History VideoGame / InfinityBlade

* [[spoiler:PostFinalBoss: The Ancestor is the final enemy fought in the game, but it is all but guaranteed to be a CurbStompBattle in your favor as his stats and health are identical to yours, which at this point are much lower than even [[{{Mook}} mooks]] you are facing,]] and considering you defeated the Zero Mech before him and have the Infinity Blade and Dragoor Blade, he is laughably easy.

* [[spoiler:PostFinalBoss: The Ancestor is the final enemy fought in the game, but he's not much different from the regular sword-wielding {{Mook}}s.]]

-->'''Ryth:''' I could not care less about the Pact or what you are doing here. I haven't faced a WorthyOpponent in centuries, and I yearn for the glory of a duel for the fates."

* BadassBeard: Easoleum has a good one.

* CantCatchUp: While traveling throughout the game's various locations, you may encounter [[spoiler: The Dark Knight]] from the first game. No matter how high you get in the Awakenings or how powerful your gear is, he'll always have much lower level than other enemies and can literally be dispatched in half a dozen hits. It's easy to feel sorry for the poor bastard when you kick his ass time and time again. Also overlaps with VillainForgotToLevelGrind.

** The Ring of Ice and Fire, a DiscOneNuke that gives you powerful offensive and healing spells (in addition to a ''30-point'' Magic bonus) is almost certainly named for [[ASongOfIceAndFire a particularly popular fantasy series]].

** [[BonusBoss Easoleum]], one of the Deathless Kings is quite polite, with his pre-fight dialog implying that he only wants to fight you [[spoiler:because you are being manipulated by the God King]].

* [[spoiler:GoodAllAlong]]: [[spoiler:Once you find out the God King's true motivations and goals, he's an AntiVillain at worst, and possibly even an AntiHero.]]

* BonusBoss: A lot: the owners of the Vile set, the Skycage prisoners and Ryth.

* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: The God King's real name, [[spoiler:Raidriar]], ''doesn't'' undermine his image by any means. When you [[spoiler:finally take him on as the final boss, his full name and title ''Raidriar the God King'']] only serves to underline how powerful this guy is.

* TurtlePower: One of the new Monstrosity enemies, appropriately named Chelon, resembles an enormous tortoise.
* UngratefulBastard:
** Xyloto, who immediately attacks you after you free him from the skycage.
** In fact, all of the Skycage prisoners are this, especially Xyloto and the Petrified Noc. The Iron Hunter also attacks you, but at least he realises you are not evil after you beat him, and apologizes for attacking you and pleads for mercy.

* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: On the flipside, if you choose to kill the Iron Hunter, you instead get his armour, the Hunter Mail.

* CantCatchUp: While traveling throughout the game's various locations, you may encounter [[spoiler: The Dark Knight]] from the first game. No matter how high you get in the Awakenings or how powerful your gear is, he'll always be capped at level 75 and can literally be dispatched in half a dozen hits. It's easy to feel sorry for the poor bastard when you kick his ass time and time again. Also overlaps with VillainForgotToLevelGrind.
*** He actually does eventually get to at least level 125, but even when he does level up, he still lags far behind the other Titans considerably in power.

* DamageSpongeBoss: The Dragons. The first one starts out with ''100,000'' hit points, and it just gets higher from there. The second dragon, Pisci, has ''500,000'' hitpoints and the legendary King of Dragons, Dragoor, carries a whopping ''750,000'' hitpoints, by far the highest HP of any enemy in the series!
** Actually, the cake of this trope goes to The Collector. He has a fairly large health pool the first time you battle him, but the second time you meet him, he's level ''2500'' and has ''200,000'' hitpoints. If you beat him again, his third appearance will have him at level '''10,000''' and will boast a crushing '''885,000''' hitpoints! At this point, you'll have to take breaks between the fight because he's a full on MarathonBoss at this point. Beat him again and...well, you see the pattern here.

** In a sense, there's also [[spoiler: Lelindre. She will ''completely'' overpower Isa when brought down to one-third vitality, but spare her when she realizes she didn't choose to become a Deathless, and can trust her to stop Galath.]]

* InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons: Siris and Isa can be randomly attacked during missions by a massive Dragon, Ba'el, bred by [[spoiler:the Worker to distract them from finding his actual plan.]] The Ausar Rising update adds a second Dragon, Pisci. [[spoiler:The final update, Kingdom Come, allows you to fight the legendary King of Dragons himself, Dragoor]].

* SeaMonster: The second Dragon, Pisci. Despite being obviously a flying monster, her appearance greatly resembles a giant fish-eel hybrid with wings, and her name has a very obvious connection to fish.
** Also, while exploring the dungeon of the Broken Tower, Isa finds a massive underwater window that fills a good portion of the far wall. Usually, it only shows empty sea, but occasionally, without warning, a colossal... ''thing'' will pass by the window, resembling a ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunkleosteus Dunkleosteus]]'' put on steroids. Thank goodness we don't have to fight that...

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The dialogue in it is spoken in a fictional language called pangean and parrying was a lot more difficult.

* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: The first game's events seem to have taught the God King to heed the EvilOverlordList.
-->'''Siris:''' Give me a sword. Fight me!
-->'''Raidriar:''' I think not. You... surprised me, last time. I don't think I'll put myself in that position again.

* InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons: Siris and Isa can be randomly attacked during missions by a massive Dragon, Ba'el, bred by [[spoiler:the Worker to distract them from finding his actual plan.]] The Ausar Rising update adds a second Dragon, Pisci. [[spoiler:The final update, Kingdom Come, allows you to fight the legendary King of Dragons himself, Dragoor.]]

* CloningBlues: [[spoiler: Turns out there's a cult in Koroth hoping to resurrect Ausar. For obvious reasons, it's not the ''real'' Ausar they have, but a Soulless clone who awakens anyway and immediately embarks on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge against Raidriar...who is, of course, already dead]].

* TheComputerIsACheatingBastard: Particulalry noticeable when you get hit by a Titan using the DualWielding style. The stagger animation for Siris and Isa when they are struck is longer than it takes for the Titan to land another hit on you. If you are hit by an unlucky attack, expect to take at least two more in succession due to the stupid animation preventing you from inputting any swipes to regain your footing.

* CompanionCube: During the opening cinematic, Galath speaks to the Infinity Blade as if it was an old friend from whom he has been separated for far too long.

* CantCatchUp: While traveling throughout the game's various locations, you may encounter [[spoiler: The Dark Knight]] from the first game. No matter how high you get in the Awakenings or how powerful your gear is, he'll always be capped at level 75 and can literally be dispatched in half a dozen hits.

It's easy to feel sorry for the poor bastard when you kick his ass time and time again.

* AntiMagic: The Worker of Secrets has the ability to disrupt a Deathless' Quantum Identity Pattern and kill them permanently. This also applies to the Infinity Blade that he forged.

* [[spoiler:DownerEnding]]: [[spoiler:The Worker of Secrets is revealed to have been sealed away by Ausar, Siris' Deathless persona, and in freeing him, both Siris and Raidriar are trapped in his prison, giving the Worker free reign to complete the dark plans he was working on. In the post-credit scene Isa is shown coming to the Vault, readying her weapon.]]

* SchizoTech: The guy who guards the third seal wears jet boots and fight you by riding a giant robot he's been fixing. In addition, the various living brutes and knights throughout the Vault are joined by very obvious MechaMooks.

* UngratefulBastard: Xyloto, who immediately attacks you after you free him from the skycage.

** AnAxeToGrind: Most of the Heavy Weapons is either this or a great hammer.

** DropTheHammer: Most of the Heavy Weapons is either this or a great axe
** SinisterScythe: One of the Heavy Weapons is in fact a scythe

* [[spoiler:EarthAllAlong]]: [[spoiler: In the ending mentioned in Doing in the Wizard, Eurasia, Africa, and Australia rotate into view on the hologram.]]

* [[spoiler: AfterTheEnd]]: [[spoiler: The series takes place on Earth, tens or hundreds of thousands of years after the planet was devastated, and the moon shattered.]]

* EarlyInstallmentWierdness: The dialogue in is spoken in a fictional language called pangean and parrying was a lot more difficult.
