Meanwhile, Sola, not having heard from her parents for a while since leaving to study abroad, heads back to Liana to investigate their disappearance, crossing paths with Ich's researchers along the way.

** Dying enough times unlocks the Forbidden item menu, giving the player access to what basically amounts to cheat codes...[[NoFairCheating at the cost of losing the opportunity to gain Playing Levels on that file]].
** The player receives a small bit of Syega when they receive a Game Over.
** The player can use Syega to unlock Playing Levels that they have trouble clearing.



* EasierThanEasy: The new Very x2 Easy difficulty, which plugs certain bottomless pits and lets players destroy some otherwise-unkillable enemies. It also apparently lets the player keep their Enforcement Slot abilities after death.

* AwesomeButImpractical: Overhelm. It is a barrier that protects the player from a single hit. The issue is that it costs nearly the entire Capacity meter and only lasts for a few seconds. It can take an ''unlimited'' number of hits from the boss(es) that are weak against it, yet could still be considered too costly.

Like the first game, ''The Legend of Dark Witch 2'' is heavily based on the [[VideoGame/MegaManClassic Classic]] ''[[VideoGame/MegaManClassic Mega Man]]'' series. However, the ''VideoGame/{{Gradius}}''-like upgrade system from the first game returns. Revenge Magic unlocks a powerful attack after the player has taken a certain amount of damage, and Capacity is a new cost system that allows players to use weapons without giving up meter for their Slot upgrades. In addition, there are a variety of new power-ups to help the player blast through the game's quirky enemies.

!!''The Legend of Dark Witch Episode 2'' contains examples of:
* AnotherSideAnotherStory: Sola is PromotedToPlayable this time around.
* AwesomeButImpractical: Overhelm. It is a barrier that protects the player from a single hit. The issue is that it costs nearly the entire Capacity meter and only lasts for a few seconds. It can take an ''unlimited'' number of hits from the boss(es) that are weak against it, yet could still be considered too costly.
* BossSubtitles: They were [[{{Woolseyism}} exclusive to the English version of the first game]], but are included in all versions this time around.
* CharacterCustomization: The Enforcement Slot gauge can be customized this time around. One example given is that Wing (Zizou's second slot) can be replaced by the Dash that originally belonged to Riva.
* DemotedToExtra: Al and Papelne run shops in Episode 2.
* EasierThanEasy: The new Very x2 Easy difficulty, which plugs certain bottomless pits and lets players destroy some otherwise-unkillable enemies. It also apparently lets the player keep their Enforcement Slot abilities after death.
* IdiosyncraticDifficultyLevels: Very x2 Easy, Casual, Expert, and Lunatic, with Casual presumably replacing Easy and Expert presumably replacing Normal.
* LimitBreak: Revenge Magic, powerful attacks that require the user to receive damage. Both the player characters and the bosses can use them.
* ManaMeter: The new Capacity meter. All weapons pull from this rechargeable meter, instead of from the Enforcement Gauge as in the first game.
* RecurringBoss: Klinsy is a standard boss (and again gives Dia Missile), while Blad and Stoj join two new characters to form a second set of bosses after the initial 8.
* SequelDifficultyDrop: Even without the new mechanics, normal enemies take significantly less punishment in this game than in the first.
* SequelEscalation: ''Episode 2'' raises the stage count from a relatively small 8 stages to a ''Mega Man''-sized 13 stages, on top of adding many more enemy types, more voice acting, single-use items, Revenge Magic, and more minigames.
* ShoutOut: A "Revenge" meter, filled by taking damage, that can activate a LimitBreak when half-full that becomes stronger when it has been completely filled. [[VideoGame/StreetFighterIV Where have we heard this before?]]
