History VideoGame / Lemegeton

%%* BonusBoss: Ipos in Episode 2.

* AbsurdlySpaciousSewer: Dawn's starting area. Ronove even keeps his treasury in there!
* ActionGirl: Dawn, of course.

* BackgroundBoss: Belial.
* BellyMouth: Ronove. Thankfully, he's one of the benign demons.
* BlowYouAway: Leraie and Eligos.
* BonusBoss: Ipos in Episode 2.

* CuteMonsterGirl: Amdusias. And of course, she's among the few benign Goetics in Craco.

* RedEyesTakeWarning: [[spoiler: A sign that Samigina's in the forefront of Dawn's psyche, along with a new hair look.]]
* ShockAndAwe: Shax.

* ThrowingYourShieldAlwaysWorks: Zepar.

The action starts with Sabio, a member of [[TheOrder Saint Guardian]], pursuing the renegade Pecador into the Italian ruins of Craco to recover him and the artifact he stole--Solomon's Ring. Almost as soon as he steps in, Sabio [[MalevolentArchitecture gets trapped by a rising barricade]]...then finds the ring itself, although with Pecador nowhere in sight. The situation quickly gets a ''lot'' more perilous for Sabio. This is because every so often, Craco plays host to [[Literature/ArsGoetia the 72 demons that Solomon once imprisoned and enslaved]] and the "Feast of Chaos" they hold to honor Bael and renew their oaths of fealty to him, and the greater part of them are hostile to ''all'' humans. Sabio included. After meeting the trapped theurgist Noiva, Sabio decides that, since he's recovered the stolen Ring, he should probably focus on finding an escape route for the two of them. Not that the demons are going to be cooperative...especially not when he comes back to recover [[MysteriousWoman Dawn]] and Pecador.

* MysteriousWoman: Dawn. When Sabio first meets her, Solomon's Ring is somehow reacting to her. After she helps you open the gate in the castle, the only way she could have left is a sheer upward shaft with no handholds of any sort. The second scenario reveals that [[spoiler: she's an amnesiac half-demon, and her horse form can scale such walls easily]].

* AnAxeToGrind: Haagenti. The blade's almost as big as he is!

* {{Meganekko}}: Noiva.

* RedEyesTakeWarning: [[spoiler: A sign that Samigina's in the forefront of Dawn's psyche, along with a [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair new hair look]].]]

* {{Metroidvania}}

* ALoadOfBull: Haagenti.

** Agares: Snappily dressed (an even-tempered old man). Pilots a crocodile-motif ship (crocodile steed). Has goshawks divebomb you (a falconer). Sends out sonic blasts that [[StandardStatusEffects confuse you]] if they hit (he makes runaways stand still, and makes the steadfast retreat). The ship has piledrivers ([[DishingOutDirt he causes earthquakes]]). Easily among the most faithful depictions.

* WaveMotionGun: After the first time Belial's stability meter is depleted, he'll start using these, with greater frequency (and duration) as the fight goes on.

This game provides examples of:

* ArsGoetia

* HauntedCastle: As Noiva notes when Sabio meets her, Craco is pretty well known among researchers of the occult for being a hotbed of supernatural activity. What she ''wasn't'' expecting was to find out that the [[ArsGoetia Monarchia Daemonum]] and their periodic Feasts of Chaos were the reason.

* MixAndMatchCritters: Given that we're dealing with the demons from the ArsGoetia, this is to be expected. Haagenti's the usual (gryphon-winged bull...well, gryphon-winged minotaur), likewise Glasya-Labolas (gryphon-winged hound), but Shax is an unprecedented case. The Goetia describes him as a stork. In-game? A stork...with the tail of a fish in lieu of the legs.

* OurMonstersAreWeird: Again, ArsGoetia. Expect this. Main example in the first installment is, naturally, Decarabia--a metallic starfish with an eye in his center, spitting blue flames from the points.

* ShownTheirWork: For the most part, the demons reflect their descriptions in the ArsGoetia (not to mention, where appropriate, the ''Pseudomonarchia Daemonum'' and ''Dictionnaire Infernal'') rather well:

* WaveMotionGun: After the first time Belial's stability meter is depleted, he'll start using these, with greater frequency (and duration) as the fight goes on.

** Naberius's wolf heads reflect the fact that the ''Pseudomonarchia Daemonum'' identified him as also being named [[ClassicalMythology Cerberus]]. He's even in a Kerberos mood when you meet him--he feels like playing gatekeeper to Agares's chamber, although he's a ''lot'' easier to bribe than the original hound.

* MeaningfulName: "Sabio" sounds like "saviour", and "Pecador" basically means "sinner". [[spoiler: Although given that Pecador himself implies that the actual evil is whatever lay behind the founding of Saint Guardian...]]

* FlunkyBoss: Although [[WarmUpBoss you'll probably dispatch him before he can make even one mook]], Furcas starts proving himself to be this once below half vitality, spawning Pitchforks from his mace-hand. Later on, Vepar will summon Anglerfish once she's below half vitality--and she's easily the WakeUpCallBoss, especially if you haven't been upgrading your equipment recently.

* PeninsulaOfPowerLeveling: After defeating Halphas, you can go into the underground caverns. Although you can't get very far in them until after you defeat Agares, you ''can'' fight the Planarians there. Although Planarians divide (they just die after the second division), you get full experience and gold for ''each'' Planarian, not just the second division bodies. Even with the basic machine gun, this is ''easy'' early experience and gold. Especially if you're beelining Gold Pan.

* MookMaker: Although [[WarmUpBoss you'll probably dispatch him before he can make even one mook]], Furcas starts doing this once below half vitality, spawning Pitchforks from his mace-hand. Later on, Vepar will summon Anglerfish once she's below half vitality--and she's easily the WakeUpCallBoss, especially if you haven't been upgrading your equipment recently.

* BlowYouAway: Leraie.

* DualWielding: Dawn ''always'' uses two weapons at a time. Whether chakrams, blades, or [[GunsAkimbo guns]].
