Introduced in 1985, Atari's Gauntlet was based on the earlier Dandy, written for the Atari 8-Bit Computers. Up to four heroes — a warrior, a valkyrie, a wizard, and an elf — went Dungeon Crawling, viewed from above in a scrolling window, collecting treasure and defeating monsters. Each player had a joystick and two buttons, labeled "Fire" and "Magic"; the latter button activated a potion which weakened or destroyed all enemies on the screen. Each hero had a specialty: Thor the Warrior excels in melee combat, Thyra the Valkyrie had the best armor, Merlin the Wizard can destroy all hostile targets with magic, and Questor the Elf trumped everyone in agility.To keep you feeding coins, Atari invented the "Wizard Needs Food Badly" trope: While food provides healing, your character loses one Hit Point every second under any and all circumstances, basically guaranteeing a Game Over at some point. (For obvious reasons, this tends to be averted for the console releases.) Mook Makers are another signature trope of the series; they need to be destroyed if you don't want to be swamped. Interchangeable Antimatter Keys need to be collected to get where you're going. You can shoot food and magic potion pickups, which is rarely as beneficial as picking them up, so it pays to be careful with your attacks. It had voice-acting, in extremely limited quantities: in addition to damage grunts from the four characters, there was also a Narrator whose announcements were assembled dynamically from pre-existing snippets: "Wizard needs food, badly" was a famous one. Finally, it was one of the first games to support four players at once, and this emphasis on social multiplayer was probably the biggest part of its success. | |

Damage Discrimination | |
| Gauntlet (Video Game) / int_12478d23 | comment |
Damage Discrimination: Demons and Lobbers in the first two games completely avert this, as their attacks will hurt everyone and everything. Also averted on certain levels in the second game, though players are notified beforehand when their attacks can stun or hurt each other. Ghosts, acid puddles, and Death completely play this straight. | |

All There in the Manual | |
| Gauntlet (Video Game) / int_17ce80aa | comment |
All There in the Manual: the manual for the Amstrad PC version note Unknown whether this is true for the other PC versions had an interesting note buried in the small print: if the characters don't move for thirty seconds, the monster generators will release all the monsters they have left at once. But if the characters don't move for a further thirty seconds, all the walls turn into exits! To escape any level, all you had to do was transport into a closed room with no monster generator, and keep your hands off the joystick for a full minute — in fact, the Amstrad PC version had one level where this was the only way to finish it. (it's theorized it was designed this way specifically to reward players who bothered to read the manual all the way through) | |

Multiple Endings | |
| Gauntlet (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77 | comment |
Multiple Endings: Gauntlet IV has two different endings in its quest mode, which is determined by your answer to the final boss's question. If you answer "Yes" to the question of whether you will enter the land of eternal youth, you are forced to take the final boss's place as the immortal dragon guarding the castle. The original final boss dies, and with you forever trapped in the castle, more adventurers journey into its depths to uncover its secrets, but none of them ever return. If you answer "No", the townsfolk are surprised at your refusal of eternal life, but nonetheless are eager to hear of your exploits. Over time, the foreknowledge you provide of the castle's prize causes adventurers to lose interest in exploring it: the mystery surrounding it, and the appeal of venturing into it, are gone. Eventually, the castle lays undisturbed forevermore. | |

Unwinnable by Design | |
| Gauntlet (Video Game) / int_1bd4c0bf | comment |
Unwinnable by Design: Gauntlet NES was meant to utilize the password system at its maximum. Here are the most notorious examples: The game forces you to get all of the Clue "?" levels completed. Miss one and you are forced to guess that letter; getting it wrong before approaching room 00 gives you a Non Standard Game Over. Room 80 has an exit that places you to the title screen. The instruction manual warns you about this. Room 94 has an exit that leads to room 95-96. The only problem is that room 96 is a dead end without any exits. | |

Stripperiffic: Female characters in Legends and Dark Legacy, especially the secret character Falconess. The outfits get less revealing as the character levels up, but not by much; the Sorceress gains a single pant leg, for example. Inverted by the PC version, in which Thor seems to have little regard for clothes, and Thyra runs around in full plate armor. | |

All or Nothing: The treasure rooms. Make it to the exit before time expires, every treasure chest collected is added to your score. Fail to make it out, you score nothing. Same with the Secret Rooms in the home ports of Legends and Dark Legacy: You must collect all of the coins within the time limit in order to unlock its secret character, or get nothing at all. | |

Mythology Gag: Morgan notes that his food supply is running low. Orlando quips "Does this mean the wizard needs food badly?" Sumner provides each of the four heroes with signet rings. These rings transform them into their respective secret characters: Minotaur for Warrior, Falconess for Valkyrie, Jackal for Wizard and Tigress for Elf. | |

Trial-and-Error Gameplay | |
| Gauntlet (Video Game) / int_29c50e28 | comment |
Trial-and-Error Gameplay: NES version: Room 94 (the room that's shaped like a woman's body). The lower left exit eventually leads to a room with no exit, making the game Unwinnable. The lower right leads to a room where the only exit sends you all the way back to Room 32. The correct exit is hidden in a block on the far left. If you take a wrong exit, you'll have to start over at Room 79 and work your way back. There is no indication of which exit goes where. Literally trying to figure out the vault password for level 00. There are a few guides online that can decipher what the password is, but back in the day, you had to stack yourself with written passwords like crazy. You can retrieve the password clues by going to the clue levels; miss any of the clue levels and the game becomes much more difficult to figure out how to get the vault password by getting a ton of game overs. | |

Co-Op Multiplayer | |
| Gauntlet (Video Game) / int_3011ef28 | comment |
Gauntlet: The Seven Sorrows (2005) — Sequel to Gauntlet: Dark Legacy released directly to PS2 and Xbox. Despite adding online support for Co-Op Multiplayer, it was not well received due to its obvious Excuse Plot and shallow gameplay (which is saying something in a Hack and Slash title) and has become the series' Franchise Killer. | |

Game-Breaking Bug | |
| Gauntlet (Video Game) / int_33ca811a | comment |
Game-Breaking Bug: In the NES version of the original game, a password is required to enter the final level. Passwords are also used in lieu of save files, which was common on the NES. Speedrunners know that the first letter of the save file password determines what the vault password is, and they even have tables for it. Woe to you if the first letter of your save file password should happen to be an A — bad luck with some of the later treasure rooms can deny you a needed health refill, forcing a game over, and because A passwords are not accepted, you will be unable to continue! Non speedrunners have a different bug to deal with. if you collect over 2000 treasures (not an uncommon event when trying over and over to beat World 5, since all world five passwords start you at the start instead of where they should) your password is now invalid. Better hope you have a backup. | |

Squishy Wizard: In the original game, the Wizard takes full damage, but his magic potions destroy all enemies on screen while it may take other characters two or three uses to defeat the stronger ones. Other characters have a reduction up to 30%. The Sorceress from Dark Legacy also counts as this. | |

Pun-Based Title | |
| Gauntlet (Video Game) / int_3eb0f889 | comment |
Pun-Based Title: The game from which Gauntlet is derived, Dandy =D&D. Also Gauntlet itself, which has at least two possible explanations: A gauntlet (from the French) is a long glove which covers the wrist and the hand, such as all well dressed fighters in the Middle Ages wore. "Running the gauntlet" (originally "running the gantlopp / gantlope," from the Swedish for "lane," and later "running the gantlet note The "gantlet" spelling still sometimes appears in American English, e.g. Doom II Level 3, but has disappeared from British English. , before becoming its modern form) was a medieval military punishment wherein the offender was forced to run down a "lane" of his fellow soldiers, while they beat him with sticks. This meaning well suits running around in narrow-passaged mazes fighting off enemies. | |

Elemental Powers: These applied to the potions and the shot power-ups. Some of the final bosses had elemental weaknesses, so going to the store and stocking up on the right element for your shot power before the boss fight could give you more damaging attacks against that particular boss until the power-ups ran out. | |

It's a Wonderful Failure: If you die and refuse to continue in Legends and Dark Legacy, you’ll get a scene where Sumner is shown frantically reading from his tome in the Tower. Suddenly, a wall of fire erupts from the Desecrated Temple’s door behind him. Skorne’s giant arm then bursts through, latches on to Sumner and yanks him in to his death. | |

Sealed Evil in a Can | |
| Gauntlet (Video Game) / int_485eb589 | comment |
Sealed Evil in a Can: Death hiding in a barrel or chest; he usually didn't come out until the chest was unlocked or the barrel broken. Using a magic potion on Death while he was still in a chest turned him into an apple starting with Legends. If he was in a barrel, though, the barrel broke and he fled if you used the potion. One of the nasty surprises from the chest was what looked like a barrel head with yellow lensed glasses and a crown of TNT in Dark Legacy: If you opened a chest and HE came out, RUN! You only had a few seconds before he exploded and took out the area around him. | |

Level Grinding | |
| Gauntlet (Video Game) / int_549cd62d | comment |
Level Grinding: In Legends/Dark Legacy you can go back to previously played worlds, especially if you missed a Runestone or Boss Item in a particular world (which is when Skorne laughs wickedly). But to get to the Level 25 and Level 50 you might need to replay worlds with Black Death and a halo. In some versions of Dark Legacy, the Spider Queen gives tons of experience, even more than the bosses that come after her for some reason. Once a character is strong enough to be able to beat her without much trouble, she becomes a great source of experience and gold. | |

Stereotypical Nerd: Lampshaded. In The Third Encounter, you can pick "Nerd" as your class and your character will be dressed in the stereotypical style (glasses, pocket protector) and carries a textbook with him. He's effectively a Joke Character, as he has the lowest Strength and Missile stats, and only marginally better Speed than some other options. | |

Not His Sled: In Gauntlet Legends, Skorne is the Big Bad for the entire game, from start to finish. In Dark Legacy, however, Garm turns out to be Not Quite Dead and absorbs Skorne's power after his defeat in the underworld, ursuping Skorne as the villain of the game's final realm. | |

Speedrun | |
| Gauntlet (Video Game) / int_5c971dc9 | comment |
In the NES version of the original game, a password is required to enter the final level. Passwords are also used in lieu of save files, which was common on the NES. Speedrunners know that the first letter of the save file password determines what the vault password is, and they even have tables for it. Woe to you if the first letter of your save file password should happen to be an A — bad luck with some of the later treasure rooms can deny you a needed health refill, forcing a game over, and because A passwords are not accepted, you will be unable to continue! | |

The Smurfette Principle | |
| Gauntlet (Video Game) / int_5d753b19 | comment |
The Smurfette Principle: Thyra the Valkyrie was the only woman in the original game and all sequels up until Legends, and it took the removal of the Elf to introduce a new female character in the form of the Archer (a female Elf). Dark Legacy added one more in the Sorceress. This, mind, is not counting the numerous secret characters in those latter games. | |

Stationary Enemy: The baddies have archers, often perched in a compartment or tower with no direct route to engage them.

Secret Character | |
| Gauntlet (Video Game) / int_6bff99d4 | comment |
Secret Character: Every character in Legends and Dark Legacy had unlockable forms that were humanoid mythological creatures. They were all pretty much the same character, but they got better bonuses to their preferred stat (Anubis / Medusa gets better magic, Minotaur gets even higher strength, etc.). Furthermore, Sumner could be unlocked and acted as a super powerful Wizard with maxed out stats. For the Dark Legacy unlockables you had to get all the coins under a time limit in certain levels, and if you did the unlockable characters had at least 50 points more in their stats than their "normal versions." There are special codes you can put in as your name in the PS2 and GameCube versions to play as alternate characters. Among them were a waitress Sorceress (complete with throwing plates!), a football hurling quarterback Knight, and an alien Wizard. In the end you've got a total of 25 playable secret characters, outside of the normal secret characters. | |

Cap | |
| Gauntlet (Video Game) / int_834427cd | comment |
Cap: Gauntlet caps leveling up when a player reaches 1600 treasures. However, reach past 3200 and passwords generated afterwards will be invalid. Gauntlet and Gauntlet II both have a seven-digit score cap, which is extremely generous, considering that few items and enemies score more than 100 points when killed or collectednote Death being a major exception, having a max value of 8,000. However, that hasn't stopped people from reaching ten million. Additionally, the first two games in the series limited players to any combination of twelve keys and/or potions—e.g., if a player has eight keys, only four potions can be carried. | |

Life Drain | |
| Gauntlet (Video Game) / int_84685817 | comment |
Life Drain: Most incarnations of Death sap 100~200 Health, including Legends. In Dark Legacy, red-robed Death does the life-stealing. If you have the Anti-Death Halo, you steal Health from Death. Level Drain: Black-robed Death in Dark Legacy (arcade and consoles) steals Character Levels. If you're armed with the halo, the tide is reversed, which is actually one of the best ways to rack up easy level-ups. Level Grinding: In Legends/Dark Legacy you can go back to previously played worlds, especially if you missed a Runestone or Boss Item in a particular world (which is when Skorne laughs wickedly). But to get to the Level 25 and Level 50 you might need to replay worlds with Black Death and a halo. In some versions of Dark Legacy, the Spider Queen gives tons of experience, even more than the bosses that come after her for some reason. Once a character is strong enough to be able to beat her without much trouble, she becomes a great source of experience and gold. | |

Dolled-Up Installment | |
| Gauntlet (Video Game) / int_89499ccf | comment |
Gauntlet: The Third Encounter (1990) — A Dolled-Up Installment for the Atari Lynx. It was originally developed by Epyx as a new IP titled Time Quests and Treasure Chests, but was repurposed as a Gauntlet sequel by Atari for brand recognition purposes. The objective is to retrieve the extraterrestrial Star Gem from an ancient castle guarded by monsters powered by the jewel. The game consists of 40 levels and features eight classes to play as, with the Valkyrie and the Wizard being the only returning classes from the original Gauntlet (the rest of the roster being unusual archetypes such as an android, a punk rocker and a gunfighter). | |

Color-Coded Elements | |
| Gauntlet (Video Game) / int_8f788a30 | comment |
Legends/Dark Legacy also has the magic of a potion be determined by what color it is: green is acid, yellow is light, blue is lightning and red is fire. Alchemy Is Magic: The Strength-type and Magic-type groups could under certain circumstances use the potions for a secondary transformation effect in Legends/Dark Legacy: The Fighter/Minotaur/Dwarf/Ogre could turn junk (worth 10 gold coins) in the area into a chest of pure silver with a magic potion at level 25 worth 100 gold coins, then at level 50 could turn it into a chest of pure gold for 200 gold coins. (Keep in mind, though, a potion is 250 gold in the shop.) In contrast, the Wizard/Jackal/Sorceress/Medusa could turn poisoned food in the area into good food: a poison apple (green with two crossbones sticking out of it and causes you to lose 50 health) into a good red apple for 50 health at level 25, while at level 50 they could also turn poison meat (a green-brown drumstick with two bones sticking out of it that causes you to lose 100 health) into a good drumstick good for 100 health (which normally costs 250 coins in the shop). | |

It doesn't end there. After defeating the 3-headed dragon (Hydra), you may see an exit that should end in completing the game, right? Wrong. Do that and you get a Non Standard Game Over.

Continuity Reboot | |
| Gauntlet (Video Game) / int_979f41a | comment |
Gauntlet Legends (1998) — The first arcade installment since Gauntlet II, it ran on Midway's Vodoo Banshee-based Vegas board. It has an air of the Continuity Reboot about it; the Hack and Slash nature was left unchanged, and there were still four players, but the levels were quite different, and the controls of Weak, Strong, and Turbo attacks, the latter being a Limit Break that charged every time you used one of the other two attacks. It also added persistent characters: When you started (or joined) a game, you could enter your initials, and it would then load up the characters that that particular machine had stored for those initials. Therefore, you could play for a while, have your character level up a bit, but if you had to leave, you could then come back later and have your character the same level as it was before. The console versions (released for the Nintendo 64, PlayStation and Dreamcast) just used memory card saves. | |

Sarcasm Mode: The narrator in the first game tends to do this. "That was a heroic effort." Killing Golems often require a lot of backing up and shooting. Upon victory, the narrator remarks "I have never seen such bravery". In Dark Legacy the Jester goes: "I'm so happy for you" if in multiplayer you steal an item HE was trying to get. The other straighter forward voices go: "Thou art greedy" or "Pardon me, but that was Mine!" | |

It should be noted that the ports themselves also starkly differ from each other. This is most obvious with the Dreamcast port vs the N64 and Playstation as the former includes more stark changes that bring it closer to the arcade (namely including the Desert and Forest realms, which were replaced with the Town and Ice realms) along with new character classes that would later appear in Dark Legacy, but the latter two versions have differences between themselves as well. | |

The female Archer's very minimalist (esp. the green's Navel-Deep Neckline) outfits, and appears to be topless in both beach party postcards. The Sorceress exudes Hot Witch by strutting like a supermodel and leans forward whenever she shoots magic bolts. The secret heroine Falconess (any color) walks around with her half-human female form wearing very meager pieces of clothing. | |

Inexplicably Preserved Dungeon Meat: A staple of the series. Apparently when Red Warrior needs food badly it doesn't matter where it's been. In Dark Legacy there were green drumsticks with crossbones in them and a bite taken out of them. These were poisoned meat that could take away 100 Health, and unless you were a Wizard or a Sorceress of at least Level 50 you had to avoid them (if you were that Wizard / Sorceress of at least Level 50, though, you could use a potion to turn it into a healthy drumstick for 100 Health). | |

Global Currency: Gold coins are the local currency. In Legends and Dark Legacy junk is worth 10 gold. Chests of treasure vary in value depending on what's in it: Pure silver is 100 gold coins, pure gold is 200 gold, and pure gems are 300 gold. Mix of silver and gold is worth 150 gold coins, and mix of gold and gems are 250 gold. After chests, half a barrel of gold is 500 gold coins, and a whole barrel is 1000 gold. Killing a boss uses Big Coins: a Copper Big Coin is 500 gold, a Silver Big Coin is 1000 gold, and a Gold Big Coin is 5000 gold. | |

Critical Annoyance: Aside from announcements when your health reaches certain checkpoints, the arcade version produces a dull alert tone to advise that a player is running low on health. | |

Poison Mushroom: Some food or potion is poisonous and inflicts damage rather than healing. However, Gauntlet II permits shooting poisoned items in order to slow down the monsters. | |

Developer's Foresight | |
| Gauntlet (Video Game) / int_d24ed873 | comment |
Developer's Foresight: It's quite possible that players may find themselves in a maze full of locked doors with insufficient keys to unlock them all, or which is so complicated that they can't find the exit (or where the path to the exit is blocked by a key or potion which they can't pick up because their inventory is full, hence can't get past). Because of this, after a certain amount of health is lost all locked doors will spring open, and after still more health is lost, all walls turn to exits. | |

Alchemy Is Magic | |
| Gauntlet (Video Game) / int_d251db87 | comment |
Alchemy Is Magic: The Strength-type and Magic-type groups could under certain circumstances use the potions for a secondary transformation effect in Legends/Dark Legacy: The Fighter/Minotaur/Dwarf/Ogre could turn junk (worth 10 gold coins) in the area into a chest of pure silver with a magic potion at level 25 worth 100 gold coins, then at level 50 could turn it into a chest of pure gold for 200 gold coins. (Keep in mind, though, a potion is 250 gold in the shop.) In contrast, the Wizard/Jackal/Sorceress/Medusa could turn poisoned food in the area into good food: a poison apple (green with two crossbones sticking out of it and causes you to lose 50 health) into a good red apple for 50 health at level 25, while at level 50 they could also turn poison meat (a green-brown drumstick with two bones sticking out of it that causes you to lose 100 health) into a good drumstick good for 100 health (which normally costs 250 coins in the shop). | |

Color-Coded Multiplayer | |
| Gauntlet (Video Game) / int_d5a66181 | comment |
Color-Coded Multiplayer: The color-coding in the original Gauntlet corresponded to each character class, but since the characters are fixed by control panel in the 4-player version anyway, it still applies to to some extent. They were assigned from left to right in the following order: Thor the Warrior is Red, Thyra the Valkyrie is Blue, Merlin the Wizard is Yellow, and Questor the Elf is Green. Gauntlet II, which allows multiple players to be the same characters class, has the player's colors fixed in the same order. This means that only red and blue are available in the 2-player version of the cabinet, whereas the 4-player version adds yellow and green. In the arcade versions of both, Gauntlet Legends and Gauntlet: Dark Legacy, the player order goes yellow, blue, red and green. Each color is meant to represent a different race/kingdom that the player character hails from. However, the console ports ditch the fixed coloring and instead allow each player to choose their colors as an alternate costume and hair/skin color after selecting a class. Gauntlet 2014 went back to using unique characters for each player. It features all four characters from the original arcade game and adds Lilith the Necromancer as a fifth character via DLC, who is clad in purple. Not only is the character's UI appropriately tinted, but in the PS4 version the DualShock 4 controller's LED panel switches to the appropriate color. | |

Reformulated Game | |
| Gauntlet (Video Game) / int_d639cf57 | comment |
Reformulated Game: The home ports of Legends are drastically different from the arcade to the point that players are confused why certain levels are different. The console Legends adopted the arcade's Mountain and Castle with Dark Legacy's Province/Sky and Ice. The arcade versions have much simpler goals of collecting all 12 or 13 Rune Stones, but the consoles added even more monsters and quest items to unlock other realms like obelisks and crystals. Dark Legacy's Battlefield realm existed in the arcade and consoles, but not in the original Legends. In the arcades, by having a Level 10 hero, you may unlock his/her corresponding secret character. In the consoles, you have to collect all tokens from the secret character's specific Treasure Room: You are awarded nothing if you miss one token. Arcade version items run for a limited time once they are picked up. In consoles, items are stocked in an inventory and can be toggled on or off whenever you want. A portal brings you to specific stages in the console versions. In the arcade, each realm is an entire stage, so if you miss a certain stone or item from a sub-stage, you can't go back unless you restart the whole realm from the beginning. It should be noted that the ports themselves also starkly differ from each other. This is most obvious with the Dreamcast port vs the N64 and Playstation as the former includes more stark changes that bring it closer to the arcade (namely including the Desert and Forest realms, which were replaced with the Town and Ice realms) along with new character classes that would later appear in Dark Legacy, but the latter two versions have differences between themselves as well. | |

Our Dragons Are Different | |
| Gauntlet (Video Game) / int_d88e125e | comment |
Our Dragons Are Different: The NES version had a three-headed dragon as the final boss. In the arcade version of Gauntlet II, the dragon is a rare enemy that guards various areas by shooting fire for a long distance (or rapidly cooking players that try getting too close). Dark Legacy had one as the boss of the Warrior's region. The story mode has five bosses that are increasingly powerful dragons. The last one is the cursed adventurer that beat all five before you. Literally. | |

Holy Hand Grenade | |
| Gauntlet (Video Game) / int_e42c07e6 | comment |
Holy Hand Grenade: The magic potions, often called "bomb potions". They affect the whole area of the screen, but their effect is based on: The magic ability of the player using them: the Warrior/Dwarf has the worst magic and the Wizard/Sorceress the best. Legends/Dark Legacy also has the magic of a potion be determined by what color it is: green is acid, yellow is light, blue is lightning and red is fire. Alchemy Is Magic: The Strength-type and Magic-type groups could under certain circumstances use the potions for a secondary transformation effect in Legends/Dark Legacy: The Fighter/Minotaur/Dwarf/Ogre could turn junk (worth 10 gold coins) in the area into a chest of pure silver with a magic potion at level 25 worth 100 gold coins, then at level 50 could turn it into a chest of pure gold for 200 gold coins. (Keep in mind, though, a potion is 250 gold in the shop.) In contrast, the Wizard/Jackal/Sorceress/Medusa could turn poisoned food in the area into good food: a poison apple (green with two crossbones sticking out of it and causes you to lose 50 health) into a good red apple for 50 health at level 25, while at level 50 they could also turn poison meat (a green-brown drumstick with two bones sticking out of it that causes you to lose 100 health) into a good drumstick good for 100 health (which normally costs 250 coins in the shop). Whether the potions are picked up, then used with the "magic" button or just simply shot. A picked-up-and-used potion is stronger than one simply shot at. Also, in both Legends and Dark Legacy the potions can be thrown to blast a group of enemies either adjacent to the player, or below him/her if the player is on a ledge or area above them. In Gauntlet II, some potions were poison, and shooting them slows the enemies. | |

The Lich is this for Dark Legacy, especially for people expecting something like the Dragon. As one of two bosses that moves around, the Lich is tough, he has a leaping slam that lets him close the distance quick, and has some surprisingly powerful attacks with wide ranges that'll cut unseasoned heroes down to size like greased lightning. | |

Disc-One Final Dungeon: The Desecrated Temple is the area accessed by beating all of the world bosses, features enemies from all four realms and has Skorne as the boss. Of course the appearance of a 13th rune stone on the UI around the game along with the final gate (which, in the Dreamcast version, has a massive bust of Skorne over it) means that a player likely won't be too fooled. Dark Legacy turns the Underworld into this although, again, players can find the teleporters for the final set of levels regardless. | |

| Gauntlet (Video Game) / int_fc57cbb1 | comment |
Destroyable Items: It is possible to accidentally shoot your food. Blue potions can also be shot; in Gauntlet II, shooting poison caused monsters to slow down for a few seconds. Legends and Dark Legacy had green poison gas releasing barrels (which hurts players and turns food poisonous), and as red explosive barrels (damaging nearby players and destroys adjacent items). Barrels can also be split open. Potions could be shot in which they had a lesser effect of elemental magic than if a character used one from inventory. | |

Cutscene Power to the Max: Skorne seems significantly more powerful in the intro FMV of Legends and Dark Legacy, where he pounds down Garm with a few decisive blows. When fought in-game, he behaves much like any other boss, content to hurl ranged attacks at you while soaking your own. Granted, Skorne can still pound your character for horrific damage. | |
