* DecoyProtagonist: The game opens up with an armored warrior ascending to a throne room and challenging the God King's rule only to be disarmed during his fight with the [[TheDragon Dark Knight]] and subsequently impaled by the Big Bad's sword, dying without even getting to even clash blades with him. It is then revealed that you are going to play as the warrior's son back for revenge 20 years later, losing to the God King again repeats this cycle of avenging sons.



* TheDragon: The Dark Knight always comes back as the right-hand man of the God King, no matter how many times you kill him.

* BonusBoss: A lot: the owners of the Vile set, the Skycage prisoners and Ryth. Most of them are very strong and you don't need to beat them to finish the game, but many of the best items in the game are dropped from them.



* GloryHound: The BonusBoss Ryth gives absolutely zero fucks about what’s going on with the game’s plot; he is only interested in fighting a WorthyOpponent like Siris for the sake of having an entertaining battle.

* OptionalBoss: A lot: the owners of the Vile set, the Skycage prisoners and Ryth. Most of them are very strong and you don't need to beat them to finish the game, but many of the best items in the game are dropped from them.



* BonusBoss: Bosses that do not need to be beaten to finish the game include Oslim, Zuorsara, Minnoch, the Collector, [[spoiler:Lelindre (second fight), the Souless Ausar, Ryth, Dragoor and Varun.]]



* GuideDangIt: All of those seemingly useless maps you get? Yeah, they're each their own separate side quest for unlocking some sweet items. Good luck figuring that out on your own, though. The maps in the game are ''completely incomprehensible '' when you look at them. All of the maps display some vaguely cryptic clues on a location or weapon, but the rest is for you to discover. One in particular is the Map of Heaven side quest, which allows you to get the Worker of Secrets' armor, which happens to be the best armor for Siris, making this worthwhile. The map displays a picture of some building and two random weapons. Stumped, right? Turns out these weapons are the Blade of Heaven and the Axe of Heaven and are very expensive each. Siris and Isa must have these weapons equipped, then you must travel to the Metius Observatory and tap on an observatory in the right spot WAY in the background that you probably never noticed before you fight the first Titan. Then, you will travel to the Observatory where you encounter a BonusBoss and can claim The Origin armor, but there is no way a player could figure this out by themselves. Not to mention that the other maps cost a fortune in Battle Chips as well, so you'll spend loads of time and money for these cryptic quests.

* SkewedPriorities: [[spoiler:Ryth]] returns as a BonusBoss once again and, like in the last game, is completely unconcerned with the fact that the world will be destroyed by [[spoiler:Galath]] if he isn’t stopped and delivers his usual InsaneTrollLogic to Siris to justify staying out of the conflict.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Terrovax is spared by Isa at the end of Act II, as he has more roles to play. He never appears again in the game. In the Soul Hunter update, it is revealed that [[spoiler:Terrovax was the one who told them about [[BonusBoss Oslim]] and the Metius Observatory,]] though he is still mysteriously absent for the rest of the game.

** Like in ''Redemption'', Galath is all over this. [[spoiler: So is [[CloningBlues the Soulless Ausar]], who regards himself as the ''real'' Ausar after Siris debased himself by working with ordinary humans. Since he has the original's memories, it's a fair bet that pre-mindwipe, the original Ausar the Vile thought of himself as a God as well.]]

* SequelHook: [[spoiler: Once defeated, the [[CloningBlues Soulless Ausar]] sneers that ''he's'' the only one with all of the original Ausar's memories...which happen to include secrets even ''[[TimeAbyss Galath]]'' doesn't know about.]]
