* The PC game ''[[Secrets of Da Vinci: The Forbidden Manuscript]]'' has a bookcase in one room with a different letter on each book's spine. To open a secret passage, you must click on the books that spell out the name of da Vinci's lover. Even if you know the name from a previous playthrough, however, the passage will not open until after you've been told the name by an NPC.

* In ''[[Breath of Fire II]]'', [[Cute Bruiser]] Katt has several high grade attack spells in her inventory, but lacks the MP to use them. The only way to use them is to find the Black Shaman (which won't unlock until you've [[Gotta Catch Em All|found all the others]]) and fuse Katt with her and the Blue Shaman (one of the first Shamans you can find), at which point Katt will become a [[Lightning Bruiser]] (at least until she takes enough damage to undo the fusion).

** You can also get a house resident who will boost Katt's AP stat roughly threefold, allowing her to use the much more physically powerful Black/Red fusion, but this is something of a [[Guide Dang It]] even by the standards of ''[[Breath of Fire II]]''.

* In ''[[Oddworld]]: Abe's Oddyssee'', the locks in the rooms of the Paramonia and Scrabania Temples requires a melody to be played using the 3 bells. You might know the correct melody from a previous playthrough and you can try to enter it, but it won't work. You must learn the melody and then go back to the bells, which will now play the melody automatically and open the door.

* ''[[Dead Rising|Dead Rising 2]]'' lets you create Combo Weapons before you've attained the proper Combo Card that tells you how to make it. However, without the Combo Card you don't gain the x2 PP bonus you would usually get from using a combo weapon, and you don't have access to the weapon's "Heavy" attack.
