** The Blood Sword and Longinus spells give you a powerful melee weapon for the rest of the battle, but the need to waste a turn equipping them means they'll take multiple turns to deal enough damage to make up for the time you spent equipping them, especially as removing enemy limbs as quickly as possible is the standard strategy.

** Learning skills is a fiddly, multi-step process that can be hard to figure out for new players. You need to use a bonesaw on a dead enemy to remove the head, swap them for soul stone shards at an imperfect ritual circle, combine the shards into soul stone in the Combine menu and only then sleep to use them at the hexen. That's on top of getting the contestant souls or affinity with the game's gods to unlock them in the first place.

* AlreadyUndoneForYou: Most of the contestants will often travel ahead of you, even into areas that you didn't already clear, yet there are no signs of them fighting any monster on their way there. It's [[JustifiedTrope justified]] with August, however, as he engages in LeParkour to get around Prehevil, allowing him to avoid any enemy in his path.
** Daan's loss of an eye in his attempts to resurrect [[LostLenore Elise]] is heavily implied to be a use of Magna-Medicinal from his skill tree, which resurrects a target at the cost of a body part. The reason that it fails is also supported by game mechanics, as you have to sacrifice a limb rather than an eye, and it has to be done in combat, whereas Daan tried to resurrect her long after she died.
** Caligura's Killing Intent skill makes weak foes run away and cower in fear. His confrontations with Levi and Henryk have both cowering, the former suffering from a withdrawal that significantly weakens him, and the latter being a CowardlyLion who knows of Caligura's scary reputation. [[spoiler:Marcoh as the protagonist isn't fazed at all during his confrontation with Caligura, however, as he already took on a group of mobsters in his backstory, and is a much better fighter than Caligura.]]

* InsurmountableWaistHighFence:
** One of your first obstacles is the gate to the Old City. Despite the fence not being too tall (to the point that August just jumps over it) and not even having spikes or barbed wire on top, you still have to look for keys (or a [[ShootOutTheLock trenchgun and a shell]]) or ways to bypass the gate entirely.
** The shortcut doors in the inner city are short enough to climb over, but you instead have to look for a way around to unlock them from the other side, or somehow break them open
** The worst, however, are the blue pushable crates, which are waist-high, but can't be climbed, pulled, or pushed sideways. One, in particular, blocks the straightest way to the tower, forcing you to go looking for three effigies to unlock a way through the church.

* CuttingTheKnot: Thanks to the introduction of guns, you can actually kill certain bosses without going through the standard boss fights just by shooting them. The trade-off is, of course, the loss of precious ammo.

* CorruptChurch: Prehevil's Church of Alll-mer is rotten to the core, and this is a setting where that's ''really'' saying something. The basement holds evidence of mass human sacrifice rituals, otherworldly monsters, and some amount of worship of the Old Gods. O'saa even remarks that whatever this church worships, it certainly isn't Alll-mer. [[spoiler:Various bits of lore hint that this church, and perhaps the wider Church throughout Europa, in fact worships Sulfur in the guise of Alll-mer, but it's kept vague enough to be uncertain.]]

* OrphanageOfFear: St. Domek's Orphanage was a hellhole even before the festival, with orphans being badly treated and disappearing without a trace, chained child skeletons in the basement, one of the head priests implied to be [[PedophilePriest molesting the orphans]], and a complete lack of privacy (with several folders being devoted entirely to personal information on the orphans), and there being a Gro-Goroth circle (implying child sacrifices) and a Sylvian one. Levi, having grown up there, will be traumatized and anxious if you bring him to the orphanage.
