* ShownTheirWork: Some of the references in this game are pretty obscure as far as Norse mythology goes. As an example, you may notice that in the shrine to Loki in Brokkr's Forge, the statue's mouth is sewn shut. This is a reference to a legend where Loki bets his head to the dwarves, and subsequently loses the bet. He tries to weasel out by saying that [[ExactWords they may take his head but they can't touch his neck at all]], putting [[OffWithHisHead decapitation]] out of the question. However, the dwarves turn out to be pretty fantastic tricksters themselves: since Loki's head now belongs to them, they can do whatever they want with it, so they opt to sew his mouth shut so that no one would ever be fooled by him again.

* AttackItsWeakPoint: Downplayed with Jera. After taking enough damage she will be stunned and her flower will be exposed; hitting it will do more damage than not, but this weakness doesn't need to be exploited to win the fight.

* BossGame: The levels put a greater emphasis on navigation and exploration, with at most a few simple combat encounters in each one. The fights against each realm's Jotun are more intensive and [[EasyLevelsHardBosses challenging]]. Justified, since proving her strength by defeating the Jotun is the goal of the narrative.
