** If Indy is carrying a weapon, and gets knocked down, he might drop it, allowing his enemies to pick it up and use it against him. This, however, does not apply to unique items such as Indy's revolver, his whip, the canteen, or puzzle items, as there would be no way of recovering these if they fell into a bottomless pit.

However, some enemies (such as Nazi flamethrower mooks) cannot be disarmed, and Indy will never drop his starting items (revolver, whip, canteen) and unique plot-critical items.

* CheckPointStarvation: The main source of difficulty in the game comes from this trope. You can only save after finishing a level. Any death will send you right back to the beginning. There are no medkits, and all Indy has at his disposal is a lousy canteen with fresh water that can be sporadically refilled. This particularly stands against the previous game in the franchise, ''VideoGame/IndianaJonesAndTheInfernalMachine'', where saves were unlimited.

* NintendoHard: The game can be rather challenging, owing to tricky controls and CheckPointStarvation. You can only save your game at the end of the fairly lengthy levels, and if you die the level restarts at the very beginning.

* DragonLady: Mei Ying, and far more prominently, the Feng twins. In case of Mei Ying, that's part of her job as an infiltrator and spy to do the whole FemmeFatale stuff. The twins meanwhile are a really colourful TheHeavy, checking just about every possible box there is in terms of a walking cliche.

* HidingBehindTheLanguageBarrier: Mei Ying starts to badmouth Indy in Chinese when she and Marshal Kai visit Indy's office. Indy cuts through it, and while ''his'' Chinese is terrible, it's more than enough to make them both stop, as he clearly ''understands'' what's being said behind his back.

* ZeerustCanon: UsefulNotes/QinShiHuangdi's tomb was found in 1974 as a very real thing - that's from where the famous Terracota Army is from. However, in-universe, it's 1935, and it's still stuff from legends.
