Renamed one trope.


* OrdinaryDrowningSkills: You can swim on water tiles that often contain unique enemies, but that costs stamina and eventually health until the hero finds solid ground or drowns. Swimming also reduces evasion during fights. Both of those penalties [[SuperNotDrowningSkills can be removed by the Aqua Potion]].

''Equin 2: The Warren Peace'' is a 2021 PC roguelike RPG by DXF Games. It is a sequel to ''VideoGame/EquinTheLantern'' and the fourth game in the series after the little known ''Equin Adventures'' and the cancelled ''Equin Village''. The story involves a Xtoli adventurer on a journey to be rid of the titular Warren Peace, a massive book written by a evil wizard that induces slumber and death upon all those who read it.

The playable classes are the Warrior, the Thief, the Wizard and the Cleric -- with the Cultist having been replaced by the Monk. As before, the player must explore dungeons and face monsters in turn-based battles, but there are a handful of new or rebalanced mechanics to get used to.
----
!!Tropes featured in this game include:
* AntiFrustrationFeatures:
** The game includes instructions via the H key and is very transparent about how each stat works. The player character's attributes are always visible during battles.
** There's no complex set of mechanics replacing the Lantern from the previous game.
** Your initial items will be automatically equipped, unlike how the previous game always started with a reminder about setting them up manually.
** You can pick up flowers on the ground to recover stamina later instead of immediately eating them.
** Oddly, walking speed is now set between Normal and Fast on the main menu instead of being a convenient in-game function with multiple levels.
** The compass is always visible on the interface if you own one.
* AntiMagic: Anti magic field events prevent use of magic from both the player and enemies. Look out for the switch that disables the field to earn bonus experiece points.
* BareFistedMonk: The Monk is a GlassCannon class who gets a power boost while barehanded. Also, being unarmed enables the One-Inch Punch, a 50% more powerful attack with a slight chance to instakill even bosses.
* BettingMiniGame: There are Dungeon Casinos with a dice minigame.
* BigYes: In the EndGameResultsScreen after clearing the game, the narrator has this reaction to the player character having eventually died of old age.
* BlackoutBasement: A floor type is set on the dark, reducing the visible area to the tiles around you and making it more likely for enemies to have the combat initiative and dodge your attacks. You can light the screen back up with a torch or a campfire if it's not raining at the same time.
* ChestMonster:
** Crates can randomly hurt the player character from getting poked with splinters and several interactible objects like rocks, vases and windows on the walls may hide tough enemies.
* {{Combos}}: The streak meter increases with each hit on enemies and grants a 50% xp boost when it is full. The meter is reset upon missing an attack or resting at bonfires.
* DifficultyLevels: Difficulty can be set to make areas a floor longer or shorter, though the Wizard's Tower cannot be made shorter. A short playthrough will have strong enemies and bad item drop rates, while a longer one has the opposite traits.
* EarlyGameHell: Upon choosing a starting bonus, the player is now required to also choose a penalty that ranges from starting with 3 less HP, with no items or with 25$ in child support debt. As the Monk cannot have initial items at all, players can instead choose to start at critical health and stamina conditions.
* EscapeBattleTechnique: Chicken Stones can be used to attempt to retreat from battles but require zero stamina.
* HaveANiceDeath: The game over screen shows a random gag, your equipment, cause of death and play time. This information is ''not'' stored in text files outside of the game like in the previous installment.
* InformedEquipment: Averted as equipment does show up on the player character's sprite this time.
* JokeItem: The Robe simply raises defense by 1, but the narrator specifically considers it the worst armor in the game.
* MacGuffin: The protagonist's goal is taking the Warren Peace book to the Wizard's Tower and destroying it. It can be equipped for battles, but what it does is make him sleep for a random number of turns while recovering just 3 STM.
* NoticeThis: There are certain powerful enemies that can spawn even in the first set of levels. They'll be marked with a skull to warn players.
* OrdinaryDrowningSkills: You can swim on water tiles that often contain unique enemies, but that costs stamina and eventually health until the hero finds solid ground or drowns.
* PrisonRape: Alluded to by the Soap item, which is found in the Subterranean Prison and raises evasion by 2% while carried.
-->''Somebody dropped it... Keep in your pack to gain its power!''
* TimedMission: Time-bomb levels require you to find the exit under a certain amount of steps, or else it's an instant game over.
* WizardNeedsFoodBadly: The player will take constant damage when the hunger meter is fully depleted until they eat something or die.
