* The attack on the hydra monster in ''The Realms of the Gods'', including the Badger chewing through a skull to the brain, and a flock of starlings mobbing it.

* Kel facing her greatest fear ever, heights, and risking having to retake all her years as a page, just to save Lalasla and Jump after they've been kidnapped.
** How about when she takes command of her group of pages when they're attacked by a large group of raiders, keeping them all alive against the odds?

* The last bit of Ulasim's speech after the riot: "Any child knows it is better to swim with the tide than against it. We attack in force at dawn."
* The Growl in ''Terrier''.
--> I'd heard of a Growl, when Dogs took up a challenge. It meant ill for the Rats that made them voice it. But it was one thing to hear of it, another thing to sit in the Mantel and Pullet and hear that rumbling snarl come from dozens of throats.
* Alanna's duel against Dain of Melor. She's only a squire at the time and beats the snot out of him after her breaks the rules and tries to kill her. [[IamNotLeftHanded All with her less domainant hand.]] Which is related to another CrowningMomentOfAwesome, namely learning to sword fight with her left hand and a too heavy sword after her right arm is broken.
* The climax of ''Lioness Rampant''. Pure chaos as the various {{evil plan}}s all come crashing together, and just about every named character gets something big to do.

* George Cooper. He's amazing with knives, incredibly intelligent, and the ''King of Thieves'' by the age of '''seventeen'''.
* Alanna's entire fight with Ralon in ''The First Adventure.'' He's bigger than her, and has been tormenting her for months, and yet she refuses any help from her friends and takes him on alone. And completely trounces him.

* Kel's defiance of the {{Standard Female Grab Area}} in ''Squire''. When Lerant insults her and grabs her arm, she simply flexes her bicep, which becomes so big that he can't keep a grip on it.

* The raka citizenry rising to the defense of the Balitangs when the King's Watch tries to assassinate them. Centuries of oppression finally begin to be thrown off for good. And including the amazing image of two women, one raka and one luarin, working side by side to fight the soldiers, giving hope that there can be peace between the two sides after the rebellion ends.

* Kel spends her first year as a page enduring constant and vicious bullying. Soon, she figures out that someone weighted her lance with lead to make her look awkward. When it breaks, she gets handed another such lance by [[{{Jerkass}} Joren]]. This is so unjust that Kel finally breaks...by going into TranquilFury so calm that nobody can tell, and then becoming the first trainee to hit the target. With her weighted lance. She goes on training with not only the weighted lance, but weighted axe and sword as well.
** To add onto this? She keeps pushing herself until she can hit dead center every time, uses a willow ring (most rings are oak) to train with, and becomes the best in not only her class, but the ''entirety of the pages''. By ''Squire'', she only loses jousting matches when she wants to, to keep people from thinking she's enchanted. (Except when she jousts against Wyldon, but ''everyone'' loses to him.)

* The raka citizenry rising to the defense of the Balitangs when the Kings Guard tries to assassinate them.

* The female Balitangs all get some good hits in during the final chapter of ''Trickster's Choice'', with [[spoiler:Sarai turning on Bronau once and for all, Winnamine killing one of his henchmen with a candlelabra, and Dove getting rid of the bastard for good with the arrows Nawat gave her.]] And then there's Nawat [[spoiler:pulling a BigDamnHeroes by convincing the other crows to take human form for a little while.]]

* Kel's mission to [[spoiler:rescue the refugees who were kidnapped from Haven]]. Throughout the whole thing she proves herself an excellent tactician once again, whittling down the enemy's far superior numbers using every trick she's learned over the course of four books, before the final showdown with Stenmun and Blayce.

* Kel's {{The Reason You Suck Speech}} to Idrius Valestone, including turning his sexist rhetoric around on him by mocking his baldness.

* Neal dealing with Tobe's abusive former master, by putting a spell on him that will make him feel every piece of physical abuse he gives out himself, which may or may not be a bluff.

** Also, her showdown with Ozorne in "Realms of the Gods", where she spends the entire fight dodging every piece of magic the stormwing throws at her by constantly shape shifting, and when she has no magic left, stabbing him in the chest with her badger claw.
