* NiceJobBreakingItHero: The entire tragedy that takes place after Isabel is beaten and captured basically circles back to being Amalie's fault. [[spoiler: She initially plans to report the capture of the weakened Isabel to her superiors, but Chelka convinces her to allow her to keep Isabel prisoner for some experiments, with the aim of it being to use her research to give herself a new body. Wanting to have Milm back, Amalie allows this and pretends to know nothing about Isabel's disappearance. However, not only does Chelka torture Isabel, she reveals that she never planned on leaving Milm's body at all. This leads to a series of events that has Chelka removing Isabel's eye at the WR headquarters, causing her to transform into Venefica and go on a rampage. Not only is Milm endangered here once Venefica Isabel kidnaps her, but the poisons emitted from her new body cause numerous deaths as she makes her escape.]] Things only get ''worse'' for Amalie from here on out.

* CurbStompBattle: Despite having much more experience and having easily defeated all those who faced her, Isabel is devastated when she get stomped by a mere manania like the Hundred Knight. She later gets stomped even harder by Chelka, who doesn't even break a sweat against Isabel.

** While the steps to devour an enemy are a little more complicated this time around[[note]]the Hundred Knight only gets the option to when he lands the fifth hit of the weapon combo and the devour attack must be capable of killing the enemy or else it will fail[[/note]], doing so no longer fills the stomach with garbage, preventing the Hundred Knight from losing precious stomach space.

The world of Kevala has been ravaged by a terrible disease known as the Witch Disease. Whenever women contact this disease, they gain a third eye on their forehead, immense magical abilities, and a lack of morality, using their powers to terrorize the countryside. When a young girl named Amalie finds out her sister Milm has the disease, she tries to join the anti-witch organization Weiss Ritter to find a cure. However, when Milm undergoes surgery to remove her third eye, her witch powers awaken, transforming her into the witch Chelka, who brings to life Milm's favorite Hundred Knight doll and vows to become the most powerful witch in the world. Now Amalie must find a way to rise in the ranks to find a cure for Milm while keeping Chelka out of trouble.

** Each Facet now has it's own set of passive bonuses and special attacks that make use of the AP bar. This allows the AP bar to be used for more than just powerful versions of the standard attack and Witch Time and allows each Facet to be more unique.

* ButtMonkey: Amalie has some truly bad luck. Her sister is infected by the Witch Disease, turning her into the very unruly Chelka who makes life as hard as possible for her, and is not very respected within Weiss Ritter except by Gabrielle. A later reputation boost [[spoiler:upon claiming to be the one to defeat Isabel]], actually makes things worse as she ends up thrown into far more dangerous situations than she can handle, only being able to manage thanks to the Hundred Knight's aid.

* CorruptChurch: To be fair, the facts that Hexensyndrome causes a simultaneous eruption of insanity and magical power, and two witches are currently running around killing and/or brainwashing everyone they can get their hands on, means that the church has passed the GodzillaThreshold and will resort to slaughtering little girls with Hexensyndrome and making monsters just to keep up against demon-class entities, and make little effort in hiding these cruel practices. However, it quickly veers off into true corruption when Theodore gloats that [[spoiler:he can't bring himself to care for mass-produced copies of an entire civilization that are reliving their last 333 years before everything explodes. In fact, nothing matters to him anymore because nothing he does will prevent the world from exploding and then resetting every 333 years. Even their souls don't matter to him because his tests have proven that attempting to preserve someone in the 'save slot' will just create yet another clone of the same person without damaging the 'original'. Therefore, he plans on usurping God to create a WorldOfSilence, effectively halting everything ever.]]

* EyesDoNotBelongThere: Those infected with the Witch Disease possessive a large third eye on their forehead. Once that eye opens, the infected transform into a witch.

* NonLinearSequel: The game takes place in a completely different setting than the first game with none of the characters from the previous game returning except for a new Hundred Knight, who is an possessed doll instead of a bird-creature summoned into the world.

* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: Unfortunately, witches in this series are not misunderstood or persecuted; the overload of mana causes freshly awakened witches to go homicidally insane. Chelka in particular is relatively well-adjusted for an awakened witch, but she has split-personality disorder and blew up two hospitals. [[spoiler:Even worse is their Venefica form; when an awakened witch's eye is damaged, they mutate into a feral monster with even more magical power that could destroy the world]].

* ShownTheirWork: The overreaching plot features surprisingly detailed insight into a miniaturized version of the Hinduism gods and cycle of reincarnation, potential flaws and consequences when you add supernatural magic and witches into the mix, and an antithesis of how a Christian would react to learning they live in a Hinduist world.

* UndyingLoyalty: While the Hundred Knight was animated by Chelka and will follow her orders, he's ultimately loyal to Amalie and is willing to turn against Chelka if Amalie is in danger.

* GeniusLoci: [[spoiler:The entire planet]] is possessed by a clingy witch who will kill anyone that wants to leave.

The player once again takes control of the Hundred Knight. The game is played from a top-down perspective and battles are fought in [[ActionRPG hack-and-slash style]] with some {{Roguelike}} elements mixed in. However, several changes have been made to the formula. The original game's stages have been replaced with a labyrinth-like overworld that players can explore at their leisure. As players progress through the game, different paths open up for those willing to explore. Many aspects of the original game, such as the Facets, have also been reworked and balanced.

** The map is no longer covered in the purple fog that quickly drained the Hundred Knight's stamina, making stamina management much more manageable.
