* AllMythsAreTrue: Well, you don't get to see all of them since the game limits the player and story to only parts of western Europe and the Middle East. However you encounter [[ColdBloodedWhatever Slavic vodyanoi]], [[OurWerebeastsAreDifferent wererats]], [[OurGoblinsAreDifferent Mongol goblins]], [[OurOgresAreHungrier ogres]], [[OurTrollsAreDifferent lava trolls]], [[OurGiantsAreBigger rock giants]] (aka [[OurTitansAreDifferent titans]]), various types of undead and [[BirdPeople Egyptian sand spirits]] among other creatures on your travels. The backstory lore and FlavorText of some items mention [[Main/{{Unicorn}} unicorns]] and SeaSerpents, the English druids are using [[Main/LeyLine LeyLines]] to win the war against Spain, Hernan Cortez drank from the FountainOfYouth but failed to conquer the Americas because the [[{{Mayincatec}} indigenous people]] used [[FeatheredSerpent feathered serpents]] to destroy his fleet, China and Japan are powerful empires far to the East where the spirits of the ancestors communicate with their descendants, the main antagonists of the game are [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Zoroastrian daevas]] and lastly one of the Crusades was against [[OurDragonsAreDifferent multiple species of dragons]] which are considered one of the most powerful magical creatures (that aren't noncorporeal spirits) on Earth. Granted it's easy to miss, but if you speak with a certain rock giant in Toulouse you can learn that [[TheTimeOfMyths 10,000 years ago]] [[BackgroundMagicField magic was a natural force]] that is responsible for the sinking of Main/{{Atlantis}} which alongside other disasters made [[Literature/TheEpicOfGilgamesh Utnapishtim]] casting a powerful spell which caused TheGreatFlood and banished all magic from the human world. But most importantly, the BigBad's goal is [[spoiler: to summon Ahriman, the Zoroastrian GodOfEvil]].
* BigBad: The Old Man of the Mountain, possessed by Asha Vahishta (who is a Zoroastrian FallenAngel).
* DoppelgangerAttack: Two of the bosses (the daevas/demons Aesma and Aka Manah) can summon copies of themselves. In both cases, the original AND the copies (which tend to be weaker) need to be killed in close succession, as the original can summon more copies to replace those the player has already killed, or one of the copies can become the original if the original dies.
* FamousAncestor: The PlayerCharacter, whichever one you choose, is a descendant of Richard the Lionheart, who in the game's AlternateHistory had magical powers from being tied to an elemental spirit that's now possessing you. Of course, by the game's setting of 1588 Richard has had many descendants and your character "shouldn't expect to be sitting on the throne of England any time soon."
* InThePastEveryoneWillBeFamous: Despite being a game set in an AlternateHistory version of 1588, it manages to have Creator/WilliamShakespeare, Creator/LeonardoDaVinci, Tomas Torquemada, Cervantes, Creator/NiccoloMachiavelli, UsefulNotes/HernanCortez, and Jacques de Molay all living within a few blocks of each other in Barcelona. UsefulNotes/{{Nostradamus}}, Queen UsefulNotes/ElizabethI, and UsefulNotes/JoanOfArc also turn up later in the game.
* LifeDrain: There is a special trait for one of the 4 playable races that does this, as well as a spell in the Tribal magic [[SkillTree tree]] (curiously placed in the Necromancy branch), a random sword from vendors, and magic potion which are conveniently all just referred to as "vampiric". The Revenant skeleton {{mooks}} can also do this.
** The daeva Tawrich can also do this, its boss fight will be '''very hard''' for new players unless they are prepared to counter it.

* ManaDrain: The crosses in the Inquisition dungeons will do this to the player, unless they find a McGuffin that breaks them upon approaching. There is also the Mana Reaver-type undead enemies.
* MassSuperEmpoweringEvent: The backstory has a cataclysmic magical explosion known as the Disjunction during the crusades. Many people were possessed by spirits this time which granted them magical powers, though such possessed people are shunned and distrusted by normals.
* MetaOrigin: This game has King Richard the Lionheart's aggressive hoarding of [[ReligionIsMagic holy relics]] during the Third Crusade result in an [[PhlebotinumOverload explosion of magical energy]], the "Disjunction", that caused human beings to begin manifesting magical powers, significantly altered the geography of western Europe, and turned ordinary animals into mythological beasts.

* TheSixStats: ''Lionheart'' uses the SPECIAL system of ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'' when creating playable characters. The stats are: Strength, Perception, Endurance, Charisma, Intelligence, Agility and Luck. [[FunWithAcronyms When you take the first letter from each of these seven stats, you spell out the word SPECIAL]].
Added DiffLines:
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: The daeva Nanghaithya is a sadistic Zoroastrian demon who drinks the blood of humans and constantly disguises itself by changing forms. Your first encounter with this demon (in the form of a peasant woman) is in a house at Barcelona's Temple District, but Nanghaithya taunts you and escapes. Way later, you meet it hidden in Montaillou where you can properly fight it (an optional sidequest in Toulouse also reveals it has been attacking the rock titans) however it's immortal and constantly shapeshifts instead of dying. Quite unique for this boss fight, you have to possess a relic of Zarathustra in your inventory (there's only 2 of these in the whole game) to bypass the demon's shapeshifting powers and make this daeva killable.
Added DiffLines:
* WeaponOfXSlaying: There are some unique weapons that have a bonus against certain types of creatures- e.g. an enchanted war hammer that deals 25 points of damage against all goblins even if it misses them, a blessed mace which has a 3% chance of [[OneHitKill instantly killing]] even the strongest undead, a magical bow that is good against dragons, and a cursed battle axe that deals 66 points of damage to all "regular" animals like wolves and bears (curiously the game also classifies the Vodyanoi, mutated wasps and [[spoiler: giant Persian desert scorpions]] as "regular" animals).
