Legend of Grimrock is a 2012 indie RPG developed by Almost Human Ltd and available for Windows, Mac and Linux. Played from a First-Person Perspective with a party of four Player Characters, the game is a throwback to Dungeon Crawling classics like Dungeon Master and Eye of the Beholder.The game begins when four prisoners, created by the player, are accused of vile acts of treason by the court, but by the "mercy" of the king, the prisoners are given a chance to atone for their crimes via the ancient prison of Mount Grimrock. If the prisoners can make their way through the prison and escape it via the mountain's base, their crimes will be forgiven and they will be free to go. There is just one problem: Mount Grimrock is a den of evil and mystery, home to countless monsters, traps and other dangers. Will you survive?The game is played in real-time, and provides the players with many puzzles to solve, harkening back to the RPGs of yore. A sizable amount of fan-made campaigns for the first game (created with its built-in Dungeon Editor) are available through Steam Workshop and Nexusmods.Due to the positive reception of the first game, a sequel titled Legend of Grimrock II was produced and released on October 15, 2014. Set on an Island of Mystery instead of inside a single dungeon complex, it adds a new race (the cheese-loving, mutation-prone Ratlings) and several new classes, along with an overworld connecting various dungeons. | |

Peninsula of Power Leveling | |
| Legend of Grimrock (Video Game) / int_16972b3c | comment |
Peninsula of Power Leveling: II has something like this. In Herder's Den, there's a boss consisting of a number of fungi that spawns various Herders indefinitely until they're killed. If you go there when you're supposed to, before entering The Ruins of Desarune, the fight is quite hard and you'll be happy to just kill all fungi before getting overwhelmed, and you can't leave the place until you do so. If you postpone your visit here until later (nothing stops you from doing so, as there are no items required for further exploration) you can exploit infinitely respawning enemies here for level grinding. In fact, killing the top-right fungus makes that part a good spot for resting, as it is on the side with single entrance that you can even block temporarily with force field, as long as you didn't destroy nearby branches. | |

Playing with Fire | |
| Legend of Grimrock (Video Game) / int_1cc9f5e5 | comment |
Playing with Fire: Mages using fire magic seems to have been a favored approach in both games: In the first game, you get the most items that buff it (between the Fire tome on Level 6 and Zhandul's Orb, an item that greatly boosts fire spells) and the large number of Uggardians in the mid- to late-game levels give a strong incentive for you to invest enough skill points to at least cast a Fire Shield. In comparison, the other schools of magic get less attention and are more circumstantial in providing direct advantages against enemies and obstacles. In the second game, the strongest spell bar none (Meteor Storm) is fire-elemental, and considering it's the only spell requiring its respective magic school to be maxed, it gives an incentive to do so. | |

Not the Intended Use | |
| Legend of Grimrock (Video Game) / int_20e20e99 | comment |
Not the Intended Use: Minotaurs were designed to be powerful but potentially inaccurate front line warriors with high health, strength, and defense, but low stats in other areas (like accuracy). Logically they'd be best fit to be a front line tank right? In the first game, they actually work best as rogue-ish archers due to bow damage scaling off strength rather than dexterity. This is due to the fact that in the first game projectiles never miss, so minotaurs' low accuracy doesn't matter with a bow, but their high strength certainly does. In 2, even projectiles can miss, making dexterity much more important for an archer and making Minotaurs not as suited for the role anymore. | |

Trap Door | |
| Legend of Grimrock (Video Game) / int_27fdc960 | comment |
Trap Door: These can be found throughout the dungeon and have to be closed to be crossed over. Or you could fall down them, since they all lead to isolated areas in the floor below you, with teleports leading back up, and sometimes containing secrets! Sometimes you find nothing, and this too is lampshaded in one of Toorum's notes found after falling down a particular pit: | |

Awesome, but Impractical | |
| Legend of Grimrock (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: Many of the final perks in skill trees. For example the final perk of Spellcraft reduces all spell costs by 50% which is great on paper — but getting it also means your mage won't have any real spells, making them dead weight for most of the game and the perk itself practically pointless. The Ogre Hammer. It hits as hard as the Icefall Hammer and you obtain it 5 floors earlier, but the cost for that damage is an even greater accuracy penalty than most maces have. The Hand Cannon in the second game, a massive cannon that can deal well over 200 damage in a single shot. The downside is that it's a massive cannon, and even if you strip your firearms user to just the bare essentials they'll probably only be able to carry a few shots worth of cannonballs before they're over-encumbered. On top of that, the cannonballs themselves are a limited resource, with most of them being in secret areas. Even worse, to be able to even use it you have to have Firearms skill on at least 4, and Firearms is the most useless skill in the entire game. | |

Chained Heat: Why are the four prisoners walking in such a tight 2x2 formation in the first place? As the manual states and the intro shows you, the four are literally shackled together at the legs. The manual explains further that this is because the King who sentences prisoners to Mount Grimrock believes they would have no choice but to work together this way. | |

| Legend of Grimrock (Video Game) / int_2f253c94 | comment |
Glass Cannon: Mages, which is why their place is in the back row. Watch out for ambushes or traps and spells that damage the whole group, though. Rogues usually retire to the back row after picking up the Level 12 Assassination ability (melee attacks can be used from the back) or using missile weapons, after which attention to their protection and vitality usually wanes. | |

Lethal Joke Character | |
| Legend of Grimrock (Video Game) / int_36249acd | comment |
Lethal Joke Character: The farmer class in the sequel starts off with rather weak stats and about as useful in combat as one would expect an actual farmer to be compared to career warriors and wizards. However, farmers have one advantage that, if properly taken advantage of, makes them surprisingly effective: they gain XP from eating food rather than fighting enemies. With the right combination of XP-boosting items (see Sequence Breaking below) and constant binging, a farmer can over-level and outstrip the rest of the party. | |

Squishy Wizard | |
| Legend of Grimrock (Video Game) / int_38047858 | comment |
Squishy Wizard: Mechanically encouraged. While there are skills available to Mages that boost their defenses, it's generally a better idea to invest those skill points into magic skills so as to unlock more and more powerful spells. Mages also have very little health compared to other classes, and the fact that they otherwise have no use for strength means they'll probably be encumbered even if they do wear heavier armor. The sequel averts this with the Battlemage class, which gets some defensive bonuses and considerably more health than the Wizard. | |

Rare Candy | |
| Legend of Grimrock (Video Game) / int_39aeb09e | comment |
Rare Candy: In the first game, there are three hidden types of magical tomes in the game, each giving permanent bonuses to the character who reads it. Second game keeps the tomes while expanding their variety and throws in potions that permanently increase specific stat by one. These can be also crafted by anyone with maxed Alchemy. Unfortunately, the number of Crystal Flowers required to make them is limited ... but if you have Alchemist in your party, they will duplicate as long as at least one is in their inventory. | |

Boring, but Practical | |
| Legend of Grimrock (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6 | comment |
Boring, but Practical: The Light spell in both games. It does Exactly What It Says on the Tin, lighting up the area around the party. This means no one in the party needs to carry around torches, freeing up some inventory space and the hand they would have had to hold the torch in. It also works underwater. Orb of Radiance provides constant Light effect, meaning you'll never ever need torches once you find this. It has to be in hand, but since it provides bonuses to your Mage, there's not really any reason not to have it, until you find Zhandul's Orb at least. Some low-level perks are incredibly handy and relatively easy to get (at least when compared to ultimate perks), such as cooldown reduction for weapons/magic, ability to hit enemies from back row, elimination of evasion penalty for wearing heavy armor. "Forcefield" spell in second game. What it does is that it surrounds the enemy in front of you by force field cage, preventing them from moving, attacking and being attacked. Doesn't sound too exciting, but in this game the biggest problem is being swarmed by enemies, something this spell helps a lot with if used tactically. While it has a complex casting sequence being second behind only "Dispel", it has otherwise low requirements, low casting cost and fast recovery, making it easy to use it continuously and in tandem with offensive spells. It is also very handy to block fireballs shooting from the walls when dealing with traps and puzzles. The Rope in the sequel. What it does is that it allows you to climb down through hole without injury (that is, if that floor doesn't lead to another hole). Since in this game jumping through hole has also good chance to cause an injury to a foot or a leg which can be removed only by using healing potion or a crystal, it becomes quite handy if you don't want to reload a lot. | |

Stat Sticks: Each person can hold two weapons (unless it's missile weapon, in which case you have to have ammo in off hand).

Zerg Rush: Scavengers◊ are some of the weakest enemies in the game, but they tend to appear in such overwhelming numbers that the few times you encounter them are some of the most dangerous situations you'll find yourself in. Exaggerated by the Fighter's Challenge, which teleports you into the middle of a 7x7 grid filled with Scavengers and is one of the hardest battles in the game. In the sequel, the late-game area Barren Desert is a fight against nearly a hundred mummies, an early-game enemy that hardly poses a threat by this point. The zone also contains two Magma Golems, so the real threat of the mummies is that their sheer number makes it easy to get cornered with a Magma Golem approaching.... | |

Infinity -1 Sword: Sword of Nex for swords.

Orb of Radiance for Mages. It boosts Willpower and Energy and also generates constant Light effect, meaning you can ditch Torches for the rest of the game. | |

Shock and Awe | |
| Legend of Grimrock (Video Game) / int_4c798fd5 | comment |
Shock and Awe: Air Magic (which is mostly based around Lightning) seems to be favored by developers right after Fire Magic. In I the Infinity +1 Sword is lightning-based and The Final Boss is vulnerable to shock damage. In II each ranged spell requires at least one skill point in Air Magic, and the ultimate Fire Magic spell requires three, making it more or less essential. It also comes with handy Invisibility spell if you don't to fight monsters or you want to have a drop on an ambush when picking up plot-critical item or a nice weapon. | |

Standard Status Effects | |
| Legend of Grimrock (Video Game) / int_4e16382e | comment |
Standard Status Effects: Both of games have a host of them: I has Dead (pretty self-explanatory), Poison (standard damage-over-time effect), Paralyzed (character cannot act, wears off on its own), Diseased (health and energy won't recover over time), Starving (same as Diseased, but eating food will remove it), Burdened and Immobile (happens when character's load surpasses 80% and 100% of his carrying capacity respectively; in the former case the movement gets slower and camera gets wobblier, in second case you can't move at all). II keeps all of the above and adds limb injuries that have various effects (can't cast spells, can't regenerate energy, decreased carrying capacity ...) and can be only cured by a potion or Crystal, Blinded (the camera blocks your field of vision, which wears off on its own) and Petrified (character is turned to stone and cannot act, can be removed by Antidote). | |

Hit-and-Run Tactics | |
| Legend of Grimrock (Video Game) / int_4f23179 | comment |
Hit-and-Run Tactics: By design the most effective combat strategy in the game, provided you have the space to do so and don't get surrounded by enemies. A rather humorous consequence of this is getting an enemy parked on the other side of a door or gate, raise it, immediately pound it with an attack by your entire party and then close the gate before they get a chance to fight back. You can even rest between killing enemies while doing this, basically forcing the monsters to just sit there and watch the prisoners fall asleep right in the middle of combat. | |

Death Is a Slap on the Wrist | |
| Legend of Grimrock (Video Game) / int_50727f8d | comment |
Death Is a Slap on the Wrist: Unlike others in this genre. If party members die, they may easily be brought back to life at no cost at a Healing Checkpoint. The worst that may happen is they'll miss out on experience points while they are dead. | |

Power Crystal | |
| Legend of Grimrock (Video Game) / int_51bf74d6 | comment |
Power Crystal: In both games, giant Blue Crystals allow you to save and have power to restore even dead person and remove every negative status effect except starvation. The sequel introduces crystal shards that have various effects. The blue shard is even presumably the piece of the above crystal, since it has the same color and effect, albeit it disappears after use. Also Power Gems in the sequel. | |

Not Completely Useless | |
| Legend of Grimrock (Video Game) / int_54ec2f0c | comment |
Not Completely Useless: "Darkness" spell in first game cancels out Light spell. You'll almost never want to use this since you usually want to see things around you. However Weapon of Power shows only in total darkness and this spell provides fast way of cancelling Light spell you most likely applied before. 2 has "Dispel", which is a low-damage spell with an awkward casting sequence (the only spell in the game that requires all nine runes). The only time you will ever use it is against Air Elementals — because it's the only spell that can damage them. For the same reason, the Ethereal blade. It passes through solid matter, thus dealing no damage to material enemies, making it useless in most circumstances, but is handy against Air Elementals. | |

Suspicious Video-Game Generosity | |
| Legend of Grimrock (Video Game) / int_5561eef8 | comment |
Suspicious Video-Game Generosity: Just before the third level, you come across a sack which contains the items necessary to create potions. The antidote comes especially useful in the third level, since it is full of poisonous spiders. Ceremonial Chamber in the sequel. It's the top level of the Pyramid of Umas, reached after getting through extremely gruelling combat and puzzles on the lower levels. It contains several herbs and potions, some great equipment upgrades, and no enemies whatever. It also contains a teleporter... which dumps you in the middle of Barren Desert, a zone swarming with mummies. You will have to, at the very least, fight your way through dozens to claim a safe corner for your party. | |

Since getting to that point means you've probably already beaten almost every encounter in the game, there aren't many enemies left to use it on. | |

Dump Stat | |
| Legend of Grimrock (Video Game) / int_5d1eb74d | comment |
Dump Stat: In the first game, Dexterity is this for archers oddly enough. Dexterity increases your accuracy, but ranged weapons never miss, so archers don't actually need dexterity. This makes minotaurs the best archers in the first game as their lack of dexterity won't be missed (hah) but their high strength certainly is valuable. The sequel rectifies this by making ranged attacks capable of missing just like melee attacks, so dexterity becomes much more important for ranged fighters. | |

Upon defeating the Island Master, you find his last letter, explaining the history of the island and his true purpose in bringing you to it-he was the guardian of Nexus (home to the words of creation, the incantations used to shape the world), and sought to test your suitability as his replacement. For defeating him, your party inherits his title of Island Master, ownership of Castle Nex, and his role as guardian, and you can now enter Nexus. | |

Challenge Run: There is an Old School Mode, wherein the player doesn't have the luxury of the automap. The sequel goes further, giving you the option to make all save crystals single-use should you feel so inclined, or even make saving only possible at crystals (likely to encourage speedruns). All of these are difficulty "modifiers" rather than full-fledged difficulty modes, meaning you can use them on Easy mode to make them more manageable. Or you can use all of them on Hard mode for a particularly brutal self-imposed challenge. | |

Point of No Return: While you can backtrack as many floors as you like at any time to search for treasure and secrets, you should do so before inserting the four mechanical parts on floor 12. | |

Boss in Mook Clothing | |
| Legend of Grimrock (Video Game) / int_7b7965dd | comment |
Boss in Mook Clothing: Ogres. The first time you fight one on Level 6 it certainly feels like a boss fight; the gate to the previous level closes behind you and you're left to hunt it (or be hunted by it) in the large main area of the level. If they see you from a distance, they'll storm towards you with a ramming attack that damages the whole party. They present a tougher challenge than anything you've faced so far and don't hit any less hard when you level up. Level 12 gives you the Wardens, the toughest enemy you'll fight in the game. They use the same charging attack as Ogres but are much more powerful. Luckily there are only 4 of them. | |

Always Accurate Attack | |
| Legend of Grimrock (Video Game) / int_7ba493b0 | comment |
Always Accurate Attack: In the first game, ranged attacks such as spells and throwing weapons have a 100% accuracy. Since accuracy is based on Dexterity and damage on Strength, this actually makes the strong but clumsy minotaurs the most effective archers. The sequel removes the perfect accuracy for ranged weapons, but spells still play this trope straight. | |

Herd-Hitting Attack | |
| Legend of Grimrock (Video Game) / int_7cb1cbb5 | comment |
Herd-Hitting Attack: The biggest advantage of spells over other attacks is their ability to damage every enemy on a single tile. For the same reason they're also one of the biggest threats against your group. Some weapons have a chance to cause such effect on hit, and bombs do this as well. | |

Too Awesome to Use | |
| Legend of Grimrock (Video Game) / int_7d561d58 | comment |
Too Awesome to Use: Blueberry Pie. Only one is in each game and serves the same function as other food, so most likely it stays in your inventory until the end of the game. Various charged weapons, such as The Fire Blade. They allow to cast a spell when used (for example, Fire Blade shoots Fireball), but the number of charges is very limited and they cannot be recharged. Though even empty weapon is handy, as it occasionally causes some after-damage (Empty Fire Blade has a chance to cause Fireburst), but it's still a considerable downgrade. Best to keep this for Fighter's Challenge. The sequel has red crystal shards that can be used to recharge them, but the amount of those can be counted on one hand and thus they themselves are an example of this trope. Bombs. You won't find many of them. Each of them damages everything on given tile. Again, you'll most likely use them for hardest challenges of the game. The sequel allows you to craft them and if you have Alchemist, they'll be able to grow more plants required to make them in their inventory, mitigating this somewhat. | |

Life Drain | |

Life Drain: The Assassin's Dagger in the first game does exactly this with every hit. The second game has Backbiter, a dagger which can be obtained in the first location provided you can and are willing to use Gold Key to obtain it, which can drain health with its special attack. The Bone Sword's special ability in the sequel is an attack that transfers the enemy's health to the wielder. In an odd variation of Revive Kills Zombie, using this ability on an undead will damage the wielder instead. | |

Fantasy Character Classes | |
| Legend of Grimrock (Video Game) / int_905af87e | comment |
Fantasy Character Classes: The sequel adds a number of them, which affect a character's starting health and energy (and determines their growth per level), and confer a few unique traits. Fighter: Fighters have strong healthpools and growth, and they charge their special attacks in half the time for 25% less energy than other classes with melee weapons. Rogue: Rogues have little health, but don't suffer nearly as big a damage penalty for Dual Wielding as other classes, and increase their Critical Hit chance by 1% per level when using ranged or throwing weapons. Wizard note formerly known as Mage in the first game: Wizards have poor health, but excellent energy growth. They can cast spells without needing a magical implement, and receive an extra two points in Willpower at first level. Alchemist: Alchemists can grow more of any herb they're holding in their inventory, increasing the number of potions and bombs you can make. Additionally, any firearms they use are 50% less likely to malfunction. Barbarian: Barbarians have the largest base healthpool and the biggest health growth. In addition, they increase their Strength by one point every level-up, and can become absurdly strong very quickly. Battle Mage: Battle mages, like wizards, can cast spells without magical implements, but have better health, reduce the weight of worn armor by half, and gain bonuses to Protection and Resistance when holding a magical implement. Knight: Knights have the same healthpools and growth as fighters, but are more defensively-minded. They gain one point of Protection every level, reduce the weight of worn armor by half, and increase the evasion bonus of shields by 50%. Farmer: Farmers have the worst health and energy of any class, start with no skillpoints, and do not gain level up from killing monsters, instead gaining experience by eating food. | |

Absurdly High Level Cap | |

Absurdly High Level Cap: In the first game, reaching the skill cap of 50 requires over 100,000 experience points, with monsters giving around a thousand at most. It's reachable with normal endgame stats, but only if you put every level-up into a single skill. It's unknown what the level cap of the sequel is, but it's at least in the quadruple digits. Even a completionist playthrough will only get enough xp to reach level 14 by the end of the game. | |

Mighty Glacier: Ogres and especially Wardens move and turn very slowly, but they can potentially kill a character in one hit. Fighters, especially Minotaur fighters, with maces or axes, maces with accent on survivability and axes on damage. Both are quite slow compared to the rest of your party on high levels. Heavy weapons (ie. Maces, Axes) users in II. Those have longer cooldowns can cannot be truly dual-wielded like Light Weapons, but deal much higher damage. | |

Hand Cannon | |
| Legend of Grimrock (Video Game) / int_9cde2df1 | comment |
The Hand Cannon in the second game, a massive cannon that can deal well over 200 damage in a single shot. The downside is that it's a massive cannon, and even if you strip your firearms user to just the bare essentials they'll probably only be able to carry a few shots worth of cannonballs before they're over-encumbered. On top of that, the cannonballs themselves are a limited resource, with most of them being in secret areas. Even worse, to be able to even use it you have to have Firearms skill on at least 4, and Firearms is the most useless skill in the entire game. | |

Foreshadowing: You get rampant dreams with a being who is supposedly in the bottom of the dungeon. The background of the dream is surrounded by cogs, which hint at its mechanical nature. Also, in the first level, you can activate a switch which leads into a secret area which has an ominous statue and some loot. It's an Illithid-like being, which you will fight deeper down the dungeon. The foreshadowing starts even before then. The introduction movie at the start of the game shows much larger versions of the ominous statues standing around the entrance hole to the dungeon. | |

Respawning Enemies | |
| Legend of Grimrock (Video Game) / int_a121abc7 | comment |
Respawning Enemies: While most monsters never respawn, there are a few exceptions, generally either for a puzzle or to prevent making the game Unwinnable due to running out of food sources. | |

No Experience Points for Medic | |
| Legend of Grimrock (Video Game) / int_a22ae730 | comment |
No Experience Points for Medic: Characters who don't damage the enemies you kill will quickly fall behind in experience, which is especially a problem for your back row characters early on. Equipping them with spears is a good idea, allowing them to attack and be useful until ranged weapons and spells become available. Averted in the sequel: the entire party gains experience whenever anyone kills monsters. | |

Infinity +1 Sword | |
| Legend of Grimrock (Video Game) / int_a5e02e9e | comment |
Infinity +1 Sword: The Dismantler for swords. Not the most powerful weapon but considered the best when accounting for its speed and the bonus lightning damage it can sometimes inflict. It has even dedicated floor for it and you can skip most of it if you decide to ignore it. It makes the rest of the game considerably easier though. Zhandul's Orb is this for staves despite being, well, Orb. Besides providing nifty bonuses for your casters it also boosts offensive fire spells, which are probably the most useful. Crookhorn Longbow for missile weapons, The Icefall Hammer for maces and the Ancient Axe for, well, axes. II has the Bane axe and the Meteor Hammer for heavy weapons. Which one is the best pretty much depends on the player and situation (Meteor Hammer has the highest DPS and Meteor Storm as its charged attack, but its fire damage can be a hindrance on occasion and Meteor Storm has limited number of charges, plus the weapon is much harder to get; Bane on the other hand deals slightly smaller but consistent non-elemental damage). Sickle Sword for light weapons and Lightning bow for missile weapons are other examples. | |

Subsystem Damage | |
| Legend of Grimrock (Video Game) / int_a6653039 | comment |
Subsystem Damage: In second game, in addition to HP each limb can be damaged as well. This has a number of effects depending on what was hurt, ie. inability to use weapon that is in damaged hand etc. This is simply healed by using a potion or touching a crystal, but it makes jumping into holes much more annoying unless you have a Rope. | |

Already Undone for You: At least Toorum and no doubt other convicts have gone through the dungeon before, but all the traps, treasures and monsters are still there. Lampshaded by one of Toorum's notes. It's heavily implied that it's Goromorgs who maintain the dungeon and its traps. Which seems to be backed by the fact that they're the only thing barring you that is able to open doors. | |

Brutal Bonus Level | |
| Legend of Grimrock (Video Game) / int_be3e7584 | comment |
Various charged weapons, such as The Fire Blade. They allow to cast a spell when used (for example, Fire Blade shoots Fireball), but the number of charges is very limited and they cannot be recharged. Though even empty weapon is handy, as it occasionally causes some after-damage (Empty Fire Blade has a chance to cause Fireburst), but it's still a considerable downgrade. Best to keep this for Fighter's Challenge. The sequel has red crystal shards that can be used to recharge them, but the amount of those can be counted on one hand and thus they themselves are an example of this trope. | |

Many of the final perks in skill trees. For example the final perk of Spellcraft reduces all spell costs by 50% which is great on paper — but getting it also means your mage won't have any real spells, making them dead weight for most of the game and the perk itself practically pointless. | |

Achilles' Heel | |
| Legend of Grimrock (Video Game) / int_d7639dba | comment |
Achilles' Heel: The unusual Air Elementals in the second game are Fragile Speedsters that inflict trivial damage, but they're virtually impervious to everything in your arsenal save for two specific things: the Dispel spell (requiring a magic-user with one skill point of Water magic) or the Ethereal Blade (only available in a remote location in the Cemetery). Better not let yourself get cornered by one. | |

Rogue: Rogues have little health, but don't suffer nearly as big a damage penalty for Dual Wielding as other classes, and increase their Critical Hit chance by 1% per level when using ranged or throwing weapons. | |

Action Bomb | |
| Legend of Grimrock (Video Game) / int_dae3999d | comment |
Action Bomb: Also in the second game, Fire Elementals are fast-moving flaming clouds that zoom towards you and blow up in your face before dying. If you want to get experience points from them, you'll have to hit them quickly with ranged attacks. They're usually hidden in secret compartments in walls that open after you activate certain triggers. | |

Played With in II. The Castle of Nex is the highest structure on the island and while you get to it quite soon, getting inside will take you most of the game. The climatic Final Boss takes place on its roof. However, if you're going for 100% Completion the True Final Boss is fought elsewhere. | |

Guns Are Worthless | |
| Legend of Grimrock (Video Game) / int_eb4ee9eb | comment |
Guns Are Worthless: The sequel adds firearms, which have a high chance of jamming and damage that is completely unaffected by the character's stats. While the latter sounds like it could be useful in the hands of a character with low dexterity (such as serving as a backup weapon for a mage to use while their energy recharges), you still need high dexterity to actually hit the things you're aiming at since that's the stat that decides accuracy, and any character with high enough dexterity to reliably hit things with a gun would inevitably deal more damage with a bow or crossbow since a character's dexterity is added to the damage of those weapons. Also, unlike arrows, bolts, and darts, bullets cannot be recovered after they've been used. | |

Sequence Breaking: In the sequel, Sleet Island and the back half of Cemetery are locked behind puzzles whose solutions are found in the Archives, requiring completion of the Ruins of Desarune dungeon to reach them. Once you know the puzzle solutions, on a second playthrough you can access these areas in the first hour of the game, which lets you get a very early Spirit Mirror Pendant (which increases XP gain by 25%, and so is worth more the earlier it's found). | |
