Each time a switch is hit, the party must move quickly to dodge a fireball that gets launched from the other end of the room. Control Room Puzzle: Subverted in EotB1: in one of the later floors, there is a room labeled 'Combination Lock - Be Quick' with 5 switches and a group of items on the other side of a pit (by this point, the game has already established that pits can be moved or gotten rid of entirely).So it's only a problem if your characters are too low level to cast it (or can't rest and regain spells, but then you have a much bigger problem on your hands). However, getting rid of them just require one remove curse spell, which is accessible to both mages and clerics. Clingy MacGuffin: There's a few undroppable cursed items in EotB2 that will weld themselves to your hand.guess where the only enemies that use what it cures are. Bragging Rights Reward: In EotB3, an optional dungeon called The Mausoleum near the start of the game gives you a 'Rod of Restoration' as a reward.At least you can only get him there with the Wand of Slivias, but would you live in an apartment that just happens to have a death trap in one corner?

Boss Arena Idiocy: In the first game there is a very obvious trap in the same area where you encounter Xanathar: a wall niche full of treasure with an enormous blood stain in front of it.

Big Creepy-Crawlies: Giant spiders in EotB1 more spiders, mantis people and giant wasps in EotB2.

It doesn't give any further information, though.

Aura Vision: The detect magic spell determines which of the items you found are enchanted, by giving the caster the ability to see enchanted things with a blue glow.

This include enemies patrolling behind a door some doors allows projectiles to go through, but the target won't change its pattern or open the door even if pelted with arrows.

A lot of enemies follow a given pattern of movement and don't change it unless having a straight line to the party, or being themselves attacked.

Xanathar's can be exploited - as well as the doors' tendency to block all projectiles, including magical ones - to fight him in relative safety since he can't open the doors (which also allows you to rest in the middle of the battle).

The second game also has an NPC that runs off, but he won't do it if you reduce your party size after recruiting him.

Arbitrary Headcount Limit: You start the game with four characters, even when importing to the sequels.

Quite necessary, since at that time your cleric isn't high level enough to cast neutralize poison, only the weaker delay poison spell, which just gains you some time. Antidote Effect: In the first game, you can find potions of counterpoison in the Giant Spiders level.The one stand-out is the ring of wizardry, however, which doubles the amount of spells of a certain level a wizard can cast each day.

Amplifier Artifact: Most of the magic items giving pluses, as is standard for D&D, count as this.

Alien Blood: Xanathar bleeds green when he's finally killed.

It's inhabited by kobolds, giant leeches, zombies and skeletons, as well as flinds and kuo-toas.

Absurdly Spacious Sewer: The first game begins in Waterdeep's sewers.

Absurdly High Level Cap: The third game lets your characters reach a maximum of level 20, but you will reach the end of the game around level 13-15 at most, even after defeating every non-respawning enemy.

'80s Hair: The drow named Shindia Darkeyes has a frizzy head of hair.
