"HELL GATE"





This is the first time I have ever conducted a Walkthrough, so if there are any things missing 

which I don't know much about, which you feel I can be informed from yours, I hope you don't 

hesitate to email me.





O.K! This is a Walkthrough to help you out in the 100 Levels of the Hell Gate, which you can get 

by reading the Warren report about a Freak explosion, which will be available after conquering 

the Fiduc Castel but before the Banisha Castel (where you get Kachua back) in Chapter Four.





The main object is to get the eight Dragon Magic's:



ASTEROID: Call a meteorite from the sky and gives all enemies damage.

MP: 80	Target: Infinite



SNAPSHOT: Turns the user body into a sword. The higher the user's ability, the better the sword becomes.

MP: 0	Target: Infinite



RETISSUE: Changes an undead character into an amazon or soldier.

MP: 70	Target: Infinite



MUTE: Turn the water in the air into ice and gives all enemies damage.

MP: 80	Target: Infinite



DOMINION: Stop the count of WT for a certain time.

MP: 70	Target: 6



TEMPEST: Summon a storm and call down lightning bolts. Gives all enemies damage.

MP: 80	Target: Infinite



ENTIFY: Gives away the user's soul and calls back a dead soul instead.

MP: 70	Target: Infinite



WIPE OUT: Call down a rain of fire. Gives all enemies damage.

MP: 80	Target: Infinite







The eight Secret Techniques of King Roderick:



FUDO: Gives damage with the user's ability.

Requires any Sword.



FIREWAVE: Turn mental power into fire.

Requires any Axe, Spear, Claw or Hammer.



MEGABOLT: Turn mental power into lightning.

Requires any Axe, Spear, Claw or Hammer.



RAGE: Turn the user's fist power into direct damage.

Requires any indirect weapon



DRACUL: Enhance the power of a weapon.

Requires any Sword.



RELIC: Turn enemies into stone.

Requires any Axe, Spear, Claw or Hammer.



SOULWAVE: Decrease the HP\MAX of the enemy.

Requires any Axe, Spear, Claw or Hammer.



RAMPOWER: Make the target move a step away.

Requires any Axe, Spear, Claw or Hammer.  









The FIRECREST: A red crest sealed in a Divine Dragon's soul.

Evidence of a true warrior. The ultimate gem.



Belonging... Physic

Weight +1

Physical RES+30

Wind RES+30

Fire RES+30

Earth RES+30

Water RES+30

Holy RES+30

Dark RES+30





In order to get the FIRECREST, you need to fulfill 3 requirements:



1) Beat Nybbas in the Last Level of the Hell Gate.

2) Read about the report on FireCrest from Warren.

3) Have with you the FOUR Wind weapons forged by the Gods.

   (Get them when you kill guardians in the Hell Gate).

   The four items are: 

			NOTOS SWORD

			BOLEAS AXE

			EROS HAMMER

			ZEPYULOS LANCE



Then go back to the Hell Gate.  The last guy has the crest.







Now this is a description of what you will find in the levels of the Hell Gate:





B1: Boss Falfadet

B2: Guest Radlum (Warlock), he has the Wipe Out Dragon Magic.

B3: Find the secret door in the upper left part of the room before killing the Boss.

B4: Boss Nybbas (Sorcerer) Items you get: Earth Spear (STR+34), Hero Spear (STR+31).

B6: Fudo (Special Power)

B12: Heavy Axe (STR+45)

B13: Four Guardians: Boleas Axe (See NOTE1)

B15: Ogre Armor (The BEST Armor in the game)

B17: FireWave (Special Power)

B24: Zombie Boots

B25: Boss Vepar (Searzist) Items you get: Holy Robe, Wind Staff, Light Helmet, 

     Starion (Holy Attack Magic) MP: 60   Target: Infinite

B26: Star Bow

B27: Tempest (Dragon Magic)

B28: Ogre Helmet

B29: Warrior Helmet

B31: MegaBolt (Secret Power)

B32: Blood Whip (The BEST Whip in the game)

B42: Rage (Special Power)

B43: Dominion (Dragon Magic)

B44: Igunis Spear

B50: Boss Belzbute (Demon) Spell you get: Death (Dark Attack Magic) MP: 60  Target: Infinite

B55: Balmuck Sword (STR+42)

B56: Mute (Dragon Magic)

B57: Dark Hammer (STR+48)

B59: Retissue (Dragon Magic)

B60: Chaos Bow (STR+30)

B61: Evil Necklace (Spread Fear)

B64: Dracul (Special Power)

B66: Ogre Shield (One of the BEST Shields in the game)

B72: Relic (Special Power)

B73: Warrior Gauntlet

B75: SnapShot (Dragon Magic)

B76: SnapShot (Dragon Magic)

B77: Evil Spear (STR+43)

B78: SoulWave (Special Power)

B79: Grim Armor

B81: Asteroid (Dragon Magic)

B87: RamPower (Special Power)

B92: Ripple Staff

B93: Warrior Armor

B96: SnapShot (Dragon Magic)

B97: Angel Armor (One of the BEST Armors in the game)

B99: Ogre Sword (Duh!)

Last Level: Boss Nybbas (Lich) Lv.40  (I was expecting Asmodeus, though)







NOTE1: The level in which you'll find the Guardians is completely RANDOM, so don't expect

to find them always here. You need the find them FOUR times in order to get the FOUR weapons.

Also I don't think you can meet them the four times in just one trip, you need to come back

at least one time so... GOOD LUCK!



NOTE2: You need to kill the enemies in order to get the items of each level, so don't waste time

"searching" or "burning" for them. Also I'm still not sure if they'll appear in the same level 

all the time, but at least it'll give you an idea of what you'll find.







                                       FIN
