Trivia

  • If Ereshkigal is modified into the game and used against the dragon, parts of the spell animation will be visually glitched, as will the body of the dragon and the flame background. This may be the result of layer conflicts with the more complex combat background used by the dragon.
  • Ereshkigal is unusual in that it completely lacks a weapon level. This means that if either the game is modified to give the player's army a copy or it is obtained using the enemy control-glitch using a mine, any and every unit in the game is able to use it without further modification and will gain dark weapon experience from it, which will give them an E rank in dark magic.
