Adventure Quest Worlds/YMMV


 * Ass Pull:
 * During the Arcangrove Saga, you run around collecting the four pieces of the Supreme Arcane Staff to use to defeat Ledgermayne with (the last piece, the Chaos Focus Gem, gets broken into shards by Ledgy but the shards are accepted into the staff), but during the battle you don't need to use it until you feel the need to during the final cutscene, where Drakath appears to focus his Chaos powers through the staff, replacing the shattered gem and allowing it to blast Ledgermayne. And as a bonus, the Supreme Arcane Staff is even one of the item drops from Ledgermayne itself, which has a 1% chance of dropping the staff.
 * Complete Monster:
 * Ledgermayne, the seventh Lord of Chaos, intends to cut the Para-Elemental Plane of Magic off from the rest of Lore. Since magic is the life-force of Lore, this means that all life in Lore will die if Ledgermayne succeeds. And worst of all, Ledgermayne knows this, and does not care.
 * Vath, the third Lord of Chaos, also qualifies. He enslaved not only the Dwarves, but also his dragon, not caring how much pain and suffering he's causing the Dwarves in the slightest, and not even caring if they starve to death as long as they produce enough Chaos Gemeralds to keep him happy.
 * The worst is Stalkwalker, who uses children as her pawns in order to feed on their parents as well as eating the children when they grow up and repeating the whole thing.
 * How about who helped CREATED Vordred?
 * This game is the kind of game where the cutscenes play in a "choose your own adventure" style where you can make good and evil choices.

"Drakath: What did you just say to me, Ledgermayne?
 * Believe it or not,.
 * Continuity Lock Out: Because this game is the most recent title set in an Alternate Universe of the other AE games, the numerous Continuity Nods coupled with the aforementioned difficulty in playing the saga from the beginning can make it difficult to figure out what's going on each week as well as who some of the people you keep encountering are supposed to be.
 * Draco in Leather Pants: Multiple villains are this trope.
 * Drakath
 * As well as Zorbak
 * Gravelyn also counts since she has lots of fans.
 * Sepulchure naturally has fans as well.
 * Ensemble Darkhorse:
 * Chuckles the skeleton, who appears to be headed for Ascended Extra status.
 * Artix even mentions it in the Design Notes: it was actually a joke that went way out of control. It even brought about its own cheesy commercial, T-shirt and a quest in game to save said skeleton.
 * There is also a fish based on Chuckles called The Chuckles Fish
 * Evil Is Sexy:
 * Who here thinks Gravelyn and Safiria are hot?
 * Hell, all the female characters are hot.
 * Drakath is also good looking.
 * Funny Moments: Has its own page.
 * Fridge Brilliance: Why did Sepulchure put up with Chuckles' laughter?
 * Hurricane of Puns:
 * The hurricane of puns are a bit hard to handle when the serious cutscenes play.
 * The Pungeon Master NPCs can also be that way too...
 * Love to Hate:
 * Escherion.
 * Even though he's a Smug Snake and a Complete Monster, Vath also counts. You can't help but admire how handsome he looks.
 * Ledgermayne is also eligible for this, despite being a Complete Monster and crossing the Moral Event Horizon by shattering the Chaos Focus Gem.
 * Magnificent Bastard:
 * Possibly Drakath, in a complete departure from his whiny, stubborn, and incompetent Dragon Fable self.
 * Well, he is a Magnificent Bastard in the original Adventure Quest.
 * During the Arcangrove saga, to his surprise, he found himself outsmarted once by Ledgermayne! Reason? Ledgermayne was self-aware living magic that could control even his magic.

Ledgermayne: The plan will fail. This form will take matters into its own hands. This form no longer has any use for the master.

Drakath: I never should have allowed you to have free will. (starts charging up an attack only for Ledgermayne to cancel it out and then looks at his hand) WHAT?!

Ledgermayne: You will not be allowed to harm this form. This form was a mass of mana in the para-elemental plane of magic when your chaotic influence accidentally caused this form to be self-aware. This form is grateful for that gift, but this form is not one of the master's Chaos Lord puppets whom you have gifted with Chaos magic. This form is LIVING MAGIC. Even your powerful Chaos magic... is still just magic, which this form can control. This form has no desire to destroy you. Stay out of our way. (teleports out of the Realm of Chaos)"


 * The shadowed Ultimate Evil of the Skyguard storyline, whom you will refer to as "Master" unless you want to relive your nightmares courtesy of the Dreamweaver, started to show signs of this at the beginning of the Skyguard storyline..
 * And later in the saga,.
 * How about Kitsune, the fourth lord of Chaos? He used his Chaos powers to place Emperor Daisho under a spell and stole the Hanzamune Dragon Koi Blade after waiting for the hero to defeat Ryoku. He had Neko Matta have the hero run around killing Skello Kitties and Nopperabo as a trick to buy Kitsune just enough time to use the sword to summon the O-dokuro from its prison. And what makes Kitsune even more magnificent is his affinity for illusion, trickery and lies, and the fact that, unlike the Shredder, whom he's an Expy of, he is rarely cruel. Of course, he didn't count on the hero retrieving the sword from the O-dokuro's head and using it to close the rift pouring a waterfall of Yokai out of it, which led him to see him/her as more of a problem than he first thought.
 * And even better..
 * Again, believe it or not,.
 * Mis Blamed: Cysero (the real-life person, not the NPC), as the head developer, gets an enormous amount of flak from the community for every thing they disagree with, even though he's not in charge of every single detail of the game.
 * Moment of Awesome: Has its own page.
 * Moral Event Horizon:
 * Ledgermayne also crosses the line. Just when the hero is about to accept the Chaos Focus Gem into the Supreme Arcane Staff, Ledgermayne interrupts and voices the part where it had already informed him/her that he/she would not be allowed to complete the staff, and crushes the gem into shards in order to lay bare its intent to make sure of that. Because of this, the shards have been rendered too weak to use against it until Drakath comes to help him/her by focusing his Chaos energy through the staff, replacing the shards and allowing it to convert Ledgermayne back into the harmless mass of magic from which it was made.
 * The Master crossed the line when he brought about Terra's Disney Villain Death by pushing her off a cliff and into the ocean. This action is what led to Captain Stratos' worst day..
 * Nightmare Fuel:
 * The Fear Chaser event generally has this as its theme, especially for the Terrorkind monsters. If you thought the big baby doll head and several zombie baby doll heads in the area where you fight the Fear Feeder were creepy enough, just wait until you fight the big boss of the event: ! EEK!
 * is more of a Nightmare Retardant. The thing that would be most fearful is the intro cutscene in The DoomWood Saga where chaos tentacles are going out of control on King Alteon's chaorupted body and slowly chaorupting him in a more terrifying looking way.
 * The from the 2011 Mogloween event couldn't have been more aptly named. That thing is creepy. Especially its voice, which
 * We know it's supposed to be rather dramatic, but come on! We all know.
 * As if wasn't enough, . Oh, snap.
 * Shocking Swerve: Admit it,
 * Tear Jerker:
 * The Master's Moral Event Horizon moment of causing Terra's Disney Villain Death played out before Stratos, which actually causes him to cry.
 * Later, . This also counts as a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming.
 * The "Chaos Scars" cutscene also counts, seeing as how the Chaotic Troll boss was actually Khasaanda and Krellenos' brother, Antiphuus, Chaorrupted by the ninth Lord of Chaos. The hero knew that he was Chaorrupted by Chaos anyway so he/she had no choice but to kill him, and the fact that Khasaanda cried over Antiphuus' death is very sad indeed.
 * The scene with Lady Vayle and her brother's Spirit Orb during Vayle's ending in the Doomwood saga.
 * Veddrian's farewell to her sister Veddris in the final scene of the Bludrut mid-week release.
 * That One Attack:
 * Ledgermayne's charged-up attack hits any players that aren't in the safe zones for massive damage that can One-Hit Kill players with anywhere below 1,600 Hit Points.
 * Tibicenas has his Claw Swipe AOE, which can take you down to 1 HP in one blow and which he starts using once he's down to half his health. If you're a player who likes to solo, you will HATE this move.
 * Khasaanda's ability to shut down your most-used skills has caused headaches to many a party trying to face her.
 * The mega-attacks possessed by all four of the prime dragons of the Dragonplane as well as Desoloth himself.
 * The Desterrat Moya from Knave1's storyline has the ability to put a stun on you, which does not allow you to use any of your skills until it wears off.
 * That One Boss:
 * Since the PTR update, just about all the main bosses have received a major damage upgrade and can easily wipe out a party that does not know what the hell they are doing. But the Red Dragon of Vasalkar's Lair and Wolfwing, the fifth Chaos Lord, are in a class all their own in terms of difficulty.
 * Also, if you thought Wolfwing and the Red Dragon were tough enough, just wait until you fight Vath, the third Chaos Lord, and Ledgermayne, the seventh Chaos Lord. Vath qualifies as That One Boss because he has Stalagbite, who will stomp you to death for 3000 damage or more if you attack Vath first, and so does Ledgermayne because every once in a while it will stop to charge up a powerful attack and the game will urge you to enter the glowing safe zones, and if you're not quick enough to get there in time, the resulting blast of the charged attack will deal massive damage and may even ONE HIT KILL YOU.
 * Tibicenas, the eighth Chaos Lord, can be pretty tough as well. Not only does he use an attack that heals himself and hits as many players as he wants for massive damage every once in a while, but, just like Wolfwing, he also goes berserk once his HP drops low enough, meaning he'll attack TWICE AS FAST! Think that's tough enough? Try your luck against Ultra-Tibicenas. He's basically himself, the Frost King, and the French Horned Toadragon combined. Not only does he have almost as high HP as the Frost King, he can petrify you for a few seconds every once in a while, steals life more often, and goes berserk when, instead of just below 5500 HP, it drops below 20000! YIKES!
 * Ugly Cute:
 * Villain Decay: Sek Duat.
 * Wangst: Some people see Wolfwing's motivation for becoming a Chaos Lord (turning people into Werepyres so he wouldn't be alone all the time) to be so much wangst. For others, however, see below.
 * Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds:
 * Wolfwing. Wanted to use the Chaos powers Drakath gave him to turn everyone into Werepyres in return for being considered an outcast by Vampires and Lycans alike, so he could not be so alone. Yeah, you can't help but feel sorry for him.
 * Khasaanda also counts. She was laughed at and made fun of by the other trolls for her unbelievable power.
 * When King tried to make Amira 2.0 into his wife, she malfunctioned and started destroying everything in sight because she felt threatened. And poor Kierk couldn't forgive himself for this disaster. Poor old man.
