However, subsequent updates added higher-level PUB bosses, against whom the Super MV is very valuable.

* CombinationAttack:
** Choosing Pair instead of Solo in battle allows both characters to perform the same action, usually for spectacular results. This means both characters will be hit by any attacks aimed their way, but it also means that they share any damage blocking or reflecting abilities.
** SummonMagic is a combination of this and LimitBreak. Darwin can only summon an Ophan if the BreakMeter is built up to 1 unit and he selects Pair attacks.

* DeathOrGloryAttack: Sacrifice, provided by Gigas Sopia, uses up the entire remaining HP of the user(s) (minus 1 each) to deal massive damage to an enemy. Naturally, it's best used when either you're confident it will finish off the enemy, the player characters have Regenerate active (allowing them to come back to life if the enemy survives and retaliates) or the enemy is prevented from acting by Divine Punishment.



* {{Happily Ever After}}: [[spoiler:After Piu-Piu is defeated and allowed to regain his memories, he rewards the characters by showing his true power and destroying the Hall and Amon in one blast. This leads to the eight of them (Lessica included) safely landing on the surface of the earth. Though, it might be {{Bittersweet Ending}} somewhat, just because Piu-Piu mourns Jodie, Meg, and Catherine's burning up in space, and it ends with Darwin and the boys failing to create new cut-outs and Marie and the girls substituting for Piu-Piu's harem.]]



* JokeEnding: Defeating Piu-Piu as part of the Yours Truly Returns P.U.B. request leads to an ending which doesn't take itself seriously.

* MythologyGag: In the library, there are records of past Rites of Resealing. The Nominator and one of the Candidates in the 8th Rite were named Escher and Eluca, though these are most likely different people who happened to share the same name with two of the protagonists of the first game.

Advents, which must be done in pair mode, consume the whole Charge Gauge when used, and get stronger the more bars they consume (with the exception of Lessica's Advent, Divine Punishment, which requires all three bars of the Charge Gauge to be filled).

** One of the Piu Collection items in ''Omega'' Extra Mode is a Papier-Mâché No. 3, whose description has Piu-Piu wondering whether it should be named Emma or Meg. Come the third game, Piu-Piu has had a third papier-mâché woman, named Meg, to join Catherine and Jodie, the two he already had in the first two games.

Notably, these are the only enemies in the game capable of using Pair Attacks.



* LegacyBossBattle:
** Like the Atman bosses from the first game, the Shadow bosses are fought in pairs, resemble red-eyed shadows of player characters, can use Pair Attacks, and have access to some otherwise player-exclusive skills (in this case, Limit Breaks). The only difference is the individual characters on whom they're based.
** The final pair of 'Shadows' instead resemble [=NPCs=] Garrick and Alto; despite their appearance, their dialogue makes it clear that they're the same pair that fought four times against the player characters in Extra Mode of ''Omega''.
** Libido, the physical manifestation of Piu-Piu's perversion, is a SuperBoss like it was in the first game. Notably, it is one of the only four enemies (alongside the Billikens) and the only boss in ''Chaos Rings II'' whose design has remained almost unchanged from the first two games.



* MetalSlime: Billikens give disproportionately high experience and monetary rewards, if you manage to kill them before they run away from the battle. Coal Billikens are especially nasty, and can even kill an underleveled party.

** In the initial release, the Super MV--the best accessory in the game, which gives great boosts to ''all'' stats. The catch? It's the reward for defeating the last (and toughest) boss in the game.

These new marks each drop a party member's InfinityPlusOneSword [[InfinityPlusOneSword and Armor]], which are then useful against the strongest (and new final) P.U.B. boss, as well as a strengthened form of the TrueFinalBoss.

* DistantSequel: The All-Seeing Eye library heavily implies the Ark Arena tournaments did happen in the game's distant past (and [[spoiler:served as Amon's inspiration for the Rite of Resealing]]), though seeing how 1685 Rites have been performed in total between intervals of centuries, the third game must take place hundreds of thousands of years after the first.

''Chaos Rings II'' abandons the Ark Arena storyline of the first two games, and instead focuses on a character named Darwin, who is chosen to be the Nominator, and given the task of sacrificing four Candidates in order to prevent the destruction of the world. This game adds new elements to the battle and exploration systems, and allows players to choose their own paths in the story, affecting the plot, with an awful [[spoiler: LightIsNotGood twist that turns the story upside down.]]

** In the library one of the records where the pillars were all world leaders indicates they faced their fate willingly.


Added DiffLines:

* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: In the library one of the logs is from a rite where the pillars were [[AssholeVictim a bunch of slave owners]] and the Nominator was one of their slaves. The log suggests he was quite eager.
