''Ragnarok'' (also known as ''Valhalla'' in Europe, not related to the earlier 8 bit game ''VideoGame/{{Valhalla}}'') is a freeware {{Roguelike}} DOS game heavily based around Myth/NorseMythology, and is notable for being one of the first Roguelikes to use graphical tiles rather than text-based graphics. Like ''VideoGame/NetHack'', it has an item-heavy focus, though luck still plays an important role, especially early on in the game. How much luck comes into things will also depend partly on your playing style.

Trope was cut/disambiguated due to cleanup


* DropTheHammer: War hammers are fairly effective weapons, and Mjollnir is one of the most powerful weapons in the game if you can obtain the strength needed to wield it.

This is Just For Fun and not a trope


* SuperWeight: You start off low down, barely able to fend off the local wildlife, but chances are by the end of the game, you'll be one of the most powerful beings in the universe, save for the gods.

Added DiffLines:

* WakeUpCallBoss: The lorkesths and Harbard at the River Gioll. They're far mightier than anything before them, they [[BeefGate guard the gate to Niflheim]], and they're a heads-up that you're leaving Midgard for realms where no mortal has any business venturing, and that avoiding enemies you can't beat is always an option.

* DiscOneNuke: Potentially possible if you get extremely lucky and find powerful items on an early level. It's even possible to find the sought after wand of wishing in the starting village, but extremely rare.

** Speaking of wishes, wishing for a dead breleor is a fancy way to catapult yourself into the midgame at maximum warp. Eating a breleor's corpse gives you the power of dimensional travel without resorting to alchemy, and that's not only a free escape from almost any tricky situation but the fastest (if least precise) form of travel in the game. Being able to d-travel can get you early access to many areas where you don't really have any business being in the beginning that can provide beneficial loot with less risk than getting there the "proper" way.

* AwesomeButImpractical: Mimming, Gungnir, and Mjollnir are designed for the gods to use, not you. You ''can'' use them if your strength and experience level are high enough, but by the time you both have the weapons in question and the necessary might to wield them, you'll probably have Hela's Scythe, which is more powerful than any of them in your hands.

Mjollnir is light enough that it's reasonably practical to have enough strength for it by the midgame, and [[PrecisionGuidedBoomerang returns after being thrown]], so [[DownplayedTrope it's a little more practical as a throwing weapon]].

Death By Sex is no longer a trope per this TRS thread Zero Context Examples and examples that do not fit existing tropes will be deleted.


* DeathBySex: Unlikely but potentially possible if a [[DistractedByTheSexy nymph]] seduces you and steals an item you needed to survive.
