* LethalJokeWeapon: That [[GrievousHarmWithABody arm]] you have? Turns out it is able to knock out the first boss's first form in two swats. [[JokeWeapon Played straight throughout the rest of the game, though.]]

* LostForever: Unlike the previous game, the [[HealingSpring Healing Springs]] never replenish, and you have to make-do with [[HealingPotion healing potions]] instead if you want to fill your life bottles.

* BlondeGuysAreEvil: Lord Palethorn.

'''''[=MediEvil=] 2''''' is an ActionAdventure sequel to ''VideoGame/MediEvil'' for the PlayStation, released in 2000.

Over five hundred years has passed since the undead knight Sir Daniel Fortesque defeated Zarok the Sorcerer and rescued Gallowmere. In VictorianLondon, one Lord Palethorn unleashes the powers of darkness from Zarok's spellbook, raising the dead and demons once again. Sir Dan too is awakened, and teams up with occult expert Prof. Hamilton Kift to stop Lord Palethorn's plan for world domination.

* TenMinuteRetirement: Dan between [[spoiler:Kiya's death and going back to save her]].

* InvincibleMinorMinion: The constables patrolling the Whitechapel will subdue anyone out after curfew, for fear of them being [[UsefulNotes/JackTheRipper the local serial killer]]. You ''can'' attack them, but the most you can do is stun them for a while, so the best strategy is just to run away. If you're not exactly tactful about how you navigate the city, you can end up with a swarm of them following you. [[PoliceAreUseless They also pay absolutely no regard to all the zombies that happen to be sprouting from the ground.]]
** Oddly enough, when your disguise is complete, they won't bat an eyelash at you.

* TerribleTrio: Mander, Dogman and Palethorn.
* TimeTravel: Employed to save [[spoiler:Kiya from The Ripper]].

* WhackAMonster: The serpent creatures in The Sewers who keep the Molluck women captive have to be fought this way.

** Dan has one of these after the [[spoiler: death of Kiya at the hands of [UsefulNotes/JackTheRipper The Ripper]]]], and stops caring about the Zarok spellbook and Palethorn altogether, running off to the sewers.

* ShoutOut: Stopping The Ripper with a time machine is very reminiscent of ''TimeAfterTime''.

* JackTheRipper: There's a boss named "The Ripper" who runs around 1800's Whitechapel and kills prostitutes.

* NeverTheSelvesShallMeet: Averted, [[spoiler: Dan goes back to the past to save Kiya from [[JackTheRipper The Ripper]], and after killing him, [[ItMakesSenseInContext Dan meets himself as he comes in to save Kiya]]. They shake hands, resulting in them becoming one, giving Dan a snazzy suit of golden armor.]]

* MultipleEndings: Two of them depending whether you find every chalices or not.

* SuddenDownerEnding: In the best ending [[spoiler: Dan and Kiya take the time machine back to Dan's own time, only to arrive in front of transformed Palethorn, who lunges at the camera, implying that he ate them]]. This crosses with DiabolusExMachina and GainaxEnding. It might have been a SequelHook, but [[LeftHanging we'll never know]].
** Oddly, it's the one you get if you collected all the chalices.

* ImprobableHourglassFigure: Kiya. As the instruction manual notes, having all your internal organs removed does wonders for your figure.

* BookEnds: The intro shows Dan's battle against Zarock in his dragon form at the end of the first game. [[spoiler: The 100% ending shows Dan and Kiya going back to the same arena, this thime, they face Palethorn in a similar form.]]

* DiedInYourArmsTonight: [[spoiler: after she's beeing slaughtered by Jack the ripper, Kiya vanishes in Dan's arms with the same effect when you kills ennemies. She gets better.]]

* GrievousHarmWithABody: Even if he gets his weapons stolen or runs out of ammo, Dans always has one weapon. His left arm, usable as a club or a boomerang.

** Oddly enough, when your disguise is complete, they won't bat an eyeleash at you.

* MultipleEndings: Two of them depending whether you find every calices or not.

* {{Retcon}}: The intro shows Daniel killling Zarok while in his OneWingedAngel form, so far as to have his stuffed head and legs appear in the first level, The Museum. This is odd, because after being defeated in the first game, Zarok reverted back to his usual self, before getting [[SquashedFlat crushed by a huge stone]].
