Fear & Hunger 2: Termina

Unused GraphicsI'm seein' visions, doc!

Fear & Hunger 1 Leftovers#

While it might sound obvious to say, Fear & Hunger 2: Termina is quite literally built off the foundation of Fear & Hunger 1, and as such there are countless leftover items, graphics, and skills, including those that were either partially or completely overwritten. Notable examples include but are not limited to:

• Levi directly overwrites a majority of Cahara's assets, to the point that he still uses the "MERCENARY_SELECT" switch to designate him as main character.
• The body parts of the Guard from Fear & Hunger 1 are still in the data as unused Enemies. The Woodsman's body parts come directly after, and it's highly likely that the Guard was directly used as a base for him.
• Many, many Switches, Variables, and Common Events are left over from Fear & Hunger 1.

Unused Items#

Because of the large amount of leftovers from Fear & Hunger 1, this section focuses on unused items that are new to Fear & Hunger 2, or Fear & Hunger 1 items that were updated in some way but are still unused.

Large Icon	Small Icon	Name	Description	Notes
		99 eyes mask	A mysterious skull mask from a faraway continent of Vinland. The mask is said to raise one's perception. Slash 89% Pierce 89% Blunt 89%	Intended to drop from Rancid the Sergal after his second encounter without destroying the mask in-battle. However, due to the head always being destroyed due to how the game handles clearing enemy body parts when killed, it is unobtainable.
		Rugged vest	A simple yet stylish vest. Offers very little protection, but it truly is stylish. Otherworldly 92%	Very similar to the used Silk vest armor, however, despite the description claiming it reduces Otherworldly damage taken to 92%, it actually reduces it to 95%.
		Soul stone_NOT_USE	The surface of the gemstone is smooth yet it seems to be naturally formed.	An empty Soul Stone. Using Soul Stones on dead enemies to gain a Lesser Soul from Fear & Hunger 1 was supplanted by the new system of trading in severed heads to the Tainted One in exchange for Soul Stone Shards.
		Purple vial	A vial full of purple colored liquid. Slowly working, but potent poison.	Purple vials were used in Fear & Hunger 1, but cannot be found in Termina. Likely due to being made redundant with the abundance of Poison hemlock.
		Worm juice	A vial full of mild poison that is said to kill parasites and worms inside the host body.	Used in Fear & Hunger 1 to cure Intestinal Parasites and Brain Flower, neither of which are present in Termina.
		Red vial	A vial full of red colored liquid. Highly corrosive. Can be used to melt certain objects.	Used in Fear & Hunger 1 to melt locks on doors without using a Small Key or Lockpicking, or to inflict Blindness on an enemy. Glass Shards fulfill the purpose of blinding enemies in Termina.
		Green vial	A vial full of green colored liquid. Just the smell makes your muscles contract and heightens your senses.	Used in Fear & Hunger 1 to apply the Evasion Buff status.
		Explosive vial	A vial full of explosive liquids. Can be used to clear cave-ins or other rocks and rubble.	Used in Fear & Hunger 1 to open passageways and deal damage to enemies. Replaced by Pipe Bombs for the purposes of damaging enemies.
		Pillarman's head	The severed head of a moonscorched villager. The skin seems burned in an unusual way.	In-game, attempting to saw off a Pillarman's head will simply break the Bone Saw.
		Head of the Tormented one	The severed head of a moonscorched villager. The skin seems burned in an unusual way.	Attempting to saw off the Tormented One's head will simply yield the message "Just as you saw the head off, it turns to dust..."
		Per'kele's head	The severed head of the Per'kele.	As soon as Per'kele is defeated, the game will either end or the player will fight Rher immediately after.
		Kaiser's head	The severed head of the Kaiser.	Kaiser melts away after he's defeated and thus leaves no corpse to interact with.
		Head of the Heartless one	The severed head of the Heartless one.	The Heartless One disappears after she's defeated and thus leaves no corpse to interact with.
		Meat grinder head	The severed head of the meat grinder.	Sawing off the Meat Grinder's head will yield a Half-cocooned head instead.
		Weapon schematics	Schematics for custom weaponry.	Replaced by Abella's Weaponcraft skill.
		Trap schematics	Schematics for custom traps.	Replaced by Abella's Trapcraft skill.
		Explosive schematics	Schematics for explosives	Replaced by Caligura's Explosives skill.
		Recipes of the 15th Century vol.1	Schematics for custom foods.	Different from the updated, used versions of the Recipes of the 15th Century books in both icon and description.
		Recipes of the 15th Century vol.2	Schematics for custom foods.	Different from the updated, used versions of the Recipes of the 15th Century books in both icon and description.

Unused Skills#

Because of the large amount of leftovers from Fear & Hunger 1, this section focuses on unused skills that are either new to Fear & Hunger 2, or Fear & Hunger 1 skills that were updated in some way but are still unused.

Unused Maps#

Fortress#

Fear & Hunger 1s first map,Fortress' is still leftover in the data. The graphics have been overwritten with a new tileset but comparing the two, the Event tiles are largely the same.

Fear & Hunger 2 (Unused)	Fear & Hunger

Church_level2_OLD#

An older version of the Church of Alll-mer basement with a different, smaller layout. Where the Winged Statue and Martyr Effigy would be instead warps the player to the Rher Dimension version of the area.

Church_level2_OLD (Unused)	Church_level2 (Used)

Temple_site#

Earlier version of the Temple Site where the Tower and the Museum are on the same map instead of separated by an area transition. The used versions are Temple_site_1 for the Museum exterior and Temple_site_2 for the Tower exterior. Likely also used for testing the Moonscorched Contestant battles since Cocoon, Monster, Giant, Mechanical Dance, and Valkyrie are placed in it completely stationary, along with Black Kalev who will give the player a plethora of items and Black Orb.

Lake_test#

Unfinished version of the Lake which seems to be for testing events like the boat-rowing animation and Daan leaving your party when trying to leave town on Day 1.

outskirts#

Seems to be for testing Necromancy, as well as Iki Turso's appearing animation, as he will rise from the ground when walked near.

MAP007#

Contains a debug tile, and a Janitor that will pursue the player, but not start a battle.

club_test#

An unfinished version of PRHVL BOP with a missing tile and misplaced objects (such as the string of lights).

test#

A duplicate of Mausoleum Alley with nothing in it.

testmap#

An very small and empty interior. This is likely an earlier version of the Two-story House.

fall_scene#

A leftover from Fear & Hunger 1, of the screen where you jump off the cliff in Ma'habre to your death. Graphics are overwritten with a new tileset resulting in a very jumbled appearance.

Unused Party Members#

• August, Caligura, Henryk, Pav, Tanaka and Samarie all have entries in the game's "Actors" as possible party members, however they are currently not playable or recruitable in any form, and have no additional data. In addition, they also have "SELECT" Switches, which are used by the game to designate them as the main character. E.g. "SALARYMAN_SELECT" for Tanaka, "LIEUTENANT_SELECT" for Pav, "MOBSTER_SELECT" for Caligura, etc. Miro has stated that he'd like to have all 14 Contestants playable eventually, if possible. ¹²
• Leftovers from Fear & Hunger 1 include the Kid Demon, Marriage, Skeletons, and the First verse, Second verse, and Third verse "party members" for Fear & Hunger 1's Empty Scroll functionality (which also is leftover in this game as an unused item).
• For whatever reason, a party member called White key exists. The White Key is an item obtained exclusively from O'saa's "full text adventure" character intro and is used to obtain the Joy Mask in the Golden Gates.
• Several unremarkable test party members simply called character, hero, and test also exist.

Unused Party Talks#

To do: There are likely more.

D'ábel's Island#

The boat to D'ábel's Island where you encounter Valkyrie (Karin's Moonscorched form) only appears on Day 3 Night, when all other contestants still alive will Moonscorch. As such, it is impossible to access D'ábel's Island with any of them in your party, but Party Talk dialogue for the location nonetheless exists.

Oddities#

• Attempting to run from Mastermind (O'saa's Moonscorched form) will display a dialogue box from Henryk saying "You're not going anywhere!" This seems to be because Henryk was copy-pasted and used as a base for Mastermind.

Internal Names#

• The image files for Chaugur (Abella's Moonscorched form) call it big_boy, as well as the image of all its body parts assembled calling it bop.
• Dysmorphia's (Samarie's Moonscorched form) image files are rather more explicitly titled body_dysmorphia.
• The sprites for Monster (Caligura's Moonscorched form) instead call it roots.
• Father Hugo's file names are all over the place; an assembled sprite of him clothed calls him father_trustworthy, his actual in-game battle sprites are titled marriage (that, along with an unused alternate sprite, possibly insinuating something about his current state lore-wise), and an identical copy of his assembled, clothed battle sprite is simply titled junior.
• The Decrepit Priest's (of which there are multiple in the game) image files call him oscar.
• The image files of the Beekeeper enemy are rather amusingly titled mister_dough.
• The sprites for the Fecal Hound enemy instead call it boiled_hound.
• The Platoon's sprites and RPG Maker Troops call it spank_tank, which was the name of the original design concept created by Fear & Hunger Discord user vladstori.
• The Death Mask's sprites simply call it chains.
• The sprites for the Fallen Cherub enemy, rather on the nose, call it toddler.
• An early sprite for the Living Flesh simply call it cancer.
• The sprites for the Sew Job enemy call it umbrella, befitting its appearance.
• The sprites for Logic, the final boss of Ending A, refer to her by her former name, Reila.
• The icon for the weapon Sabbath simply calls it crucifix.
• The filenames for the Poe's overworld sprites call it shyguy.
• The map name for D'ábel's Island is devils_island.
