Ability Required to Proceed	comment	One way to control the plot of a video game is to place barriers in the hero's path. A destination may be unreachable without access to water transport because the main character has Super Drowning Skills. You may need to become immune to fire before moving on because the next level is set in a Fire and Brimstone Hell environment. Perhaps you need to enlist the help of a specific NPC, or acquire a specific item, in order to get past the annoying guard. Or you may need to perform some special ability while standing on a pad or marked floor. Sometimes, the item, ability, or skill isn't needed again. But, in other cases, it becomes a key part of the main character's inventory, and gets used all the time. Another example: you can't get to the other island without a ship, so any plot event that happens on the other island can assume you have a ship. Thus, the game developers suddenly start throwing quests at you that require you to hop back and forth between islands like a bored tourist, and continue to do so for the rest of the game. In extreme cases, the entire game dynamic may change after you obtain this one critical item or ability, because you are now well-equipped/powerful enough to handle challenges that would have been insurmountable before. This is a subtrope of Broken Bridge. While Broken Bridges railroad you to the plot by requiring that you complete certain tasks before new areas open up, this trope is about railroading you to the plot by requiring that you have the necessary skills and abilities to move forward and open up new areas. This trope is a staple of the Metroidvania genre of video games, though it shows up in other genres as well. See also But Thou Must!. For something that requires you to be at a certain level to proceed before it kills you, see Beef Gate. When this is combined with an offensive ability it's a Utility Weapon. Examples

The only exception in the latter is the Paraglider, which is needed to get off of said introduction area, as it is surrounded in all directions by a steep drop.

Ability Required to Proceed / int_193287c8	comment	Subnautica accomplishes this by making several areas impossible or at least severely impractical to access without the right equipment. For example most obviously, extensive exploration of deep underwater biomes becomes easier after you craft an air tank, then a bigger tank, then a rebreather and then finally submersibles. Another example is the wreck of the Aurora, which requires a lead-lined diving suit to protect from the radiation leaking from the ship's damaged fusion reactor.

Ability Required to Proceed / int_1ad4fe9a	comment	Might and Magic had, throughout the series, the need to learn a skill to be able to cross water (or, in some games, to cross water without taking damage — not much of a problem with a stream, insurmountable for an island some distance from the coast). In I-V and X, this was specifically waterwalking, and in I-V you also had skills to cross forest and mountain regions. In VI-IX, the different map structure meant that flying worked equally as well as waterwalking (which meant that VIII had four separate abilities that all allowed it, thanks to keeping the spells while also having racial abilities that could be honed) — generally, by the time you needed to cross water chances were you already knew a fitting spell. The straight example would be Perception in VI. There was one plot-critical dungeon which doors could be opened only by someone with Expert Perception - otherwise the doors not only wouldn't open, but also damage you. This could be easily rectified by learning the skill and training it, but unfortunately the skill was pretty useless outside this moment.

Disassembled bridges need to have the Builder used on them so they can be rebuilt. Blocker gates can be destroyed with the Sonic Boomer. Zapplers can shut off the power sources keeping large walls up. The Grappling Hook is used to traverse elevated terrain by either pulling the player to a different terrain level or moving across platforms. Some obstacles are deactivated by using a ranged weapon to shoot a nearby target board. Plants in the Outlands can be repulsed by launching stink bombs at them.

And it's just as well that the wall forces the player to be that tall get the Orb, because otherwise no sane person would enter the Tower of Eternal Flames where the Orb, massive equipment destruction, and rapid immolation for the newbie player resides.

Ultimate: Getting around the map in World of Light requires specific spirits to bypass some roadblocks, such as rocks that need to be blown up or bridges that need repairing. This can get a bit strange when you have five different spirits clearly identifiable as magicians, but not the specific one that can enlarge some mushrooms for you. Fortunately, the game automatically informs you an obstacle can be disabled once you obtain the appropriate spirit. Downplayed with the challenge battles themselves. Certain stage hazards and conditions can be neutralized by the right support spirits to make the fight much easier, which the party screen draws your attention to. For example, a battle in fierce winds with water you drown in almost instantly is much easier if you first get the nearby supports that grant wind resistance and immunity to drowning, but the fight is winnable without them.

Ability Required to Proceed / int_28b2079a	comment	In Going Commando, to get access to Planet Siberius, you need to do a lot. On Oozla, you need to go right for the Tractor Beam, and left for the coordinates to the Maktar Resort. On Maktar Resort, you can go right and use the Tractor Beam to solve some puzzles and get to the Jamming Array, which gives you the coordinates to Barlow, while going left and doing the tournament will give you the Electrolyzer, as well as the coordinates to Endako. On Endako, the right path takes you to Clank's apartment, where you can find the Swingshot and Grind Boots, while the left path, which requires the Electrolyzer, will allow you to rescue Clank. On Barlow, going up the ramp will take you to a section where you need the Swingshot, and continuing that path will allow you to buy the Thermanator, while the cave path ends in a Door to Before next to a gap that you need Clank to jump over. Completing the Hoverbike race that's across the gap will give you the coordinates to the Feltzin System, and completing that will give you the coordinates to Notak. On Notak, going across the bridge and following the path will take you to a room that you need the Thermanator to complete, and it will eventually continue to a chemical factory that you also need the Thermanator to complete. At the end of the factory, you can finally buy the coordinates to Siberius.

Mainly done to ensure people picked up the gun right by the door, since it is a bit dark in there, and it could go unseen. The commentary reveals that the dev team calls this a "gate". And, ironically enough, there's an achievement in the game for grabbing that gun, hitting the padlock with it, and then never using it or any other bullet-shooting gun for the rest of the game — it's called "The One Free Bullet" and literally everything else that happens can be taken care of with controlled application of a crowbar, gravity gun, or explosives.

Ability Required to Proceed / int_5209cf3c	comment	Mario & Luigi: Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga also has some areas that are blocked off or otherwise inaccessible until the brothers have learned some ability. This gets particularly annoying in later game Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, where the Bros are simply remembering moves they knew in previous games but mysteriously forgot. They don't remember the first time you find an appropriate obstacle, oh no; you have to wait until the plot gets to the right point, and then backtrack later. In Toad Town there's a shop which won't sell the Bros gear until their rank (based on experience level) is high enough. Leaving aside the usual question of why you're being charged for equipment when you're on a mission to save the Princess, let's think about that for a second. If Mario and Luigi aren't high enough level to shop here, who the hell in the Mushroom Kingdom is?

The Wall Jump is used a lot in later stages and is granted pretty early on, while the Ground Slam skill is mostly seen use in the caves but still has use as a combat skill. The weight level upgrade is required due to a door that's tied to a pressure switch in the Crystal Mines that requires Munch to have over 450 pounds of fullness, but his base full capacity can only go up to 440 until he fights the Slime King and gets the weight level upgrade from them.

Ability Required to Proceed / int_74f7210c	comment	The Legend of Zelda: As a series hallmark, almost every dungeon in the series from A Link to the Past onward will have puzzles that can't be solved without the item found in their respective dungeon and bosses will probably need you to use that item to beat them. In addition, one dungeon's item may be required to enter the next dungeon (or even sometimes the section of The Overworld it lies in). A Link Between Worlds averts this trope by having all key items in a store waiting to be purchased, while Breath of the Wild averts it by giving you every essential puzzle-solving ability in the introductory area. The only exception in the latter is the Paraglider, which is needed to get off of said introduction area, as it is surrounded in all directions by a steep drop. A common design is to use this trope to hide a Broken Bridge. For example, in Oracle of Ages, the second dungeon gives Link Roc's Feather, which gives him the ability to jump. To get to the third dungeon, he is required to have an NPC build him a raft to access the island the dungeon is on. There are some pits Link must jump over to access raft-builder's house, requiring Roc's Feather. If Link leaves the second dungeon after obtaining Roc's Feather but without completing the rest of the dungeon, he will still be unable to obtain the raft, despite being able to talk to the NPC. Notably averted in The Legend of Zelda. All of Hyrule, save for two screensnote screens in which you need to have the Raft to access, can be explored from the start. Doing so, however, is likely to get you killed. The trope is prominent in the remake, BS The Legend of Zelda, where it interestingly combines with Broken Bridge. Certain obstacle-clearing items or events only appear or occur during certain broadcast weeks (for example, the Candle is needed in order to access the western portion of the map, but is only sold after the first week). One could wait until a later week and try to sequence break, but this defeats the purpose anyways, and the player only having one hour a week, or certain items becoming unobtainable. The Master Sword in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is absolutely required for fighting Ganondorf's dragon form. In the event that you managed to go that far without getting the sword, Zelda in her Light Dragon form will have it for you and let you pull it out without a struggle. This is a big contrast to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild where the Master Sword was completely optional to obtain.

You spend most of the game collecting abilities and shapeshift forms that let you explore previously inaccessible areas, most of which are linked to the starting zone. This actually forces your progression into a more or less linear path. For example, near the beginning, you get a telekinesis-like ability, allowing you to explore passages blocked by boulders — by pulling them away. In some other passages, your path is blocked by currents streaming towards you; you move on to explore them after learning a form in which you can swim against currents.

Ability Required to Proceed / int_9ef055f4	comment	Happens fairly often in Ratchet & Clank via Gadgets that are required to beat certain level paths, especially in the first three games. Players who are thorough with level exploration however never encounter this as they find the required gadgets and Infobots well beforehand through the course of normal play. The first game in particular has a chain that can stretch across half the games levels if you didn't play them thoroughly. To get to planet Hoven, you need to find the Infobot on Orxon as Ratchet. To do that, he needs to pick up the O2 Mask on Pokitaru via a minigame. That minigame needs the Pilot's Helmet, which is found on planet Gaspar. The Infobot with the co-ordinates to Gaspar is on Batalia, but you need the Grind Boots to get to it. The Grind Boots are bought from a scientist who is found on the Blarg Tactical Research Station. Also in the original game, players will have a 50/50 chance of running into this early in the game. Novalis has two paths which unlock new worlds, one to Metropolis and one to Aridia. However to complete all of Aridia's three paths, you need the Swingshot, which is found on Metropolis. To make the issue worse, Metropolis unlocks Eudora at the end of one of its paths, which requires the Trespasser to beat. Where do you find that? Why, at the end of the path on Aridia that needs the Swingshot, of course! Needless to say, unless you've memorized the level order and logistics perfectly (or just play through all of the paths), there's a high chance you'll run into this issue. In Going Commando, to get access to Planet Siberius, you need to do a lot. On Oozla, you need to go right for the Tractor Beam, and left for the coordinates to the Maktar Resort. On Maktar Resort, you can go right and use the Tractor Beam to solve some puzzles and get to the Jamming Array, which gives you the coordinates to Barlow, while going left and doing the tournament will give you the Electrolyzer, as well as the coordinates to Endako. On Endako, the right path takes you to Clank's apartment, where you can find the Swingshot and Grind Boots, while the left path, which requires the Electrolyzer, will allow you to rescue Clank. On Barlow, going up the ramp will take you to a section where you need the Swingshot, and continuing that path will allow you to buy the Thermanator, while the cave path ends in a Door to Before next to a gap that you need Clank to jump over. Completing the Hoverbike race that's across the gap will give you the coordinates to the Feltzin System, and completing that will give you the coordinates to Notak. On Notak, going across the bridge and following the path will take you to a room that you need the Thermanator to complete, and it will eventually continue to a chemical factory that you also need the Thermanator to complete. At the end of the factory, you can finally buy the coordinates to Siberius. In Ratchet & Clank (2016), you need to find the Hydrodisplacer on Aridia to get through the sewers in Blackwater City and get the Trespasser, which you need to get through a door on the Blarg Tactical Station. You'll also need the Thruster-Pack to get through Kalebo III, due to a Thrusterbolt that requires it.

Ability Required to Proceed / int_9f89a5f0	comment	During the first six generations of PokÃ©mon games, HM moves were Utility Weapons necessary to reach plot-specific areas. Each game has certain cities and localities you can only reach once you have taught one of your PokÃ©mon a certain HM and gained the Gym badge that allows you to use it outside of battle. Every entry that requires HMs has Cut as mandatory for the main storynote in Black and White, every other HM is only used to reach optional items or locations, with Surf and Strength being close behind. However, you can obtain PokÃ©mon that know the HM moves by trading instead of finding the HM, allowing for some minor Sequence Breaking, such as skipping the S.S. Anne in Gen I. Many players use a designated HM slave or two to carry the required moves, as while some are powerful attacks you'd want on your PokÃ©mon (Surf is one of the most powerful Water-type moves in the game), others are near worthless (in battle, Flash was a 70% accuracy status move during Gens I-III, with much better moves being able to do the exact same thing). On top of that, you can't just overwrite them with another move; you need to talk to a special NPC you generally meet late in the game in order to delete any HM moves.note Said NPC didn't even exist in Gen I, meaning whoever you taught the HM move in those games was forever stuck with it. From the seventh generation onwards, you no longer need to teach your PokÃ©mon HM moves. This trope still remains in play, however, as you now receive separate items or abilities (such as Ride PokÃ©mon) that accomplish the same goals without using up moveslots. Meanwhile, former HM moves became TM moves that can be freely taught and removed from a PokÃ©mon's moveset. PokÃ©mon Sword and Shield limits what creatures you are allowed to capture in the Wild Area depending on the amount of badges you have.

Notably, the only concern is that you have the magic level; you can choose to ignore upgrading the actual blades if you're looking for a challenge. The second and third games have certain doors protected by a colored, tumor-like Genma called Mozun. In order to unlock said areas, you have to find the right Oni Weapon and use it (examining the Mozun will always tell you what kind of elemental Oni Weapon you need). The fourth game, Dawn of Dreams has certain levels containing special locks or iron doors or walkways that can only be used by one of your party members.

Ability Required to Proceed / int_bef11602	comment	Shortly after acquiring the Leichenfaust 44note a combination BFG and Gravity Gun in Wolfenstein (2009), the player must use it to lift a gate they need to pass through to get to the rest of the level. The game earlier uses this trope to introduce the player to each of their new Veil powers: The only exit to the room in which the player acquires the Thule Medallionnote grants Veil powers, including access to supernatural doors and ladders is through a Veil Door. Shortly after acquiring Mirenote super speed/time slowing the player must navigate through a series of hallways with deadly projectiles flying down them. Doors that open only for brief periods, often in the form of force fields that temporarily short out, become relatively common obstacles from this point forward. As soon as the player acquires the Shieldnote allows the player to project a damage-absorbing shield crystal, the ability activates as they are swarmed by gun-toting enemies. Shield is also needed to exit the level, as the player must get past environmental hazards like arcing electricity and jets of steam that the power blocks. The exit to the room in which the player acquires the Empowernote increased weapon damage and the ability to shoot through obstacles crystal is blocked by a force field - a force field which the player can now shoot through to destroy the controls on the other side. As with Mire, blocked doors like this one also become common after this point.

Ability Required to Proceed / int_cdbd820f	comment	Zigzagged in Valheim: Most items dropped by bosses aren't needed to progress so much as to attain the materials for the next tier of gear, greatly reducing the time and randomness in obtaining them. Actually getting those materials involves foraying into new biomes and slowly crafting better gear until you can not just survive the biome but thrive in it: Killing Eikthyr lets you craft a pickaxe with which to start mining copper and stone in the Black Forest biome, leading to bronze gear. It's possible, if time-consuming, to get trolls to destroy rocky outcrops, letting you collect the ore. Killing the Elder gets you the Swamp Key, which gives you access to the main source of iron in the game. Iron can be found outside the crypts in much lower quantities and entirely based on luck as the deposits are few, far between and only occasionally above ground. Killing Bonemass gives you the Wishbone, which makes a noise when near buried treasure. Silver veins in the mountains can be detected by whacking the ground with a Stagbreaker, but once again is entirely dependent on luck. Silver is also necessary to craft cold-resistant gear, which leaves the player dependent on temporary potions to explore the mountains. Killing Moder gives you access to the next tier of material refining stations, without which most of the Plains' resources cannot be refined. Killing Yagluth lets you find wisps to partially clear away the otherwise ever-present fog in the Mistlands. Going in the Mists without a wisp is technically possible but very much a Self-Imposed Challenge.

Ability Required to Proceed / int_dffb9d98	comment	This gets particularly annoying in later game Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, where the Bros are simply remembering moves they knew in previous games but mysteriously forgot. They don't remember the first time you find an appropriate obstacle, oh no; you have to wait until the plot gets to the right point, and then backtrack later.

The abilities had to be purchased from Moneybags in order to complete each hub area, and some orb sidequests also required them, meaning you may occasionally need to backtrack to previous areas for 100% completion.

Ability Required to Proceed / int_e72137be	comment	As is normal for Castlevania-styled games, Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night has a couple of cases of this, such as an ability which allows you to move obstacles out of the way, or the ever-popular double jump. One which stands out as a Guide Dang It! moment, however, is the Aqua Stream ability, which is dropped from a perfectly normal jellyfish enemy and is necessary to move through the Underground Waterway at first. Thankfully, its drop rate is exceedingly high when it comes to shards, at 10% base.

Ability Required to Proceed / int_f04b4111	comment	Metroid: Metroid: Samus can only do four things without items; run, jump, flip and shoot. You need the Morph Ball to even get past the first few screens, and the Missiles and Morph Ball Bombs to get anywhere. She also needs the Hi-Jump Boots and Ice Beam to access certain areas and attack the Metroids in Tourian. Super Metroid: You need various abilities and equipment to proceed, as par for the course of a Metroidvania-style game. The Morph Ball, Missiles and Bombs to get beyond Crateria, and the Super Missiles, Speed Booster (or the Ice Beam if you preferâ€”you at least need one or the other), Power Bombs and at minimum three energy tanks are absolutely required to finish the game. There's one point where it's combined with Some Dexterity Required: if you wind up in the optional section where the Etecoons teach you the Wall Jump (and if you happen to save your game there), you must become at least familiar with the ability to escape. This isn't too difficult, but it's notably one of the few places where good control and execution is necessary to advance, as opposed to merely making the game easier and enabling Sequence Breaking. Metroid Fusion puts icons on blocks which you need a specific ability to destroy. In Metroid: Samus Returns, certain abilities acquired from Chozo statues, like the Spider Ball, are needed to gain access to new areas and others that were previously inaccessible.

In the event that you managed to go that far without getting the sword, Zelda in her Light Dragon form will have it for you and let you pull it out without a struggle.

Ability Required to Proceed / int_f97683ef	comment	Hollow Knight uses this heavily, as expected of a Metroidvania. One of its early manifestations is the path from the first area (Forgotten Crossroads) to the second (Greenpath) being blocked by an Elder Baldur which retreats into its invulnerable shell when you get within melee range, forcing you to learn a magic attack to pick it off at a distance. There are also helpful visual cues for many of the spots which you will need the Desolate Dive or Crystal Heart abilities to get through: glass floors or Chunky Updraft for the former, bits of crystal stuck in walls for the latter. The black barriers which you need the Shade Cloak to get past provide the most obvious use for that late-game ability; annoyingly, one of the areas thus blocked off is the part of Fog Canyon where you can obtain the area map from Cornifer.
