* ShoutOut: Bryda gives Geron a magic lens that can show traces of magic when you look through it, and mentions that it was invented by a "Magister de Hoto". This is a reference to another Daedalic game, ''TheNightOfTheRabbit'': Jerry's coin is used in much the same way in that game, after the Marquis de Hoto enchants it for him.

* AntiFrustrationFeatures: The forest maze is easily the most annoying part of the game, being both randomized and difficult to navigate on account of the paths looping around to previous sections even when that doesn't seem to make sense. If you stay in the forest maze long enough, you're given the option to just skip right to the spider at the end. In fact, skipping actually has no negative consequences, even when it comes to achievements. The two related to the maze can be earned without actually figuring the maze out, and the spider achievement comes after the maze.

Of course, it's not as simple as a word game. Geron starts having dreams of Sadja's life as well, and resolves himself to sorting out the mystery of Sadja's life in addition to solving the riddle and keeping Nuri safe.

Fahi believes this riddle is the key to understanding the story of Sadja, a princess of Tulmidya who carried a mighty artifact of unknown providence called the Mask of Malakar and participated in the battle against the demons in the Gorian desert centuries ago. Fahi and his daughter have had persistent dreams of Sadja's life, and want to understand how her story was resolved.

This riddle was inscribed over the door of the tomb of Malakar, a Moghul mage of a bygone age who wielded a powerful Mask of unknown providence and power. Fahi believes this the riddle is the key to understanding the story of Sadja, a princess of Tulmidya who carried a mighty artifact of unknown providence called the Mask of Malakar looted Malakar's tomb, took his mask and his staff, and participated in the battle against the demons in the Gorian desert centuries ago.

* DudeWheresMyRespect: With a few exceptions, the Andergastrians don't recognize that Geron is the one who defeated the Seer, and consequently treat him almost as badly as they did in the last game.
Added DiffLines:
* {{Determinator}}: Geron carries over this quality from the last game. Sadja demonstrates a determinator-streak too, [[spoiler: particularly when she attempts to fight a powerful sorcerer using nothing more than scrounged items and a weak magic staff after the gods themselves appear to have rejected her.]]

* ImmuneToFate: The Garden of Oblivion is a rare example of a location that is outside fate. Satinav, God of Time, cannot see what happens in there. Consequently, by the will of Satinav, nothing that happens in there can affect the outside world.

* [[spoiler: NeverLearnedToRead: Part of the game's TwistEnding - it turns out that Sadja was never a princess. She was an illiterate commoner with a fake tattoo, and just stormed into Malakar's tomb without regard for the riddle. Besides making the entire riddle business a RedHerring, this also meant that she could not have read the memory-erasing spell on the Mask of Malakar.]]
