* TheCameo: [[VideoGame/QuestForGlory The hero]] in his ''VideoGame/QuestForGloryII'' costume, a reference to AGD's VGA remake of said game (replacing the original version's hidden commercial for ''VideoGame/SpaceQuest''), which the narrator takes his time to plug.

* DiscontinuityNod: Towards ''Mask of Eternity's'' ContestedSequel status. [[spoiler:The final Air Gem test takes place after the events of ''Mask of Eternity'', with Graham and Connor making their way to the castle to honor Connor for saving Daventry. You then have to make a decision to either appoint Connor as next-in-line for the throne or send him back to his village. Choosing either will give you the same amount of points.]]

* WhatTheHellPlayer: The narrator sometimes chews you out mildly for attempting to do certain things (like [[ADateWithRosiePalms touching yourself]]), but he gets especially mad when you try to use the sword on Valanice.

* {{Curse}}: The ending of this remake. Also a ShoutOut to later games.

* AsianStoreOwner: There's a merchant in town who seems to be this, but [[OohMeAccentsSlipping his tendency to slip into a cockney accent gives him away]]...

* {{Foreshadowing}}: [[spoiler:Manannan's letter to Hagatha, which Graham tosses away after reading. Also the "Item" the Father is looking for and mentioned several times, which appears in the AGD remake of the sequel.]]

* IllNeverTellYouWhatImTellingYou: When Graham tries to ask about the other members of the town library, [[ScaryLibrarian the librarian]] refuses and says that neither the King of Kolyma nor the old man next door would approve of her divulging their identities.

** In this version, attempting to talk to your seahorse in the underwater segment will cause the narrator to quip "[[Series/MisterEd You'd never speak to a horse, of course]]".

* TheCameo: [[VideoGame/QuestForGlory The hero]] in his ''VideoGame/QuestForGloryII'' costume, a reference to AGD's VGA remake of said game, which the narrator takes his time to plug.

** The dwarf. The original game has him merely mug you and steal a treasure (which you can steal back). In this version, he is '''EVIL EVIL EVIL EVIL''' and will murder Graham any chance he gets. Especially if Graham gets caught in one of his nefarious traps.

* BenevolentMageRuler / VampireMonarch: Caldaur is the rightful ruler of Kolyma, and he's definitely a vampire. His wife suspected he was practicing magic, but never knew for sure. The magic part? [[spoiler: He was indeed a member of the Black Cloak society, though nothing points to him being evil like most of its members. He formally breaks his association with it by assisting Graham, which pisses The Father off.]] As far as his being a vampire [[spoiler: It had nothing to do with his magic or anything evil on his part.]] Caldur was turned into a vampire by [[spoiler: his political enemies, the priests who opposed his reforms. The priests made a pact with forest spirits and became the werewolves.]] At the end, he asks the people of Kolyma if they accept him back, even in his undead state, and the people welcome him back.

* DepravedDwarf: That EVIL dwarf, who will murder Graham with a well-thrown dagger if he ever finds him, for the sake of "target practice".

* TheFinalTemptation: The second Air Gem test.

* FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire: [[spoiler:Caldaur, Lavidia, and Anastasia.]]

* OhCrap: The Sorcerer's reaction if you happen to have in possession the magical emerald which protects you from magic. Mostly because you're pointing a sword at his throat.

* PunctuatedForEmphasis: Graham gives one of these to the nameless evil enchanter.

* RhymesOnADime: Frequently.

* BalefulPolymorph:
** Towards the end of the game, [[spoiler:the lion at the tower door turns out to be Hagatha's ex-boyfriend. You also pull this on Hagatha herself by stuffing fur into the youth potion]].
** If you're caught by the unnamed sorcerer in the forest he'll turn you into a beast.
** Once you have Neptune's trident, you can turn the Sharkees into small harmless fish.

* BlamedForBeingRailroaded: There's an instance of Graham telling an NPC he doesn't have any money, them asking back who sets out on a long journey with no money or supplies, and the narrator saying they have a good point. This remake goes along with the original version's scheme of refering to the player's character as "you" instead of as "Graham", making it come off as if it was something the player should've thought of when they almost definitely would've. [[note]]The next game in the series was when it started having in-story reasons for the player not to have any stuff at the beginning of a game, and having to pick up their inventory over the course of the adventure. So this was addressed by the games, just...not quite yet.[[/note]]

* BewareTheNiceOnes: You know that sweet old lady who runs the antique store? [[spoiler:In the remake, she's a secret magic user, willing to [[KickTheDog sacrifice a sweet little bird]] so she can be young again. Fortunately, [[EvilVersusEvil Hagatha kills her]].]]

* CrossMeltingAura: In the original game, the cross works just fine on Dracula. But if you try it on Caldaur in the remake, he'll ''kiss it'' and say "God bless Kolyma". (This may have a little something to do with the fact that [[spoiler:the monk you got it from is evil now... Or a hint that the Count isn’t as evil as he seems.]])
* {{Curse}}: The ending of the remake. Also a ShoutOut to later games.

* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: Being devoured by a shark-man, poisoned by swamp-water, boiled alive by a witch, mauled by wolves, dragged underground by an angry zombie… the remake is plenty of these.

* NonStandardGameOver: The AGI remake gives Graham a bunch of other places he can use the door to go besides the island where he rescues Valanice. They're all obviously the wrong thing to do, and are pretty much included just to let players deliberately experience these.

* RedRidingHoodReplica: While the original game uses the actual Little Red Riding Hood, the Fan Remake replaces her with a girl named Possum. She still wears a red cloak and still has to deliver soup to her grandmother, only now the grandmother is dying and [[spoiler:they both get turned into vampires]].

*** The remake even gives a TitleDrop, although Graham is LateToThePunchline.

** In the remake, attempting to talk to your seahorse in the underwater segment will cause the narrator to quip "[[Series/MisterEd You'd never speak to a horse, of course]]".

* {{Threatening Shark}}s: The Sharkees in the remake. Subverted with the regular sharks you can stumble into, who ignore you.
* TitleDrop: In the remake, Graham explain the goal of his quest. [[spoiler:Lavidia then utters "Romancing the Stones". She and the Count chuckle about it, while Graham is confused and didn't get the joke.]]
