* FromBadToWorse: The Ford of Abez scenario starts with the party having to cross a long submerged ford (which leaves most of their units vulnerable) while having to deal with both Li'sar's pursuing units from below and orcish elite troops from the north. Furthermore, after a few turns, a Sea Serpent and some giant squids will appear and go towards the ford, making the situation even worse (though if you're lucky they may attack your enemies instead).

* TakingAThirdOption: The branching point scenario after obtaining the Scepter has you choose between going north of the river, fighting orcs to reach a snowfield where an enchanted fire sword can be found, or going south through an undead-infested swamp, which nets you an enchanted armor. However, what the game doesn't tell you is that you can finish the scenario sooner by hiring Merfolks and send them down the river, allowing you to access the "Cliffs of Thoria" level and fight Drakes.

!! This campaign provides examples of:
* TheCavalry: If the turns runs out before you defeat the orcish leader in "Blackwater Port", a literal cavalry appears to scare the orcs into retreating, so you still win though without the bonus you would get if you defeat him.
* DeusExitMachina: After spending the early scenarios as a CrutchCharacter, Delfador goes to take care of other business so that Konrad (and the player) would have to retake Elensefar on his own.
* FlamingSword: "Snow Plains" has a flaming sword laying around which can be picked up by any sword-using units.
* GoodPrincessEvilQueen: The villain is Queen Asheviere, who has been turning Wesnoth into a wasteland. By contrast, the party has Princess Li'sar, who joins following a HeelFaceTurn and eventually marries the hero Konrad and becomes a good queen.
* GuysSmashGirlsShoot: Inverted by the heroes: The only female main character is a hard-hitting melee specialist who doesn't even have a ranged attack unless you give her a certain artefact, while two of the male heroes have a mix of melee and ranged capability and the third is a Squishy Wizard.
* PermanentlyMissableContent: You can miss out on two types of recruitable units if you're not careful:
** If your enemies kill the Mother Gryphon in "Gryphon Mountain" before you do, you can't get Gryphon Riders.
** Letting your ally die in "The Lost General" means you don't get access to Dwarvish Guardsmen.
* SwordOfPlotAdvancement: After liberating Elensefar (the climax of the first third of the campaign), the Scepter of Fire is established as a weapon needed by Konrad to establish his legitimacy as a king. He or Lisar then gets it around the end of the second third, and the scepter proves to be a powerful weapon even in-game.
* UnreliableNarrator: It's ultimately revealed that the opening narration isn't entirely true; notably, the fact that Konrad isn't the actual prince is kept hidden from the player.
* YouShallNotPass: In the first scenario, the elves of Aethenwood decide to hold the orcish armies surrounding the forest while Konrad and Delfador escapes.
