Perma Death is a mechanic in LISA: THE PAINFUL. Perma death happens whenever an enemy (most of the time a Joy Mutant) uses a move that inflicts the "Dead" status effect. It also occurs when a party member is sacrificed in any way.
Causes[]
- Fatal Chomp
- Heart Squeeze
- Neck Break
- Decapitate
- Losing a round of Russian Roulette
- Sacrificing a party member to Buzzo
- Failing to pay ransom to the Blue Rockets and the Pretty Boys after a party member is kidnapped
- Choosing to fight the Blue Rockets and the Pretty Boys after they kidnap a party member
- The Gale Motorcycle Club kidnapping a party member
- Manifestation of Marty's "Consume" attack
Causes for Specific Party Members[]
- Sacrificing Terry to Columbo triggers an unavoidable battle with Terry in the Area 2/3 Transition, forcing the player to kill him
- Losing the fight against the Road Scholars will kill off Mad Dog permanently if he had not been recruited by that point
- Selling TNT to Matt and Pat in the Area 2 Crossroads will result in Yazan, Jack and Tiger Man being killed if they had not been recruited
- Triggering Olan's second Campfire Conversation will result in Olan transforming into a Joy Mutant in Aurora Town
Notes[]
- Brad Armstrong is immune to perma death, due to being the main character. He will be KOed, but can be revived using Perfume.
- In LISA: THE JOYFUL, death cannot occur due to the lack of party members. Typical perma death-causing moves will only do a lot of damage.
- There is a rare glitch that when a enemy uses a perma death skill, the targeted character won't die, but instead only get the "Dead" status effect. This can be removed by resting.
