History YMMV / TitanQuest

*** In the same bonus area is Nate. [[OneHitKill A single punch from him is enough to murder you]]. He also has boss' high resistances on top of his undead resistance. The only safe way to kill him is using range attacks with enough distance to provoke him. It can be very boring [[DamageSpongeBoss to wade down his health by small increments for 30-45 minutes]].

* ItsShortSoItSucks: A common criticism of the ''Atlantis'' expansion is that it's nothing but a collection of sidequests that could finished in just one afternoon.

* MostAnnoyingSound: The "Your inventory is full." and "You can't carry anymore." lines you get when your pack is full. It will get annoying and tiresome very quickly.

* FridgeLogic: Most of the storyline revolves around chasing a Telkine (and later two more) everywhere. The Telkines' real objective is discovered late in the game, when you're told that [[spoiler:they were looking for the sickle of Kronos, which they would use to free Typhon from his prison in Wusao mountain]]. Of course, [[spoiler:you are the only one that can stop them]]. The Telkines could have easily found and killed you early on, while your character was weak, and then simply gone on to fulfill their objective.
** Of course, when your character was weak, your character was really, really weak. Armed-with-a-knife weak. Has-trouble-with-shamans weak. Would you bother taking that puny human out, even if you did feel they were worth bothering with?
** The Order of Prometheus sends the hero to Crete to stop the Telkine from destroying the Conduit. The hero is forced to fight their way to Knossos and through the labyrinth, costing precious time that allows the Telkine to reach and destroy the Conduit. Afterward we learn there is a secret passage from a river dock that leads directly to the Conduit. If protecting the Conduit was so important, why not send the hero to that dock instead of the long way?

* {{Misblamed}}: The original CD release of the game [[CopyProtection will crash during an early quest if it's a bootleg copy of the game]]. [[{{Troll}} Angry pirates trolled]] ''Iron Lore''[='=]s forums, falsely accusing the company of releasing a buggy game. This made a lot of bad press that hurt the game's sales.

** The destruction of automata on Crete is also enjoyable as they break apart at their joints. It's possible to sever the torso from the legs, which will stand upright temporarily before flopping over to the side.

** Swarms of bugs. They come in swarms, fly very fast and are very hard to spot until you get stung. They are harder to spot during nighttime.

** Bees and wasps. They come in swarms, fly very fast and are very hard to spot until you get stung. They are harder to spot during nighttime.

** Bees and wasps. They come in swarms, fly very fast and are very hard to spot until you get stung. They are even worse if it's nighttime.

** "Avatar of Thanatos" requires the player beat 500,000 monsters (previously ''1,000,000'). Even with an idle setup, this will likely be one of the last achievements a player will get.

** "Sisyphus go home!" requires the player reach level 80 (previously level 75). The amount of experience to increase from level to level [[https://titanquest.fandom.com/wiki/XP_Chart is exponential]]. The amount of experience required for levels 1-75 is the same experience required for levels 75 to 80. You'll be grinding for levels for a ''long'' time.

*** Cerberus may just be one of the hardest bosses in videogame history. Hits ridiculously hard, will instagib you if you stand on the cracks in the floor at the wrong time (These cracks happen to cover 85% of the boss room) and has a poison "grenade" that will kill you faster than you can say healing potion (plus its hard to dodge since you can´t move onto the cracks for more than a few seconds).

*** BonusBoss Kallixenia the Liche Queen: Tons of Health Points, fast as greased lightning and constantly spams you with venomous, life-draining attacks alternated to powerful, hard-to-avoid meteors from nowhere.
