* DiscOneFinalBoss: The Great Tree. Slaying it and claiming its heart is Guts' goal in the first half of the game, but things quickly spiral out of control once the deed is done.

* InconsistentDub: Despite the game being called "Guts' rage" and Guts being the official pronunciation, the game calls him "Gattsu" (his old fansub name) 95% of the time. The "world of Berserk" section has several inconsistencies as well, calling Zodd Zoddo, Behelits Beherites and Apostles Disciples.

* ShoutOut: When the mandragora flower is pulled out of the ground, it's screaming face resembles the main figure in the Creator/EdvardMunch painting ''Main/TheScream''. Notably, it's not a comedic parody but dead serious.

* AllThereInTheManual: If not familiar with Berserk, without reading the "World of Berserk" information in the menu, one would be lost to many things (what a Behelit does, who the Skull Knight is, why the Brand reacts to demons, etc)

* AmazingTechnicolorBattlefield: [[spoiler:The FinalBoss is fought within the always hellishly surreal realm that appears whenever the God Hand are summoned by a Behelit. It appears to be set inside a giant spherical structure made up of constantly spinning bands, all of which are covered in blinking ''eyes''. There's also no visible floor.]]


Added DiffLines:

* OutsideContextProblem: In the scope of the game, that would be Zodd, who is in no way involved with the Mandragora threat plaguing the city. He appears abruptly towards the midpoint seeking recruits for Griffith's apostle army before deciding to just fight Guts [[BloodKnight for fun]], and then taking off once he's had his fill to continue doing his master's bidding elsewhere.

* CompletelyDifferentTitle: In translating the game from Japanese to English, Creator/EidosInteractive decided to change the title from ''Berserk Millennium Falcon Arc: Chapter of the Flowers of Oblivion'' to ''Sword of the Berserk: Guts' Rage'' because ''Berserk'' was practically unknown in the English-speaking world back in 2000, and nobody would get the reference to the story arcs in the manga.

Added DiffLines:

* CastFromHitPoints: Guts can perform a powerful spin attack at the cost of some health. He also has a slower version that doesn't drain health, but is a ChargedAttack.

Added DiffLines:

* SuperMode: Inflicting or receiving damage fills the Berserk bar. When it's full, Guts automatically enters Berserk Mode, where he's stronger, faster, invulnerable, resistant to flinching, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking his sword clips through walls, allowing him to freely use it in tight spaces]].

In this storyline, [[AntiHero Guts]], [[TheOphelia Casca]], and [[FairyCompanion Puck]] come across a travelling performer by the name of Rita and rescue her theater troupe from some bandits. Upon stopping in a nearby castle town to rest, they discover that the town is afflicted with a [[TheVirus strange disease]] that turns the victims into plant-like creatures called "Mandragorans" that become violent when attacked. The lord who rules city, Balzac, tells Guts about the disease and how he is developing a cure for it, which may also cure Casca of her insanity. He gives Guts a proposal: bring him the heart of the great tree that grows in the infested village, and he will give Casca the cure. Taking the chance that his beloved might be well again, Guts takes Balzac's offer and begins the dangerous quest. Things grow more complicated when the townspeople begin revolting against Balzac's rule, and the chaos attracts the attention of the demonic Apostle Nosferatu Zodd. What waits for Guts in the village, and what is Balzac hiding from him?
