* BoringButPractical: A move that [[spoiler:Ozen]] will use in "Deep in Abyss", where an incredibly mundane action of just casually tossing you upwards into the air involves the Curse of the Abyss hitting you like a truck and crippling you upon landing.

* ATasteOfPower: While you need to play "Hello Abyss" first, you will need to work your way up to as par as Riko in Level or Skill in "Deep in Abyss" mode. Although Riko's still in Red Whistle level, you're gonna miss her skill at Cliff Launge, Two-hits Attack etc, especially the durability of your weapon. As you rank up, you will gain much more skill and ability above them (save the weapon permanent-durability)

* {{Curse}}: Just like in the manga, the Curse of the Abyss is a danger that must be accounted for. Attempting to ascend too quickly will result in the strains taking effect, with those strains becoming more severe the further down you try to ascend from. These include:

** 5th Layer: All of the above, plus confusion and loss of sensation (indicated by your HUD and character model vanishing for a few moments). That said, the curse never outright kills you.

* HopelessBossFight: Ozen in the Seeker Camp, who will just nonchalantly shrug off blow after blow from Reg without flinching, before slamming him into the floor with a FacepalmOfDoom, doing half of his health bar in damage in the process. Justified in that, like in the manga, [[spoiler:you're not supposed to win]].
* HundredPercentCompletion: There's a lot of requests to do, but you don't need to collect them all or either the relics to get all the achievement.

* GuestStarPartyMember: At some side missions in "Deep in Abyss", your character will meet [[spoiler: either Rico or Reg while they're looking for each other and ask for your help to find them]]. Interestingly, despite you might see [[spoiler: Riko first to find Reg first, but later you will also see Reg but it treats like you've never seen either one of them before]].

* FissionMailed: In the 1st area in the 4th layer, [[spoiler: dying by the fall damage]] for the first time is a thing you must do [[spoiler: so Nanachi will take you to her hideout and unlock the 2nd area]].

* FinalBoss: [[spoiler: Tiare]].
* TrueFinalBoss: [[spoiler: Detchuanga]], although pretty much optional after you defeat the Final Boss.

* ArtificialStupidity: The AI companion (Reg in "Hello Abyss" or other Cave Delvers in "Deep In Abyss") is/are usually way too aggressive for their own good. Even if you are actively sneaking your way past encounters, it's not at all uncommon to see your party member sprinting at full tilt at a nearby enemy and trying to attack it to death, and they have a ''very'' big aggro range, so them wandering off and taking unnecessary damage can sometimes be unavoidable, even to the points it kills them. They will be recovered later, luckily. Their AI also seems to get stuck on the scenery quite a lot, and struggles to get out on his own, though thankfully moving far enough away from them will teleport them. In Riko's case, using a descend prompt on a tree branch will teleport Reg to where she is.

* ArtificialStupidity: Reg as an AI companion is usually way too aggressive for his own good. Even if you as Riko are actively sneaking your way past encounters, it's not at all uncommon to see Reg sprinting at full tilt at a nearby enemy and trying to punch it to death, and he has a ''very'' big aggro range, so him wandering off and taking unnecessary damage can sometimes be unavoidable. His AI also seems to get stuck on the scenery quite a lot, and struggles to get out on his own, though thankfully moving far enough away from him or using a descend prompt on a tree branch will teleport him to where Riko is.

* SavePoint: The conventional save points are actually quite rare to come across, with the main method of saving in this game being mail balloons, which can be used almost anywhere as long as it doesn't have a physical ceiling. The game is also quite generous about providing you with balloon scraps to craft new ones with, so it's not exactly a stressing point to conserve them, since they also happen to be quite heavy.

* OptionalBoss: [[spoiler: Ozen, the Unmoveable Sovereign]] in Deep in The Abyss Mode. Winning the battle nets you [[spoiler: her hat with the highest defense minus flashlight, her White Whistle's replica, and a Thousand-Men relic]]. Also look True Final Boss above.

* CriticalEncumbranceFailure: Riko's backpack has a starting weight limit of just 10 kilograms. While she can carry well above this limit, having your encumbrance in the red will slow her down to a crawl and completely prevent her from attacking (or indeed interacting with anything) at all.
