%% * GettingCrapPastThe Radar: Due to overwhelming and persistent misuse, GCPTR is on-page examples only until 01 June 2021. If you are reading this in the future, please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.

* CoDragons: Mander and Dogman.

* GagBoobs: The prostitute in the Whitechapel nightclub has these. They're as large as her head, she bounces them constantly on her crossed arms, and before Dan leaves, she [[VictoriasSecretCompartment gets out a life bottle]] and gives it to him.

* BareYourMidriff: Kiya. Also The Count when he loses his armor.

* AbsurdlySpaciousSewer: Dan ends up in these after [[spoiler: the death of Kiya, and his DespairEventHorizon]]. Only a few areas of 'The Sewers' are all sewer, though, as many areas in it seem to be large caves.

* ArtifactTitle: Of course the pun loses weight in Victorian Era thought there are still medieval elements.

* BigNo: Dan lets out one of these after [[spoiler: Kiya dies in his arms]].
* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: If you don't collect every chalice, the ending has Dan and Kiya returning to her tomb and [[TogetherInDeath sealing themselves away together in her sarcophagus.]]]]
* BookEnds: The intro shows Dan's battle against Zarok in his dragon form at the end of the first game. [[spoiler: The 100% ending shows Dan and Kiya going back to the same arena, this time, they face Palethorn in a similar form.]]

* ColossusClimb: The first boss is the giant T-Rex skeleton in the museum, whose sole weak spot is it's exposed brain. As Dan you will need to climb up it's spine and attack it's brain while standing atop it's head.

** Dan has one of these after the [[spoiler: death of Kiya at the hands of [[UsefulNotes/JackTheRipper The Ripper]]]], and stops caring about the Zarok spellbook and Palethorn altogether, running off to the sewers.

* DiedInYourArmsTonight: [[spoiler: After she's slaughtered by Jack the Ripper, Kiya vanishes in Dan's arms with the same effect when you kill enemies. She gets better.]]

* GainaxEnding: The secret ending for collecting all the chalices. [[spoiler:Dan and Kiya use the time machine to return to Dan's time, accidentally arriving in Zarok's castle, but its revealed in a WhamShot that the OneWingedAngel monster attacking them inexplicably has Lord Palethorn's head instead of Zarok's. Roll credits.]]

* GoldenSuperMode: After [[spoiler: going back in time and meeting himself]] Dan gets a golden suit of armor which can be charged up by the Spiv for an extra layer of durability.

* NeverTheSelvesShallMeet: Averted, [[spoiler: Dan goes back to the past to save Kiya from [[UsefulNotes/JackTheRipper The Ripper]], and after killing him, [[ItMakesSenseInContext Dan meets himself as he comes in to save Kiya]]. They shake hands, resulting in them becoming one, giving Dan a snazzy suit of golden armor.]]

* SuddenDownerEnding: In the best ending (the one that you get if you collected all the chalices) [[spoiler: Dan and Kiya take the time machine back to Dan's own time, only to arrive in front of transformed Palethorn, who lunges at the camera, implying that he ate them]]. This crosses with DiabolusExMachina and GainaxEnding. It might have been a SequelHook, but [[LeftHanging we'll never know]].
* TacticalSuicideBoss: A problem faced by several bosses in the game, including Tyrannosaurus Wrecks (stands completely still whenever it summons minions, making its weakpoint [[NoticeThis incredibly obvious]] in the process), The Count (his spells can be reflected back at him using [[BossArenaIdiocy mirrors]]), The Ripper (makes himself vulnerable whenever he stops attacking Dan in order to [[spoiler:attack Kiya instead]]), and Palethorn's Cruiser (vulnerable to being attacked from behind whenever it flies by shooting missiles; in an interesting twist, atacking the cruiser doesn't damage it, but getting punched by [[spoiler:the Demon]] due to accidental friendly fire does).

* AfterlifeOfService: Kiya is an ancient Egyptian peasant girl who was chosen by Pharaoh Ramesses to be one of his many consorts. He died before being able so consummate their relationship, but left instructions she was to be put to death and mummified so she could serve him as a bride in the next world.

* SequelDifficultySpike: Larger amounts of enemies with higher amounts of health and a wider variety of attacks that usually reach longer, fall damage that can easily cause a death, taking damage now stuns you, and rejuvenation fountains no longer replenish when revisiting a level.

* {{Retcon}}: The intro shows Daniel killing Zarok while in his OneWingedAngel form, so far as to have his stuffed head and legs appear in the first level, The Museum. This is odd, because after being defeated in the first game, Zarok reverted back to his usual self, before getting [[SquashedFlat crushed by a huge stone]].

* TacticalSuicideBoss: A problem faced by several bosses in the game, including Tyrannosaurus Wrecks (stands completely still whenever it summons minions, making its weakpoint [[NoticeThis incredibly obvious]] in the process), The Count (his spells can be reflected back at him using [[BossArenaIdiocy mirrors]]), The Ripper (makes himself vulnerable whenever he stops attacking Dan in order to [[spoiler:attack Kiya instead]]), and Palethorn's Cruiser (vulnerable to being attacked from behind whenever it flies by shooting missiles).

* WeakenedByTheLight: Wulfrum Hall features puzzles where you have to push vampires into sunlight, which sets them ablaze.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Whitechapel's "club" is all but stated to be a brothel, particularly as UsefulNotes/JackTheRipper (famous for having targeted prostitutes) is killing the women in the neighborhood who work there.

* EverythingsSquishierWithCephalopods: Greenwich introduces us to to the body-hijacking octopi.

* DownerEnding: Failing to collect all chalices will result in [[spoiler: Kiya and Dan returning to Kiya's tomb and dying to together.]]

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Whitechapel's "club" is all but stated to be a brothel, particularly as JackTheRipper (famous for having targeted prostitutes) is killing the women in the neighborhood who work there.

* UsefulNotes/JackTheRipper: There's a boss named "The Ripper" who runs around 1800's Whitechapel and kills prostitutes.

* ArtifactTitle: Of course the pun lose weight in Victorian Era thought there are still medieval elements.

* BookEnds: The intro shows Dan's battle against Zarock in his dragon form at the end of the first game. [[spoiler: The 100% ending shows Dan and Kiya going back to the same arena, this time, they face Palethorn in a similar form.]]

* FlunkyBoss: Tyrannosaurus Wrex calls for smaller dino skeletons to its aid during its boss-fight. It also [[AttackItsWeakPoint exposes its weakpoint]] by doing so.

* GainaxEnding: The secret ending for collecting all the chalices. [[spoiler:Events transpire exactly the same as the normal ending, with Dan and Kiya using the time machine to accidentally arrive in Zarok's castle, but its revealed in a WhamShot that the OneWingedAngel monster attacking them inexplicably has Lord Palethorne's head instead of Zarok's. Roll credits.]]
