No-Gear Level	comment	A level where the player is stripped of all weapons and equipment. It most often is justified by having the character arrested/captured/imprisoned (usually in a case of Cutscene Incompetence), but there are other means of losing your stuff, such as an airplane crash or shipwreck. In some cases, the player has to go undercover to infiltrate an enemy building, so they must willingly give up their weapons. They may be able to acquire new weapons and equipment, rebuilding their inventory as they go along, or may just have to complete a segment of the game by using abilities which are not so easily removed, such as stealth, unarmed combat, or innate powers or magical abilities, though the latter may also be disabled. This may involve a Full-Frontal Assault if they're missing their clothes too. If the player is ever able to regain their original inventory, expect it to be stashed all together in an easily accessible package, unused by the enemy. See also A Taste of Power (an inversion of this which gives you late-game equipment in the very beginning of the game), Second Hour Superpower (when the first level is played without gear), Bag of Spilling (loss of equipment between games), So Long, and Thanks for All the Gear, No Item Use for You, and Non-Combatant Immunity. A variant of Unexpected Gameplay Change. Examples

Thankfully the first area contains only three Skrits (the lowest-ranked variety of enemy) and you obtain repairs for your robot's leg joints shortly afterwards, allowing you to at least walk normally. You then gain better equipment in proper later on.

No-Gear Level / int_1519a19e	comment	This is a severe punishment in Bloodwings: Pumpkinhead's Revenge, for apparently if you take anything from a certain cutscene that was not actually a scene from the movie, a group of children will warn you to put it back. If you choose to deny their demand, they strip you of your entire inventory, thus rendering the game Unwinnable. Justified (in a sense) - if you listen to the dialogue in the scene, those items are stolen goods. (The only exception is the newspaper, which you are not punished for taking, but which can be found in a different scene anyway.)

No-Gear Level / int_1ad4fe9a	comment	Might and Magic: VII has you travelling to the game's final dungeon requires a brief trek through shark-infested waters while nothing but a wetsuit and a laser blaster. You can't cast any spells , either. You at least get to carry all of your armor with you, so that it can put back on just as quickly as it was taken off once you get there (which, in turn, renders the whole experience little more than a maddening exercise in completely removing everybody's equipment and then putting it right back on). X's sole DLC starts off after the original game ends with the party getting arrested and thrown in a jail. The first part of it is about manoeuvring to avoid guards so you can find some simple replacement gear and be able to actually fight them. Later on it is possible to get your original gear back — it's technically optional, but you really should, as there is no second chance to get it back once you leave the prison.

No-Gear Level / int_1c1ceec7	comment	The Monster Hunter series has the occasional optional quest that you can only sign up for if you are not wearing any armor or talismans. You can still use your usual weapon, but with only food buffs, your weapon's defense if it even has any, and pouch items for defense, you become a Glass Cannon who can't afford to take any hits. Conversely, there are quests where you can bring your armor and talisman, but nothing in your item pouch. One notable quest of the former kind is "Naked and Afraid" in Monster Hunter 4, a High-Rank quest where you must fight two Deviljhos, already dangerous and aggressive monsters on their own, with no armor or Talismans. An example of the latter type occurs in the expansion Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate with "Misty Challenge", where you must slay or repel Chameleos (an Elder Dragon) without bringing any items in your inventory, thus relying on the food and potions provided by the guild in the camp area.

If you know what's going to happen you can "smuggle" weapons from outside the island into the Trial by dropping them onto your raft before crossing the threshold. The DLC Trial of the Sword casts you into a large 45-floor dungeon (Sword Monk's Shrine) with no items except the Paraglider and the Sheikah Slate, because it is your spirit venturing in the dungeon. This, notably, prevents you from "smuggling" items in like on Eventide Island.

You lose that weapon before the end of the first level, and since you're playing a twelve-year-old boy with no other means of defense, you have to run helplessly for the rest of the level. Later in the game, you find a magical rock that grants you powers, and you can start zapping monsters again. This lasts until the rock is destroyed late in the game, and you lose your powers for good, only to find your electric weapon a moment later.

No-Gear Level / int_28b53408	comment	Happens several times in F.E.A.R. and sequels. In F.E.A.R., several psychic vision sequences in the final Interval inexplicably make all of Point Man's weapons vanish and equip him with a pistol. F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin strips Becket of his gear after the first level, as he is critically injured by the nuclear explosion (from the first game) and taken to Armacham's hospital where he later wakes up. In F.E.A.R. 3, Point Man manages to lose his entire inventory at the beginning of every single level. In the later levels he at least starts out armed, but often only with a basic pistol and submachine gun at most. An attempt is made to justify this by having nearly every level begin with Point Man recovering from some destructive event, such as a helicopter crash, a flood, falling off a bridge, etc, in which he'd naturally lose much of his gear.

You acquire a pistol by steathily knocking out a government spook and use it to fight through more spooks. Thankfully, you're able to regain your arsenal later on, and Dave, the Mission Control for the mission, notifies you about it. "Bury The Hatchet" has Michael in North Yankton with only a pistol, the justification being that his weapons were removed on the flight. You have to face a group of Triads equipped with shotguns and assault rifles using only your pistol... which would've been problematic were it not for Michael's Bullet Time special ability.

In these missions, your character(Amy in one, Storm in the next and Jet in the last) is locked into their on-foot Charge mode and are tasked with fighting off an army of robots. While Charge mode allows them to reach speeds far higher than they do on their boards, the way the stages are set up for the mission and the skill and speed that the enemy AI have in evading you means that you HAVE to be running for as much time as possible to hit all of them, meaning that outside of trick ramps, your Gravity Control and Gear Parts are absolutely useless.

For reference, when you first open a new save file, you start the game with twenty. This makes it extremely difficult to make use of Unite Morphs since a single hit scatters your forces every which way until you gather them up again. As a result, even weak enemies that were obsolete from the second level are suddenly challenging again since your attack power is weak and your evasive options are often locked due to a lack of Wonderful Ones.

Most importantly is that Elizabeth — the lovable Hypercompetent Sidekick who can scrounge up such resources who you've gotten used to relying on in a pinch — is absent, and if you get caught, you will feel it. The worst part is that near the end of the level, the alarm gets unavoidably set off and you have to barrel through the ensuing brawl with minimal resources anyway.

(If you have a LOT of materia, she'll actually leave a few, but you're not likely to have enough at the point when the sidequest first opens unless you spent a lot of time grinding.) This is extremely devastating since materia not only gives you your abilities, but it also alters your stats. Without materia, your party is severely gimped, even with the best weapons and armor. To rub the salt in the wound, any materia you find during the side quest is immediately stolen by Yuffie on the spot. To make sure the player isn't completely screwed, enemies in the area will always drop X-Potions (fully restores HP) and attack items like Bolt Plumes so that the player can at least heal and hit multiple enemies and exploit their elemental weaknesses.

He said in response to some people saying how it was impossible to do a couple levels in the first game Vidmaster-style as there were no weapon pickups in those level, and Vidmaster-style means starting with level select (which means nothing but the pistol plus a couple clips for it and your fists that you start with). There is one level which could not be completed using level select unless using mods, though, as getting out of the first room required triggering a switch remotely, and the pistol can't do that.

In the first, the player must sneak them past Imperial troopers and searchlights. To make matters worse, Alicia starts out with an injured ankle that greatly decreases her speed and mobility until the duo find healing herbs. The second battle takes place at a river gorge, where the rest of the squad waits for them on the other side. As there are no other tank commanders in the squad, the Edelweiss cannot be used until Welkin reaches it, though it can be targeted by enemy rockets. Also applies to two DLC mini-campaigns. "Edy Detachment Challenge" forces you to use specific units, who are all reset to a predetermined level and with a predetermined loadout, both of which are almost guaranteed to be weaker then what you have in the main campaign. Meanwhile, "Behind Her Blue Flame" gives you control of Selvaria in all her overpowered glory, but also forces her to drag along a team of mediocre Imperial units who haven't even reached Elite status.

No-Gear Level / int_5425ce75	comment	The Grand Theft Auto series has multiple instances of this: In order to complete the "Penal Ties" mission in the Residential district of Grand Theft Auto 2, you have to get arrested, and thereby get stripped of all your weapons. The last story mission of Grand Theft Auto III sees you stripped of the possible thousands-of-pounds of weaponry and ammunition you might be carrying in the opening cutscene before you punch out a guard and steal his pistol. The rest of the mission requires you to keep pace with your fleeing ex-girlfriend turned crime lord while properly re-arming yourself to stay alive and eventually shoot down the helicopter she's escaping in. If the player finds many of the packages and is swift with a vehicle, it is possible to swing by a safehouse and load up on the goodies. In general, the installments from Vice City on, on account of having a Limited Loadout you can swap out for different guns, will often take your stronger weapons and replace them with weaker ones as a story necessity, thereby cheating you out of your hard-earned equipment. In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Tommy is asked to persuade someone to part with some land by going to the country club and beating the crap out of him. There's a metal detector at the entrance which places all your weapons outside (you can pick them up again when you leave) — but this trope is subverted because it is possible to jump over the outside wall and enter the country club with all your equipment. The metal detector only takes away your guns and grenades, though. Entering with a chainsaw is perfectly fine. This happens in the airport terminal, too, and you can't get around that one. In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, CJ loses all his guns several times. After you've finished the story missions for the first city, you're dumped out of town with no weapons. Later on, after the helicopter he's gunning down from gets shot down and crashes in water, you must then make your way aboard the gangster-ridden container ship you were attacking and acquire guns by killing gang members with your knife. (Or you can simply swim ashore, buy new weapons, and go back). Another mission, Stowaway, has CJ inside a plane loaded with explosives (possibly landmines). Shooting in there is not forbidden, no - but one shot that misses a government agent mook in there means hitting the explosives and the whole thing goes kaboom. Players are likely to resort to melee weapons or unarmed combat in there, risking no such thing - especially since getting into the plane in the first place is That One Level Part players are unlikely to want to repeat. note Driving up to and then up a narrow ramp of said plane, while it's taking off, on a motorbike, and with barrels rolling out of the ramp every once in a while. And the plane has quite a lot of head start... In Grand Theft Auto V, a few of Michael's missions are like this. "Dead Man Walking" has Michael loaded into a morgue, stripped of his weapons. You acquire a pistol by steathily knocking out a government spook and use it to fight through more spooks. Thankfully, you're able to regain your arsenal later on, and Dave, the Mission Control for the mission, notifies you about it. "Bury The Hatchet" has Michael in North Yankton with only a pistol, the justification being that his weapons were removed on the flight. You have to face a group of Triads equipped with shotguns and assault rifles using only your pistol... which would've been problematic were it not for Michael's Bullet Time special ability.

You don't have time to reclaim your weapons, so you run half a mile through a massive slum to get back to the rooftops without the weapons you were kicking ass with earlier, with an entire militia on your tail, and make a breakneck jump to "get to the chopper", with a final leap that pays homage to the original daring escape made by Soap in Call of Duty 4 on the cargo rig.

No-Gear Level / int_562e8a6e	comment	The Max Payne games do this: In the original game, after getting the crap beaten out of him by Frankie "the Bat" Niagara, Max has to sneak past Frankie's men until he can get his weapons back. In order to illustrate the badass nature of Max Payne, it's important to reiterate the point: after getting pummeled with a baseball bat to the point of death, Max Payne had to escape being tied to a chair, grab the bat that had been used to whack the bejeezus out of him, use it to whack the mooks and get their guns, then go to town. It is also possible to get the mooks to shoot at each other, and finish off the remaining ones, like anyone would do in a weaponless level. Also, if you wait and observe their pattern, it is possible to get out of the basement without alerting any guards and also raiding a supply room for almost all the weapons you had lost. In Max Payne 2, he has to evade assassins at the hospital until he can obtain a weapon from a fallen security guard and turn the tables. He also loses everything at the start of the second chapter... then the police station gets attacked. Max Payne 3 pulls this at the beginning of the third chapter where Max is forced to disarm. To add insult to injury, he gets shot in the arm by a sniper, crippling his mobility and causing vision blur and periodic blackouts.

The first visit occurs after they steal OPART, causing him to lose all of the abilities it gave him. The goal of the level is to retrieve it, but Frogger has none of his special abilities, so all he can do is hop around normally. The second time, OPART is only able to use the Long Jump and Push Blocks abilities due to Dusty sabotaging it by installing a Dark Relic into it.

It is justified since Sherry doesn't use weapons and thankfully, the sections with Sherry are short, have enemies that you can dodge, and she has almost double the amount of defense compared to Claire. Resident Evil 2 (Remake) also has the no-gear level where you play as Sherry, but rather than dodging enemies she has to play Cat and Mouse with the repulsive murderous potential rapist that is Police Chief Irons in a creepy orphanage, complete with a "HERE'S JOHNNY!" Shout-Out where Irons smashes through a window. Claire starts the game with no weapons in Resident Evil â€“ Code: Veronica and Resident Evil: Revelations 2. Starting both games waking up after being knocked out in a jail cell. The segment where you play as Ashley in Resident Evil 4 amounts to this. Ashley can fight back by throwing lanterns at enemies, but that's about it. Resident Evil 5 has the Lost in Nightmares DLC where Chris and Jill fall through a floor and crash into a basement. Somehow, the fall causes them to lose all the guns and items they collected. To make matters worse, there are monsters roaming around with huge axes that have to be lured into traps in order to kill them off. In Resident Evil 6, Jake and Sherry are captured and stripped of all their gear at the beginning of Chapter 3. Thankfully, for those who chose to play as Jake, his bare hands tend to do more damage than his guns anyways. Lucas Baker in Resident Evil 7 won't let you through a certain door unless you put every single item you're carrying into storage. Resident Evil Village has the Beneviento manor, where a sneaky doll steals all of your items, and before getting them back you must hide from a monster in a way reminiscent of Clock Tower. Resident Evil Containment: Episode 3 begins with Ghost getting up from a nasty fall from the previous episode. Said fall broke both of his guns and left his health in Danger status. You're forced to navigate a forest full of zombie dogs in this condition.

Your stuff is all given back to you at the very end, however. Averted in the main quest when you must infiltrate the Thalmor embassy. A collaborator can smuggle some equipment in for you, and instructs you to bring only what is absolutely necessary, but there's no weight limit on what he smuggles in, so you can dump your entire inventory on him and pick it up again ten minutes later without ever having to get into a fight. Mastering the ultimate Restoration spell requires performing a ritual in which the player character is locked in a small room, stripped of all their gear and clothes, and must survive long enough being attacked by mage ghosts, or outright defeat them.

No-Gear Level / int_59151283	comment	All the Metal Gear games have this in some form. Reversed somewhat in the original Metal Gear. In order to rescue Gray Fox, you must trick the guards into capturing you. You then encounter the first boss of the game unarmed, and must complete a short pseudo-puzzle (while dodging the boss's fire) to get back your equipment. You can then shoot the boss with remote-controlled missiles. The kicker is that there's now a transponder in your gear that will summon endless Respawning Enemies until you discard it. You also have to lose all your equipment to encounter Gray Fox in Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, but for a different reason this time. Fox accomplishes this by setting you on fire, forcing you to go through your inventory and drop all your equipment in order to put the fire out. The final boss afterwards, Big Boss, requires you to go through a Lock and Key Puzzle, grabbing higher-security keycards to open higher-level doors and ultimately acquire a spray can and lighter to improvise a flamethrower. Metal Gear Solid: The game only has you face one guard like this, who is easily dealt with, and then provides an excuse as to why your equipment is all in the next room over. You're being played. They wanted you to escape and use the passkey you have to override the arming system for the nuke they can't use, thinking that you're disarming it. Being captured is part of the show, to convince you it's necessary. If the guard beats you you have to try again, so the gambit will eventually pan out. They also hid a time bomb in with the rest of your equipment. If you don't notice the new addition to your inventory and get rid of it before the timer runs out, it explodes and you die. One of the areas you travel through is filled with a bunch of (albeit deactivated) warheads that make firing guns really risky (even if they won't go up, they could leak radiation), so your Mission Control calls to note that your nanomachines are programmed to prevent you from firing guns in that room. Not like it stops the guards from shooting at you if they catch you, though. The final boss must be fought hand-to-hand. The player isn't given any of their weapons back for the escape sequence either, having to rely on a mounted gun on the back of the escape vehicle. Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty has its famous stretch where the character is stripped of both his equipment AND his clothing (leaving him stark naked), receiving strange calls on the codec. Like in the first MGS, you also have your weapons taken away for the final boss, leaving you nothing but the high-frequency blade he hands you just before it starts for real. Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater has a point where you get captured and stripped of almost all your weapons, along with all your equipment and food, leaving you with only a fork and a gun with no ammunition with which to make your escape. It is, however, possible to trick the guard into giving you another weapon before attempting your escape - he pilfered your smokes, unaware that they're fake cigarettes that can emit sleeping gas, and will give them back if you throw enough food back at him to get him to talk to you - and you can also knock him out to get smoke grenades once you're out of your cell. Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops puts a good twist on it. As in the other games, Big Boss/Snake is captured, and stripped of his equipment... but this time, the Red Shirt Army he's spent the whole game recruiting has to search for him and break him out. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots's final boss, as usual. The game even makes a point of destroying Snake's OctoCamo and Solid Eye during the events immediately before the fight. Happens again in Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. As is common in the series, you have to enact a prison escape without your gear, though it's a little easier than the second and third games thanks to a short length and retaining CQC. In an interesting variation, you don't get all your items back after escaping. Instead, an Extra Op is unlocked where you must play as MSF soldier(s) to recover some of the items Snake had taken from him when he got captured. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain's Subsistence missions force the player to wear Olive Drab camo and have no weapons. Supply drops are also disabled, meaning the only source of weapons and ammunition is within enemy guard posts. The "No Traces" bonus makes it worse. In order to get this bonus, you cannot use weapons or attack enemies at all (though hold-ups and subsequent interrogations are still allowed).

No-Gear Level / int_59da62aa	comment	Fallout: New Vegas has several of these areas: In the main game, there are several areas with doormen that will confiscate your weapons before letting you inside (such as casinos on the New Vegas Strip or Caesar's Fort) and hold onto them until you leave. That said, you can smuggle in small holdout weapons (like straight razors, brass knuckles, or small pistols) or large holdout weapons if your sneaking skill is especially good (like large pistols or energy weapons.) Or you can tell the doormen something along the lines of: Note that saying that is a bad idea if you want to interact with the folks there in a way not involving gunfire. In the Dead Money expansion, you lose all your gear from the start with the Hand Wave that the Sierra Madre automated security system removes everything with traces of radiation on it and teleports it back to your home. (Oddly enough, this does not include your Pip-Boy.) In the Honest Hearts expansion there's a more reasonable explanation - since you're joining a caravan that will travel through mountainous terrain, you can only carry 75 pounds of gear with you to keep up. (You do get to choose which gear to take with you, however. Also, if you pass a few checks, you can get someone else to carry an additional 25 pounds of gear for you.) During the first leg of the quest "Still in the Dark" (unless you have Veronica as a companion), the Brotherhood of Steel strips you of your inventory as well as fitting you with an explosive collar, and only gives you your stuff back after you're back outside of the bunker, moving to deal with an NCR Ranger who's snooping too close.

The rest of the mission requires you to keep pace with your fleeing ex-girlfriend turned crime lord while properly re-arming yourself to stay alive and eventually shoot down the helicopter she's escaping in. If the player finds many of the packages and is swift with a vehicle, it is possible to swing by a safehouse and load up on the goodies.

No-Gear Level / int_66a1dcea	comment	Every Tomb Raider game does this at some point or other, to varying degrees (in some you lose your weapons but keep ammo and other items, in others you lose everything, and in a select few, you play a level or two where weaponry is simply not available). Tomb Raider I has Natla's Mines, where you get your weapons stolen by Natla's Quirky Miniboss Squad and have to spend the level taking them down one-on-one and taking back your Magnums, Uzi, and Shotgun in that order. What's nice is if you missed one of these three weapons before the level said mook will have one of his own, allowing you to claim his as your own and go into the final level with a full loadout. The Last Revelation and Legend have flashback levels where you play as a younger Lara where she doesn't carry weapons. These levels are focused on puzzles and platforming with enemies you have to avoid or find a way to disable them. It's worth noting that in Tomb Raider III, where you lose almost everything, med kits included, said loss is permanent. In addition, the player decides what order to complete the middle three of the five areas in, and if you pick a certain area last... Well, sucks to be you. It doesn't help that said area is listed as the last of the three in most official material (including the level select screen). The 2024 remaster changes this by having all of your collected weapons and ammo in a pile next to your pistols, thus you don't have to worry about losing everything. The final chapter in Tomb Raider Chronicles has one level where Lara must give up her weapon by placing it on a tray because the hallway nearby is a security scanner. Trying to go through it with a weapon will trigger some turrets and kill you quickly. Until you can disable the security scanner, Lara can either use chloroform to knock out guards or just avoid being spotted. In the 2013 reboot, when Lara is captured in the Solarii caves about midway through the game, she loses most of her weapons apart from the bow and arrows while she's escaping, requiring her to retrieve her lost guns as she advances through the mines and rescues her friends.

With a bit of Sequence Breaking (i.e. unequipping all your gear before entering that dungeon—your inventory is not taken away, just your current gear), it can result in you getting free high-level gear, which the clones use in place of weapons that you were supposed to carry.

In all three cases, you are able to rebuild your arsenal the same way you built it in the first place (taking guns off dead enemies), but whatever weapons and ammo you had originally are lost.

You're even instructed by one of your captors (President Eden) to get your stuff from it. The sequence following this event, had it NOT be subverted, would've been a subversion of another fake difficulty trope (before briefly subverting/correcting itself.) Played arrow-straight, however, in The Pitt expansion. In order to get into Pittsburgh, you must (willingly or unwillingly) give up all your equipment except, optionally, for a hidden switchblade or the least powerful gun in the game — both are only marginally better than your bare hands despite the fact that by this point, you may be kitted out in full Power Armor with a Gatling Laser and the guards are about as strong as the other random Mooks you've been killing for days.

After you've finished the story missions for the first city, you're dumped out of town with no weapons. Later on, after the helicopter he's gunning down from gets shot down and crashes in water, you must then make your way aboard the gangster-ridden container ship you were attacking and acquire guns by killing gang members with your knife. (Or you can simply swim ashore, buy new weapons, and go back). Another mission, Stowaway, has CJ inside a plane loaded with explosives (possibly landmines). Shooting in there is not forbidden, no - but one shot that misses a government agent mook in there means hitting the explosives and the whole thing goes kaboom. Players are likely to resort to melee weapons or unarmed combat in there, risking no such thing - especially since getting into the plane in the first place is That One Level Part players are unlikely to want to repeat. note Driving up to and then up a narrow ramp of said plane, while it's taking off, on a motorbike, and with barrels rolling out of the ramp every once in a while. And the plane has quite a lot of head start...

This is eased, however, by having the Beast fighting alongside him. You can cast spells too, but that might not help so much if you're one of those who specialized in combat and since the Keyblade also enhances your magic, that ends up weakened as well. Thankfully, you get the Keyblade back once you catch up to Riku.

The Legend of Zelda: Oracle Games: In Oracle of Ages, your equipment is stolen about a third of the way through the game when you are stranded on an island. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess has segments where Link becomes a wolf, rendering him unable to use weapons or items (the first time even involves you being captured and imprisoned). However, you can still fight about as well as you could in human form. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword: In the third trip to Eldin Volcano, you have to run around collecting all your gear after an eruption made you crash onto land and remain trapped in a cell. Thankfully, a supporting Mogma character retrieves the Mogma Mitts offscreen and gives them to you so you can escape — you can't get anywhere without those. The Silent Realms don't allow you to use any items except the Sailcloth, because it's your spirit who takes the test, and all tools and weapons are material. If you alert an enemy, you'll just have to run away from them. To make it harder, they can kill you and wipe all your progress if they hit you one single time. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild: When reaching Eventide Island, your inventory is magically taken from you as part of a trial and you have to scavenge new weapons in order to defend yourself against the monsters and complete it. If you know what's going to happen you can "smuggle" weapons from outside the island into the Trial by dropping them onto your raft before crossing the threshold. The DLC Trial of the Sword casts you into a large 45-floor dungeon (Sword Monk's Shrine) with no items except the Paraglider and the Sheikah Slate, because it is your spirit venturing in the dungeon. This, notably, prevents you from "smuggling" items in like on Eventide Island. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom: The Proving Grounds Shrines has Link stripped of his clothes and weapons with the task to use surrounding items to defeat all the Constructs. The gear removal happens during the transition as you enter, so there's no opportunity to smuggle things in. There's also a quest for the Lucky Clover Gazette where you need to show some researchers how to deal with monsters in your underpants. One of the researchers generously offers to hold on to your things for you, including anything you might have floated in with Ultrahand, which stops you from smuggling things in.

No-Gear Level / int_755997ac	comment	Doom: In DoomÂ³, shortly after deciding whether to call the fleet or not, the main character is teleported to Hell and loses all his weapons. Then you're fighting the big monsters you've been saving rocket shells for with a shotgun and dead ends. When you return to Mars, you lose your weapons again (except for the Soul Cube), but thankfully, you reacquire most of your arsenal right at the start of your return. The Doom II mod Vanguard has the player die at the end of level 5, forcing him to go through level 6 (aptly named "Punchline") with nothing but a pistol and a berserk fist. All these imps and zombiemen suddenly become a real threat, and the moment where you get the shotgun back gives you the "yeah, I'm back in the game!" feeling. Earthless: Prelude, a Doom II mod, makes some levels end with Doomguy inevitably die right before their conclusion. While this is done for the sake of Fission Mailed (as progression continues normally), it has the side effect of having the main character start the next level with just a pistol, a knife and the original caps for the health and ammunition.

No-Gear Level / int_7988cb68	comment	Mass Effect: Subverted in one case. When you first reach Noveria in the first game the local security guards want to strip you of your weapons before you enter Port Hanshan. Just before you hand the guns over (or gun the security guards down) a voice over the intercom tells the guards to stop harassing you and let you pass. One of the DLC chapters in the second game plays it straight after the main character is captured. It only takes about a minute to get all your gear back though. Kasumi's loyalty mission also forces the player to solve a few puzzles and deal with a few weak enemies whilst equipped with only a pistol. Again, your weapons and armor are soon returned. The segment near the end of the second game where you play as Joker can count as this, as he's on a stealth mission with no equipment and can die easily. The Citadel DLC for the third game at one point drops you into a firefight with only a level one pistol you just stole from a goon and no armour, allies or medi-gel, which is pretty inconvenient after you fall quite a long distance and get beaten down to only one health box out of five as a scripted event. Of course, you still have all of your powers, which can be astoundingly destructive if you're a power-based class, and the pistol is really quite powerful if you aim for the head. Although by then there aren't very many enemies left to fight, the last leg of the third game's final dungeon has Shepard going it alone, no armor, and only a pistol. All other weapons are presumably destroyed or lost when Shepard is caught in an explosion prior to reaching the ship, which also reduces their armor to a charred mostly destroyed undershirt.

Not as egregious as the others, as you are not actually thrown in prison, but stripped of your equipment and taken to an impromptu interrogation. When the guards enter the adjacent room, the player is given the chance to pick the lock on the handcuffs, allowing you to deal with your captors and retrieve your gear.

The FLUDD is a water device that lets Mario spray enemies to stun them or allow Mario to hover and clear gaps. When you don't have the item, you have to rely on precise jumping to get to each platform and have to use other moves to stomp enemies. You only lose use of FLUDD once while traversing the obstacle courses until it is completed, whereas in the third episode of Pianta Village, FLUDD is always stolen from you as you begin the mission and you have to make your way through the goop to get it back. Certain challenges in Super Mario Odyssey require Mario to deposit Cappy atop a scarecrow to access the area, thus requring Mario to complete the challenges without the extra abilities and mobility from Cappy's help. After Dimentio kills Mario in Super Paper Mario he winds up in a different dimension called the Underwhere without Peach, Bowser, any of the Pixls, or any of his items. Mario has to seek the help of Queen Jaydes to return to the real world. World 3-7 of Paper Mario: Sticker Star seperates you from Kersti, your Hammer, and all of your stickers upon falling in a pit of spiders. You must reclaim all of your Stickers, beat a miniboss without the Hammer, save Kersti, find the Hammer, save the Wiggler segment that fell down the hole, then finally reach the goal.

This includes all of his stickers, his hammer, and even his traveling companion Kersti forcing him not to use the Battle Spinner. As Mario ventures through the level, he can find each of his stickers along the way and will eventually find Kersti and his hammer near the end of the level. However, this turn Rustle Burrow into a pretty nasty That One Level considering right before Mario can go any further into the burrow, he confronts the Big Scuttlebug. The issue with this boss is that Mario cannot jump on it at first as long it's on the web. If Mario tries to jump on the Big Scuttlebug before the web breaks, he will get stuck on the web and the Big Scuttlebug will immediately bite him for damage. Mario hopes some of the stickers he found were either Fire Flowers or Ice Flowers (as, remember, Mario cannot use his hammer-related stickers without having his hammer).

She tries fighting him off with no weapons or armor equipped and promptly gets laid out on the ground, leaving your party to come to the rescue. The Cultists' Tower strips your party of every ability except for Esper-derived magic and summoning. You are expected to engage in magic duels with the enemies in the tower, which often entails bouncing spells off of party members equipped with Reflect Rings. An exception is Umaro the yeti, who does not possess the Attack command and is an entirely AI-controlled berserker. He will continue to pummel the enemies in the tower the same as he does everywhere else.

No-Gear Level / int_86814e94	comment	Salvage in Final Fantasy XI strips players of the ability to use all gear upon entering (the excuse is something about psychowaves in the ruins). Special cells dropped by enemies can be used to lift the equipment restrictions, slot by slot. Several bosses also have abilities which strip the players gear when hit with them. Virtually any serious player uses extensive macro'ed gear swaps to maximize the effect of every action they take, so it's generally not an issue to instantly reequip everything with the click one a single macro. Players without such macros however have an ordeal of trying to reequip everything mid combat through the clunky aged UI only to find themselves striped again.

Subsequently separated from his friends, he has to wander the enemy stronghold while relying entirely on Arcana from the Ring of the Lucii, a unique magic moveset consisting of a slow Life Drain, an evasion-and-counter boost, and a Charged Attack One-Hit Kill. This magic was rather less-than-effective in the 1.0.0 version; later versions beefed the Arcana moveset and gave the player the option to follow his friends instead.

No-Gear Level / int_87f79296	comment	Far Cry: Far Cry uses the trope in an uncommonly logical manner: You actually start the game unarmed after a shipwreck, and spend the first level seeking out weapons and armor before actually taking on the people who shipwrecked you. A more typical example occurs later, toward the end, when you lose everything after getting captured. Far Cry Instincts does this three times, though logically; the first time, you're crawling out of a shipwreck with only your switchblade, while the second time you've been captured, and the third time you've just woken up from surgery to find you've beaten fifty men to death with your bare hands and all hell has broken loose. Far Cry 2 has essentially no connection to the previous game, but in one level you and your main buddy are captured and taken to a prison. Oddly enough they leave your machete on you but take your guns, but there's very little fighting in the prison itself; it's a short run straight out of the cells past no guards to get outside, and from there you can sneak up on a hut on the road and steal some supplies. As soon as you get out of the prison you're able to get to a gun dealer and totally restock. Also happens in Far Cry 3, when you get captured, twice in a row. The first time, you find a basic gun pretty quickly, and it's all you need to escape. The second time, you still have your machete, and are able to kill a guard quickly to get his gun, but it's not terribly useful, since the gun is neither silenced (so no easy stealth kills from range) nor powerful enough to adequately deal with the Heavy Trooper guarding the shack with your supplies. After starting Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon with the upgraded versions of the game's weapons, you're stripped of them all and forced to sneak past a herd of the titular Blood Dragons, either to emphasize how "unstoppable" they are or just to scare the crap out of the player. Far Cry 4 has Durgesh Prison. Not only are you stripped of your gear but you're also doped out of your gourd on hallucinogenic drugs which make you see a big monster thing that can in fact kill you. It's worn off by the time you've scrounged to build a grappling hook and descended the cliff, but now you have to deal with armed guards until you escape the area. Far Cry 5 does this to an annoying extent, as there are numerous unavoidable scripted events where you're automatically captured and have your gear taken away. While you can instantly regain all your weapons for free once you make it to a weapon shop, your ammo is permanently lost, forcing you to scrounge or buy more, which is annoying when it comes to expensive types like rockets and .50 caliber rounds.

Return to Castle Wolfenstein begins this way. The Xbox version added an extra chapter before the opening, which makes it more of this trope when you're thrown in prison without your weapons. Shows up again in Wolfenstein: The Old Blood; first, when BJ is once again captured and has to escape from the titular castle - this time beginning only with some lengths of pipe, and later in the game where a Zombie Apocalype occurs, and you only have a pipe because you had to stash your weapons to sneak into a tavern filled with Nazis in the previous level. In the second example, you can get your weapons back.

Thankfully, a supporting Mogma character retrieves the Mogma Mitts offscreen and gives them to you so you can escape — you can't get anywhere without those.

No-Gear Level / int_8ec33a87	comment	Spirit Crucible Elpys in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is a downplayed example. When you start the dungeon, you're told the particles in the air that adsorb ether to light the place up choke your Blades of the energy they use to fight, and this is reflected in gameplay. On the upper level, nobody can use level 3 specials anymore, the middle level limits you to level 1 specials, and the lower level prevents you from even reaching full affinity during battle (which prevents a lot of passives kicking in, crippling Blades who would otherwise sail on their normal attacks). Poppi, who self-produces her own ether internally, is immune to these effects so by fielding Tora you'll have at least one fighter immune to all this.

If you get caught in one, you're bound to get caught in another since you now have to flee from the enemy chasing you instead of taking it slow and careful, which means there are now two enemies chasing you, and it continues to spiral downhill from there.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim: The "No One Escapes Cidhna Mine" sidequest, which strips you of all your inventory items (though magic is still available, you're given a pickaxe, and you can bargain with your fellow inmates for a shiv).

A collaborator can smuggle some equipment in for you, and instructs you to bring only what is absolutely necessary, but there's no weight limit on what he smuggles in, so you can dump your entire inventory on him and pick it up again ten minutes later without ever having to get into a fight. Mastering the ultimate Restoration spell requires performing a ritual in which the player character is locked in a small room, stripped of all their gear and clothes, and must survive long enough being attacked by mage ghosts, or outright defeat them. The spin-off Action-Adventure game The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard has an instance of this when you are thrown into the catacombs.

These stages usually require you to find more creative means of reaching the goal, such as using cannons, finding canned weapons, or simply dodging enemy fire until a time limit runs out. The final area of the Expansion starts out like this because there isn't an Equipper, since you are now going Off the Rails and escaping from the facility. The first phase of the escape is a Stealth-Based Mission where you need to sneak past the Sanitized Octarians guarding the facility. Eventually, you find Splat Bombs and an Octo Shot, which let you fight your way to the surface.

No-Gear Level / int_a796bde8	comment	Metal Gear Solid: The game only has you face one guard like this, who is easily dealt with, and then provides an excuse as to why your equipment is all in the next room over. You're being played. They wanted you to escape and use the passkey you have to override the arming system for the nuke they can't use, thinking that you're disarming it. Being captured is part of the show, to convince you it's necessary. If the guard beats you you have to try again, so the gambit will eventually pan out. They also hid a time bomb in with the rest of your equipment. If you don't notice the new addition to your inventory and get rid of it before the timer runs out, it explodes and you die. One of the areas you travel through is filled with a bunch of (albeit deactivated) warheads that make firing guns really risky (even if they won't go up, they could leak radiation), so your Mission Control calls to note that your nanomachines are programmed to prevent you from firing guns in that room. Not like it stops the guards from shooting at you if they catch you, though. The final boss must be fought hand-to-hand. The player isn't given any of their weapons back for the escape sequence either, having to rely on a mounted gun on the back of the escape vehicle.

Just hanging inside the Tower of Eternal Flames, fire immunity or no, will randomly and permanently destroy things from your inventory (with fireproof blankets/rings of ice as a partial countermeasure). Falling down the Rift breaks a good portion of your currently carried inventory and the only way to diminish the effect is to have the few good/not too awful corruption effects among an array of nasty ones. On both occasions the smart player is forced to stash most of their rarer belongings somewhere and having to get by with only the bare essentials. Using artifact weapons/armor is an option due to their indestructible nature, but they also accelerate the player's food consumption, making starvation a real possibility.

No-Gear Level / int_a81325d3	comment	Final Fantasy: Final Fantasy VI: When you first find Terra in the World of Ruin, a monster called Humbaba (Phunbaba in the SNES localization) attacks the all-child village she cares for. She tries fighting him off with no weapons or armor equipped and promptly gets laid out on the ground, leaving your party to come to the rescue. The Cultists' Tower strips your party of every ability except for Esper-derived magic and summoning. You are expected to engage in magic duels with the enemies in the tower, which often entails bouncing spells off of party members equipped with Reflect Rings. An exception is Umaro the yeti, who does not possess the Attack command and is an entirely AI-controlled berserker. He will continue to pummel the enemies in the tower the same as he does everywhere else. In Final Fantasy VII, Yuffie steals all of your materia once you start the Wutai sidequest. (If you have a LOT of materia, she'll actually leave a few, but you're not likely to have enough at the point when the sidequest first opens unless you spent a lot of time grinding.) This is extremely devastating since materia not only gives you your abilities, but it also alters your stats. Without materia, your party is severely gimped, even with the best weapons and armor. To rub the salt in the wound, any materia you find during the side quest is immediately stolen by Yuffie on the spot. To make sure the player isn't completely screwed, enemies in the area will always drop X-Potions (fully restores HP) and attack items like Bolt Plumes so that the player can at least heal and hit multiple enemies and exploit their elemental weaknesses. Final Fantasy VIII At the beginning of Disc 2, your characters are captured and thrown in prison with all their weapons taken from them. Not really a problem since one of your characters doesn't use weapons. So it's up to him to go alone through the prison to find the weapons (conveniently left in a pile where he can get them easily). When you enter the final boss's castle, all your combat-menu commands are sealed off, with the exception of standard physical attacks. To regain use of them in the castle, the heroes must win several lesser boss battles, with each victory unlocking a combat command of the player's choice. A stat variation with the final boss, who can "blow" away the party's junctions, effectively lowering stats to miniscule amounts. Given the way magic junctioning works in this game, it is actually the most terrifying thing the boss can do. In Final Fantasy XII, you're thrown in jail at one point and stripped of your equipment, but still get to keep all the spells and techniques you've acquired so far. In World of Final Fantasy, as part of a ploy by the League of S, your two playable characters are imprisoned in the D-District Prison from Final Fantasy VIII, which is located underneath Fiagro Castle from Final Fantasy VI and which leads into a mako reactor from Final Fantasy VII. However, as part of the ploy to make it look as real as possible, they're restrained with devices that completely strip away their normal ability to use mirages, or any of the abilities associated with them. Mercifully the prison is filled with the first robotic Mirages you encounter and it's at this point you're given your first Eldboxes that let you capture them. You may not have your normal team, but you don't have to go it alone for more than a couple fights.

But there are ways to disable most of your supernatural abilities within an area, rendering it all inaccessible. This is one of the ways the game (which has no explicit stealth powers) implements a Stealth-Based Mission. There's even one mission which requires combat without gear. Fortunately, it turns out that among the many hidden triggers implanted in your mind (usually used to explain your differing abilities in cutscenes) includes one for this which loads up a set of boxing- and jujitsu- based skills, backed by the slight physical augmentation you still possess... and the Big Bad of the arc was smart enough to disarm his normally lethally-equipped security force (the point is to keep you locked down; kill you and you could respawn anywhere). The whole thing naturally culminates in a Fisticuffs Boss.

Not terribly annoying if you start a new character for it, but if you use a character that you used in the original campaign you lose all the gear it had for most of the first chapter. One favourite part of the "Hordes of the Underdark" expansion of Neverwinter Nights is the zero-magic area of the Beholder Caverns: all of the magical equipment and potions and scrolls and everything else you never realised your epic-level character relied on are reduced to its nonmagical equivalent. This includes the enhancement bonuses and healing items. And what do they throw at you? Level 3 to 5 Goddamned Bats. (Actually, non-demonic spiders, but still...) It's a refreshingly, unexpectedly NOT-scrappy level... unless you're a caster, but at that point, you're on the quadratic end of the equation anyway.

The predator is trapped, shot unconscious and shipped off to the human base for research. For obvious reasons, the scientists try to disarm their prisoners, but hesitate when taking off the arm blades of the first one induces cardiac arrest in the specimen.

In an unusual example, while the player's weapons are recoverable early on in the level, ammunition for the more powerful ones is scarce, if not nonexistent, until the player recovers the rest of their gear at the end. As a further complication, the player does not get their lost Praxis points back until the end of the level, so some hard choices may have to be made between retaining a powerful - but currently unusable - weapon, and sinking a signifiant portion of their limited number of Praxis points into inventory space, when other augmentations are more urgently needed.

No-Gear Level / int_b9c1cff1	comment	In the Prince of Persia games: Prince of Persia 2: The Shadow and the Flame has you drop your sword into a Bottomless Pit at the end of an unusual Boss Battle with a skeleton. This forces you to run from enemies until early in the next level, where you find a short sword which isn't as good. (Fortunately, you get to replace it with a better weapon two levels later.) In Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, near the end of the game, Farah steals both your sword and the Dagger of Time to go complete the mission on her own. Thankfully, you get a ridiculously powerful replacement sword a few minutes later, but not before you have to run for your life from some hulking monsters. Unfortunately, it takes longer to get the Dagger back, meaning you have to be very careful as you inch along hundred-feet high scaffolds. This actually happens twice in Prince of Persia: Warrior Within. Near the beginning the Prince's ship crashes and he loses his sword. Once washed ashore, he has to do with a piece of driftwood and whatever secondary weapon he managed to grab off the enemies (amusingly, those weapons break with use, while piece of wood doesn't.) Then after the Disc-One Final Boss, Dahaka breaks his primary sword again. And the next sequence of levels involves eventually finding a new one. Said broken sword does absolutely no damage so you're stuck using grab moves and whatever secondary weapons you can scrounge up. Probably most problematic is that you're not likely to notice that your sword is broken until you actually get into a fight and realize your sword isn't what it used to be... The whole thing is lampshaded in Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones, where the Prince laments, "Why is it that every time disaster strikes, I find myself without a proper blade?" (This reference goes all the way back to the original Prince of Persia, where you start out unarmed.) Following that, you get a tutorial about Quick Time Event stealth-kills with a random knife he picks up.

Both retrieve their gear towards the end of the level. There's also the third level where you need to search the truck for gear, or a psuedo example in the sewer level where you lose everything but Teresa gives you a .45 at the beginning. Part 3 has Gabe rescuing hostages and disarming bombs carrying only a pistol while Mara's mooks wear body armor and carry automatics. In the first bonus mission from Omega Strain, you only have a single bullet to snipe the Mafia boss with, so you must use the Neck Snap to take out any bodyguards in the way without being spotted. A couple missions later, your chopper gets shot down in Mazyr, Belarus, leaving you with only your pistol and melee weapon, and you have to find the crash site to retrieve your gear, fighting through much more heavily-armed mooks along the way. In the second bonus mission, also a stealth mission, Lian Xing is undercover and armed only with poisoned shurikens; if a guard gets too close, they will see through her disguise. Then there's the Arms Bazaar in Yemen, another stealth mission that starts you out with just a knife and a civilian disguise, although you get a silenced sniper rifle and night-vision goggles early on. Done yet again in the second Yemen mission, where you have five minutes to stealth kill all the guards in the first room without them sounding the alarm.

It doesn't become a problem until you deactivate the security system so they're not detected, because that's when the NSA agents decide to spring their plan and shoot up the place. One of the later levels has you held prisoner on an alien starship. After waking up, you realize that the only weapons you have are a throwing knife and your fists. Strangely enough, this is one of two levels that not only doesn't require, but doesn't allow, some degree of stealth. It's not much of a hassle to collect another weapon though, since you can disarm the aliens and take their blaster pistol. Be careful, though: Using all of your ammunition before destroying the computer terminals immediately fails the mission. The virtual deathmatch in Perfect Dark Zero starts you off with only a MagSec4 pistol, while Mai Hem is armed with a Superdragon assault rifle. Fortunately, if you activated the satellite dish earlier, Chandra can hack the game and send you an M-60 machine gun.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has one of the most intense levels of the game, when Soap, Ghost, and Roach fight their way through a Favela. Near the end of the level, your squad requires you evacuate. Cue running across rooftops. Of course, you miss a gap, fall off a ledge, and black out. You don't have time to reclaim your weapons, so you run half a mile through a massive slum to get back to the rooftops without the weapons you were kicking ass with earlier, with an entire militia on your tail, and make a breakneck jump to "get to the chopper", with a final leap that pays homage to the original daring escape made by Soap in Call of Duty 4 on the cargo rig. Call of Duty: Ghosts features several instances in which the player is left with at most a pistol and must either hide or take weapons from enemy troops: The very first level is technically a no gear level, as the player is at this point in the game a civilian fleeing the attack on his hometown. One segment of "Federation Day" has the player character lose his weapons after falling from a collapsing building, leaving him only with his knife. After Rorke escapes capture, the player is left to sneak past enemy patrols, armed only with a silenced pistol. The player again is left only with a pistol after being captured by Rorke. Subverted in this instance, however, as not only does the player have two highly competent AI allies, but also almost immediately has access to a rack of assault and sniper rifles - he or she even has a choice of preferred optic.

Once washed ashore, he has to do with a piece of driftwood and whatever secondary weapon he managed to grab off the enemies (amusingly, those weapons break with use, while piece of wood doesn't.) Then after the Disc-One Final Boss, Dahaka breaks his primary sword again. And the next sequence of levels involves eventually finding a new one. Said broken sword does absolutely no damage so you're stuck using grab moves and whatever secondary weapons you can scrounge up. Probably most problematic is that you're not likely to notice that your sword is broken until you actually get into a fight and realize your sword isn't what it used to be...

No-Gear Level / int_d57d722e	comment	Ōkami: During the final boss fight, all of your brush powers, the ones that you spent the whole game acquiring, are stripped away. In order to get them back, you must damage the boss the old-fashioned way — pummeling the crap out of it with melee attacks until you get them all back. This also occurs during normal gameplay if you are careless enough to run out of ink — your weapon vanishes as well, leaving you to fight with tooth and claw. Horrible during boss fights. Luckily, ink replenishes.

No-Gear Level / int_d620c56f	comment	It's worth noting that in Tomb Raider III, where you lose almost everything, med kits included, said loss is permanent. In addition, the player decides what order to complete the middle three of the five areas in, and if you pick a certain area last... Well, sucks to be you. It doesn't help that said area is listed as the last of the three in most official material (including the level select screen). The 2024 remaster changes this by having all of your collected weapons and ammo in a pile next to your pistols, thus you don't have to worry about losing everything.

However, he suddenly gets embroiled in a mission involving Sector E, the British KND, and Nigel laments that the difficulty is exacerbated by the lack of his 2x4 technology, having surrendered all of them back at the airport. Numbuh 2 also suffers this in "Operation: A.M.I.S.H.", when he is forced into hiding in Sector A, known as amish country, much to his extreme displeasure when a mysterious force is abducting Kids Next Door scientists, and his teammates can't risk him being next. He can't even use one weapon to defend himself if he is found, being forced to hand over all of his weapons to the operatives in charge of the sector; took him one hour to hand over all of his weapons. Moreover, nothing really exciting happens in amish country.

Interestingly, you start with getting two new weapons before you ever recover the old ones: The Sledgehammer and the Mutator, and the returning weapons you do get at first are the rather low-tech ones; the Carbine and the Magnum, for example. The most interesting part, however, is that you don't actually end up recovering all of your weapons by the end of the level, and you'll arrive at the next only to check your quick select and realize that they still aren't there. Fortunately, you recover them fairly quickly after this.

There is nothing you can do to prevent this, as it (and her eventual escape) is part of the plot. However, between the mission where you are captured, and the mission where you escape, you are allowed to choose your inventory. Even though inventory selection is done at her base of operations. Even assuming that the inventory screen is really just window dressing and not the home base, one wonders how it is that Ayame is able to select any weapon in her entire inventory while she's locked up in prison. Stealing back weapons she had on her when she was captured, OK. Equipping weapons that she left at home before she got captured, though, doesn't make sense.

Not really a problem since one of your characters doesn't use weapons. So it's up to him to go alone through the prison to find the weapons (conveniently left in a pile where he can get them easily). When you enter the final boss's castle, all your combat-menu commands are sealed off, with the exception of standard physical attacks. To regain use of them in the castle, the heroes must win several lesser boss battles, with each victory unlocking a combat command of the player's choice. A stat variation with the final boss, who can "blow" away the party's junctions, effectively lowering stats to miniscule amounts. Given the way magic junctioning works in this game, it is actually the most terrifying thing the boss can do.

When everything goes to hell, the only weapons you will have available to you are Yorinobu's gun (as well as Saburo's katana if you headed up to his transport on the roof) and whatever hardware the Arasaka goons you have to go through will be packing. In the main gig "Automatic Love", the player must give up their guns to enter a brothel named Clouds. Of course, the gangsters inside are armed and stealth-killing them is easy, so the player isn't unarmed for long. The side gig "Sweet Dreams" has you falling for Schmuck Bait in the form of a "preem BD" that gets you knocked out and sold to the very same scavs that you and Jackie took down in the very first mission. You then have to get your equipment back and deal with the scavs however you wish. Thankfully, while the scavs have taken your gear, they've not taken any of your cyberware or quickhacks, which you can use to ruin their day in short order before heading back to the guy who sold you the BD for a little payback. Phantom Liberty adds the main quest, "Killing Moon." Unlike the above, your cyberware is disabled for part of it, forcing a stealthy approach.

You have to break out of the box and fight your way through hordes of cultists, armed with only a step-ladder (until you find the katana on a shelf). Notably, you can avoid this by defeating them at distance and thus avoiding their gas attack.

They strip you to your boxers and tie you up. Oddly though, even though they are there to cover up the incident, they take your pants but not your camera. You lose your entire inventory during the Final Boss fight, so you're forced to used Good Old Fisticuffs. It's not that unfair, since the final boss doesn't use any weapons either.

The gear removal happens during the transition as you enter, so there's no opportunity to smuggle things in. There's also a quest for the Lucky Clover Gazette where you need to show some researchers how to deal with monsters in your underpants. One of the researchers generously offers to hold on to your things for you, including anything you might have floated in with Ultrahand, which stops you from smuggling things in.

No-Gear Level / int_f6a54e75	comment	Kingdom Hearts: Late in Kingdom Hearts, during the first visit to Hollow Bastion, Sora loses the Keyblade to Riku and must fight through Hollow Bastion using only a toy wooden sword. This is eased, however, by having the Beast fighting alongside him. You can cast spells too, but that might not help so much if you're one of those who specialized in combat and since the Keyblade also enhances your magic, that ends up weakened as well. Thankfully, you get the Keyblade back once you catch up to Riku. Happens again in Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days. Xion become unable to remember how to summon her Keyblade during a portion of the game, so in the last mission before she regains that power, Roxas lets her use his. When Xion points out that it means he doesn't have a weapon, he... improvises. And again, in Kingdom Hearts coded, when Maleficent breaks Data-Sora's Keyblade, to the point of it being a Mythology Gag now.

Beating the level once unlocks the starting location from within their locations, and you have no restrictions. Enforced with Carpathian Mountains, as you are on a moving train, with no backup. Not even any pickups either.

House of Hell: Your character is a Ridiculously Average Guy who got stranded in the titular house, full of demon-worshiping cultists and undead monsters, while unarmed and without any default equipment. You'll need to find a weapon as soon as possible before getting into a fight. Master of Chaos: You started the game as a galley slave, equipped with only a pair of hollowed-out boots hiding some gold coins. If you get into a fight with a Kraken's tentacle, you have to beat it with the ball and chain attached to your leg. In Island of the Undead you are a simple fisherman investigating the undead-infested Solani Island, armed with only a puny knife. You can obtain better weapons as the game progress on. Subverted in Trial of Champions; you start off as a slave-turned-gladiator without any weapons or equipment, but as soon as you're put into gladiatorial combat you'll be given appropriate weapons immediately.

No-Gear Level / int_fd350996	comment	In Ultima VII Part II: Serpent Isle: You are stripped of all your weapons early on by uncontrolled teleportation magic, but quickly scrape up at least serviceable weaponry. Later on, you are thrown into prison for a crime you may or may not have chosen to actually commit and stripped of all your weapons — only to discover that THIS is where the previous game's Infinity +1 Sword was teleported at the start! The weapon retains all its previous power. Your windfall doesn't last you long, though: To escape the prison, you must destroy the gem in your sword, rendering it powerless — with the demon contained within killing the Big Bad of the prison in a rather gory fashion, letting you escape. You still get some other loot in this sequence, meaning that when you get your existing equipment back you end up the richer for having been imprisoned. In the Expansion Pack for this game there are more of this: Three trials that make you fight some enemies, avoid traps and such, all alone and without any of your equipment. Every time you end one of the challenges, you'll end with better and better equipment. The kicker: The ones who sent you to the trials were your ENEMIES, they were in fact trying to get you killed, and they only managed to make you stronger, richer, and better armed for the next adventures. With enemies like those...

Luckily, in the latter (Clipping Their Wings), there's a stash of heavy weapons, which you'll definitely need. In the middle level of Allied Assault's "Behind Enemy Lines" mission, you start with only a silenced pistol, and have to infiltrate a tank encampment by stowing away on an enemy truck (unless you prefer the hard way). Luckily, there's a Kar 98 sniper rifle just after this part, and plenty of SMG's and ammo.
