* EarlyGameHell: Like a lot of survival horror, you start the game off with very limited supplies and relatively weak weapons, with most items dropping from defeated deadites, and you have to progress a decent way before you can access another save point besides the one in the tool shed. Once you learn how to convert mushrooms into fuel and health items, supplies will be a lot easier to manage.

* UnwinnableByMistake: At the start of the second disc, you're supposed to save the game at a save point immediately upon arriving in Damascus, then leave the area, fight some skeletons for the parts needed to open the town gate, and then proceed. If you do this, then reloading the game if you fail triggers the second disc's opening cut scene, and all's well. However, if you run to the area with the skeletons, then turn back around and ''then'' save the game and reload it, the enemies will vanish - along with the items you needed to collect from them. You're now stuck outside the city with no way to get through the locked gate, and with the game saved at that spot.

!!This game has the examples of:
* AnAxeToGrind: An axe on the wall is one of the three available weapons at the start. It is weaker than the chainsaw, but it has infinite use.
* BigBad: Evil Ash, who tries to bring all the deadites back for good.
* ChainsawGood: Ash's signature weapon is back. It is strong, but it needs gasoline to work. Later in the game, it can be upgraded to a circular saw one.
* CuttingTheKnot: Ash comes upon a locked door guarded by what seems to the worst puzzle in the game yet. The game changes perspective to the standard, pre-rendered "puzzle screen" and the instructions tell you to find seven rare earth elements and then balance them against each other by their specific weight to open the door. Then Ash suddenly jumps in, aims his trusty shotgun at the wall-mounted puzzle and simply shoots the door open instead.
* DeaderThanDisco: Invoked with Ash's GiveMyRegardsInTheNextWorld taunt about the TropeNamer.
-->"Say hi to disco for me."
* DemBones:
** Common skeletons appear as enemies in the forest maze and the church area.
** Armored variant is an early enemy in Damascus.
* DemonicPossession: Some of the enemies are flying possessed humans.
* DualWielding: Ash can hold two weapons at the same time.
* EvilKnockoff: Alongside with Ash's evil mirror image, the fourth boss is a skeleton dressed like Ash.
* FlyingFace: Skulls with wings are enemies in the scout area.
* FullBoarAction: Hellbillies pig pen feature deadite-possessed swine with tusks.
* GiantSpider: The old hillbilly lady in her bed reveals herself to be a giant deadite spider in disguise.
* HelpingHands: Ash's possessed hand is still scurrying about, and it releases the deadites by playing the record Professor Knowby's incantations.
* HumanSacrifice: Evil Ash kidnapped Jenny to sacrifice her to the Dark Ones.
* KnifeNut: The possessed boy scout leader attacks you with knife in hand.
* LongNeck: Once possessed Annie take enough damage, she extends her neck for long range attacks.
* TheMagazineRule: A specialized magazine for {{Hillbilly Moonshiner}}s can be found in the Hellbillies house, which provides tips to create fuel and healing items with mushrooms.

* PuzzleBoss: The heavily armored boss with [[DropTheHammer a hammer]] in Damascus cannot be damaged by conventional means, and must be defeated by dousing him with molten metal and cold water twice.
* RespawningEnemies: Defeated enemies eventually return, sometimes right in the spot where you killed the last one.
* TimeTravel: Ash has to go "round two with the primitives" when a time portal sends him into Damascus 730 AD.
* VertigoEffect: Emulated when the spider boss reveals itself.
* WhenTreesAttack: Second boss battle is against a possessed man-eating tree.
