Blacmore: Now that you've made it to Hell Gate, the real fun begins! Hell Gate is a shrine dedicated to the Dark God Asmodeus, and all of his disciples go there to seek enlightenment. For your purposes, it is a dungeon with 100 floors, each of which you must go through if you want to reach the Last Level. On most levels you will fight a battle, but there are some floors on which you'll run into the ghost of King Roderick. With the exception of his first appearance on floor B6, he appears at random to teach your team members special techniques. These are the skills that you can learn from Roderick:
| Name | Effect | Weapon Required |

| Rage | Damages target severely, for an amount equal to the user's STR. | No Direct Attack Weapon |

Blacmore: Now, let's get on to the actual guide of the trip through Hell Gate...
| Hell Gate B1 Falfadet: I never thought I'd meet you here. Did you come here to find the Dragon Magic? Not good, not good. Now that I don't have the help of the Dark Knights, I'm not going to risk my life by giving you the Dragon Magic. If I kill you, then there will be no reason to hide in this filthy dungeon. This Hell Gate will be your grave, little boy.

| Hell Gate B2 Denim: This is creepy... (elsewhere in the room, a Warlock is fleeing from some monsters) Young Man's Voice: Damn! I can't kill them unless I use Holy Magic!! Radlum: I am doomed!! Denim: Let's go! We are going to rescue him!!
Radlum: That's too bad... Be careful though, the further you go, the more dangerous it becomes. Denim: It's alright. Welcome to our troops, Radlum. Radlum: Thank you for accepting me.
|

| Hell Gate B3 Denim: Who the hell made this spooky dungeon? (A young girl appears) Young Girl: Why are you here? Denim: Why are you here?! ...Did you come here by yourself? Young Girl: No. Everyone died. They turned into stone. Denim: Stone? Young Girl: Do you see those statues nearby? Denim: Y, you mean these are... Young Girl: Yes. They were turned into statues. The guardian of the shrine put a curse on them which turned them into statues. Everyone here was once human. Denim: Why have they been turned into stone?! Young Girl: This shrine is a sacred place...only disciples of Asmodeus are allowed here. Denim: Who are you......? Young Girl: My name is Zadova. And now you are going to be turned into stone!!! (reveals her true image and summons allies) Denim: What?! Are you the guardian of ths shrine?! Zadova: Stupid human!! You have come to destroy the shrine! You shall be turned to stone!

| Hell Gate B4 (Law and Chaos Routes) (In the room, Nybbas is standing with Leonard and Zaebos, who have been brought back from the dead) Nybbas: Hmmm. The cells are decaying. It's not complete. "Necro" will only turn the living into the undead... "Revivify" will only bring back life, but the aging process can't be stopped. My son was so close. I was able to regenerate his body cells. But I was unable to retrieve his memory... I am trying to achieve what you would call a soul recovery. It is very difficult. When one condition is met, another thing goes wrong... Sorry, I have failed again. Forgive me. Everlasting life and youth is the one thing that all human beings strive for. ...I guess I'll have to use this. (Denim and his troops arrive) Nybbas: Oh, look here... Denim: Leonard!! How did you get here?! Nybbas: You are the last person I expected to see here. Ah yes, I remember now. It's Denim, right? I'm so glad to see you again. What are you doing here? Why the Hell Gate? Are you seeking the Dragon Magic? ...Or are you seeking eternal life like me? Shall I show you the results of my research? Don't be shy, I'm so anxious to show you. (summons undead) You took real good care of me in Kadoriga. So this time, why don't I pay you back?

| Hell Gate B4 (Neutral Route) Nybbas: You are the last person I expected to see here. Ah yes, I remember now. It's Denim, right? I'm so glad to see you again. What are you doing here? Why the Hell Gate? Are you seeking the Dragon Magic? ...Or are you seeking eternal life like me? Shall I show you the results of my research? Don't be shy, I'm so anxious to show you. (summons undead) I may have lost the battle at Fort Damsa, but this time you are the one who's going to lose.

| Hell Gate B6 (Denim enters a seemingly empty room) Denim: I guess there are no enemies on this floor... (A ghastly figure appears behind Denim) Denim: What the...!! Ghost: Do not act in haste, mortal man. Denim: Who are you?! Ghost: My name is Roderick. I used to be the King of Brigantes... Denim: Roderick, you were the loser in the Unity War against King Dolgare? Roderick: Yes......are you the man who battles against Vesinian? Denim: Vesinian? You mean the Bacrum Army? Roderick: The man who fights against Vesinian is my friend. I shall share my power with you... Denim: Power? Roderick: Yes. I will teach you the secret technique of Brigantes which has been preserved for generations... There are 10 kinds of secret techniques...but I can only teach you one...that has been the rule and... besides, humans are not capable of learning more than one... First, I'll give you the ability in which you will be able to change your inner power into an energy sword. Whoever has a sword may achieve the secret technique. Who wants to have this? (At this time, he teaches Fudo to the ally of your choice) Roderick: We shall meet again... (disappears) Note: This is the one time that Roderick appears at a fixed point to teach one of your characters a special technique. Since the damage that Fudo does is equal to the user's DEX, I would recommend giving it to either Guildus, Haborym, or another of your characters that has really high DEX. When you are brought to the unit selection screen for the first time, you'll be asked (in wrong wording) if you wish for a character of yours to learn the technique. Choose "Yes," which is the first option--otherwise, you'll permanently forgo the opportunity to learn the technique! |

| Hell Gate B25 Vepar: Denim of Griate, how did you get here?! I was so close to solving the mystery of the FireSeal! Everyone! You can't allow him to proceed any further! Kill him!

|
|
| Hell Gate B50 Belzbute: How rare it is to see a human being down here...ah, you must be the leader of the Liberation Army, Denim of Griate! No wonder you made it here... You will be the ideal sacrifice to our lord Asmodeus!

| Last Level, First Visit Nybbas: You finally made it to the bottom of the Hell Gate... You have made great progress. But can you kill me? I shall call demons from the eternal darkness. Come and destroy these meddling kids!! (summons undead) At least this will be the last time I have to see your ugly face!
|
||||||
| Last Level, FireSeal Battle Note: You will get this battle when you return to the Last Level of Hell Gate with the four Wind God Weapons. If you don't have all four of them (or if you've already got the FireSeal), you will have the next battle.
|
||||||
| Last Level, Non-FireSeal Battle Note: You will get this battle when you return to the Last Level of Hell Gate, provided that you either don't have all four Wind God Weapons or have already gotten the FireSeal.
|

Blacmore: And there you have it--that about covers what you'll see in Hell Gate. It may take a long time to get through it, but it offers you more of a challenge than the Roslolians! Also, you'll find a number of unique classes here, some of which you can recruit. Explore the Shrine of Asmodeus on your own!
