History YMMV / EnderLiliesQuietusOfTheKnights

** The [[BodyOfBodies huge piles of fused bodies and limbs]] frequently found in the Verboten Domain. Although they can't move (except for a few found deep in the Domain), their fast tentacle swipes cover an extremely wide area, deal massive damage, and can be used multiple times in succession. They also possess a tentacle spike attack that can catch players off guard if they weather the swing attack. On top of that, they have a lot of health, meaning that no matter how you approach them, they aren't going down easily. Dashing through them is not ideal either, as their hitbox is so massive that you'll take CollisionDamage if you try it.

* ThatOneBoss: Ulv, the Mad Knight. He's very aggressive, does high damage, has three phases and can take a long time to kill if you haven't upgraded your spirits yet, making him quite a battle of endurance. Some of his attacks (such as the cross slash or the pillar summoning) come out very quickly and also require very good timing and/or positioning to avoid, more so than the other bosses the player will have faced up until that point and even some of the ones after.

* CompleteMonster: [[spoiler:The [[ItsAllAboutMe last King of Land's End]] was a selfish man who considered everyone but himself disposable. [[ImmortalitySeeker Obsessed]] with gaining [[ImmortalityImmorality immortality]], the King ordered his mages to [[PlayingWithSyringes conduct mass human experimentation with the Blight]], turning many of them into horrific monstrosities in unending torment. When the White Priestess Fretia was becoming too corrupted by the Blight, the King also had little clone girls of her created to take her Blight and die in her place. Despite [[PosthumousCharacter being dead before the game begins]], the King was instrumental in causing the destruction of Land's End, and few will feel bad for him when his decrepit corpse is found at the feet of his son Julius, who is revealed to have killed him out of disgust upon discovering the truth.]]

** Lily herself, a little amnesiac girl who awakens to find a world completely consumed by ruin, with all but one being she meets instantly trying to kill her, only to get instantly saddled with an insane responsibility for something she had no part in. Despite her being unable to speak, the player can see her putting on a brave front despite being evidently anxious and afraid, and the pain throughout her entire journey is clearly visible, both from lamenting the stories of those before her and the physical strain of purifying the Blight.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The game's soundtrack is composed by Mili, who does a great job at conveying the tones of mysticism and despair that permeate the game. Some notable examples include the themes for the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctiZlAhQmkw White Parish]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMRK2A6bXrs Cliffside Hamlet]].

** The Verboten Domain is frequently considered the hardest and most annoying area to go through. It's staffed with tons of obnoxious enemies that have very high stats and hard to avoid attacks, and is full of toxic gas and water that drains your HP at an alarming rate. Even the gas mask you can obtain only lowers the damage they cause; without it, you're likely to die to the environment before even fighting the enemies.

* AntiClimaxBoss: The FinalBoss is very underwhelming compared to the other bosses that came before it. The boss has a massive amount of HP and can kill Lily in just a few hits, and also gains a second form if you're going for the GoldenEnding. Even so, the boss [[StationaryBoss can't move]], isn't that aggressive, has attacks that are blatantly telegraphed and slow to execute, and makes long-range attacks frighteningly effective because of the boss's short reach; on the other hand, ''short-ranged'' attacks are also effective due to the boss lacking many means of attacking Lily if she's right in front of it. If anything, the constant stream of minions the boss summons are often more dangerous than the boss itself, as they have a lot of health and powerful homing attacks, and you'll likely run out of ammo for most of your Spirit attacks due to the amount of health it has.

** Hoenir, Keeper of the Abyss, is frankly a pushover compared to the other bosses fought around the same time. Sure, he's fast and constantly tries to keep his distance, but the damage he does per hit is pitiful up until he TurnsRed (and even then it's on the low side), making taking hits far less punishing. While the Dark Axemen he summons hit hard, they're also less sturdy than the Axemen regularly encountered in the game, and can't use their teleportation ability to its full potential. Most of the difficulty of the fight boils down to beating through his wall of respawning minions and chasing him down, turning him into a GoddamnedBoss.
** The same can be said about Miriel who is entirely stationary, is very easy to hit, and has very generously telegraphed attacks. You wouldn't expect a boss like her to punctuate the very difficult penultimate dungeon.

** Flying enemies, as expected for a platformer. You first have to face crows that hover just outside your airborne melee range and pepper you with bullets, and this escalates to mushroom mages, flying gargoyles, and dragons. The more damaging ones that show up late-game border on DemonicSpiders.

* {{Moe}}: [[CuteMute Lily]] is small, adorable, somewhat helpless on her own, and often acts in an endearing way evocative of an innocent child. She also stays selfless, kind, and determined despite the [[AfterTheEnd dreary setting]] and incredible suffering she goes through over the game, making it hard not to feel protective of her.

* TheWoobie: The vast majority of the characters in the game could qualify this, what with most of them being innocents forcefully turned into suffering abominations, or {{Fallen Hero}}es and heroines who gave their lives to protect their people and still failed in the end. Memoirs and lore show that their final moments were all filled with despair or regret, with them only finding peace after you purify them.
