* PowerfulPick: Pickaxes are effective against rock monsters or monsters with rock-like exteriors, and they all have the Excavate Unleash to deal three hits to a single foe. Lambda recieves a pickaxe from her fellow manafinders, and she can obtain better ones by completing Gobithia's questline.

** King Vikar was once a benevolent leader to humanity, but after receiving the blessings of the gods, he created a the Kingdom of Manahill and eventually let the power go to his head. He ends up creating a lopsided legal system where he and his inner circle exile anyone they don't like.

* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Azain is very insulting towards the recently deceased Soren, but he gives Lambda a manastone seemingly out of goodwill. It turns out he tampered with the manastone so that it would allow him and the nomads to breach the Settlement's defenses.

* WouldHurtAChild: The criminal justice system of the Kingdom of Manahill is perfectly fine with exiling criminals, rightfully accused or not, along with their children, knowing that the monsters outside of Manahill will most likely eat them.

* StrawHypocrite: King Vikar portrays himself as a ruler who is willing to use draconian laws to keep Manahill crime free. However, it turns out that he's really using the legal system to exile anyone who could threaten his power in any way possible. Of note is when he accuses the Oracles of serving the evil goddess Illia, which later turns out to be a lie because the Oracles actually receive prophecies from the main gods Behra, Vaethia, and Allaror. His true reason for exiling them is because they could reveal that he fell out of favor with the main gods.

* SpeakIllOfTheDead: Azain mocks Soren for getting killed by the Cataractadon.

** The Nomads believe that those who cannot live without a barrier are weak and unworthy of life. Their society is also based on strength, where the weak must obey the strong. As a deconstruction, strong leaders like Lhania are not allowed to mingle too much with the weak commoners even if they want to.

* RightForTheWrongReasons: Starkas believes the Settlement should reject the manastone that Azain gave them, mainly out of pride rather than logic. Later, it turns out that the manastone was tampered with to allow the Nomads to invade the Settlement.

* RespawningEnemies: Enemies only respawn if the party rests in the Settlement tent or at a campsite. The only exception is in Allaror's Wrath, where enemies will endlessly spawn and home in on Lambda's location.

* NonStandardGameOver: The ending for [[spoiler:siding with Illia has no FinalBoss and doesn't grant access to NewGamePlus.]]

* MultiMeleeMaster: Lambda is capable of using a variety of weapons, each of which is effective against specific types of enemies.

* MagicStaff: Savius drops his staff upon his defeat. It has no advantages against any enemy type and instead deals non-elemental magic damage.
