If this is sarcasm, nevermind, but if it's not, it should be "You should definitely not".

Redundant "are" in difficulty descriptions. Both Hard and Dominating are worded this way.

Edit: Reading it again, I think it's supposed to say "Items that are sold by the player are valued at 50%."

incursions are as
is*, as it describes the singular "purpose". Also, missing comma after said "is".

We don't know what the purpose of these incursions is, as they are clearly not trying to flood their troops into the city.

I think anytime someone says "Institute of Tchort" they should be saying "The Institute of Tchort".
Not necessarily, both forms can be correct as long as they are being used consistently. There are many exceptions where you do not need to use "the", an obvious example being countries (and even then there's expections to the exceptions, like the US). The are many actual real life institutes and universities whose names are not preceded by "the". Articles are a big can of worms.

I figured it might be a different countries kind of thing, but I wasn't sure.  Nobody says it that way where I live.

During the Kill the Beast victory speech, I saw a few from the mayor and chief banner but couldn't get screenshots.

"one big applause" should be "one big round of applause"
"stared at the eyes" should be "stared in the eyes"
and "assisting the foundry guard slay" may be grammatically correct, I'm not sure, but it sounds wrong; I'd go with "helping the foundry guard slay"
