Puerta infernal

The Pact of Punishment is key to accessing the outer reaches of Erebus.

Infernal Gates are gateways into Erebus which must be unlocked through use of the Pacto del Castigo. Within Erebus, Zagreo must partake in a Perfect Clear challenge. The difficulty of these encounters depend on how far Zagreus has progressed in the run. Enemies will spawn, usually with a few Super-Elite enemies, all of which must be killed without Zagreus taking any damage. After the Erebus encounter has ended, there will always be three exits available to choose from.

Zagreo también irá al Érebo para luchar con Caronte.

Entrada del códice

«... Si los muertos destacan en algo, es en esperar. Es lo primero que deben hacer casi todos los fallecidos en cuanto llegan a los confines de este reino. El Érebo, la zona de espera, está envuelto en un manto de oscuridad que impide a los muertos adivinar si seguirán su existencia en el esplendor del Elíseo o en los fosos del Tártaro. Algunas almas miserables, por diversas razones, se quedan en el Érebo de forma indefinida. Para ellas, el patrono ofrece un alivio: cumplir sus órdenes, o esperar, esperar y esperar un poco más.»

Unlocking and Spawning

Unlocking an Infernal Gate requires that a certain amount of Heat be activated within the Pact. Gates in Tartarus require 5 Heat; Asphodel Gates require 10, while Elysium Gates are the most expensive and require 15 Heat.

Infernal Gates will not spawn until the Alternate Exits upgrade has been purchased for 5 at the House Contractor, and will not spawn in boss rooms, the room immediately following a boss, or within 8 chambers of another Infernal Gate. Unlike Chaos Gates and Infernal Troves, Infernal Gates cannot be forcibly spawned using a Well of Charon item.

Premios

The reward for clearing an Infernal Gate is previewed before entry, and can be re-rolled using Fated Authority if you have enough Heat active to unlock it. Gate rewards are improved over their regular versions:

• Boons: Rarity greatly increased
• Pom of Power: Upgrades a boon's level by 2 instead of 1
• Centaur Heart: Grants 50 Plantilla:Health instead of 25 Plantilla:Health
• Obols: Awards 200 instead of 100

If the Perfect Clear challenge is failed by taking damage, then the room's reward will be replaced with a Red Onion that heals 1 Plantilla:Healing when consumed. Hades will mock Zagreus for failing the challenge.
