** The [[Ho Yay]] is so omnipresent in this game that some fans [[Wild Mass Guessing|theorize]] Callo was only included to make it seem less homoerotic.
* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: Sydney {{spoiler|although he could not prevent Guildenstern from taking the power of Lea Monde at the end.}}
* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: The enemies called "Quicksilver". You meet them in the Undercity, which is dark, damp and claustrophobic. Then you suddenly hear giggling and [[Creepy Doll|large dolls resembling children]] stumble towards you, holding knives. In fact, the in-game monster manual says that these dolls are possessed by [[Creepy Child|the souls of dead children]]. If that is nothing to you, then the variety in the Iron Maiden sub dungeon will make you squeem.
** Another enemy from the same area is Harpy, a big flightless bird that would look quite normal, if it wasn't for a giant human face protruding from it's chest.
*** You wouldn't think a big chicken with a face on its gut would be frightening, but ''IT WORKS.'' To make matters worse, daring to fight one could potentially end your game by turning you to stone, and your first Harpy fight is mandatory.
** The Iron Maiden dungeon room names. Hint - they are not named after Heavy Metal bands. [http://ladyofspiders.wordpress.com/2008/02/07/punishment-torture-and-ordeal/ This page]covers more than a few of them, try not to think too hard about the others.
** The terrifying gleeful/insane expression on {{spoiler|Guildenstern's face in his first boss form. Oh lord, son, the man ain't right in the head.}}
** What happens to Grissom is especially frightening.
** Asura in Iron Maiden B3. All three of its faces look at you and has a very [[Hell Is That Noise|creepy]] laugh.
** The final boss' final form.
* [[Rescued from the Scrappy Heap|Rescued From The]] [[Scrappy Mechanic]] [[Rescued from the Scrappy Heap|Heap]]: Much of the game's atmosphere and mechanics originated in the RPG segment of ''[[Ehrgeiz]]'', which was truly terrible. ''[[Vagrant Story]]'' makes something ''gorgeous'' out of them.
* [[Scrappy Level]]: Did ''anyone'' enjoy the Snowfly Forest?
