The second Discworld Adventure Game and a loose sequel to the first, with a plot that could vaguely be described as an extremely loose mashup of Reaper Man and Moving Pictures. The game opens as a drunken Rincewind and the Librarian are heading home and passing by the Fools' Guild, where they discover an Assassin has set up some kind of alchemical bomb and try to mess with it. Of course, they fail — if anything, they make things worse as they cause the bomb to detonate in such a way that Death, who was coming to gather up the souls of all the dead Fools, is blown up as well. A day or so later, the Wizards notice that Death has been taken out of commission when one of their comrades, Windle Poons, dies but fails to truly die, instead wandering off as a magic-wielding zombie with a really ticked off attitude.Rincewind, on grounds of being unimportant, is sent all around Ankh-Morpork to gather up the materials needed for the Rite of AshkEnte. When he succeeds, though, they discover Death landed in XXXX and has decided to go on vacation, refusing to get back to the task of reaping souls. So, Rincewind is forced to figure out a solution, which ends up involving him as the temporary replacement for Death and getting Death a role as a "clicky" star because he's sick of people not appreciating him. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Discworld II (Video Game) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: Quite a few, even if the character adaptation can be rather... loose. For example, when trying to become the new Death, Rincewind meets a young Susan, currently playing on a certain distinctive swing... While he's not named, the Archchancellor of Unseen University tells Rincewind that the dead not resting is... unhygienic. The corpse in the mortician's office wears a placard saying "I aen't dead". Readers will already know that this is Granny Weatherwax. | |

Actor Allusion | |
| Discworld II (Video Game) / int_392372f9 | comment |
In line with the Actor Allusion to Eric Idle, one scene is a very close parody of the stoning scene from Monty Python's Life of Brian. It gets to the point where the characters start arguing about whether they're parodying the scene or just plagiarising it. | |

Loose Canon | |
| Discworld II (Video Game) / int_4378c556 | comment |
Loose Canon: Since the game stories are basically mash-ups of a couple of different books each, they're pretty obviously non-canon with the book series itself (there's no way some of the events of this game e.g Windle Poons' death and the whole Moving Picture industry, could occur separate from the books as they've already happened there at least once). However in The Science of Discworld II: The Globe (which is canon to the main books), Rincewind mentions having had a run-in with (and run-away from) elves before, which had never happened in any of his prior book appearances. Unless it was some undescribed Noodle Incident that Pratchett never actually wrote about (admittedly possible given the breadth of Rincewind's adventures), this game is the only time Rincewind has ever encountered elves. | |

Moon Logic Puzzle | |
| Discworld II (Video Game) / int_558ae6f6 | comment |
Moon Logic Puzzle: Some of the puzzles have very obscure solutions, although the game gives a lot more help than the original. Perhaps the example most complained about is getting the bottle from Mrs. Cake so you can finally trap Foul Old Ron's Vile Smell as one of the ingredients for the Rite. You need to listen to how she talks and recognize that she has her precognition switched on, then use a specific order of speech options to always give the right questions to her answers. Stealing the croquet mallets. You need to swap them with a hammerhead shark, a flamingo and a pelican. The first makes sense within the game's way too literal logic, the second requires knowledge of a certain English classic, but the latter makes no sense even in context and the only hint is easy to miss. If you look at the stunned wading bird before you pick it up, Rincewind declares something to the line of "I've heard of stunned mullets, but never a stunned mallet!". | |

Fetch Quest: Frequently used straight, as is standard for the genre, but defied at one point. Rincewind goes into a lengthy tirade about how he'll be expected to go on such a quest, and eventually demands that the character just hands him over the key. After the character obliges, we discover that the Locked Door was on a false wall and that he could simply have walked around it. | |

You Don't Look Like You: Windle Poons strangely looks very different in this game than in the first: he is much smaller, has a brownish beard and black eyes, and is much less senile, capable of holding actual conversations. This may be a nod to Reaper Man, where Windle as a magically animated corpse is stronger and clearer-minded than he was as a 103-year-old man. Or maybe it's just due to the Art Shift. | |

DIY Dentistry | |
| Discworld II (Video Game) / int_bcd082db | comment |
DIY Dentistry: You're required to pull a troll's tooth after it is damaged by a stone candy. You need to find a rope to remove it with the help of a nearby doorknob, but can keep the solid diamond tooth afterwards. | |

Giant Space Flea Out Of Nowhere: The Elf Queen using the magic of Holy Wood to manifest as a giant and goes on a rampage makes little sense, unless you read Moving Pictures. Still it comes off as this after the whole plot focused on Death. Windle Poons (finally dead) lampshades this himself in the ending. | |

Informed Attribute | |
| Discworld II (Video Game) / int_c3448a6f | comment |
Informed Attribute: A line from Weatherwax implies that the Elf Queen is buxom enough to distract people. When you see her in person she's rather slim, and her dress doesn't even have a glaring cleavage of sorts. | |

Ass Shove | |
| Discworld II (Video Game) / int_c45c9fcd | comment |
Ass Shove: The mortician uses a rather large thermometer to determine if Rincewind is really dead. Also, Rincewind needs to do this to himself with some ice to fool the temperature check. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Discworld II (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Many. For example, the Rite of AshkEnte is portrayed as using the Day-Oh song, and the ending is a parody/reversal of King Kong (1933). In line with the Actor Allusion to Eric Idle, one scene is a very close parody of the stoning scene from Monty Python's Life of Brian. It gets to the point where the characters start arguing about whether they're parodying the scene or just plagiarising it. Dibbler's original idea for the Death Becomes Himself moving picture (Death sweats away as a wharf worker by day, but dances in a topless club by night) is a rip-off of Flashdance. And of course, the title is a reference to Death Becomes Her. The intro is a parody of Lethal Weapon 3 with Rincewind and the Librarian discovering a bomb strapped to a cart in the fools guild, finishing up with Rincewind turning the wrong flask over, causing the timer to speed up and the bomb to explode, destroying the place. | |

Dude Looks Like a Lady | |
| Discworld II (Video Game) / int_ca4e037 | comment |
Dude Looks Like a Lady: The beard will probably be enough of a clue for most players, but many characters assume Rincewind is female on account of his dress. Dwarves invert this. Bearded dwarven women indistinguishable from men are a running gag in the books. | |

Expressive Skull | |
| Discworld II (Video Game) / int_e27bdc50 | comment |
Expressive Skull: Death and other animated skeletons do occasionally exhibit the ability to contort their eyebrow area and eye sockets to show some degree of emotion, as well as being able to blink with eyelids that are apparently part of the skull. It is kept toned down though, as they generally keep a neutral expression. | |

Bewitched Amphibians | |

Bewitched Amphibians: Discussed. When Rincewind asks whether he has to go on the quest to bring Death back, the Archchancellor responds: "Only if you don't want to spend the rest of your life staring out across the pond at all the other toads." Holy Wood's wardrobe department has a frog suit, but Rincewind refuses to wear it. | |
