"Hi, I'm all over TV Tropes."An Adventurer Is You!The Kingdom of Loathing (2003) is a browser-based MMORPG originally by Zack "Jick" Johnson and Josh "Mr. Skullhead" Nite, though the latter has since left the company. The overarching plot of the game, such as it is, involves defeating the aptly-named Naughty Sorceress, who has imprisoned the beloved ruler of the Kingdom, King Ralph XI, in a prism (this is known in-game as his being "imprismed"). But first you have to level up your character through the usual rigmarole of Fetch Quests, monster hunting, and Level Grinding. There are several things that make this game fairly unique among MMORPGs, however:It is completely free, though donations are accepted, appreciated, and encouraged by the offering of a powerful accessory for a ten-dollar donation, which in turn can be traded for a powerful "item of the month", which is only available for a limited time, but it can also be bought from other players for in-game currency.The game's graphics consist almost entirely of stick figures and other crude black-and-white drawings.The game possesses a sense of humor that is at times snarky, scathingly satirical, and loaded with pop culture references, including parodies of other RPGs. For example, the Dungeons of Doom are homages to the game NetHack, while another zone is the "Penultimate Fantasy Airship", with monsters that take the piss out of Square Enix games (mainly Final Fantasy VII and Dragon Quest). In fact, it has been described as "World of Warcraft as written by Monty Python and illustrated by xkcd".The last one is the biggest draw of the game for many. For example, the tutorial quest involves doing tasks for a talking bird known as the (wait for it) Toot Oriole. "Meat" is the currency of the realm, simultaneously parodying and justifying the RPG tradition of monsters dropping money when defeated. Monsters include not only such traditional fantasy fare as goblins, gnolls, and vampires, but also hippies, Orcish frat boys, Ninja Snowmen, ASCII smileys, and zmobies (which are like zombies, except they were misspelled by a magical accident) and a late-game quest involves a long and complex search for a device literally called the Holy MacGuffin. Then there's the six character classes: Seal Clubbers (Offensive Muscle), barbarians who "hail from the frigid Northlands, because one character class always hails from the frigid Northlands". They fight viciously in combat, building up Fury to power up some of their attacks, and can summon demonic seals so they can club them. They can also learn to craft advanced weapons and Dual Wield. Turtle Tamers (Defensive Muscle), heavily-armored warriors who can cast buffs to improve their (and others') defense and affinity with their familiars, use their armor as weapons, and channel the Great Turtle Spirits to give them an edge in combat. They can also learn to craft advanced armor, and with the right equipment can tame turtles (which can be used as combat items, to make armor, or even become familiars, depending on the turtle in question). Pastamancers (Offensive Mysticality), spellcaster/chefs who attack with powerful spells like "Ravioli Shurikens" and "Cannelloni Cannon" and summon food-themed spirit entities known as "Pasta Thralls". They can also learn to prepare delicious noodle dishes. Saucerors (Defensive Mysticality), spellcasters who fight by conjuring blasts of hot and cold sauces and casting sauce curses upon their enemies. They're also able to conjure "saucespheres", gather Soul Sauce from enemies to power special skills, and brew sauces for Pastamancers to cook with or potions to buff themselves (or others). Disco Bandits (Offensive Moxie), rogues who fight with knives or ranged weapons, along with a variety of debilitating dance moves. They are the only class specializing in booze, capable of learning the Advanced, Superhuman, and Salacious Cocktailcrafting skills. Accordion Thieves (Defensive Moxie), bards who use their ill-gotten instruments in combat as well as to cast an astounding variety of buffs on themselves and others by playing songs (like "the Moxious Madrigal" and "the Power Ballad of the Arrowsmith").The game mechanics revolve around three stats: Muscle (the primary stat of Seal Clubbers and Turtle Tamers, boosts HP, melee accuracy and melee damage), Mysticality (the primary stat of Pastamancers and Saucerors, boosts MP and spell power), and Moxie (the primary stat of Disco Bandits and Accordion Thieves, boosts evasion, damage reduction, ranged accuracy and ranged damage). Players get a number of "turns" each day, called "Adventures", and can get more turns through food and booze. Players level up their character by earning experience points (in the form of "sub-stat" points) as they adventure, either from slaying monsters, from certain non-combat adventures, or again from eating and drinking. One can also gather a variety of helpful monsters known as "familiars", which do everything from fighting to healing you to helping you get more experience, meat, or items from monsters, to absolutely nothing, to increasing the challenge of the game by hindering you constantly.Now, we could go on (and on and on and on and on...), but why not instead you experience the game for yourself? And while you're at it, why not check out the 2017 spinoff West of Loathing as well? Yeah, you heard us right, a spinoff, same universe, same style, same dev team, and same sense of humor. God has heard your prayers. He further delivers with the Film Noir (and Cosmic Horror)-themed Shadows Over Loathing, released in 2022. | |

Gatling Good | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_128e4ba8 | comment |
Gatling Good: Granny Hackleton uses a gatling gun against you when you fight her at the end of one of the harder telegraph quests. If you defeat her, you can claim her gatling gun as a reward. Even better, the gun comes with a wheelchair wheel attached, so you only need one hand to use it! Yes, that means Dual Wielding gatling guns is possible. | |

Abnormal Ammo | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_12c65d9b | comment |
Abnormal Ammo: Pastamancers can cast spells that hit enemies with things like creepy little girls, Ex-girlfriends, or foul language. The Gift-A-Pult allows you to fire any Gift item (something that cannot be bought or sold in the mall). Designer Handbags, Valentine's Day Gifts and other Gift-A-Pults are the strongest ammo. Some of the "ordinary" (loosest possible sense of the word) weapons have this as well. To cite one example, you can build a crossbow which fires ghuolash, which is food (that is, if you're willing to eat the flesh of an undead monster that eats corpses.) | |

Goggles Do Nothing | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_12de0775 | comment |
The maiden wig, the chef's hat, and the beer goggles are low-level equipment which aren't very powerful, especially since the Goggles Do Nothing. But, they are needed to make the Clockwork Maid, the Chef-in-the-Box, and the Bartender-in-the box, which give you 8 more adventures per day, allow you to cook fancy ingredients without using an adventure, and allow you to mix fancy cocktails without using an adventure, respectively. For those who don't play, these are must-haves for any obsessive gamer. You can also sell them for quite a lot of meat. | |

The Artifact | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_13d7a65e | comment |
The Artifact: Updates to the main quests occasionally leave elements of the original quests as sidequests or secondary ways to complete the quest. This leads to the occasional odd moment, like the end of the Level 9 Quest awkwardly pointing you to the old Level 9 Quest. The dusty bottles of wine found in the Spookyraven Wine Cellar were originally part of a puzzle for the Level 11 Quest, which involved using special eyeglasses to read secret glyphs on the bottles. The revamped quest no longer uses them, but the glyphs can still be seen when the eyeglasses are equipped. | |

Crate Expectations | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_14e569d5 | comment |
Crate Expectations: Parodied, along with a reference to the Start-To-Crate review system, when crates appear in the first area the player visits. "You're a little nervous about encountering a crate this early in the game." Also parodied by the Barrel Full Of Barrels, which is a giant barrel full of smaller, smashable barrels. Some of the mini-barrels explode. There are three encounters named "Crate Expectations". Since the earliest of these dates from 2009, they're likely a Shout-Out to the trope. Lampshaded in the Actually Ed the Undying challenge path, when you find out why there are crates there ... the Secret Government Warehouse full of crated-up MacGuffins is hidden there. | |

Encounter Repellant | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_156864b1 | comment |
Encounter Repellant: Second verse, same as the first — various potions, skills, and equipment can be used to decrease the rate of combat encounters, and there are skills and items to banish the particular enemy you're facing. This category of encounter manipulation is generally regarded as more useful than its counterpart, but you'll want it all in the end. | |

Painful Pointy Pufferfish: Pufferfishes appear as enemies in the ocean. Their initial turn has them scrape the player with their spines to poison them, which damages the player each turn of the battle and doubles each turn. They may also drop their spines upon defeat, which can be used on enemies to make them suffer similar poisoning. | |

Enmity with an Object: A number of enemies are actually just inanimate objects the player character has to decided to fight like they would an actual opponent. Most of them can still hurt you, but their "attacks" consist of the player character accidentally injuring themselves while interacting with the object somehow. | |

Global Currency Exception | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_17aaf656 | comment |
Global Currency Exception: Lots of these, each with their own independent currency, where meat is not accepted. This includes Hobopolis (with hobo nickels), the Terrified Eagle Inn in Dreadsylvania (with Freddy Krueggerands), Big Brother's store on the Ocean Floor (with sand dollars), the Bounty Hunter Hunter (with filthy lucre), Mr. Store (with Mr. Accessories), the Hermit (with worthless trinkets), and the Mysterious Island during wartime (with dimes and quarters for the hippy camp and frat house, respectively). And for Crimbo 2009 there are Crimbux! (singular: crimbuck). And for Crimbo 2010 there is CRIMBCO scrip! The vacation zones at the Elemental Airport have their own: Beach Bucks (Spring Break Beach), Coin-spiracy (Conspiracy Island), FunFunds (Dinseylandfill), Volcoinos (That 70's Volcano), and Wal-Mart gift certificates (The Glaciest). One of the items available at the Duty Free shop can only be purchased with a certain amount of all five. Don't forget the Fat Stacks of Cash: "These are some fat stacks of cash. Too bad you can't spend cash in the Kingdom of Loathing." They could be used to bribe the penguin mafia during Crimbo 2008, but aside from then, they can only be sold for 150 meat apiece, or used in combat to give your opponent an opportunity to attack. The Shore, Inc. only accepts The Shore, Inc. Ship Trip Scrip, which the description snarkily points out is worth whatever the company decides it is. | |

Full-Frontal Assault | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_18ce8f1d | comment |
Full-Frontal Assault: The PC can do this, but courtesy of Informed Equipment, you never actually see anything. There are, however, a few In-Universe examples: At the start of your fight with the Rain King, he'll blow off your clothes with a wave of water. Given that he's the Final Boss of the Heavy Rains challenge path, and suitably powerful as a result, it's about as difficult as it sounds. Zombo, one of the sub-bosses of Hobopolis, will scare you out of one item of clothing per turn- first your pants, then your hat, and finally, if you're wearing one, your shirt. Fail to kill him within the three rounds it takes him to remove all three items, and your PC will be taking Zombo on in the nude. Lastly, there's an enemy example in the Frat Orc Streaker, whose primary means of offense is grossing out your character by virtue of being an obese half-orc who's running around butt-naked.. | |

Programming Game: Combat macros let you do this instead of manually pressing a single button per action every round. It's meant for convenience's sake (instead of clicking "attack with weapon" every round until it dies, you can click "attack with weapon every round until it dies"), but the temptation to write a single uber-macro that can handle every scenario in the game is ever-present. | |

Lord British Postulate | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_1a1ea492 | comment |
Lord British Postulate: The Naughty Sorceress' third form will - usually! - destroy the player if they don't have the right item. One player decided this wasn't the case. See the "Bee-Bee Gun" entry above, too. The six monsters in her Tower (before a revamp in 2015) had obscene stats and were meant to be killed with a Logical Weakness combat item. The inevitable power creep over the game's eleven-year life has resulted in it being relatively simple to kill them with brute force and a lot of stunning. Unlike the Naughty Sorceress, the devs just let this one go without as much as an Obvious Rule Patch. In fact, one challenge path has an exclusive item that is an insta-kill just against tower monsters. All that was thrown out the window in January 2015, when the whole area was revamped, and the new monsters - walls of skin, meat, and bones - have abilities that prevent brute-force tactics...but in a very specific way that can be overcome if you know exactly what to do. | |

Formerly, the first step involved actually ''creating'' the Epic Weapon from junk you had in your inventory, including your starting weapon and an ordinary rock. You could even create more than one of them (though only one was needed to continue the quest line), as well as creating the Epic Weapons for classes other than your own (which didn't advance the quest at all, but could be saved for when you ascended into that class). | |

Stealth Pun: Some of the many, many references take a bit of thinking. For example, when fighting a one-eyed gnoll, you might get this message: "He picks up a giant rock from nearby and hurls it toward you, knocking you to the ground. It makes you want to turn around and break his heart." An orphaned one is the Penultimate Fantasy Airship. The Final Fantasy reference is obvious, but it also used to actually be the penultimate quest of the game, because it's the level 10 quest, and the final battle with the Naughty Sorceress used to be the level 11 quest. | |

Ascended Glitch: During the Eldritch Incursion world event, Sssshhsssblllrrggghsssssggggrrgglsssshhssslblgl was scheduled to be made vulnerable to the "Hopped Up on Goofballs" effect, complete with appropriate Flavor Text. However, a dev accidentally input the wrong number, resulting in the actual vulnerability being to "Timer 7". Later in the day, they fixed this... by changing the Flavor Text to better fit Timer 7. The bosses of the old Naughty Sorceress's tower were intended to be Puzzle Bosses, only defeatable by using specific combat items. However, due to Power Creep, it eventually became possible to defeat them by brute force. When the tower was revamped, the puzzle bosses that replaced them had two solutions — one instantly defeating them with a specific item, and one wearing their HP down with a specific strategy. | |

Unexpectedly Dark Episode | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_286141a2 | comment |
Unexpectedly Dark Episode: One of the darker zones comes from using a psychoanalytic jar to explore the psychoses of the Crackpot Mystic, an old man who lives in a shack and gives players access to the 8-Bit Realm, a low-level zone full of references to old-school video games. The game's trademark Hurricane of Puns and smarmy pop-culture references largely goes out the window in favor of a sidequest to fight embodiments of the Mystic's Anger, Fear, Doubt, and Regret, which have apparently overwhelmed him. Said embodiments take the form of pixellated monsters and power-ups which will taunt you repeatedly as you fight them, and some of their taunts might hit a little too close to home for the player. For instance, one of the monsters you can encounter is the morbid skull, representing the Crackpot Mystic's fears over his own mortality, and here are some of its hit messages: | |

Bilingual Bonus: When you cause a Disaster Dominoes accident in the office in the Dwarves' factory complex, you end up staring at a file-folder with "ピタゴラスイッ�" written on it. The character assumes it's Dwarvish for "you've just made a hell of a mess", but it's actually Japanese for "Pythagora Switch", which is their term for a Rube Goldberg Device. The description and use text (and name) for "spaghetti con calaveras" is entirely in Spanish. The description and name of Salsa de la Epocas is the name and description of the Sauce of the Ages (another item) in Spanish as well. | |

The level 11 quest, a long, laborious adventure with multiple sub-parts. After schmoozing with pirates, exploring a haunted manor, wandering through a Mayincatec ruin filled with vengeful ghosts, being overdosed on palindromes, and so on, you eventually defeat a resilient mummy at the bottom of a sunken pyramid and acquire the quest goal: the Holy MacGuffin. It does absolutely nothing. The council tosses it in a warehouse, and you get a superfluous parade (not pictured). | |

Adventurers can drink alcoholic beverages to restore their adventurous spirit, allowing them to take more adventures for the day. However, if they drink more alcohol than their liver can handle, any attempts to adventure will be replaced with a drunken adventure, resulting in inconveniences like taking a small amount of damage or losing a small amount of meat. | |

Awesome, but Impractical | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: The ridiculously overelaborate ninja weapon. As the game says, "You have absolutely no idea how to use it, but it looks totally badass." In terms of game mechanics, it does decent damage and has a +15% chance of critical hit, but it also prevents you from using a shield and triples your chance of fumbling. Becomes practical if you're wearing the Clockwork Apparatus outfit. The Apparatus has random beneficial effects that trigger on (and replace) fumbled attacks, and the ninja weapon has the highest fumble chance of any equipment (tied with the vibrating cyborg knife, which is no longer available). Also, it means you're a clockwork ninja, which is just freaking awesome. | |

Using goofballs provides an adventurer with a decent boost to muscle and moxie. However, once it runs out, the adventure starts the next day with a penalty to all stats.

For example, you need to wear the Swashbuckling Getup to unlock parts of the Obligatory Pirate's Cove, and you need to wear the Mining Gear to play the mining minigame, and you need to disguise yourself like a Knob Goblin to get a chance to fight the Goblin King. | |

Piñata Enemy: Beefy Bodyguard Bats. They don't appear anymore once you have slain the Boss Bat, though. Players used to "banish" the Boss Bat temporarily so they could fight more Bodyguards, until an update made banishing the Boss impossible. The rotund ducks at McMillicancuddy's Farm. They're not too tough as enemies, but you can only fight a limited amount of ducks per day, and there are other types of ducks you might encounter instead. Every enemy in the Castle in the Clouds, making it easily the most popular place to farm for Meat. Certain pygmies in the remodeled Hidden City. | |

Our Werebeasts Are Different | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_2f41cac1 | comment |
Our Werebeasts Are Different: The Weretaco "is an ordinary man, who, when the moon is full, turns into a half-man, half-taco monstrosity. Incidentally, for you detail-oriented people out there — the weretaco's lycanthropic cycle is not tied to Ronald or Grimace, but to some completely unrelated moon in some completely unrelated alternate dimension. That's why you never see him turn into a human. Seriously." The weremoose functions on aboot the same lines, eh? There's also the ultra rare Talisman of Baio, which drops from the "Baiowolf", a werewolf version of Scott Baio, and increases your stats depending on the phases of the moons. And the Wereturtle familiar. Maybe. The Flavor Text again points out that you've never seen it not be a turtle, regardless of the moon's phase, but this time it admits that it's probably just a regular turtle. And the ability to use "Blood of the Wereseal" on yourself to gain "Temporary Lycanthropy", a stat boost based on the lunar phase. | |

Rotten Reincarnation | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_35ac7538 | comment |
Rotten Reincarnation: Inverted. Valhalla is incredibly boring (bland food, no adventures, etc), so they've set up a Bureau of Reincarnation so the players can go back to their endless cycle of rescuing the King as a different Splat this time. They even get to choose their Zodiac sign this go-around, which determines which New Game Plus area they can access. | |

Sequential Boss | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_363e9631 | comment |
Sequential Boss: The Naughty Sorceress, and the aptly named Ed the Undying, who is fought a grand total of seven times in a row, and is never actually killed. In fact, that fight ends with the adventurer stuffing the now limbless Ed into a corner and running off with the Macguffin. The fights are also divided by the adventurer's attempts to make off with the Macguffin early; eventually, the adventurer just waits for Ed to get back up and continue the fight. An Actually Ed The Undying Challenge Path run reveals that he recovers even from this, and relatively quickly. (The Adventurer only has time to get from the end of the level 11 quest to the end of the level 13 quest in the same amount of time it takes Ed to recover from being beaten and do all thirteen quests himself) | |

Ascended Meme | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_36ed3e1e | comment |
Ascended Meme: A silly forum thread has one player complaining about how one non-combat adventure involving a hippo ballet does not contain an actual picture of a hippo in a tutu. In the next KoL convention, this familiar was being sold. (However, while the familiar in question is "a hippo in a tutu", it's not a hippo ''wearing'' a tutu, it's a hippo that was found ''inside'' a tutu. The familiar itself is just wearing a leotard, and sometimes mentions that she wishes she had a frilly skirt to wear) Around this time, Jick and Mr.Skullhead put tutus on their forum avatars. Long ago, Hobopolis was a running gag on the KoL Thursday night radio show. It eventually became the first clan dungeon. In a similar vein as the Hippo Ballerina, one thread speculating on the next Mr. Store familar included the joking idea that it would be "a corned beef sandwich glued to a dinosaur". Come March 2018's IOTM, and the "Cornbeefadon" is now a familiar, with its description lampshading its memeticness. | |

By the end of the game, he's so manly that a certain normally-devastating magical attack just rebounds off his chest muscles. | |

Death Is Cheap | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_37fcf16 | comment |
Death Is Cheap: You can't die at all unless you choose to Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence after beating the game. From there, the entire point of Valhalla is to reward you for beating the game and encourage you to return to the mortal realm for a New Game Plus. Running out of health in battle, or doing anything else you might expect to be fatal, merely ends the fight and gives you a few turns of "Beaten Up"...which doesn't prevent you from fighting, can be cured easily, and isn't even the worst negative effect in the game. It's become even easier since resting in your campsite was made into a cure. | |

Pistol-Whipping: The Burly Sidekick will attack by punching you with his gunhand, though he is never out of ammo (like Barrett from Final Fantasy VII, whom he's based on, does in his Hammerblow Limit Break). The only means of attack when using the rusted-out shootin' iron, whose barrel is so corroded it can't fire bullets anymore. Interestingly, despite counting as a melee weapon, it gives a boost to ranged damage. Since the game doesn't let you do Sword and Gun, the damage boost only comes into play in a handful of situations, like a Disembodied Hand to wielding the weapon. | |

Magikarp Power | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_3f0310d6 | comment |
Magikarp Power: Your basic equipment, that is, the weapon you start with, is useless after about level two. However, it is needed to trade for your class' Epic Weapon, which will eventually become very powerful if you complete the Nemesis Quest. The maiden wig, the chef's hat, and the beer goggles are low-level equipment which aren't very powerful, especially since the Goggles Do Nothing. But, they are needed to make the Clockwork Maid, the Chef-in-the-Box, and the Bartender-in-the box, which give you 8 more adventures per day, allow you to cook fancy ingredients without using an adventure, and allow you to mix fancy cocktails without using an adventure, respectively. For those who don't play, these are must-haves for any obsessive gamer. You can also sell them for quite a lot of meat. The goggles are also used in constructing 4-d cameras, which become increasingly valuable as you gain access to rarer and more powerful subjects of photography. | |

Enough to Go Around: While everyone gets supposedly one-of-a-kind items (and in fact, due to ascension, you can have multiple unique items, like a belt made from the skull of the Bonerdagon and the skin of the Boss Bat), there are a few items, like the Rainbow Pearl and Strange Tiki Idol, of which only a few were implemented and which were obtained first-come first-serve. And there are now a few things which just become harder to acquire the more people have them (or possibly the more which have been found, which isn't the same thing), so that nobody's really sure if there's a hard cap or not. | |

You Have Researched Breathing | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_4a10e526 | comment |
You Have Researched Breathing: You don't know how to put on a shirt when you start. It is only available after Ascending or completing a quest. There's an alternate way to learn this skill in Bad Moon ascensions. It involves getting nearly cut in half, at which point your character becomes aware of the torso he almost lost. Notably, the gnome who nearly bisected you is deeply confused that you didn't realize you had a torso. Also of note is Advanced Cocktailcrafting. While the ability to summon little cocktail accessories is fairly impressive, you also need this skill if you want to, say, place a little paper umbrella in a drink. Similarly, Pastamastery is necessary to cook simple ramen dishes, even though lots of more complex cooking doesn't require any skills. Most recipes can be "discovered" by simply putting the right ingredients together, even if they should require more complex steps. On the other hand, some dishes require you to learn the recipe first. Many of the latter kind are weird enough that this makes sense, but one would think that combining brownie mix and white chocolate chips wouldn't require special instructions. A Crimbo skill teaches you how to eat too much over the holidays and get fat. The whole kingdom did this when all players became aware that container items, like backpacks, are worn on something known as a "back." | |

Painting the Medium | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_5009999d | comment |
Painting the Medium: This is a game that is mostly text with simple images for flavor. If you get a red snowcone, the picture is the exactly the same as a blue snowcone, with no color. But in the "Haiku Dungeon" or "Limerick Dungeon", all of the text there follows those poetry conventions. There's also a haiku katana, which can give you an effect that makes your fights everywhere take haiku form. If you're a fan of Dr. Seuss, there's a pair of familiars (the Blavious Kloop and the Bloovian Groose) that produce anapest-based messages with their effects. The Kloop also drops an item that gives you access to a zone (The Suburbs of Dis) where all the combat messages are in anapestic quadrameter, and the Groose drops a consumable that temporarily gives you anapestic combat text in all zones. | |

Scratch Damage | |

The elemental bosses in Hobopolis can't be fought while you're in the same elemental form, since this would reduce most of their attacks to Scratch Damage. | |

Dangerous Phlebotinum Interaction: Mentioned in the Zombie Slayer path. The Suspicious-Looking Guy doesn't sell goofballs in this path because he "seems to be off in his own little universe". Your character figures that's just as well, since you have no clue how they would react with your Elite Zombie physiology. | |

Level Grinding: Quests are assigned to you based on your level, so if you've finished the first 12 quests and still haven't reached level 13, you're forced to go out and fight some baddies until you do. This is why speedrunners are so keen on bonus Monster Level. | |

Not Completely Useless: The Safarrri Hat, which grants "+15 damage against Lions", parodies the Weapon of X-Slaying trope. There's only one lion-type enemy in the entire game, and it's not a particularly difficult encounter. It's not completely useless, but it's close. | |

Moon Logic Puzzle | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_558ae6f6 | comment |
Moon Logic Puzzle: Before a revamp of the final quest, you used to encounter six monsters (out of 24 possibilities) that each required a certain item to beat it. While most of the items made some sort of sense, the Giant Desktop Globe must be beaten by an NG. The reasoning behind this comes from a They Might Be Giants song ( "Ana Ng", from the album Lincoln: "Make a hole with a gun, perpendicular/To the name of this town on a desktop globe"), a band mentioned in the game many times, but only in relatively subtle references. Fortunately, each time you lose to the monster, the game will give you another hint, and on your fifth loss, it will tell you exactly what item to use, and where to find it. There's also an optional puzzle involving translating dwarven runes, mining for ore and coal, gambling with the miners to deduce the values of the dwarven digit runes, converting the digits from base seven to base ten, putting the right amount of the right materials into the right hoppers, and setting the value of four console dials. The game gives you everything you need to deduce the solution to the puzzle, but the process is incredibly difficult. And you have to do it three times to get the Dwarvish War Uniform. Across three ascensions, since one of the items required is a one-time drop. And the translation for the runes is randomized for each ascension, so you'll have to go through the entire process, including figuring out what each rune means, every time. | |

| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_55e5b37c | comment |
Bragging Rights Reward: Pretty much all the Ascension rewards, though the Brimstone items - especially the Bunker - in particular, being some of the most powerful items in the game. The Slime and Hobo rewards as well, especially Hodgman's items, which require a very, very speedy run through Hobopolis be done in order to get some of them. Trophies are completely useless except for showing them off, and not only do they cost meat, but qualifying for one often requires significant expenditure of effort. | |

Critical Failure: In this case, it's called Fumble! Fumbling causes you to, instead of attacking, take damage by dropping your weapon on yourself. When unarmed, fumbles can be a bit strange, ex. "You drop your forehead on your arse." The Clockwork Outfit (Inspector Gadget's hat, pants, and trenchcoat) turns fumbles into positive effects. | |

Breaking Lecture: An Easter Egg available after you complete the Nemesis questline has a pretty hefty one. When your Nemesis goes One-Winged Angel, he/she/it does so by invoking the (randomly generated) Demon Lord of Revenge. If you have access to the Spookyraven Manor summoning circle, you can actually summon the Lord of Revenge, who gleefully explains how you and your Nemesis weren't so different. The whole experience shakes your character to their core, as shown by the resulting debuff fittingly called "Existential Torment". | |

The Unreveal: The Game Grid had one minigame, Jackass Plumber, which was always "OUT OF ORDER." After a year and a half of this, Crimbo 2011 came around, and players were able to give each other Jackass Plumber consoles as presents. Had the dev team finally gotten around to making the minigame? Well...not exactly. When the gifts became openable, it turned out that the consoles required nonexistent "Q" batteries. Using the console just makes your character wander around looking for batteries until he/she gets really mad and gives up. At least it temporarily boosts your attack power. | |

Socialization Bonus | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_5a90e8ad | comment |
Socialization Bonus: Clan dungeons. Hobopolis, the Slimetube, and Dreadsylvania require you to be in a Clan in order to play in them, and while it is possible to get the best rewards in Slimetube by yourself, you'll want a team of 6 people in order to find the best items in Hobopolis, and some parts of Dreadsylvania (such as the items needed to unlock the hardmode versions of the bosses) require co-operation between clan mates. And the mall, as well as trading in general. Honestly, despite the label of an MMORPG, Kingdom Of Loathing is a single player game with a few socialization bonuses. At one point the best foods in the game were hi meins, which could only be crafted using elemental powders (generated exclusively by Muscle classes) at the Wok of Ages (accessible only to Mysticality classes). If you weren't currently a Chef-Mage, you'd have to obtain them from someone who was. The Wok of Ages and hi meins have both since been removed from the game. | |

Eldritch Ocean Abyss | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_5c47ec4 | comment |
Eldritch Ocean Abyss: There are a number of decidedly Lovecraftian encounters that can be had when searching for two of the Sea Monkees on the Sea Floor. In the mer-kin deepcity, you can come face to face — and also kill — the two gods of the mer-kin: Shub-Jigguwatt, Elder God of Violence, and Yog-Urt, Elder Goddess of Hatred. The father Sea Monkee is found at the end, hooked up to a machine that opens a portal to... somewhere that might be outer space but is likely something far more alien. The Caliginous Abyss is themed entirely around being a horrific, alien place in the deepest part of the ocean. When the player heads there to look for the mother Sea Monkee, they face several surreal non-combat encounters — such as fish with twisted human faces, incongruous mother-hen messages carved into rock walls or written out of glowing sea life, areas of the seafloor carved by the passage of hundreds and hundreds of tentacled somethings — and combat encounters against things such as enormous eyes staring out of the darkness, slithering armored things, a twisted parody of Mr. Peanut and a group of carnivorous things referred to simply as a "school of many". | |

Hardcore mode does reduce the impact of Mr. Store items somewhat; Magic-Spellbook-type Items Of The Month and Familiars Of The Month are usable as long as you aren't in a Bad Moon run or a special challenge path that strictly limits what you can bring into it. In fact, several of these items are considered necessary if you want to be "optimal" (finishing an ascension in less than a week). A few of the top-tier Familiars and Tomes are the He-Boulder (can force an enemy to drop all of its potential drops), Llama Lama, Infant Sandworm, Green Pixie, Rogue Programme, Pair of Stomping Boots (easily obtain otherwise rare turn generating spleen items, as well as unlocking new areas), Frumious Bandersnatch (increase XP and improves combat skills), Bugged Bugbear (massive XP boosts and other benefits), Tome of Sugar Shummoning, Tome of Clip Art (powerful equipment), Tome of Scratch n' Sniff Sticker Summoning (makes a sword or crossbow which can recieve powerful enchantments), and Tome of Snowcone Summoning (powerful buffs). | |

The Power of Apathy | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_62ec2103 | comment |
The Power of Apathy: One possible encounter in the Daily Dungeon is the Apathetic Lizardman, who by itself isn't a very tough opponent (it's apathetic, after all). The main danger comes from the fact that attacking it with melee moves will cause its sheer apathy to spread to the player, causing a huge 30% reduction to all their stats for a good 10 adventures. | |

Instrument of Murder: The Stolen Accordion, weapon of choice of the Accordion Thief. Through a special quest, it can become the Rock and Roll Legend, then the Squeezebox of the Ages, and finally the Trickster's Trikitixa (once Somerset Lopez is defeated once and for all). There are also several instruments aside from accordions, including guitars (one of which is called an "axe"), drums, flutes, a rattle, a violin, a tuba, and a sitar. They're generally considered ranged weapons. The Disco Bandit's Legendary Weapon is the Disco Banjo, which can be further upgraded into the Shagadelic Disco Banjo, and finally to Seeger's Unstoppable Banjo. | |

Bio-Augmentation | |

Bio-Augmentation: the Unstable DNA item, which, when drunk, gives the status buff "Yuletide Mutations", which buffs all stats + 50%, the damage of the "Mutant Coture" armor and the potency of "Consume Burrowgrub" for 10 adventures. Unstable DNA is also integral in making the "Pair of Ragged Claws" familiar and the "Burrowgrub Hive" furnishing. There is also the Gremlin Mutagen and the Glowing Syringe (obtained from a big monster in a diving suit with a creepy little girl familiar, natch) that "Biologically Shocks" your DNA. Stephen Spookyraven's quest branch in the Lights Out adventures reveals that he started grafting pieces of his pets onto himself after his surgical experiments on them invariably failed. | |

Mining for Cookies: Meat (in the form of sirloin steaks) is both mined and chopped off of monsters. The player can also dig up things like cardboard, bubble wrap, and Velcro ore. | |

Fractured Fairy Tale | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_6d5ab39e | comment |
Fractured Fairy Tale: The grimstone mask lets you adventure as the villain of a fairy tale, such as the stepmother trying to screw up Cinderella's night at the ball or the hare trying to win the race with the tortoise. Each tale casts them as an Anti-Villain or at least in a sympathetic light. The wolf in the Three Little Pigs tale thinks he's cleaning up the local Wretched Hive. The residents have a severe case of Jerkass, and the buildings suffer from No OSHA Compliance or at least are pretty unsafe, so in his mind, evicting the pigs is a good thing. The witch in the Hansel and Gretel tale is physically dependent on candy to survive. She's capable of getting enough to get by, but children keep coming in and taking it, so from her point of view, she's just defending her livelihood from thieves. The gnome in the Rumpelstiltskin tale is a combination of craftsman and social worker. He tempts parents and takes away their children, sure, but he's taking them from neglectful parents who are too busy indulging in their own vices to actually care for their own flesh and blood. From his point of view, what he's doing is a win-win; the parents get magical gifts that sate their carvings, while the children are relocated to his orphanage, where they can be taken in by people who actually care about them. The hare in the Tortorise and the Hare tale is frustrated that the tortoise has decided to essentially cheat by hopping on a motorcycle when it's ostensibly meant to be a foot-race. They're also much less of a braggart in this version. The stepmother in the Cinderella tale is a more straight-forward villain who's motivated primarily by jealousy and even has some Laughably Evil moments, but even she has some sympathetic elements, namely in how she's trying to go from Rags to Riches. To her, Cinderella is a competitor and a threat to her attempts to climb the social ladder, so ruining her stepdaughter's night is just safe-guarding her own future. | |

Tertiary Sexual Characteristics: A lot of the female avatars for various outfits are simply the male version but with long hair/pig tails/pony tails, bows, makeup etc. This is parodied with the ones for the Hyperborean Hobo Habiliments and Vile Vagrant Vestments, where the female versions have long hair and such...but they still have the beard stubble of the male version. | |

A lot of trophies cannot be easily obtained...except by buying a crapload of something in the mall. All the Gotta Catch 'Em All ones are like this, and several others require you to multi-use something in a quantity that would take forever to generate on your own. One requires you to literally toss your meat down a hole. | |

Guide Dang It! | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
Guide Dang It!: A couple NS13 mechanics, particularly the +ML/-NC "anti-synergy". That one eventually got cut for being completely unfun. Some NS11-era puzzles were also fairly unintuitive without trying to combine every item with every other item, or throw combat item after combat item at monsters that fall to only one type of item and horribly murder you otherwise. The player base has always had such a high concentration of organized spaders that Jick and Skullhead would be remiss not to leave them something to puzzle out. Also, much of the Sorceress's Lair used to be like this, particularly the Perplexing Door (which, unlike the tower monsters, didn't give you any hints as to how many keys you need until the entire quest got revamped in 2015). There was, for the longest time, absolutely nothing to tell you the exact combination of stars and lines needed for a Richard's star key, nor the number of pixels needed for a digital key. Oh, and the areas where stars, lines, and pixels drop are otherwise unessential; even after all the revamps it's still possible that you won't have even unlocked them by the time you get to the door. The Tower part of the lair as well, since it contained monsters that could only be beaten with a specific item, even if other items would seem equally or more logical (for example, you couldn't melt the giant ice cube with any old item or spell that inflicts fire damage, it had to be a can of hairspray, which doesn't even sound like an item that would do fire damage in the first place). Finding all twenty hobo codes, which will require at least three ascensions and a lot of counterintuitive thinking. Finding all of the Way of the Surprising Fist scrolls, five of which are absolutely necessary to complete the ascension. These and the hobo codes can only be found in specific locations, and there are no hints whatsoever as to what those locations are. You normally get a medal for completing the Hippy/Frat war, depending on which side you fight on and how many sidequests you complete for that side. It's made clear that killing both sides would be a better solution, but how are you supposed to know that you do it by killing exactly 999 soldiers on each side, with no visible counter, to cause an epic showdown with both final bosses? Or that using a pirate flare gun during this special final battle, despite A Conspicuous Absence of Pirates having made them useless during the entire rest of the quest, is the way to insta-kill both bosses and get you a special medal? By looking it up, that's how. Dreadsylvania's Hardmode bosses. Each one requires you to fight the normal boss while equipped with a special item or while under a certain effect. These items and effects require several different players of different classes working through the dungeon to acquire multiple items that must then be combined to allow one player to fight the boss. One of these items took the playerbase a month to find! To say nothing of the ridiculous tricks the bosses themselves employ. | |

There are some items that can only have their plurals obtained by examining the game's code. The plural of "Staff of Ed" is "Staves of Ed, you dirty exploiter you". | |

Anti Poop-Socking | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_71d75417 | comment |
Anti Poop-Socking: You only get a limited number of adventures per day, normally 40, though there are many ways to increase this. Furthermore, unused adventures naturally accumulate up to 200, thereby removing most of the incentive for casual players to play every single day. However, your stomach/liver/spleen levels get reset every day, and these are the things to give you extra adventures; if you don't play every day you only get the extra rollover adventures, possibly missing on hundreds from a single day. There are also abilities and machines that players may want to use as much as possible that "recharge" daily. | |

What the Hell, Player? | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_72dd7026 | comment |
What the Hell, Player?: Eating certain foods, mainly raw ingredients such as carob chunks, raw Chorizo, and bottles of ketchup, will cause the game to call you an idiot. Also lemons and limes; notably, if you eat a lime, the game comment that, while you are insane to do so, you are slightly less insane than you would be if you were eating a lemon. In the Turtle Tamer Nemesis quest, one is attacked by "brainwashed" guard turtles. One of their drops is their shell. "So you killed a turtle, ripped the shell from its back, and now you're going to wear it on your head. As a hat. Some Turtle Tamer you are. Damn." Three of the five hit messages for attacking with a chefstaff, which really isn't a very effective weapon for hitting things with, tell you outright that it would be a better idea to use it for casting spells than as a bludgeon. Which is hilarious when you're doing tens or hundreds of times the monster's HP in damage anyway. You can pickpocket the Guy Made Of Bees, and thus receive a handful of bees. The item description is shocked that you were insane enough to do this in the first place. (Note that if you do this, you lose the fight, because you have to win on the first turn) True the whole kingdom can't really hurt you but that's no reason to be a jerk about it! The soggy used band-aid, picked up from diving into a swimming pool. Its use message directly asks what the hell is wrong with you, and just to drive the point home, the monster you're fighting is so stunned by what you just did that he forgets to fight you. | |

Random Drop | |

Random Drop: Item drop rate boosters are the most important buffs and enchantments in the game, because without them everything takes much, much longer. Rare Random Drop: The Spice Melange—which drops only 0.1% of the time from a monster that consumes an expensive item each time you fight one—is probably the most ridiculous example, but 1%-or-less drops are plentiful. | |

The "temporal rifts" world event showed up to explain the mess created by an accidentally deleted database and allowed travel to various past and future times; one was a zombie apocalypse which players had to collect zombie organs from to prevent said zombie apocalypse in the present. Players also received "petrified time" which could be crafted into items to give them extra adventures every day...even though other items not made of petrified time also do this, apparently by different unexplained means. As if this all wasn't confusing enough, the Zombie Slayer path reveals that Corman caused the zombie apocalypse in the past because he's Cristobal Colon. But then you became a zombie and helped other zombies defeat him, after which you went back in time and invented the cure for the zombie virus by virtue of it having already been invented in your time. Or...something. | |

Legendary Weapon | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_7b047cb2 | comment |
Legendary Weapon: The game parodies legendary weapons at every turn. There's a chain of quests where the player gets a series of legendary weapons. First, the player has to find the (extremely underpowered) Epic Weapon for their class buried in the grave of The Unknown Seal Clubber/Turtle Tamer/etc (whatever your class is, in other words). Following that, they obtain more ingredients and upgrade it to the (better, but still not all that great) "Legendary Epic Weapon". Following that, the weapon gets transformed into the "Ultimate Legendary Epic Weapon" (which is, finally, actually pretty powerful) during their final showdown against their nemesis. Formerly, the first step involved actually ''creating'' the Epic Weapon from junk you had in your inventory, including your starting weapon and an ordinary rock. You could even create more than one of them (though only one was needed to continue the quest line), as well as creating the Epic Weapons for classes other than your own (which didn't advance the quest at all, but could be saved for when you ascended into that class). Deconstructed with Trusty, Boris' trusty axe which the player is forced to use when playing as the Avatar of Boris. | |

Tech Tree: Certain challenge paths will have these, where you use points to unlock skills, in place of purchasing skills like you normally do. Avatar of Boris and Zombie Slayer give you three trees, and you unlock skills in a particular tree in a certain order. Avatar of Jarlsberg has four trees, and they branch slightly. In all of the paths, you can increase the amount of skill points you start with by completing that path multiple times. | |

True Final Boss: For the Sea Quest; if you forge together the sets of equipment each boss gives you per class via both Scholar and Gladiator; wear all 6 pieces of armor; you will face the force that's behind the Elder Gods. Dad Sea Monkee; hooked up to some kind of Devil's Machine/Person Jar. In an ordinary License to Adventure run, you finish by fighting "Blofeld" (quotes included), a cowardly man who reads his lines from a script and spends the entire fight trying to run away, so weak that he's likely to pose zero challenge to any player at that point. Defeating him while the path is in seasonnote between May 15th, 2017 and August 14th, 2017 will cause him to drop a "License to Kill," a seemingly useless item. Using 11 Licenses to Kill at once allows you to fight the real Blofeld and obtain the significantly more useful "License to Chill." | |

Conservation of Ninjutsu | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_82f5ced1 | comment |
Conservation of Ninjutsu: Used on a game-wide scale with the Ragamuffin Imp familiar. Its strength is inversely proportional to the number of people currently armed with one. If few people are using it, it's extremely powerful in combat (potentially as strong as 100 saber-toothed limes), but it gets weaker and weaker as more and more people use it. When it was first introduced, the power was determined by how many existed in the universe. Acquiring one required being able to solve a fiendishly difficult puzzle... until the answer became common knowledge (despite explicit instructions of "do not spoil this"), at which point everyone and their mother got one, rendering them useless (1 point of hot damage!) until the rules were changed. | |

Logical Weakness | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_83641c73 | comment |
The six monsters in her Tower (before a revamp in 2015) had obscene stats and were meant to be killed with a Logical Weakness combat item. The inevitable power creep over the game's eleven-year life has resulted in it being relatively simple to kill them with brute force and a lot of stunning. Unlike the Naughty Sorceress, the devs just let this one go without as much as an Obvious Rule Patch. In fact, one challenge path has an exclusive item that is an insta-kill just against tower monsters. All that was thrown out the window in January 2015, when the whole area was revamped, and the new monsters - walls of skin, meat, and bones - have abilities that prevent brute-force tactics...but in a very specific way that can be overcome if you know exactly what to do. | |

Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_83b89a9c | comment |
Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors: Though with some rather unusual elements. Hot, Cold, Spooky, Stench and Sleaze are the elements of KoL. Each element takes double damage from two, and deals double damage to the other two◊. If you attack a monster with its own element, or attack a ghost with non-elemental weapons, you deal negligible damage. Also, there are four elements which are only used in certain situations and don't fit into the cycle: Slime, Shadow, Bad Spelling, and Supercold. Slime damage, seen only in the Slime Tube, is mostly dealt via status effects and has its own protective gear. Bad Spelling damage is dealt by enemies modeled on Internet trolls and is countered by reading from a dictionary. Supercold damage is dealt by the Warbears in the Warbear Fortress during Crimbo 2013. And finally, Shadow damage is dealt by Your Shadow and has no way to counter it - this is to make sure that it goes straight through any gear you're wearing. There is also the legendary Sixth Element, Cuteness. | |

The walls of skin and bones in the Tower are a double example — you're supposed to insta-kill them with special combat items, but you can still beat them with damage, if you deal the right kind of damage. | |

Power Creep: Newer items are, on the whole, much more powerful than their counterparts of yesteryear. In the case of ultra-rares, this has sometimes been addressed by retroactively beefing the older items up. | |

Zombo, one of the sub-bosses of Hobopolis, will scare you out of one item of clothing per turn- first your pants, then your hat, and finally, if you're wearing one, your shirt. Fail to kill him within the three rounds it takes him to remove all three items, and your PC will be taking Zombo on in the nude. | |

They start out as a Sleepy Mariachi, become a slightly beefier Surprised Mariachi after one turn, and then a much tougher Alert Mariachi on the next. An Alert Mariachi that gets their turn will One-Hit Kill you by calling all their buddies to beat you up and throw you out. | |

Joke Item | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_8af721f7 | comment |
Joke Item: Most of the items from the Summon Hilarious Objects spell. 'Useless powder', a powder obtained from pulverizing certain pieces of equipment. Unlike the elemental powders you obtain from smashing other items, this powder has no purpose whatsoever; your only options for it are 'discard' and 'use' (the latter of which also discards it). Not to mention multiple familiars that don't do anything. Or the ones that only serve to impede you. Lethal Joke Item: Some bosses are only supposed to be killable by using highly improbable inventory items on them. This being KoL, some of the players have found alternate methods. | |

Timey-Wimey Ball | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_8d23f3a7 | comment |
Timey-Wimey Ball: Time travel is treated with about as much seriousness as everything else, so this is inevitable. The "temporal rifts" world event showed up to explain the mess created by an accidentally deleted database and allowed travel to various past and future times; one was a zombie apocalypse which players had to collect zombie organs from to prevent said zombie apocalypse in the present. Players also received "petrified time" which could be crafted into items to give them extra adventures every day...even though other items not made of petrified time also do this, apparently by different unexplained means. As if this all wasn't confusing enough, the Zombie Slayer path reveals that Corman caused the zombie apocalypse in the past because he's Cristobal Colon. But then you became a zombie and helped other zombies defeat him, after which you went back in time and invented the cure for the zombie virus by virtue of it having already been invented in your time. Or...something. On a completely different tangent, the time-travel quests in Agua De Vida bottles seem to operate on genetic memory. Which somehow works for things in the future, and allows people in the distant past or future to drop items usable in the present...through your memory. But not in the Very Beginning, or for temporally displaced quest items, which are memories of items rather than...oh, forget it. | |

Hard Mode Perks | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_8dc2b0f2 | comment |
Hard Mode Perks: Ascending on higher difficulties gives you those. The "Heavy Rains" challenge path is probably the most extreme example — the game is much harder due to the, uh, heavy rain in the Kingdom both making monsters more powerful and making it harder to collect their Randomly Dropped items, but there are special skills you can only learn in the path that end up making speedruns much faster than the equivalent Standard run would be. | |

Clipped-Wing Angel: The Naughty Sorceress's third form is an interesting example — statistically speaking she is the most powerful enemy in the game, to the point where defeating her conventionally is effectively impossible, making the encounter an automatic loss. However, if you have The Wand of Nagamar in your inventory, the fight is an automatic win instead, making her third form a Zero-Effort Boss. | |

Mook Chivalry | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_955aba87 | comment |
Mook Chivalry: Soldiers in the Hippy/Frat war line up to fight you one at a time. After you kill a soldier, a set number (increased by doing sidequests) of other soldiers line up to be slaughtered by your allies. The enemy team's boss is not accessible until you kill all the other enemy mooks (or all but one of the mooks on each side), and your allies will not help you fight him. | |

Naughty Birdwatching | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_968971cf | comment |
Naughty Birdwatching: The telescope, obtained in Fernswarthy's Basement, can be used to either look at the stars for a stat boost or look at the Naughty Sorceress's tower to see what monsters it has. In addition, before the Observatory's destruction, players could use it to look into the Sorceress's chamber itself. She would then retaliate with a magical flash of light, causing temporary blindness, and a nearby astronomer would express disapproval of "base voyeurism" while adjusting his polarized sunglasses. | |

The "plinking" strategy, which relies on making basically everything you need in combat dependent on a single maximized stat, Moxie, and not even bothering to use special attacks. (The name "plink" is a bit of a misnomer now that Moxie also determines ranged damage in addition to accuracy) | |

Played straight when they gave an Ultra Rare item (which you have a 1 in no-one-really-knows-at-all chance of getting) a resulting material when you pulverize it, making you lose the original item. They prepared for people to destroy an Ultra Rare item. (The first guy to do it, incidentally, got a unique reward too, and it pulverizes into itself. Yes, they prepared for that too.) | |

Took a Level in Badass | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_9bcd82c0 | comment |
Took a Level in Badass: A Knob Goblin kid who can bring you a beer in an early choice adventure eventually becomes Lord Flameface, the boss of a world event. All the six main classes took several after the class revamps of late 2013, gaining several class-exclusive abilities: Seal Clubbers became able to accumulate Fury after winning consecutive combats, which can be spent on powerful attacks or grants combat bonuses proportional to how much Fury you have. Turtle Tamers gained the favor of three Great Turtle Spirits, which can be combined with their offensive and defensive skills for various effects and even let them transform into their Avatar for a short time. Pastamancers can now summon and recall Pasta Thralls at will, as opposed to the old way of having to find them in certain adventures, only being able to use them 10-15 times a day, and not being able to maintain more than two connections at a time (so breaking a connection reverts them back to level 1). Saucerors learned how to cast several hindering curses, and harnessed the power of Soulsauce which can be expended for devastating special spells. Disco Bandits mastered many knife-related special attacks, and their dance moves started to generate Disco Momentum, which increases their performance. Accordion Thieves finally acquired some combat skills, ceasing to be the only class without them. | |

Saving Christmas | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_9c464123 | comment |
Saving Christmas: Since 2005, Crimbo has been one disaster after another, and the Holiday Mode content invariably revolves around getting Uncle Crimbo out of the hole he's dug for himself. Mixing Hallow'een and Crimbo resulted in horrible misfit toys that are so scary they are used as weapons, a space-ship crashing into Crimbo Town resulted in the kingdom's near-subjugation by relentless Borg look-alikes, and attempting to make a Grimacite-powered toy factory resulted in stomach-turning mutant elves running amok (along with Mob Penguins looking to collect the money Uncle Crimbo borrowed from them). And that was just the years 2006-2008. Since Abuela Crimbo took over from Uncle Crimbo in 2018, the disasters tend to be external, but you still very much have to fix things. | |

Shield Bash | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_9d723582 | comment |
The brass dorsal fin is described as basically brass knuckles for creatures who don't actually have knuckles or fists. For the player character though, it's indirectly this trope. It's shield, so it's not quite a weapon, but it boosts weapon damage by 25%, so it still boosts your unarmed damage. Plus, those with the Shieldbutt skill can Shield Bash with it just fine, though at that point, you can't really call it a punch. | |

Bare-Fisted Monk | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_a00eb8f9 | comment |
Bare-Fisted Monk: Some Disco Bandits build on their existing Dance Battler style with the optional skill "Kung Fu Hustler", which offers a set of progressive bonuses for fighting without anything equipped in the hands. When combined with their other skills and "combat items" (weaponlike and used from inventory), this makes regular weapons unnecessary. For some time, combining the halo-type accessories from Summon Clip Art, which give a large bonus only if you don't have a weapon equipped, combined with Kung Fu Hustler, was the best playstyle for speed ascenders. That is, until Summon Smithsness was created. "Way of the Surprising Fist" is a challenge path, where one cannot wield any weapons; gains martial skills from certain areas, and money drops are extremely cut back due to a vow of poverty. The Master of the Surprising Fist skill from this path gives a further offensive and defensive boost from fighting bare-handed, and can be permed to use outside of this path (and can be combined with Kung-Fu Hustler to great effect). | |

Confusing Multiple Negatives: The anti-anti-antidote, whose description and use messages also exhibit this trope. It indeed acts like an antidote, since it removes certain poison effects, and the specific naming scheme is a Shout-Out to Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure. The memoir "Never Don't Stop Not Striving", which gives the Always Never Not Guzzling skill. It boosts the chances of getting booze from monsters that drop it, with the implication that the book was so confusing that it drives the player character to look for something to drink. | |

Parental Neglect | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_a54534a0 | comment |
The gnome in the Rumpelstiltskin tale is a combination of craftsman and social worker. He tempts parents and takes away their children, sure, but he's taking them from neglectful parents who are too busy indulging in their own vices to actually care for their own flesh and blood. From his point of view, what he's doing is a win-win; the parents get magical gifts that sate their carvings, while the children are relocated to his orphanage, where they can be taken in by people who actually care about them. | |

| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_a6275bef | comment |
Cool Sword: A running gag has the player killing skeletons to get their sweet swords. As of 2013, you can fight a tower of skeletons that increase in strength as you go to get an exceptionally sweet sword. This is actually one of seven swords that were released with the Angry Jung Man familiar. | |

The Nemesis quest. It is discovered that your Nemesis has stolen an artifact of great power, so your guild sends you to retrieve it and destroy your Nemesis. After solving some puzzles, fighting some goons, and beating your Nemesis four times, it is revealed that Larry, a hitherto-unseen fellow member of your guild, had sent the artifact out for cleaning and not told anyone. Larry's new. Your character is not pleased to hear this, despite getting a number of decent rewards. | |

She may be a septuagenarian in a wheelchair, but she wields a gatling gun, your familiar will not fight her, and your character won't bring themselves to hitting or using combat skills/spells on an old lady. The only way to defeat her is via passive damage or certain items, and they can be used only once per encounter. | |

Prestige Class | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_a7bb930 | comment |
Prestige Class: Certain Special Challenge Paths, chosen at the Bureau of Reincarnation after you beat the game. A few are straight-up restrictions, but quite a few others are special classes, such as the "Way of the Surprising Fist," which turns you into a Bare-Fisted Monk, the "Zombie Slayer," which makes you an Elite Zombie, the three "Avatar of-" paths, which turn you into one of the heroic archetypes the game's classes based themselves on (Boris for Muscle, Jarlsberg for Mysticality, and Sneaky Pete for Moxie), and the one where you play as Ed The Undying (not an avatar, you play as Ed himself, with your normal character as the final boss instead). There's also a few Shout-Out-based SCP classes, like "License to Adventure" which makes you a 00-agent, "The Source" which makes you into Neo, "Path of the Plumber," which turns you into Super Mario, "Pocket Familiars" makes you a Pokémon trainer, and any one of the three classes (the fisticuffs-based Cow Puncher, magic-based Beanslinger, alchemy-based Snake Oiler, all three of which are also gunslingers) from Asymmetric's own West of Loathing, which is set in the same universe. A further few change your race. "Gelatinous Noob" makes you a slime-person who upgrades by absorbing certain things, "You, Robot" makes you a junkyard robot with modular body parts, "Nuclear Autumn" makes you a Mutant who is both harmed and enhanced by the nuclear fallout, and "Dark Gyft" makes you a vampre. | |

Lucky Rabbit's Foot: The Lucky Rabbit's Foot increases item drop and money drops by 7%. The old joke of "Doesn't seem very lucky for the rabbit" is skewered as well, since the particular rabbit it's made out of was a very lucky bunny indeed, and even the way he died means he lucked out (being quickly shot by a poacher and turned into a keychain means he was saved months of slowly dying in agony from bowel cancer). | |

Unholy Nuke | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_a9ea8193 | comment |
Unholy Nuke: One of the damage types in the game is Sleaze, which dictionaries will describe as something like "moral corruption, often having to do with laziness". In game, this often manifests as inappropriate sexuality being physically harmful in the same sense as being set on fire. Subverted in that it also manifests as things that are physically slimy - like bacon grease, lard, or motor oil. One of the other damage types is Spooky, which is causes physical damage from being scared by things, whether that be shooting skulls or spiders at someone, or something as amorphous as the fear of losing all your possessions, leaving you broke and homeless. Stench isn't much better, damaging enemies with the power of spoiled milk, overflowing trash cans, or moldy cheese. | |

Already Done for You: The Sorceress's Tower is completely empty when you play the Actually Ed the Undying challenge path, makes sense because the final boss already cleared the tower out. For the other quests, you'll find that they were already done, but somehow reverted back to their pre-completion state, forcing you-as-Ed to do them again. | |

Instead, the only way to get it is with the Deck of Every Card, a Mr. Store item that is also no longer available but in the possession of a sizable portion of the player base. As such, thousands are available in the Mall of Loathing but are not cheap. | |

Temporary Online Content | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_b4a947fa | comment |
Temporary Online Content: "KoL is not a completionist's game", as they say. A good portion of the content is now only available in the Mall for millions of meat at a time, and more is completely lost. One that causes many people incalculable regret: the Hand Turkey Outline familiar. When the meat vortex bug hit, one player bought out all of the ones available in the mall and distributed them to her friends. Familiars can't be "unhatched". Only a tiny number of Hand Turkey Outlines exist in Display Cases now (said player was among the first banned when Jick started the clean-up). Over the years, this has softened somewhat with the arrival of items that replicate some of the effects of equipment that is no longer available. There might still be other barriers to obtaining it (e.g. rare drop rate, meat costs), but at least theoretically everyone can obtain it regardless of account age. For example, Ouija Board, Ouija Board reduces how many combats Turtle Tamers need to upgrade their turtle blessings, just like the spirit bell, but while the spirit bell was a boss drop from a 2013 event and is now no longer obtainable, Ouija Board, Ouija Board can be bought from the Mall at a fairly reasonable price and is made from extremely common starter equipment and a common drop from an old Mr. Store item. | |

The "figure out how to climb the mountain" portion of the level 8 quest is this, if you don't pull a Dungeon Bypass with Sneaky Pete's motorcycle. After either fighting ninja snowman assassins to gather mountain-climbing gear or learning how to eXtreme snowboard, you prepare to use what you've earned to ascend to the peak. At which point you finally notice the stairs. | |

Take That! | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_b53077b3 | comment |
Take That!: While the game usually veers towards Affectionate Parody, anything that Mr. Skullhead doesn't like will inevitably get one of these. If the Mad Hatrack wears a turban, it will quote Apu from The Simpsons, then add "Stereotypes are funny!" All of the comedians in Hell's comedy club are subject to some bashing. Larry of the Field of Signs, whose observational humor the game repeatedly mocks as repetitive and uncreative. Defeating him gets you some observational glasses: Carbuncle Top, a parody of prop comedian Carrot Top, has all of his attack messages end in "no one laughs." Victor the Insult Comic Hellhound mocks Triumph the Insult Comic Dog and his repetitive catchphrases. | |

Double Unlock: Trophies. First you have to earn them, then you have to buy them. Some of the trophies are state-based, so if you don't buy them soon enough, you can actually stop qualifying for them. On April 1st 2011, they actually introduced an impossible trophy as a joke, where the condition for earning the trophy was not being able to afford the trophy. | |

In addition, before the Observatory's destruction, players could use it to look into the Sorceress's chamber itself.

Ass Kicks You: You can wear an asshat (made of two bum cheeks). There's a headbutt attack. Go figure. Even more to the point, certain monsters made in the Kingdom's early history had the miss message, "He tries to headbutt you, but you turn around and butthead him." Since Crimbo 2010, two new possible monsters have graced the kingdom, along with a photocopier to help provide them. Your butt and somebody else's butt. On April Fools' Day 2011, the butts of several of the developers showed up as enemies, and dropped special items (no, not that. Not that either.) | |

One Stat to Rule Them All | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_b798d379 | comment |
One Stat to Rule Them All: Used to be Moxie, since having it high enough would allow players to avoid all damage, and it also determined damage dealt by ranged attacks. As the game has grown more complex, this has become less clear-cut, so the god stat of the moment depends on player goals — one strong example is The Source challenge path, where having a huge MP pool is vital for defeating the Source Agents and leveling up quickly enough, making Mysticality the god stat. | |

Boss-Altering Consequence: The first 4 undead bosses from the "Undefile the Cyrpt" quest (not including the Bonerdagon) are each associated with a particular item. This item can be found in the same area as the boss and can be used to either do a large chunk of damage to them or score a One-Hit Kill: The giant skeelton is vulnerable to the rusty bonesaw. The Huge ghuol is allergic to the can of Ghuol-B-Gone. The two heads of the conjoined Zmobie can be turned against each other by feeding them a half-rotten brain. The Gargantulihc can be defeated in one moving by finding and breaking its plus-sized phylactery. | |

On a completely different tangent, the time-travel quests in Agua De Vida bottles seem to operate on genetic memory. Which somehow works for things in the future, and allows people in the distant past or future to drop items usable in the present...through your memory. But not in the Very Beginning, or for temporally displaced quest items, which are memories of items rather than...oh, forget it. | |

Nerf Arm: Besides the fact that half of the ranged weapons are some sort of musical instrument, the game has a lot of goofy weapons that are just as effective as the standard swords and bows. For reference, one of the late-game melee weapons is a duct tape sword that's just as effective as a regular late-game sword. The ranged weapons can be even more esoteric, with bags of throwable snowballs and candy outdamaging actual firearms. | |

The Loathing Legion jackhammer, a form of the "Loathing Legion Knife" Mr. Store item, references this and parodies it by replacing every enemy picture with that of a nail.

Golem | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_c3182167 | comment |
Golem: You can have a "Meat Golem" camp guard. There are lots of Golem enemies, including the nacho golem, stuffing golem, candied yam golem, fruit golem, white chocolate golem, bread golem, chowder golem, pencil golem, topiary golem, and collapsed mineshaft golem, which just goes to show that some people will make a golem out of anything. Humorously, the clay golem, found in art class during the KOLHS run, is the only golem considered crazy by the narrator. | |

Intoxication Mechanic | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_c69d8b0c | comment |
Intoxication Mechanic: Adventurers can drink alcoholic beverages to restore their adventurous spirit, allowing them to take more adventures for the day. However, if they drink more alcohol than their liver can handle, any attempts to adventure will be replaced with a drunken adventure, resulting in inconveniences like taking a small amount of damage or losing a small amount of meat. Using goofballs provides an adventurer with a decent boost to muscle and moxie. However, once it runs out, the adventure starts the next day with a penalty to all stats. Additionally, each dose starting with the seventh dose on a given playthrough reduces the adventurer's stat experience by an increasing amount. | |

Power Fist | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_ca7f68c4 | comment |
Power Fist: The game naturally has a few examples of this trope, though they often boost weapon damage in general rather than specifically unarmed. The enchanted brass knuckles boost your chance of scoring a Critical Hit with melee weapons, which includes unarmed attacks. Candy knuckles, an item from Crimbo 2009, provide a flat buff to general melee weapon damage, but break after a certain amount of uses. The description quips that "instead of giving someone a knuckle sandwich, you can give them a sweet tooth." The brass dorsal fin is described as basically brass knuckles for creatures who don't actually have knuckles or fists. For the player character though, it's indirectly this trope. It's shield, so it's not quite a weapon, but it boosts weapon damage by 25%, so it still boosts your unarmed damage. Plus, those with the Shieldbutt skill can Shield Bash with it just fine, though at that point, you can't really call it a punch. The familiar-exclusive equipment for the Fist Turkey is a set of brass turkey knuckles, which boosts its damage when pecking and clawing opponents, among other things. Grimacite gauntlets, a former Raffle House prize, boosts your Muscle depending on how dark the moons are, and Muscle is used to both determined how much damage you'll do in an unarmed attack and whether you'll actually hit your opponent in the first place. The Dungeon Fist gauntlet is worn on your off-hand and increases your weapon damage by a flat amount. Its other enchantments are a Shout-Out to Gauntlet; in that game, enemies know where you are even through walls, which is reflected by how the gauntlet makes combat encounters occur more often, and the game (infamously) is the Trope Namer for Wizard Needs Food Badly, represented as a massive decrease in food drops. The Dreadful Werewolf Suit dropped by the Great Wolf of the Air includes two of his paws. The right (a "1-handed claw") grants a massive boost to melee damage, including chance of landing a Critical Hit, while the left (an off-hand item) boosts critical hit chance further and also provides extra elemental damage. The description of the latter also lampshades how oddly convenient it is that the Great Wolf of the Air's paws neatly fit on your hands: The toy Crimbot power glove goes over your arm and replaces your hand with a electric prong that staggers opponents and restore mana when used. Wearing other parts of the Crimbot Crimboutfit boosts its power. Its description naturally references the infamous power glove scene in The Wizard. Slime knuckles are described as "the opposite of brass knuckles", which makes sense, since they boost spell damage and Mysticality rather than melee damage and so avert this trope. | |

Level Limiter | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_ca8837e9 | comment |
Level Limiter: The game has several items with negative stats, and since level progression is based on Stat Grinding, this effectively reduces a character's level, which is useful for certain level-locked dungeons (such as the Cola Wars Battlefield which you can only access at Level 6). It also has the Black Cat familliar and the Bad Moon zodiac sign (effectively two different ways of acheiving the same result), that severely reduce or outright negate encounter rewards (although a player on a Black Cat/ Bad Moon run can learn the "Torso Awaregness"(sicit's literally spelled that way because of the Verbal Tic of the gnome who teaches it to you) skill that lets you wear shirts. | |

Take Your Time | |

Take Your Time: Don't worry, the Naughty Sorceress never actually does anything. Neither does your Nemesis. In fact, if you defeat all but his/her/its final demonic form, and then lose to or run away from the demon, you can then proceed to go wherever you want and do whatever you want and come back at leisure - your Nemesis will still be sitting there in demonic form doing nothing until you return. After you start a war between the Frat Boys and the Hippies, the two armies march out to the battlefield and...just stand there doing nothing indefinitely, until you decide to join the fight. If you fight for only one side, that side will eventually win with zero casualties, because the other side never takes the offensive! | |

Escort Mission: Parodied and thankfully averted with Grandma Seamonkey. She describes herself as someone useless in a fight who would easily get lost and be unable to circumvent the simplest of obstacles. The player character determines that she should be fine making it back on her own. Played straight during the Moons sidequest, where you have to cart around a creepy little girl (who takes up your off-hand slot). She freaks out if you get hit, and has a point value that declines every time you take damage; if it hits zero, she runs away and you have to start over. | |

Cerebus Syndrome | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_cfdb9e17 | comment |
Cerebus Syndrome: The Mime invasion was an uncharacteristically creepy event (which may still be ongoing). Shortly afterward, the new additions to the Sea Monkee quest added in March and April 2013 turned the previously lighthearted quest into a dead serious and surprisingly chilling Cosmic Horror Story. And then the new clan dungeon showed up: Dreadsylvania, a giant pastiche of horror tropes that plays many of them straight (particularly the spooky-aligned variants, which have some really disturbing descriptions). Then, in late 2016, a new skill was added which gave small bonuses to spooky damage and resistance, while adding creepy whispers to the end of combat ("You will not fear us. You do not have a word for the emotion we will evoke in you"), leading into another (still-ongoing at the time of this writing) event involving extra-dimensional horrors. All this in a game originally built on obnoxious puns, satire, and non-sequiturs. | |

Impossibly Cool Weapon | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_d0c5fb3 | comment |
Impossibly Cool Weapon: The ridiculously overelaborate ninja weapon. "It consists of four long blades, three wooden poles, six steel chains, and an assortment of spikes. You have absolutely no idea how to use it, but it looks totally badass." 3x chance of fumble. 3 handed weapon. | |

Developer's Foresight | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_d24ed873 | comment |
Developer's Foresight: Zig-zagged. The final boss is only meant to be beatable with a special wand in your inventory, and has massive stats to make sure of this. When someone found a way to do it differently, the developers gave them a prize for doing so, the description of which said, "Well done for doing something that everyone thought was impossible, and damn you for making us have to work out how to make it not happen again!" Then, it happened again. (It's good to note at this point that the first player was over level 100, And the other had bribed his way there. Played straight when they gave an Ultra Rare item (which you have a 1 in no-one-really-knows-at-all chance of getting) a resulting material when you pulverize it, making you lose the original item. They prepared for people to destroy an Ultra Rare item. (The first guy to do it, incidentally, got a unique reward too, and it pulverizes into itself. Yes, they prepared for that too.) Periodically, a holiday on the in-game calendar will fall on the day of an actual real-life holiday. When this happens, the result is usually a clever combination of the two holidays, sometimes even worked into the plot. Thanksgiving on Saint Patrick's Day becomes Drunksgiving, with drunk versions of Thanksgiving encounters; Halloween on Christmas resulted in The Nightmare Before Christmas themed Crimboween, etc. Trying to access the server directory where the image files for trophies are stored simply returns a message: "No peeking." "Stupid complicated game." There are Monster Manuel factoids for The Whole Kingdom monster, even though it's a Hopeless Boss Fight that is not meant to be beaten conventionally and automatically ends after a certain amount of turns. Attempting to eat a gingerbread bugbear while wearing a bugbear costume gives a special message where your character opts not to eat the cookie after suddenly seeing a nearby "No Cannibalism" sign. One of the quests for Dinseylandfill involves giving guests at Barf Mountain snacks by using a basket of refreshments. There are special messages for using the basket after you've completed the quest and using it in a place that isn't Barf Mountain. This is notable because the item has no combat utility and is used exclusively for that quest, so the only reason you'd try these things is just to see what happens. The Level 12 quest involves getting a war uniform for either the hippies or fratboys, then starting a war, after which the locations change and you can't get the outfits the original way. You still need one to go out on the battlefield, though. If you happen to sell or pulverize a piece of the outfit, the game will enable a superlikely adventure in the desert that will give you a replacement hippie war uniform. | |

Bait-and-Switch Boss | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_da03a529 | comment |
Bait-and-Switch Boss: Seems to be a feature of special challenge runs. If you choose to play a 'Bees Hate You' run, the Naughty Sorceress' sausage form is killed by the Guy Made of Bees, an Optional Boss in normal runs. In Avatar of Boris; the sausage is replaced by The Avatar of Sneaky Pete. And in Bugbear Invasion, this effectively happens before the game even starts: a giant bugbear mothership has crashed on the original final boss's lair, and you eventually end up fighting the mothership's final boss instead of the regular one. And in Zombie Slayer: Rene C. Corman, long-missing Big Bad from the Valhalla arc, kills the Naughty Sorceress and takes over for the final battle. Twice in Avatar of Jarlsberg! Clancy, Boris's herald, attacks you in place of the familiar test, and the Avatar of Boris has struck down the Naughty Sorceress herself (all forms) and serves as the final boss. And in KOLHS: Principal Mooney replaces the Naughty Sorceress. One more time in Avatar of Sneaky Pete: the Avatar of Jarlsberg finishes the triangle by replacing the last stage of the Naughty Sorceress. Nearly every quest-relevant boss in Heavy Rains is replaced by a watery clone, though Ed the Undying manages to subvert it. When you're Actually Ed the Undying, you're not interested in fighting the Naughty Sorceress anyway, only that pesky %playername who flattened her just before you got there. Given the inspiration for The Source challenge path, it should come to little surprise that the Naughty Sorceress is replaced by One Thousand Source Agents. | |

Lethal Joke Item: The Homemade Robot familiar. It does absolutely nothing but drive around in circles and give cute messages during combat. It can though be upgraded to permanently be 100 pounds with piles of useless of robot parts and is affected by normal +Familiar Weight modifiers. The lethality comes when combined with the tiny costume wardrobe, allowing it to become a 100 lb. version of a random familiar every combat. With the right familiar weight buffs, this translates to 270% items drops, +10 substats per fight, and 536 damage per combat round. | |

Animesque: The battle with Yakisoba the Executioner, complete with a swirl of Cherry Blossoms and a shishi-odoshi when he shows up, as well as motion lines and intense music (which the character can hear and see, but the player can't) when he attacks you. Though the KWE was removed from the game in 2015, this applies to Chori Zo. Even more obvious on her trading card. The entirety of the 2012 holiday event was this, when Uncle Crimbo fired his workers and replaced them with Japanese culture elves whose names are a mishmash of Anime titles and Gratuitous Japanese. Culminates in an interactive Humongous Mecha fight. The exclusive item? A manga comic book that lets you do the fight again. | |

Hilariously enough, the sea horse side-quest is also one massive reference to My Little Pony as the seahorse's random name generator produces a pony-like name and it's implied to be as colorful as they are. | |

Universal Poison | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_e01cbcae | comment |
Universal Poison: Used to be the case; now there are multiple kinds of being poisoned. And they stack. Instead of sapping your HP, it's a debuff to all stats. The various poisons range from Hardly Poisoned At All (ignorable) to Majorly Poisoned (which likely drops your stats to 1). Poisons that the player can use in combat, such as from the Snakewhip skill, the Poison Pen weapon, or the Lampblade effect, are HP-sapping effects rather than stat-decreasers. Most of them do most of their damage in the round they take effect, then drops in subsequent rounds, though a rare few (pufferfish spines and candycaine powder) geometrically increase in effect from round to round. | |

Whole-Plot Reference: The entire White Citadel quest chain was, until 9/19/14, a gigantic reference to Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle, including the fratboys, cheetah, and pretty much everything about it. Now it's a whole plot reference to The Odyssey. The Vanya's Castle area item is one for 8-bit Castlevania. The Path of the Plumber challenge run is full of references to Super Mario Bros., with the gameplay being based on Paper Mario 64. | |

Load-Bearing Boss | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_e4cf1ef0 | comment |
Load-Bearing Boss: The three possible outcomes of the Level 12 Quest each end with either one or both of the bases being blown up after defeating the boss(es). The game does justify the explosion, though. The end of the Nemesis quest always ends with the volcano exploding just enough to destroy the Nemesis's lair, but not the rest of the island. The boss fight of the procedurally-generated GameInformPowerDailyPro Dungeon always ends with the line: <Boss Name> crashes to the ground with a howl. "I shall have my revenge!/I will return!", he screams, and the ground begins to shake under you. The stones of the villain's lair crack and collapse as you run, and you leap from the structure just in time to avoid being buried in the wreckage alongside <Boss Name>. | |

All of the comedians in Hell's comedy club are subject to some bashing. Larry of the Field of Signs, whose observational humor the game repeatedly mocks as repetitive and uncreative.

No Endor Holocaust: Averted, actually when Corman invaded Valhalla. The players managed to destroy his Bone Star, but all of the debris destroyed Valhalla. Fortunately, time passes differently there, so it was instantly rebuilt better than ever. Played straight in a sidequest that turns you into a Kingdom-sized behemoth and lets you stomp around on everything. No matter what you do, you cannot cause any permanent damage. | |

Impossible Thief: Goes hand-in-hand with Impossible Item Drop above. The Pickpocket skill can steal some pretty ridiculous stuff, since stealable items are (usually) taken from the monster-in-question's normal drop list- For one example, there exists an enemy called a Black Adder, which drops adder bladders. Normally, this makes sense- you're taking the bladder from an enemy you just killed. With the Picpocket skill, the PC somehow manages to steal a bladder right out of a snake while said snake is still alive! The developers handwave this sort of thing by claiming the Black Adder was carrying around an adder bladder it got from a different Black Adder. | |

Commonplace Rare | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_f0653419 | comment |
The Dead Guy's Memento item gives you a bunch of extra adventures every day, and it seems easy enough to get: just combine a very common Dead Guy's Watch with a somewhat-rare, but affordable photograph item. The catch? Instead of gluing them together the normal way, you need to use a special piece of tape which you might get from a gambling game in a high-level dungeon (and nowhere else). It's a two-layered Common Place Rare! | |

Rat Stomp | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_f3dabc11 | comment |
Rat Stomp: Parodied with the Typical Tavern quest. The original was a straight example, but after a revamp way back in 2005, you're now required to find and turn off the "rat faucet" that's flooding the basement. A more recent revamp lampshaded the change (since some players were still asking how many rats they had to kill). | |

Wake-Up Call Boss | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_f4a0408f | comment |
Wake-Up Call Boss: Even players who have ascended dozens of times still have trouble with the Goblin King and Bonerdagon. The Knob Goblin King, the second mandatory boss in the game, manages to hit significantly harder than the previous boss, to the point where he can often defeat a player in only one or two hits. What makes him especially difficult, however, is that you're forced to fight him while wearing one of two outfits: either the Knob Goblin Harem Girl Disguise or the Knob Goblin Elite Guard Uniform. The Elite Guard Uniform locks your character to a melee weapon that Moxie and Mysticality classes will have a hard time using, and the Harem Girl Disguise is composed of extremely weak equipment with very low damage absorption. Pair this with the Knob Goblin King's ridiculously high 100% initiative bonus, and a character can easily get beaten up before they can act. It's not unheard of for a player to skip the quest until they've leveled up further. The Bonerdagon, a boss normally fought midway through the main series of quests, is made much tougher than he otherwise would be by the fact that he can sometimes block you from using your skills. For Mysticality classes, who live and die by their combat spells, this makes fighting him especially risky. | |

Video Game Cruelty Potential | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_f87c42d4 | comment |
Video Game Cruelty Potential: Seal Clubbers can learn a skill that destroys equipment for usable items. Some pieces of equipment are living animals. So you can smash a turtle into dust. As opposed to meat-pasting live spiky turtles into pieces of armor and then wearing them as a Turtle Tamer. Jick explained on his radio show on November 4, 2013 that the equipment made from living animals isn't pulverized entirely. The turtle is only hit on the edge and will be totally fine. It just scoots off into a sewer, where it will join its brethren and you get a little bit of the powder that you knocked off of its shell. No turtles get harmed in the process! | |

Running Gag | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Jick's apparent obsession with the number 11. It's ridiculous. It's not even funny. The innumerable They Might Be Giants references, leading to players often calling the devs "the powers that might be giants." The frequent occurrences of "because hey, free [noun]," all of which reference the same obscure joke from "Deep Thoughts with Jack Handey". Various items have names which are metered in catalectic trochaic tetrameter (automatic catapult, for example), accompanied by a Lampshade Hanging which notes that it can be sung to a particular tune. "Camptown Races" is alluded to by no fewer than ten items, and "London Bridge" and "In the Hall of the Mountain King" get a mention too. Numerous descriptions make the "mistake" of ending a sentence with a preposition (which is, in fact, perfectly acceptable), and then correct it with varying degrees of clumsiness. Any cake item in the game will have a reference to the lyrics of a song by Cake in the description, the consume message, or both. There are several items and events in the game that refer to the library. You know, the one across the street from the Sleazy Back Alley. Most items involving a six-pack of beers will incorrectly state, in either the use text or description, that it contains eight beers. This sometimes extends to other items that depict six of something. The concept of salad being hilarious, which comes from the March 27, 2008 radio show when Jick and Doc Galaktik wondered what the world would be like if salad was the only funny thing in the world. | |

It is also possible to get hit in the same place twice like "giving you splinters in your neck, elbow, and neck."

One-Winged Angel: But of course. There's one Affectionate Parody version - the Naughty Sorceress - and one straight version - the Nemesis. The way they achieve it is different too: the Sorceress says the old "behold my true form" line while the Nemesis calls on the Demon Lord of Revenge. There's also an inversion - you fight Ed the Undying seven times in a row, but he gets weaker with each adventure. | |

You Shouldn't Know This Already | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_fc85fadc | comment |
You Shouldn't Know This Already: The recipe system lets you try to combine different ingredients to make new items. If you attempt a legitimate combination, the recipe is added to your recipe book forever. If your combination doesn't do anything, it tells you so, and neither of the ingredients are consumed. However, some recipes only work if you currently have a particular skill, like Pastamastery, and if you lose that skill, it won't let you use the recipe, even though it's in your recipe book. Furthermore, a handful of recipes can only be used if you've already learned the recipe from a specific source. For example, white chocolate chip brownies can only be made after you use the special item "mother's secret recipe". Trying to cook the ingredients otherwise yields the message "It seems like that should work... but it does not." | |

Later, after you do a task for him, he realizes he can't pay you in money because someone stole his wallet. Even later, he sends you on a quest to get an important item for him, which turns out to be a wallet chain.

Buffy Speak: A common source of humour. E.g. "Bones scatter across the deck like uh, something that scatters. Mice? I'll go with mice." | |

Encounter Bait | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_ff033bb8 | comment |
Encounter Bait: There are various potions, skills, and equipment that you can use to increase the rate of combat encounters. There are also skills and items that can be used mid-combat to temporarily make you more likely to encounter the particular type of enemy you're facing. Since you only have a limited number of adventures per day, changing the encounter rate depending on what would help you reach your current goal faster is a regular part of the game's strategy. | |

Item Crafting | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_ff34c05a | comment |
Most of the Item Crafting is done simply by taking two items and clicking the craft button. Some items require Meat Paste or a better oven or cocktail shaker, but they're only an obstacle for the very beginning of your quest. | |

Everything Trying to Kill You | |
| Kingdom of Loathing (Video Game) / int_ffd816e7 | comment |
Everything Trying to Kill You : There are loads of strange and unusual monsters in this game. You're the reason this trope is in play - the main quest ends with you ascending to a higher plane of existence, which the Council of Loathing claim is the only way peace can come to the Kingdom. | |
