The Immortal (video game): Difference between revisions

** Mercifully (or perhaps annoyingly, depending on your point of view), the NES version completely cuts out the stage with the most nightmarish death, where walking upon egg sacs causes you to promptly '''GET COVERED IN LIVE SPIDERS.'''

* [[Fountain of Youth]]: Dungeon feature. {{spoiler|It's also ''why'' Mordamir wants the dragon dead. Mordamir's people wiped the dragons out to get at the Fountain and the associated immortality. Thing is, they missed one, which [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge|returned the favor]] on the conquerors...except, of course, Mordamir.}}

* [[Guide Dang It]]: The entire game is this and then some. Even with a guide you will die, a lot.

* [[Hoist by His Own Petard]]: {{spoiler|Mordamir, whose amulet protects him from the dragon he intends to use to kill you. Conveniently, you find a "Magnetic Hands" spell shortly before fighting him.}}

* [[Hope Spot]]: You will fall into lots of pits, which is usually instant death. Sometimes you'll catch yourself with your long staff. {{spoiler|Sometimes the staff breaks.}}

* [[Inexplicable Treasure Chests]]: Justified - {{spoiler|Mordamir wanted you to reach him, so he left useful equipment for you.}}

* [[Let's Play]]: By [[Slowbeef]] [http://lparchive.org/The-Immortal/ here]. It's worth noting that The Immortal is the first ever game to get officially Let's Played.

** [[The Many Deaths of You|Will Harvey Hates you and all that you stand for.]]

* [[Oh Crap]]: Mordmair as you gank the amulet from him in the final battle.

* [[Our Dragons Are Different]]: {{spoiler|Partway through, you begin dreaming of a civilization of dragons, which were peaceful until an army of humans attacked and destroyed them. One survivor counterattacked, but there was one survivor from that group... The last living dragon is at the bottom of the dungeon, and you must survive its fire breath until it wears itself out, at which point Mordamir will arrive to begin the final puzzle.}}

* [[Puzzle Boss]]: Every 'boss' character is fought using wits and spells, rather than the combat interface. Except the giant spider.

* [[Recurring Traveler]]: The merchant, who has exactly what you need when you need it. Justified when {{spoiler|Mordamir bitches at you near the end: "Look at me. Do I remind you of a merchant, perhaps?"}}
