping out screaming. His reaction? Punch it in the face and knock it down.
* [[Call Back]]: {{spoiler|Rios'}} escape is nearly a shot-for-shot remake of the first movie's ending.
* [[Chained Heat]]: Vaines chains himself to Sarah partway through the movie to keep her from running away.
* [[Covers Always Lie]]: Not so much the cover, but the blurb, which promises "a new tribe of crawlers, inbred, deformed and even more viciously feral". Nope, same old Crawlers as the first movie.
* [[Cruel Twist Ending]]: See [[Shocking Swerve]].
* [[Deleted Scene]]: A handful, mainly setting up the rescue team of cavers. Oddly enough, all of the scenes are included as a single continuous chapter with no commentary.
* [[Downer Ending]]: {{spoiler|[[Kill'Em All]], much like the original.}}
* [[Hollywood Darkness]]: The sequel forgoes pitch-blackness for silhouette shots in most cases
* [[Never Found the Body]]: Exploited to <s>not</s> explain {{spoiler|Juno's}} survival after the events of the first movie.
* [[Not Quite Dead]]: Much like Beth in the first movie, {{spoiler|Greg}} proves to be not quite dead when he grabs {{spoiler|Juno}} on their way out.
* [[Redemption Equals Death]]: {{spoiler|Sarah and Juno}} have learned from each other that the easiest way to survive is to make sure that the others die. By the end of the film, they've both executed self-sacrifices to allow others to live.
* [[Revised Ending]]: Based on the [[DVD Commentary|Director's Commentary]] and an [https://web.archive.org/web/20090415061736/http://hubpages.com/hub/THE-DESCENT-2-coverage early script review], the ending may have originally lacked its current [[Shocking Swerve]]. If so, it was definitely a failed [[Author's Saving Throw]].
* [[Senseless Sacrifice]]: {{spoiler|Greg}} tackles one of the Crawlers into a chasm to give {{spoiler|Cath}} a chance to get to the other side whereupon she's killed by a Crawler on the other side. Admittedly, he was probably dying at the time due to having had the side of his neck torn out.
* [[This Is a Drill]]: Greg uses a power drill in his kit to kill one of the crawlers by drilling into its head.
* [[Took a Level in Badass]]: Once she recovers her memory, Sarah regains all of her levels in Badass. {{spoiler|Juno}} isn't far behind.
* [[Vasquez Always Dies]]: {{spoiler|Juno and Sarah.}}
* [[Wild Child]]: {{spoiler|Juno}} initially seems to have reverted to this in her survival. She gets better.
