* JuxtaposedHalvesShot: [[spoiler:Right at the end of World 18, as the Knight and the Little Princess combined their collective synchronization with the Champion's Sword to purge Labose from Demon World, right as they plunge the two projections of the sword into the ground below, their portraits merge half-way, so that both of their faces are shown as two sides of the same coin.]]
* KeepAway: There are multiple cases in which an antagonistic entity tries to keep some important object out of your hands. In any case, the solution is to use your wits to trap the perpetrator and deal with them when they are knocked out, because they are faster than you and always have multiple escape routes.
** In 1-3, a goblin steals a [[Characters/GuardianTalesWorld9 Rah Empire]] girl's purse, and when you [[ChronicHeroSyndrome inevitably opt to retrieve said purse]] the goblin attempts to keep it out of your hands, [[IShallTauntYou taunting you all the way.]]

* LethalLavaLand: The aptly named 'Lava Zone' of World 7 is a section of Dungeon Kingdom that is filled with lava pools and flame traps galore.
* LevelCap: Starting at an initial level cap of 30, it can be increased by increments of 5, per completed world, up until World 7, after which the cap increases by increments of 3 instead (with the exception of World 17, in which completion boosts the level cap by 5 to level 95). You can increase this cap further, by an extra 5 levels in a process called 'limit breaking' (but only for specific character caps), using a currency known as Hero Crystals. A similar level cap exists for weapons and accessories, except limit breaking is only possible through specialized limit breaking hammers.

* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Shields are items that can be equipped in conjunction with One-handed Swords that bolster defensive capabilities, as well as provide incoming damage reduction and, for higher rarity equipments, a slew of benefits for the wielder. Of course, as said, ''only'' heroes actively wielding One-handed Swords [[KnightlySwordAndShield can wield shields too]]- but this does not mean that all heroes that use One-handed Swords can use shields; for example, Marina is a One-handed Sword user who cannot equip a shield.
* MilitaryMage: When the antagonistic force of a particular world is more sophisticated and organized, like [[Characters/GuardianTales the Invaders]], they will often deploy ''en masse'' significant quantities of wizards, healers/priests, and, from World 13 and onwards, wall wizards.
* MissionImpossibleCableDrop: [[spoiler:In 10-3, there is a puzzle where you must cable-drop the [[Characters/GuardianTalesLightUniqueHeroes Future Princess]] into an underground chamber filled with mines and monitored by a [[LaserHallway laser security system]] to disable the Invaders' security network in that section of Heavenhold.]]
* NamedWeapon: While regular weapons typically have very generic and/or descriptive names (like 'Holy Sword' or 'Scale Sword'), [[InfinityPlusOneSword EX Weapons]] typically have actual, personal names, like [[Characters/GuardianTalesDarkUniqueHeroes Beth's]] 'Predator' or [[Characters/GuardianTalesWaterUniqueHeroes Veronica's]] 'Messiah'.
* NitroBoost: Of the first variety: boost pads are recurring structural elements that immediately accelerates the player to maximum speeds significantly higher than their max running speed for a second or two- [[InertiaIsAHarshMistress and you lose control of movement for this duration.]] Of course, because of this, they can just as easily be insurmountable obstacles.

The point of divergence, if you will, for this iteration started a decade ago, before the game begins, with the anomalous birth of LP, who absorbed much of the now-weakened Guardian's power. As such, the latter was too weak to kill Beth where she stood at the throne of Kanterbury, meaning she could lock them away ten years in the Unrecorded World, while Lili's hand was forced to find a replacement for the weak Knight.

** World 16 drops follows up its predecessor with some bangs. [[spoiler:Camilla is revealed to have been working with the Invaders in exchange for protection from her evil ancestor Queen Lili who has worked behind the scenes for centuries untold eons to enforce the prophecy that dooms the world. She confirms that the Knight will destroy the world if should they meet and kill the Savior, so she took over Heavenhold to kill them so she could take their role as "Hero" for herself to avert it. After the Knight defeats her, she is possessed by Lili and is forced to Lili's letal sacrifice herself, directing upon herself a lethal magical attack on herself attack, to protect the Little Princess.Princess and deny Lili a new host.

** World 17 continues this cycle: [[spoiler: Right off the bat, the Princess is shown to have fallen into a state of extreme despair and denial, enough so to disappear herself and ''the entirety of Heavenhold'', seemingly excluding it's personnel, into an alternate reality ([[AmbiguousSituation perhaps of her own design]]) where the Invader attack never happened and Camilla still lived, temporarily living in that reality with only scattered and disturbing memories of real life and the Guardian. Meanwhile, and Demon World falls into civil war with the specter of the Invaders still lingering over the world and a new, baleful Labose flower blossoms over Saul. Then, after Lorraine makes her return after nearly ''six worlds'', it is confirmed that Kaden is, in fact, the Plague Doctor, researcher and master of Labose, and creator of the aforementioned innkeeper. And while the ongoing war may not be of his design, it will come to consume and depopulate much of Demon World. Finally, at the end of the world, after the Princess came to her senses, and returned at the behest of one of the Knight's broadcasts, she brought back Heavenhold, and activated it, causing it to transform into it's HumongousMecha form, to combat the newly birthed Labose monster.]]
