The Hellfire Chasm is one of the four bonus dungeons in the Dawn of Souls version of the original Final Fantasy, and one of the five in the 20th Anniversary Edition and iOS/Windows Phone versions. Hellfire Chasm does not appear in the Android or Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster versions.
It is located in the southeast end of the swampy island and directly south of the cave of Bahamut in Cardia Islands. It is accessible after defeating Marilith in Mount Gulg. It is longer than Earthgift Shrine with ten floors, but shorter than Lifespring Grotto and Whisperwind Cove. The Archfiends from Final Fantasy IV appear here.
The chasm contains many lava-filled floors. The party will need constant healing to reverse the HP-draining effects of the lava tiles, which even appear in a level reminiscent of the Sunken Shrine. Scarmiglione and Cagnazzo appear on floor 5, though the player may only battle one during each run through the dungeon. Likewise, either Barbariccia or Rubicante may be battled on floor 10.
Items[]
In the Hellfire Chasm, treasure lists are static on each floor, but the number of chests in each floor varies, and these are randomly sorted for each run.
