** {{Greed}}: Ethan aids the pair of soldiers he met earlier in their fight against a Lich born from a corrupt priest who hoarded wealth. [[spoiler:After the Lich is slain, one of the soldiers becomes consumed by his own greed when he casts aside his honor for personal gain, leading to him and his friend killing each other.]]

* BrokenAesop: As WebVideo/MothersBasement [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Li8VzonDmdc points out]], the aesop in "Greed" is that... greed is bad. Kinda obvious, but good enough. In the episode, Ethan suggests that the knights take some coins from the pile of treasure they just liberated as payment, since the guy who hired them won't pay. The series implies that Ethan was being corrupted by the cursed treasure, and one of the knights call him out on his suggestion being dishonorable. Except that, [[HonorBeforeReason dishonorable though it may be]], Ethan's suggestion is perfectly reasonable. The knights had done a job and weren't being paid for it, they were in their full right to take some coins as payment for services rendered. Ethan is still shown to be in the wrong.

* DeathBySex: Naturally, this is the fate of those that fall victim to the succubus. Ethan manages to reverse this on the creature when he sees through her illusion and kills her with his bare hands during the act.

* HornyDevils: The focus of the "Lust" episode is a succubus who's been feeding off of men as they stay at an inn.

* DarkFantasy: Way darker than the game it was based off of, with the tragic event of the first episode and its fantasy tones are more deconstucted.

** [[LazyBum Sloth]]: Ethan arrives at a village where the townsfolk cultivate [[FantasticDrug a moss that is burned and smoked, causing euphoria and stupor. [[spoiler:One man's wife is nearly killed when she is eaten by a Hydra while he is high. For a mercy, she survived, but is rendered blind.]]

** [[VillainousGluttony Gluttony]]: Ethan and Hannah save a girl left to the mercy of a hungry Cyclops. [[spoiler:The Cyclops is actually a pet of the nearby town's mayor and his goons, who use it to extort food from the townspeople. After the Cyclops is slain, the town falls to ruin as the citizens revolt and try to take as much food as they can.]]
** [[GreenEyedDevil Envy]]: Ethan aids a pair of soldiers escorting a woman whose husband feels unloved by her due to his cowardice. [[spoiler:His envy eventually drives him to murder her, and [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone when he realizes what he had done]], [[DrivenToSuicide kill himself]].]]
