* ShoutOut: The title of the episode is named after the famous troll song The Hall Of The Mountain King which, despite being used in comedy, actually is meant to evoke fear and paranoia. Much like how this episode ends up doing.

* DeadlyUpgrade: Claire considers using the Skathe-Hrün to evacuate all of Trollmarket at once, but Blinky points out that it is an object of dark magic. [[Recap/TrollhuntersS2E2Skullcrusher Just like how using it multiple times risks tiring her out]], using it on a massive scale could risk death.

* ExactWords: Jim manages to survive and escape The Deep. When others insist that no troll has ever survived the deep, Jim just remarks that he's no troll.
* FrameUp: Vendal's death is blamed on Jim.
* IComeInPeace: Steve and Eli to the trolls.
* IronicEcho: The way Blinky has Dictatious strung up is similar to how he had Blinky strung up back in the Darklands.
* JoinOrDie: Those who do not bow before Gunmar will either die or will be forcefully converted with his enchanted sword.
* PassingTheTorch: Vendal's walking staff is given to Blinky by the end of the episode, christening him Trollmarket's troll's leader during their exile.
* TheBusCameBack: Nomura has returned and has brought Strickler back with her to help in their fight against Gunmar.
* ThePowerOfFriendship: Claire was able to open a portal large enough for the rest of the trolls when the rest of the trollhunter team grabbed onto the Skathe-Hrün to help ease the strain.
* ThisIsYourBrainOnEvil: It is implied that Claire has [[TheCorruption become]] an unwitting ManchurianAgent to Argante after using the Skathe-Hrün past her usual limitations.
* UncomfortableElevatorMoment: The elevator to the Janus Order's hideout is fairly quiet and uneventful, with calming elevator music playing (though Aaarrrgghh!!! does [[ToiletHumor cut one]]).
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: When the gang go to the Janus Order's hideout, they find the whole place in ruins, everybody dead except for a mind-controlled Otto pretending to be Gunmar himself to act as a decoy.
