* NintendoHard: Depending on how long you take, you'll be facing literally hundreds of monsters, each tougher than the last.

Added DiffLines:

* ModularDifficulty:
** Hidden throughout the game are secrets you can find to unlock "Artifacts." Artifacts drastically change the way the game is played, from positive benefits like allowing you to choose your items, to negatives like lethal fall damage, and the in-between like quintupling your damage at the cost of 90% max health. These artifacts return in ''VideoGame/RiskOfRain2''.
** The remake has various changes to the gameplay of the original that can be toggled such as the new items, stage variants, and whether or not you need to kill every single enemy before going to the next stage. It allows you alter the "intensity," letting you increase and/or decrease the damage you do and/or take.

** A special version of Elder Lemurian spawns in one of Magma Core variants, called [[Direseeker]]. It has a unique reddish tint, has more health and power and needs to be found to be fought, [[spoiler: specifically by travelling through a lava corridor on bottom right. ]] And it's not for nothing either: killing it [[spoiler: unlocks Miner whose capsule it is guarding and drops an item every time. ]]

** In ''Returns'' , a unique variant of a Golem called [[spoiler: Cognation Golem]]. It is summoned by [[spoiler hitting two buttons in a specific spot]], has more health and damage than a normal Golem and has it's own healthbar as if it was a boss. Killing it [[spoiler: drops a Cognation Artifact]].

**A unique Boarlit enemy is spawned in hordes as part of Toxic Beast's attacks and serves as a weak swarmer. It can also be encountered independently in [[spoiler:Boar Beach]].
**Lynx Tribe enemies from ''Returns'' are only encountered during the fight with Lynx Totem. They can be encountered independently during multiple Providence Trials.
***At the same location, a unique [[spoiler: Armored Boarlit]] has a guarantee to appear. It has improved stats and drops a unique item that improves the player's armor.
**Archaic Wisp is a purple version of Greater Wisp that replaces it after stage 4. It's attack is even longer-range and deals double damage. For some reason, he does not have a log data.
**Unique variant of Temple Guard called Sanctuary Guard spawns during [[spoiler: the third phase of Providence fight]]. It is tougher, has different colour scheme and shoots three shots at once instead of two.

** In the remake players can choose to increase or decrese their damage delt and taken. This doesn't affect achievements, and while it can be a SelfImposedChallenge it can also be used to reduce the difficulty without locking you out of anything.

* DoNotRunWithAGun: Played straight with most survivors in the first game and downplayed in the second, as survivors can fire while moving but not while sprinting. The exception in both cases is the Huntress.

* GuideDangIt: In Returns, [[spoiler:you might notice that there are 20 slots on the character select, but only 19 playable characters. Fortunately for your OCD, that slot can be filled by through an extremely convoluted method.]] [[spoiler:First, start up a run in Drizzle mode and get to Stage 5. On one of the far sides of the stage you can find a pot containing an equipment called the Strange Battery. On stage 6, travel to the outside of the stage and find a cavern with dancing golems. To the right of the golems you can place the battery in the Rift Chest. On your next run, which must be on Rainstorm or Monsoon, you must find the rift chest again, which will be somewhere on Stage 2. Continue onto Stage 3, but don't leave the stage until the timer says exactly 22:00. On Stage 4, you can find a tiny robot in a room underground. Give it the battery and let it kill you and you will unlock Robomando, the secret survivor and objective best character in the game.]]

** While the quip is still present, this is no longer the case in ''Returns;'' the Huntress is unlocked from the start, and enemies drop monster logs regardless of difficulty.
