* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: The fact that Tchernobog and the Cabal went out of their way to murder Caleb's dog Cujo (something that Caleb reacts with genuine anger) can be considered added motivation for taking them down once again.

** Moreso than enemies, there are a lot more [[StuffBlowingUp explosions]] by far. There's at least one enormous, explosive setpiece in nearly every map. The final map of each episode takes this ''past'' eleven, usually after the [[PostDefeatExplosionChain killing the final boss]]

* AmbiguousTimePeriod: The game takes place some time after the original ''Blood'', although still features the antiquated look of the setting and mish-mash of time periods, despite having arcades ("[=E3M4=]: Bogey Beach") and space stations ("[=E2M3=]: Mothership").

Added DiffLines:

* AscendedFanon: Fans of the original game speculated that the [[AnachronismStew constantly inconsistent time period]] was the result of Tchernobog's influence, seeing as he has the power to bind and connect between different realities. In ''Death Wish'', the player explicitly travels through different dimensions, sometimes more than once within the same level.


Added DiffLines:

* NotQuiteDead: The entire premise of the mod: Tchernobog survived his fateful encounter with Caleb through the power of the [[SoulJar Arcane Heart]], the physical heart of his previous human vessel. After Caleb destroys it, and then [[KillTheGod kills him afterwords]], Tchernobog is left DeaderThanDead.


Added DiffLines:

*SoulJar: The Arcane Heart, the disembodied heart of Tchernobog's most recent human vessel, prevents him from being permanently killed while it survives. Caleb spends the entirety of Episode 2 tracking it down and destroying it.

Added DiffLines:

''Death Wish'' is a GameMod for ''{{VideoGame/Blood}}'' by Bloatoid, which adds 36 levels across three episodes, and functions as a FanSequel.

The plot concerns Caleb's victory over Tchernobog, which stripped him of his ability to bind dimensions and his divine form, sent into a void, but Tchernobog resurrects within his original human form. He soon makes plans to reacquire his divine form, which puts him back into Caleb's line of sight.

The mod can be downloaded on [[https://www.moddb.com/mods/death-wish-for-blood ModDB]]. It is compatible with the [=BloodGDX=] and [=NBlood=] source ports, as well as ''[[UpdatedRerelease Fresh Supply]]''.

* AllTheWorldsAreAStage: "[=E3M9=]: Nightmare", the first SecretLevel of Episode 3, is a dream world where many prior episodes are represented, with many of them even holding secrets in the same place.
* AmbiguousTimePeriod: The game takes place some time after the original ''Blood'', although still features the antiquated look of the setting and mish-mash of time periods, despite having arcades ("[=E3M4=]: Bogey Beach") and space stations ("[=E2M3=]: Mothership").
* AndTheAdventureContinues: [[spoiler:After killing Tchernobog again, Caleb decides to delay rebuilding his home to kill any cultists he might have missed.]]
* AntiFrustrationFeatures: There are tomes throughout the levels that generally expand on the lore, but can also hint at what the player should do next, or help them find a secret.
* CallForward: The intro for Episode 1 obliquely references Tchernobog's role as "The One That Binds", which Caleb has become by ''Blood II'' due to [[YouKillItYouBoughtIt killing Tchernobog]], and the penultimate level of Episode 1, "[=E1M7=]: Urban Decay", features [=CabalCo=], the corporation set up by the Cabal in ''II''.
* {{Interquel}}: Takes place after the original ''Blood'', but before ''II''.
* KickTheDog: The Cabal kill Caleb's pet Hell Hound, Cujo, at the start of "[=E1M1=]: Home Sweet Home".
* RemixedLevel: Every secret level is followed by a shorter version of the previous level, but generally in winter ("Morning Gory", the level following "[=E3M9=]: Nightmare", is a snowy version of "[=E3M4=]: Bogey Beach").
* ShoutOut: Much like its parent game, there are a lot of horror references:
** Two of the levels, "[=E3M1=]: Whisper Peak" and "[=E3M2=]: The Room", are recreations of ''Franchise/SilentHill'' locations (the titular town and [[VideoGame/SilentHill4 The Room]]).
** "[=E1M5=]: Jigsaw" is a very straightforward reference to the ''{{Franchise/Saw}}'' films, featuring a room that looks similar to ones from the film, and many death traps. It has a secret entrance to a level called "[=E1M11=]: [[Film/ShutterIsland Shudder Island]]".
