Vindictus: Difference between revisions

Line 222:

** When an enemy is defeated, their weapon can sometimes be picked up and used as an [[Improvised Weapon]]. The weapon will disappear after a while, though.

* [[The Vamp]]: [http://www.vindictuswiki.com/wiki/Shayla Shayla]. The only overtly sexual female NPC, and she doesn't hesitate to utilize this to entice the player into doing her bidding. {{spoiler|Interestingly, she seems to be [[Only Sane Man|the only one who knows]] from the start that the war is wrong and the "monsters" are really oppressed minorities. Not that she cares, as long as she's making piles of money off it.}}

* [[Wake Up Call Boss]]: If you go into the fight against the Gnoll Chieftain thinking it's going to be like the previous boss fights, you are going to get your ass kicked hard. He is the very first boss you face that makes extensive use of smash attacks, which deal a lot more damage than regular attacks, will lay you out on the ground if you get hit by them, and cannot be blocked by Fiona's shield without a special skill that you get only after defeating him for the first time, which makes staying clear of his [[Drop the Hammer|giant hammer]] key to surviving the battle.

** As of the Episode 5 update, we have the Irukul raid boss. It's notable for being the first boss where you genuinely NEED a strategy in order to complete the battle. Otherwise, even if you have unlimited revival items, you very possibly won't be able to deal enough damage before the time runs out. Even if you use a strategy an average run takes [[Marathon Boss|around half an hour,]] whereas previous boss battles could be wrapped up in 10-15 minutes. Also qualifies as [[That One Boss]].

* [[Wham! Episode]]: Episode 3 has the firm real wham moment which the battle appropriately called "Wake Up Call": {{spoiler|Ellis dies in a cut-scene just before fighting the final boss.}} This is a Wham moment for Gwynn, too, who deals with the fallout of this later.

** Both halves of Episode 8 offer Wham moments, but for different reasons. In part 1, {{spoiler|the allies you met in Episode 5.5 have turned into fomors, and are two of the bosses for this area.}} Part 2 ends with {{spoiler|Gwynn dying to protect Keaghan, and both Keaghan and the hero leaving the Royal Army. Considering that Gwynn had been an important recurring character from the start right up to this point, this could be a real blow to the player losing the character.}}

* [[What Do You Mean ~~Its~~ Not Cosmetic]]: Most of the titles earned by a hero grant stat boosts, ''whether or not they are equipped''. Seasonal titles, though, are pure bragging rights.

* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Cosmetic?]]: Most of the titles earned by a hero grant stat boosts, ''whether or not they are equipped''. Seasonal titles, though, are pure bragging rights.

* [[What Measure Is a Non-Cute?]]: Subverted with the Guardian Spider in the prologue; and Tieve's love for spiders in general. There is even a quest to aquire a spider egg for Tieve to hatch and raise as a pet.

* [[What Measure Is a Non-Human?]]: Played brutally straight. The goddess Morrigan has apparently mandated the genocide of all non-human sentient races, in order to bring about her version of Paradise. This causes quite a bit of angst for several NPCs, including the Oracle of the goddess, who don't understand why she would command such a thing (or even if she really did).
