* UnwinnableByMistake/[[UnwinnableByInsanity Insanity]]: In the first King's Field (the Japanese one), you can easily throw out keys and important items from your inventory without an opportunity to get them back. On the other side, there are no item/weight limit or moments where you need to drop any items, so the only way to screw yourself up is to deliberately try to get rid of your inventory.

* AirBorneMook: Present from the first game on.

* MoneyForNothing: You're likely to hit the money cap of 99,999 gold around halfway through ''Additional I'', mainly since not only do items sell for a whopping 80% of their value, but the stringent inventory limit of 12 items also means you're selling the vast majority of things you find anyway. As you can always buy back anything you've sold, this basically turns the item store into more of an item storage with a small retrieval fee.

''King's Field Additional II'' is a follow-up to the previous game, taking place another ten or so years later in the same location but with a different player character. A series of strange natural disasters in the area prompts the dispatch of an investigation team into the long-closed off labyrinth. Some time later the protagonist, the son of the man who led the investigation team, receives news that his father has died in the ruins under unknown circumstances. He begins his journey to Trauzit the very next day, determined to learn the truth behind his father's fate.

Already the man seems suspicious, but otherwise isn't hostile or anything. Come back later and this same man will be blocking the door yet through the door's window bars, you can see him turn his head to the side and a snake's tongue occasionally flicking out. Return quite some time later and a Widda (a snake-man), will be roaming around, wearing the man's clothes. You can kill him for a crystal vial. In order to prevent the transformation, however you need to give him a Widda Egg from the Widda Mines, to which he'll give you the vial as thanks and be returned to normal later on.
