I die a lot on the Sword of Constatine stage. For some reason, I end up doing really stupid things and getting killed. I remember one time on Expert, in the room with the big table and the door in the ceiling on the first floor (the one next to the kitchen and the storage room with all the extra equipment in it) I doused the torches and hopped up onto the table waiting and got my blackjack ready. The second guard was just entering the room, when I crept over to knock him out. I hop down without the second guard hearing me and I creep behind him and just as I'm passing the door near the corner it springs open and guard 1 comes strolling through, and he runs right into me. So I hop up onto the table and wait for things to settle. What I didn't expect was guard three coming from the alcohol room and hitting me twice while on the edge of the table. I panic, and in doing so I drop between Guard 1 and 2 who hack me into pieces.
The other spot I usually die is when I try to get the sword down from the platform. This one time I remember I had all the guards from the first floor after me. I went to the second floor and shot out my rope arrow to get the sword. In my haste, I didn't notice the archer who was now shooting me. This causes me to have to jump to the ground. At this point all the guards were just returning from their search and I had nowhere to run.
Another favorite was in the first cathedral stage. I got the burricks to come to the downtown area to battle the zombies while I watched from a rope arrow above all the action. Anyways, I accidentally hit the jump key and landed right in between the burricks and the zombies who killed me in the process of killing each other.

Whilst climbing up a rope arrow in the Lost City to obtain the fire talisman, the rope arrow suddenly hurled me through the air into the wall with the entrance to this area (not the entrance to the temple), I smashed into the wall then pummeted to the Earth *splat*... needless to say I was in stitches xD

(forgot the mission, i think the demo of life of the party)
there's was a point were i'dd have to cross over something, so i fired 2 rope arrows (u probably could make it with 1 but 2 to make it shure;) ), when i was hanging on the arrow near other side, i wanted to take the first arrow so looked directly at the arrow and clicked but i didn't noticed that my arrow was lighted..
again rather stupid then funny but that was a long time ago so its kinda funny for me

Lately? Without spoiling anything if I can help it, I was playing an FM in which there was a Hammer Haunt that I coudn't seem to avoid attracting the attention of when picking a locked door. So I lost a bunch of health there. Next up is a room with a chest in it, also locked. I have a personal quirk of closing any doors or other objects I open (Just seems more like passing through undetected - even though the game doesn't seem to care much).
So anyway, I am picking the lock on this chest, meanwhile looking dead at a small hole in the wall above it, wondering why it is there (don't ask me where my brain was that night). Guess what happens when I open the chest? Trap. I now have like 3 health left. Guess what I do then? Close the chest. Guess what goes off again?

I was playing on my laptop a while back before my brother decides to delete it.... anyway. I was going to get the Horn in "Down the Boneyard" Mission. What happened is that I saw a blue treaure chest after I hopped out a pool of water. I stood exactly right in front of it, not thinking there was going to be a trap.... well, as I opened the chest, an arrow was shot, shotting Garrett in the back. I felt SO horrible... I then laughed about it after a while.
Another one on the same mission... I managed to go down the ladder and stepped on yet another trap. I looked up and the last thing I saw was a boulder... I hear...
SMACK AAAGHHH
I felt really horrible for that as well....
And oh yeah for those of you who had that imfamous heartattack... that's got to suck. But it sound really funny.

The stupidest way i've died has to be, in the Maw of Chaos, i wanted to get a better look at The Tricksters ritual, and shot a rope arrow in the middle of the room.
After switching the eye, i went to the small platform above The Trickster and jumped on my rope. Then when the evil dude turned around, i noticed i was in no way hidden, and i had shot the rope next to a glowing mushroom
Alas, The Trickster blew me clear from my rope and into the nearby wall.

Can anyone top this next one?
I was replaying bonehoard, and i had been so frustrated with looking for the mystic's hear and Soul, that i dropped the search and went straight for the Horn. When i walked in the Burrick Cave, i drew my sword. I thought the Horn of Quintus would keep them calm and they wouldn't notice if i killed a few.
I was SADLY mistaken!
After killing the first one, they woke up from the trance and started belching away t me. I avoided the noxious gasses and found refuge in the quintus crypt. But little did i know, the Burricks were more determined than i percieved....
I walked into the maze of ladders, and grabbed the horn. I got down the ladders fine, but when i got to the last floor, i was surrounded by, oh maybe, Seven Belching burricks. I grabbed my fire arrows and frantically tried to kill them, but i only got one before i was killed.

My most embarrassing defeat, and I'm sure most of us have experienced something like this at some point and in one form or another, was the result of a series of grotesque errors of judgement. This was in The Metal Age, I don't remember the level, but I was hiding in the shadows and hugging the wall, and was still new to the game and just learning the ropes. A guard walked just a teensy bitsy too close, noticed me, and we engaged in a frantic melee. This was the first mistake, in retrospect I should've just fled, preferably to a scouted and pre-determined location (rope arrows at beams always work nicely for this), or at least tried to knock him out with the blackjack before my presence registered.
Single guards don't pose any trouble in melee, of course, so after a couple of rounds of moving in lockstep, parrying and thrusting, the injured guard panicked and ran away. I decided to shoot him in the back with the bow. This was the second mistake; I should've either ran him down or used the moment to escape and hide before he brings his friends.
Unfortunately, I couldn't draw the bow in time before he disappeared around the corner. I ran after him. This was the third mistake, the fatal mistake. As I rounded the corner I realised the guard had managed to alert a couple of friends and they were all coming after me.
Naturally I showed some good judgement at this point and started fleeing, but as I hadn't studied the map very closely I quickly got lost and, surprise surprise, ran right into the view of another two guards.
Surrounded on both sides and with nowhere to go, I was quickly cut down.

In TMA firing a fire arrow to Sunburst Device that was next to me.
In TDP speed jumping (with speed potion effect) to a wall.
In TDP demo, drowning in Bafford's well.
In TDP throwing a flash bomb behind guard and blinding myself, then guard killed me.
In TMA Shipping and Receiving testing slowfall potion, jumping from roof and effect didn't last long enough.
In TDP trying to blackjack Trickster.
In TMA Demo which has this weird bug, sometimes when you jump to rope it bounces you back with 4x speed. Then I got bounced towards a wall, lost half of my hitpoints and then dropped to the street and died.
Those are the most stupidest ways I remember now, I'll see if I remember more. :thumb:
