* BagOfHolding: By the end of the game Harry is carrying around a canteen, sling, raft, torch, shield, gasmask, large book, a pair of pickaxes, unlimited amounts of TNT, various idols and four round artifacts twice the size of his head...in a backpack that's that's smaller than his head.

* DarkestHour: Has the game spiraling down toward CerebusSyndrome territory towards the end of the game. To wit: [[spoiler:Harry and Nicole find her father's corpse in the temple where the last artifact is missing. Harry then gets himself captured (as planned) and the remaining artifacts taken from him along with his equipment. While reclaiming every item and artifact, he eavesdrops on the conversation with St. Claire and Pusca, then sees the latter kill the former for refusing to give him the artifacts, which Harry now has. After the artifacts are set in their slots and the gate to El Dorado opens, Nicole steals the artifacts and hands them over to Pusca in the hope that he would send her back six months in time to save her dad. She is unaware that [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness Pusca has no more use for her now]] and kills her before kidnapping Micay and taking her through the time portal. As Harry follows them, he gets cornered by the demon jaguar in a [[RingOfFire circle of flames]]; and [[HeroicSacrifice Micay sacrifices herself by Pusca's magic]], releasing her [[ButterflyOfTransformation magic butterfly]] that grants her magical aura to Harry, giving him magical powers through his hands. After the battle, we see him nearly get eaten (just like in the beginning of the game) before [[BigDamnHeroes Quickclaw shows up to save him]]; and Pusca tops it all off by placing the artifacts in their slots, allowing the power of El Dorado to grant him godlike powers, [[AGodAmI turning him into a nigh-omnipotent being]] whose only weakness is getting stone pillars flown at him. DarkestHour, indeed!]]
