Imprisoned within the castle, he manages to escape 18 years later and proceeds to take over Kyrandia using his magical powers. Meanwhile, Brandon, a young man living in the forest with his grandfather Kallak, finds out that he is the son of the murdered king and queen, and that he must stop Malcolm from his evil designs and retrieve the Kyragem, center of the balance of nature. In order to do this, he must gather magic himself from the Mystics of the land.The second game is about Zanthia, a young female alchemist who is chosen by her fellow mystics to travel to the center of the world and retrieve a magical anchor stone, since Kyrandia has been disappearing piece by piece. A giant glove, The Hand, seems to be behind all this.The third game sets Malcolm, the Big Bad of the first game, as the central character. He has finally been freed from his statue prison and seeks to clear his name from the crime of killing King William, if only so that he can finally get some sleep. | |

Addressing the Player: In the third installment Malcolm's Revenge, the player character is Malcolm, who was the Big Bad of the first game. Malcolm has been annoyed throughout the game by his good and evil shoulder angels, Gunther and Stewart, and he finally yells at the player about it. You must then decide whether he will keep Gunther, Stewart, or both. | |

Fake Longevity | |
| The Legend of Kyrandia (Video Game) / int_14184bc7 | comment |
Fake Longevity: In the second game, practically everything on Volcania is optional, from interacting with the fraudsters to making the flying shoes potion. If you pick up on the clues as to how to reach the centre of the world early enough, Zanthia won’t need to spend much time combing the beaches. Gathering all the items required to pay the salespeople for information will extended gameplay significantly. The third game falls into this hard by most chapters requiring you to do repetitive tasks. Repeatedly fishing, growing sesame and feeding sprouts to cows to get milk in the first section isn't so bad. It gets mind-numbing on the Isle of Cats, as you need to keep wandering around the jungle to collect bones which you then give to a dog so he'll go hide them and at the same time dig up gems you need to progress. Then in Limbo, you are forcibly summoned every few screens to the Queen to entertain her by playing Tic-Tac-Toe. At least that one can be slightly ameliorated by bribing one of her guards to do it instead, but again you need to do that every time, which requires you to wander around collecting the items to bribe him with. Perhaps the worst offender occurs during Malcolm’s return visit to Kyrandia; as there’s now an embargo on sesame seeds, you have to trade exactly the right item to Herman in order to proceed, which grows very tedious. | |

Chaos Architecture | |
| The Legend of Kyrandia (Video Game) / int_1527e9ae | comment |
Chaos Architecture: Locations from the first game which reappear in the third look drastically different, mainly due to being 3D rendered. Somewhat justified in that much of the damage Malcolm caused has been restored, but the bluff overlooking the castle isn’t nearly as steep and the exterior of Darm’s house takes on the bubble-shaped quality of other buildings Malcolm visits. Occasionally handwaved by Malcolm mentioning certain areas have been landscaped or redecorated. | |

| The Legend of Kyrandia (Video Game) / int_1bd4c0bf | comment |
Unwinnable by Design: In Fables & Fiends, if you eat both of your apples before putting them to use, or if you go to the castle island without the iron key, royal chalice and a flower. Earlier still, burning Kallak's note in the temple's incense burner before showing it to Brynn will instantly prevent you from progressing any further (at least in this instance that particular moment occurs right at the game's start, so there isn't far to backtrack). The Hand of Fate and Malcolm's Revenge, on the other hand, go out of their way to avoid this (see Anti-Frustration Features above). | |

Breaking the Fourth Wall | |
| The Legend of Kyrandia (Video Game) / int_1e7487cd | comment |
Breaking the Fourth Wall: In The Hand of Fate, Zanthia's dress gets torn while plummeting into a lava cavern. After she lands and recovers her bearings, it's only after she looks out towards the player and becomes alarmed that she uses her wardrobe spell to fix the problem. Also in The Hand of Fate, Zanthia yells at the “orchestra” to stop playing before reciting her poem, which causes the background music to cease. After obtaining a magic drum later in the game, Zanthia calls it a "Frank Klepacki Special" in reference to the then-Westwood employee. Late in Malcolm's Revenge, you get to decide whether to keep Gunther, Stewart, or both. Yes, you. | |

Palette Swap | |
| The Legend of Kyrandia (Video Game) / int_2557e3a9 | comment |
Palette Swap: A few of the inventory items from the first game, such as the note, potion flask, peridot and ankh, were originally created for Eye of the Beholder. They were reused here with modified colors. In the first game, Queen Katherine’s ghost is obviously Brynn’s sprite, just slightly redrawn. Their faces and animated movements are practically identical. In the second game, Zanthia's first four outfits are identical in style (blouse with long skirt), but each one has different color combinations. It isn't until she reaches the centre of the world that she begins wearing actual other styles. | |

Anachronism Stew | |
| The Legend of Kyrandia (Video Game) / int_259d5879 | comment |
Anachronism Stew: The first game was a classical medieval fantasy basically played straight. The sequels are full of anachronisms, especially Malcolm's Revenge. While the latter is set 20 Minutes into the Future, Malcolm still mentions several too-modern things from his past (such as the Fishcream Machine), which Retcons the Kyrandia universe into being more anachronistic than it looks. | |

Sudden Sequel Heel Syndrome: In the third game, it is implied (by Malcolm) that Kallak planned King William and Queen Katherine's murders, though given Malcolm's great hatred of Kallak, it's possible that he himself is pointing fingers at the wrong party. | |

Easter Egg | |
| The Legend of Kyrandia (Video Game) / int_29a39f6 | comment |
Easter Egg: The Alchemist's Magnet in The Hand of Fate normally just turns lead objects to gold and vice-versa. However, trying to use the item on most characters Zanthia encounters will have them divulge secrets about either themselves or how to pass certain puzzles. Using it on Faun before you leave the swamp, for example, has him say that he plans to throw a party at Zanthia's lab after she leaves. Two examples in The Hand of Fate both occur in the Mystic’s Cabin. Should you click the “Tinker’s Bell” on Zanthia, she’ll give a shout-out to several Westwood employees and characters. Harder to discover is the “secret potion” that’s not listed in the spellbook. Should Zanthia find the right ingredients and drink it, the keyboard becomes a “magical sound toy,” where pressing different keys will play the various sound effects heard throughout the game. When Malcolm visits Darm in Malcolm’s Revenge, he is unable to leave the hut and explore the Timbermist Woods. However, during his return visit at night, Malcolm can venture out the front door by clicking on the right side of the screen, despite there being no arrow indicating this is possible, and learn firsthand what Shadow Wraiths (the monsters that attacked Brandon in Book I’s labyrinth) truly are. | |

Trial-and-Error Gameplay: Occurs several times, including the mazes from the first and the third games. A notable example is the climactic fight at the end of the second game against the Hand. You have to click on specific areas of the screen for Zanthia to appropriately dodge and counterattack, with barely any indication where that is. The developers seem to recognize this as the game allows you to automatically restart from the start of the fight without loading a save. | |

Limited Wardrobe | |
| The Legend of Kyrandia (Video Game) / int_2a7e7af1 | comment |
Limited Wardrobe: Played straight in the first and third games, but averted in the second. Zanthia, the protagonist of the second game, changes outfits frequently by means of her handy wardrobe spell. Some are just palette swaps of her first outfit, but she also has a flower-print wrap dress, a casual hiking outfit, snow gear, and even a bathrobe/towel/fuzzy slippers combo. It isn't a case of Unlimited Wardrobe, though, since near the end of the game she mentions that the spell is almost empty. | |

Artifact Title | |
| The Legend of Kyrandia (Video Game) / int_2b7d29e1 | comment |
Artifact Title: Fables & Fiends was the original name of the series, while The Legend of Kyrandia was initially the title of just the first game. The original release of The Hand of Fate included no mention of Kyrandia in its title, and was specifically advertised as Fables & Fiends II: The Hand of Fate (it wasn't until the CD-ROM update that it became known as The Legend of Kyrandia Book Two). Ultimately, The Legend of Kyrandia proved the more recognizable and popular title, so the series was renamed accordingly. The American release of Malcolm's Revenge didn't even include the Fables & Fiends banner, though overseas releases did. For the trilogy boxset, Fables & Fiends was retconned into the first game's subtitle. | |

Darkness Equals Death | |
| The Legend of Kyrandia (Video Game) / int_2c77fae3 | comment |
Darkness Equals Death: The first game featured a segment that plays the trope quite literally. Just before the darkness, you have access to a bush full of glowing fruit, fire-berries. You have to carry the berries with you through a maze of caves so as to light them. But they can only be carried through three rooms. Go into a fourth room and they burn out. And if you're caught in one of the caves when it's pitch black, it's game over. You need to find another such bush within the maze to keep going. Gets a little tricky at points because you can be at the point where the next move burns out your berries, so most players save just before in case they take the wrong turn. | |

Wrongful Accusation Insurance: In Malcolm's Revenge, Malcolm repeatedly insists that he's innocent - of his initial crime, that is: killing the king. He is. He and everyone else politely ignore his other activities, both his villainy in the first game (turning the Mystics into stone, rampant destruction, taking over Kyrandia, etc.) or his Heroic Comedic Sociopath antics in this one. | |

Out of Focus | |
| The Legend of Kyrandia (Video Game) / int_32da91b8 | comment |
Out of Focus: Zanthia and Faun are the only characters from the first game to feature prominently in Book II. The other mystics and Brandywine cameo in the intro sequence, while Brandon is reduced to voiceover only (and even then only in the CD version). Though they are occasionally mentioned by Zanthia during the course of the game, along with Malcolm and Herman, they have no bearing on the plot. Most, however, would return in greater capacity for Book III. This also applies to the gemstones, as Book II is the only entry not to feature them as a major gameplay aspect. The only gem Zanthia can acquire is an amethyst, paltry compared to the numerous jewels Brandon and Malcolm obtain. | |

Heart Is an Awesome Power | |
| The Legend of Kyrandia (Video Game) / int_3496b29a | comment |
Heart Is an Awesome Power: In The Hand of Fate, after finding her spellbook from her first year of magician's school, Zanthia derides the sparse collection of "kiddie potions" inside. They turn out to be exactly what she needs to succeed in her adventure. In the third game Malcolm has to convince pirates to take him back to Kyrandia by showing that he still has magic at his command. The only magic he can get his hands on is a crystal mouse that can turn people into mice. Specifically, anthropomorphic mice of the same size the person used to be. While Malcolm himself finds this remarkably useless, the pirates themselves manage to use the same magic to take over Kyrandia. | |

Can't You Read the Sign?: In Malcolm's Revenge, one section involves navigating sheer-faced cliffs and waterfalls, and the only way to go is up or down with the aid of certain items. There are signs posted on each screen that inform what items are not allowed ("No climbing shoes", "No umbrellas", etc.) However, it's reverse psychology. The forbidden items are the items that will work. | |

Yet Another Stupid Death: In the second game's pirate bar, there is taffy and root beer available. They are meant to be used as potion ingredients, though it is possible to consume them instead—and indeed, there is no reason to do so. Doing this a few times has no drawbacks, but continuing this afterwards will induce a case of green gills. Repeating the cycle enough times afterwards will result in death. | |

Unintentionally Unwinnable: In Fables & Fiends, you can burn Kallak's note in the temple incense burner before giving it to Brynn. This will only happen if the note is selected by your cursor and then clicked directly on the flames. Burning it after showing her to free up inventory space is fine, however. (Note that this is only possible in version 1.3 and later. Clicking the note on the flames in 1.0 has no effect.) | |

Early Installment Character-Design Difference | |
| The Legend of Kyrandia (Video Game) / int_4348c929 | comment |
Early Installment Character-Design Difference: Zanthia's appearance in the first game is somewhat different to how she would look in the sequels. In particular, her face shape is slightly different and her hair a darker yellow. As well, she's never seen in the blue toga again after Book One, and the white blouse/blue skirt combo introduced in Book Two is easily her most recognizable outfit (indeed, it's the only one she's seen wearing in Book Three). Malcolm is far more evil and cartoonish looking in the first game, with an especially elongated face, wide smile and very frizzy hair. The third game tones down his facial proportions and grants him smoother, tamer hair (in the main game, that is...the 3D-rendered Malcolm in the introduction sequence recalls his Book One appearance). | |

Characterization Marches On: Writer Rick Gush revealed he found Zanthia’s minor role in the first game to be rather boring and had great fun fleshing out her personality for the sequel, turning her, in his words, into a medieval version of a smart-mouthed New York bitch. The Malcolm depicted in Book III is markedly different from his Book I counterpart. Gone is his archaic, sing-song rhyming style of speaking, replaced with a more casual vernacular and a great deal of sarcasm. | |

Paper-Thin Disguise: Malcolm can dress up with just a leather coat or a squirrel hat, and some characters like Dwayne, Darm and Vince will not recognize him. Zanthia is a bit harder to fool, as both the coat and squirrel hat are required for her to mistake Malcolm as Farmer Brown. Some characters, notably Herman and Brandywine, will never be fooled. In the case of Vince, the public bath employee, no disguise is actually needed. Malcolm can simply lie about not being Malcolm and Vince will believe him! (However, he will refuse to speak to him in the toy factory if he doesn't wear any disguise) | |

Long Song, Short Scene: The first game features a rather long and catchy tune which plays in exactly one room in the entire game: the cavern of emeralds hidden within the labyrinth, which is completely optional. Most players never hear more than 10 seconds of it, if even that much.note Thanks to a bug, there is a way to hear more of the song: enter the cavern while in Wil O’Wisp form, and the Emerald soundtrack will stick even if you leave the room. | |

Working on the Chain Gang: In Malcolm's Revenge, Malcolm can be sent to prison to perform menial labor: first making doilies, then chipping stone, and then chain-ganged into trimming hedges or rowing a boat. The player can either perform the labor and earn Malcolm's parole, or perform an inventive prison break, such as by flinging the pile of boulders to their target rather than ferrying a few chips at a time. "All done!" | |

Moon Logic Puzzle: A few one, but The Hand of Fate has one even the game points out. In one area Zanthia finds a lead statue, and turning it to gold causes a toybox to appear with a pair of important items (one removes an obstacle, one provides some backstory), prompting Zanthia to ask what the heck they have to do with each other. Outside of a rather esoteric potion recipe involving taking good care of statues serving as a hint, there doesn't seem to be any answer than because you have an item that turns lead into gold (and vice versa), you're just supposed to use it anytime an appropriate object appears, because gamelogic. | |

Cosmetically-Advanced Prequel | |
| The Legend of Kyrandia (Video Game) / int_55ea5620 | comment |
Cosmetically-Advanced Prequel: Not really a prequel, but the third game shows Kyrandia having more advanced and more modern-looking infrastuctures and technology, in contrast to the previous games that mostly kept a medieval European look. While you could excuse it as years having passed before Malcolm was revived - averting Medieval Stasis -, Malcolm himself remarks how some of those technologically-advanced elements already existed when he was younger, such as the Fish Cream machine. | |

Plot Hole | |
| The Legend of Kyrandia (Video Game) / int_6331ba26 | comment |
Plot Hole: The third game offers an unusual degree of non-linearity for adventure games and multiple different solutions to puzzles. While this is a noble effort, the narrative doesn't manage to hold all its threads together with this. The game will bring up characters and events with the assumption that you encountered them earlier, when it is in fact possible to completely miss them. Particularly glaring are the three coins that Malcolm had "earned in jail", when veteran players might prefer to either avoid the boring jail tasks or do a jailbreak without any work. | |

Lightning Can Do Anything: Malcolm gets freed from his statue by a thunderbolt in the opening of Malcolm's Revenge. Strongly alluded to by the after-the-credits clip of The Hand of Fate. In fact, the leap from lushious hand-painted 2D to very early and primitive pre-rendered 3D shows off the major art derailment. | |

Our Ghosts Are Different: Queen Katherine appears as a ghost on her grave if Brandon places a flower on it. Malcolm can do the same, but needs to place two flowers. A Bedsheet Ghost appears to Malcolm if he approaches the grave without those requirements. Zanthia encounters a ghost in The Hand of Fate — one that she can store in a bottle and then use to animate a scarecrow. Pirate Jean-Claude Barbecue's boat also shows many ghosts in it if Malcolm messes around with the furniture inside. | |

Give Me Your Inventory Item: In Malcolm's Revenge, you encounter a pirate who takes you prisoner and demands that you give him valuable items from your inventory. By this point in the game you have likely picked up a fair quantity of gemstones, and if you don't know the secret to getting past this part, you can end up giving them all to him without satisfying his demand. Instead, you have to give him the gold collar you acquired in the previous section, which he will promptly put on — only to be yanked away by another antagonist, leaving you free to go. | |

Guide Dang It! | |
| The Legend of Kyrandia (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
Guide Dang It!: The games don't give you clues for several tasks. Sometimes you receive just enough information to get started, but must figure out what to do with that information on your own. The third game has a minor time-saving mechanic on the Isle of Cats which is never hinted at: When you give a bone to the dog, he will go bury it in a random spot on the screen, potentially digging up one of several gems you need to progress. Whether he does dig up a gem is dependent on the spot he digs up, leaving the player to the mercy of the Random Number God. However, instead of giving the bone directly to the dog you can instead drop it on the ground, which will cause the dog to go over and bury it on that spot. | |

Covers Always Lie: The cover of Fables and Fiends shows Malcolm spying on Brandon, who reads a scroll while being accompanied by a small winged fairy. Not only are Malcolm and Brandon’s costumes slightly different, the fairy does NOT appear in the game (although a sprite for a similar looking fairy is buried within the resource files). The original cover for The Hand of Fate featured an un-gloved human hand in front of a montage of artistic explosions, which only vaguely relates to the game’s subject matter. The re-release cover, though a more accurate representation, still shows an all-green rainbow and depicts Zanthia in her first outfit, not the military ensemble she wears by that point in the story. | |

100% Completion | |
| The Legend of Kyrandia (Video Game) / int_77f6cc58 | comment |
100% Completion: The third game parodies the scorekeeping mechanic of other contemporary adventure games. The stated maximum score is 911, but the developers have admitted that they pulled the number out of thin air, and it is absolutely impossible to actually reach that score. Points are often awarded for completely irrelevant and nonsensical actions, such as tripping over a log. 851 seems to be the maximum number of points obtainable in a single playthrough, but even then, it's impossible to obtain every point in one game. For example, the six ways Malcolm can leave Kyrandia each have their own point values (and a few don't award any), and only one option can be chosen per game. | |

Point of No Return: In the first game, Kyrandia's main island gradually opens up to Brandon, and he can revisit any previous location after reaching a new one. However, once he flies to the smaller island containing the castle, he cannot return. This is far more prevalent in the sequels, which feature self-contained levels in a variety of locations that cannot be revisited upon completion. | |

Fetch Quest | |
| The Legend of Kyrandia (Video Game) / int_7e02bded | comment |
Fetch Quest: Seemingly parodied in Malcom's Revenge. If Malcolm wears a jerkin and squirrel as a disguise, Zanthia mistakes him as Farmer Brown and asks him to bring 12 large sprouts — a very awkward number given Malcolm's 10-item inventory (plus one held in-hand). Carry out this task and Zanthia will... ask for 12 more large sprouts. Infinitely.note The only benefit of doing this is Zanthia providing a clue about how to make biobombs with fertilised seeds. | |

Random Number God | |
| The Legend of Kyrandia (Video Game) / int_869ffa6b | comment |
The third game has a minor time-saving mechanic on the Isle of Cats which is never hinted at: When you give a bone to the dog, he will go bury it in a random spot on the screen, potentially digging up one of several gems you need to progress. Whether he does dig up a gem is dependent on the spot he digs up, leaving the player to the mercy of the Random Number God. However, instead of giving the bone directly to the dog you can instead drop it on the ground, which will cause the dog to go over and bury it on that spot. | |

Denser and Wackier: The sequels. Books II and III shift considerably in tone from Book I, featuring more outlandish locations and characters, broader comedy, plus many anachronisms and meta references. While The Hand of Fate only experiences this to a degree, Malcolm's Revenge takes the cake.note This was largely due to Rick Gush assuming more creative control for the sequels and filling them with his style of humour. | |

Good Angel, Bad Angel: In the third game, Malcolm's bad conscience is called Gunther, who frequently appears to comment on his actions. The introduction shows that Malcolm's good conscience, Stewart, ended up stuck under a rock, which may be why Malcolm became so nasty. Near the end of the game, Stewart shows up again and Malcolm can choose whether to keep just Gunther, just Stewart, or to choose both since Malcolm himself doesn't care about morality, just wanting to clear his name so that he can finally go home and take a nap. | |

Karma Houdini: Malcolm commits multiple crimes throughout the series, such as turning all the royal mystics to stone, trying to murder Brandon multiple times, and attempting to usurp Kyrandia's throne alongside a pirate army. In the final segment of Malcolm's Revenge, the only thing anyone cares about is the (false) allegation he murdered William and Katherine. Technically, nobody ended up dead because of him, but he still caused a huge amount of trouble. His only karmic comeuppance is being arrested and doing fairly easy community service before being ordered to leave Kyrandia without supervision. Then, after saving Kyrandia from the pirates (that he brought over in the first place), he is straight-up asked to become King! | |

Convection, Schmonvection: Averted in the first game, which has a task in which there is a massive lava flow going under a bridge. Seemingly played only for drama, when your character begins to cross the bridge he states that "this heat is pretty intense, but I know I can take it." Continuing anyway causes him to catch fire and burn up painfully. To get through you need to find a scroll of freezing to turn the lava into ice. Played straight in The Hand of Fate. Not only is Zanthia just fine walking around Volcania, she can even stand directly on the lava (though only for a second). Flying shoes can be created to avoid this entirely. | |

Retcon: The third game causes a lot of what was said in the first game to be proven untrue. Malcolm was not actually responsible for the deaths of William and Katherine, even though Katherine's ghost clearly states that he was. Also, Zanthia - despite having spoken badly of him previously - remarks that "I always knew you were okay." Whether some of this is an actual case of Retcon or simply From a Certain Point of View is never clarified. | |

May not quite count since not only is it a powerful magical artifact, it's the powerful magical artifact that's the source of all the magic in the kingdom, and according to the backstory in the manual it was a gift to humanity from the elemental beings the tree face from the prologue serves. | |

Happy Harlequin Hat | |

Happy Harlequin Hat: Malcolm wears one. In the third game, wearing a leather jerkin and/or a squirrel as a disguise will also remove the hat and cause fewer people to recognize him, despite no change in his loud yellow-and-purple sleeves and leggings. The jester hat seems to be the only thing most laypeople remember about him! | |

By the Lights of Their Eyes: In the Shadowland Labyrinth maze of the first game, should Brandon be unfortunate enough to walk into an unlit room, he will be killed by a horde of monsters, but all the player sees is a bunch of glowing eyes converging on the same spot in the dark. Lampshaded in the third game, where it is revealed that the glowing eyes are emblazoned on spiked signs carried by adorable gremlin-like creatures. At one point, you end up in the house of a "friendly" (not hostile, at any rate) Wizard and his dragon companion. They advise against you leaving their abode via the front door: "I wouldn't go out there if I was you, the Shadow Wraiths◊ are hungry tonight." | |

Curse | |
| The Legend of Kyrandia (Video Game) / int_c2e295cd | comment |
Curse: The true cause of William and Katherine's death is, apparently, a curse on an enchanted knife. The Reveal is that William was holding the knife and actually stabbed himself with it, while Malcolm tried to stop him. William seems to be the only one who knows this, however, since the first game makes it very clear that Katherine blames Malcolm for their deaths. | |

Horrible Judge of Character: In Malcolm's Revenge, Malcolm joins forces with a band of pirates in a bid to take over Kyrandia. The pirates betray Malcolm, leading to a scene where Kallak, with comical cluelessness, refers to Pirate Captain Barbeque as a "fine seaman" and pays him a sack of money for "capturing" Malcolm. The next time Malcolm stops by, it's not surprising that the pirates are running the place. | |

Shout-Out | |
| The Legend of Kyrandia (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: In Fables and Fiends: Darm's dragon companion is named Brandywine. Brandywine is the name of the river in the east of the Shire in The Lord of the Rings. In The Hand of Fate: Zanthia refers to the three giant faces that serve as the centerpiece for the Towers of Hanoi puzzle as her friends Larry, Curly and Moe. In Malcolm's Revenge: Using the teleporter occasionally results in Malcolm emerging with the head of a fly. When this happens, he immediately hops back inside and teleports to cure himself. One method to escape Kyrandia is to, as Brandywine puts it, "Click two eels together and say, 'I want to go to the Isle of Cats.'" That advice is just slightly similar to "clicking heels together and saying, 'There's no place like home.'" Malcolm mentions he once owned a book called Gardening for the Criminally Negligent, an actual book that was written by the game’s designer, Rick Gush. | |

The Maze | |
| The Legend of Kyrandia (Video Game) / int_e6ce4b | comment |
The Maze: The Shadowland Labyrinth in the first game. Fireberries must be collected to light Brandon's way through the caverns. The route taken must be very specific, as another fireberry bush must be found within four screens of the last, or else... The third game's jungle level, The Isle of Cats. | |

Villainous Harlequin: Malcolm. In the third game he's less evil and more of a Jerkass. | |

Ten-Second Flashlight | |
| The Legend of Kyrandia (Video Game) / int_eca56f2 | comment |
Ten-Second Flashlight: The memorable Shadowland Labyrinth maze from the first game involves clever use of multiple disposable Ten Second Flashlights. The Labyrinth consists mostly of a series of caverns with glowing Fireberry bushes growing at strategic locations throughout. Warmth (from Brandon's hand) causes the berries to decay and lose their glow (a Fireberry continues to give off light for exactly three screens when held); when they're on the cold floor, the decay stops and the glow remains constant. So Brandon must explore the labyrinth by dropping Fireberries on the floor to light up otherwise pitch-black rooms. Get caught in a room with no bush and no berries, and the results are predictably unpleasant. | |

The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything | |

The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: The Hand of Fate has a pub full of these. Apparently they've reformed and now just sit around drinking root beer and hosting Pirate Poetry Nights. | |

Dartboard of Hate | |
| The Legend of Kyrandia (Video Game) / int_f7a458c3 | comment |
Dartboard of Hate: In the pirate bar in the second game there's a dartboard, which if clicked on, Zanthia will remark looks like Brandon's picture is on it. Just what for, when Brandon never met any pirates, is a mystery. In the third game, there's a dartboard in Malcolm's room. Clicking on it will make Malcolm demand, "Where's Kallak's picture?", implying that he used to throw darts at a picture of Kallak. | |

Video Game Cruelty Potential | |
| The Legend of Kyrandia (Video Game) / int_f87c42d4 | comment |
Video Game Cruelty Potential: In Malcolm's Revenge, Malcolm can hypnotize a squirrel to wear it as a hat, put a squirrel through a machine to turn it into a leather ball, or make a squirrel paste sandwich out of it. Even though the squirrels aren't exactly friendly in that game (click on them too many times and they kill you). | |

Ball of Light Transformation | |
| The Legend of Kyrandia (Video Game) / int_f951364 | comment |
Ball of Light Transformation: The purple gem on Brandon's amulet allows Brandon to transform into a Will o'Wisp (a group of purple, floating lights). He can float over things that have no ground and can travel through cavern rooms indefinitely (the wisp form lights the room, so he cannot be hurt by the beings that lurk in the dark). | |

Running Gag | |
| The Legend of Kyrandia (Video Game) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Brandon continuously commenting on the lack of front doors for Kyrandian dwellings, to the point where he’s amazed when he finally encounters one. Zanthia’s need to keep changing outfits every time she arrives somewhere new, either due to damage or because of varying climates. Zanthia keeps finding a specific stick in multiple locations, even just before the endgame. After it first ends up in her inventory, she wonders if it's following her around. | |

Good Luck Charm | |
| The Legend of Kyrandia (Video Game) / int_fbec00a4 | comment |
Good Luck Charm: There's a horseshoe in The Hand of Fate that acts as a lucky charm (and magnet), and it's a component in one of the potions. Also subverted as there is also an unlucky horseshoe; the trick is in knowing the difference. | |

You Shouldn't Know This Already: In Book I, Brandon cannot retrieve the sunstone from the bubbling springs until Darm mentions he hid the summer birthstone nearby (although clicking on the springs before hearing this will offer a clue, as Brandon comments that the big rock on the bottom looks pretty). In Book III, Malcolm cannot click two eels together to teleport out of Kyrandia until Brandywine informs him this is possible and provides the necessary incantation. | |
