Warning: Spoilers are unmarked on these pages. You Have Been Warned.
The game's about a man who ventures into hell to make a harem of demon girls, even at the cost of his own life. It was never going to take itself seriously in the first place.
- Helltaker's cheesy pickup line options. They either get him killed or the girls join his harem completely misinterpreting his meaning.
- Right when they first meet, Modeus demands sex ("You and me. Now."). Taker accepting it results in her pulling out a sledgehammer under the belief that he's lying.
- Modeus' "advice" for level 3.Modeus: Easy. Skip all the puzzles, gather all the bitches and let's engage in proper harem activities.
- Funny enough, that is something you can actually just do. Except the last part.
- Level 3's bad ending results in Cerberus ripping Taker limb from limb like rabid dogs to cross hell's gate. The mauling itself isn't what killed him. Their cute canine sounds gave him a heart attack.
- How Malina joins.Helltaker: I'd sure love to play with you.
Malina: Like what... video games? Sure, why not. As long as you're okay with turn-based strategies. - Level 5: Zdrada the Bitch Demon. And Malina's not happy about it.Cerberus: This place smells stinks of smoke. Zdrada must close by.
Malina: Oh no... please no...- As it turns out, Zdrada already heard about Taker's harem and wants in. He actually has a bad feeling about it, but she joins anyway.
Zdrada: Too bad, I'm coming anyway.- If he tells her that it's not a harem anymore and they play turn-based strategies, she sticks a knife in his ribs to "put him out of his misery."
- Zdrada's advice for level 6. Or lack thereof.Zdrada: Don't look at me. I'm not a nerd. Maybe go kill yourself on some spikes it'll be amusing.
Malina: My sister's always like that. I can't believe you invited her...
Zdrada: Yeah. What were you thinking, man?- She then reveals that Malina gets turned on from playing video games. Her recounting of an example of that is interrupted when Malina asks Taker to immediately kill either one of them. Either Pandemonica stops him from killing them both, or he takes Zdrada's advice and jumps on a spike.
Title Screen: You had enough. - Level 7. If you tell Azazel you're looking for Angels instead of demons, she'll take you to heaven to find some. You don't get horribly maimed this time, but you fail your whole quest.Title Screen: Who would've guessed that lying will get you into heaven. Say goodbye to your demon harem though.
- After Azazel gives you her advice for level 8, she listens to Modeus' "considerably warped view on love."Modeus: Thing can get violent, so moderation is important. People die if you love them too much.
Azazel: How fascinating. Please expand on that. I want to know all the details. - Justice joins your harem no matter what line you pick. Admit you skipped the puzzle after she compliments you? It's something she would have done.
- In level 8, the puzzle consists of an overly long line of skeletons waiting for their meetings with Lucifer. How do you solve the puzzle? Cutting in line and pushing the first skeleton out of the way!
- Then there's the reason why Lucifer joins Helltaker.
Helltaker: I can offer coffee, turn-based strategies and chocolate pancakes.
Lucifer: Really? Is that it? You come here, and try to buy me over with pancakes? ...You're lucky I have a thing for pancakes. - As you convince the Final Boss to join your harem, the "Success!" line is instead changed to "Glorious Success!" with starry-eyed demons dancing in the corners.
- Better yet: it's the Party Parrot meme.
- The "Glorious Success!" and dancing skeletons make a surprise return in the secret ending.
