question to phil
SPOILER
the wounded soldier does not give u the necessary spell if you heal him, does that mean that he wanted to trick you too or was she just too weak and forgot about it

To be honest I can't remember and i can't find the reference to check. Suffice to say, I think he was lying too.

Hey, just finished Midnight Deep. I gotta say that it was a pretty amazing story, and a real challenge. Now, I'm playing through Hellfire which is coincidentally just as hard. Now I'm stuck at this part that has a few options, but all lead to death. It's page 386, where you must pass through Hellfire. Anyone know what to do at this part?
C-Star Mon Nov 19 17:00:31 2012
Hellfire is hands down the hardest book on this site. It's ridiculously (some would say retardly) difficult. I never won it, gave up after death number 20. But as for your question, I can be of some help.
SPOILER
You need a special scroll called the 'Dispel Hellfire' scroll. I believe that to get this, you must choose to kill the woman very near the beginning of the game, then get the scroll she drops identified.
END SPOILER
I've never done it myself, that's just from stuff I heard on the board here over time. So if someone more accomplished could elaborate on it further, that'd be nice.
...I really should try again at some point.

Thanks C-Star, I did end up getting the scroll from killing that lady. Unfortunately, I don't have the attention span to go all the way back to the Hellfire part -_- I guess I'll take a break from that and try and easier one for now...
C-Star Mon Dec 31 00:32:13 2012
Oh dear God.
I just tried Hellfire again. Got to the acid river. I don't think I've said the f-word more times in my life. That book is cruelty incarnate! The maps don't help much either...
C-Star Mon Dec 31 10:45:35 2012
At least I already have the Wish Ring and the Mirror. I know I need these later for two powerful monsters. I also have 2 open door spells. Just need to find the time spell next... Isn't there also a very specific time you have to use it?
C-Star Mon Dec 31 13:43:03 2012
Actually, forget my previous rants, I figured it out myself. Apologies. Now...
I SHALL TAKE MY VENGEANCE ON THE NIGHT DEMON!!!
I hope he's easier to kill... Most of the really bad monsters in Hellfire could be avoided or weakened in some way, but Trinitour was still pretty tough, even with the chaos cross.

Speaking of pages that link nowhere...
SPOILER
In Hellfire, there is a 'time loop' passage with a long, dark tunnel where two sections continously link to eachother endlessly. It's basically a death. Is there anything you can do here or are you just doomed?
END SPOILER
Phil Sadler Fri Feb 15 19:40:00 2013
There's no way out of the time loop.
C-Star Sat Feb 16 18:52:04 2013
Oh, so it's just a strange death. Thanks, I always wondered about that time loop after I beat the book.

Hey all, apologies if this has been asked before, but I'm stuck in Hellfire and need some help!
SPOILER
How do you get past the burning room with the upside-down man? Both running through and prayer lead to instant death. Do I need an item or is this path a dead end?

@Kee
Yes, you need the 'Dispel Hellfire' scroll. You get this by

killing the chained up old woman near the beginning. However you also have to find someone that will identify it for you.
END SPOILER
And I'll give my usual advice of downloading the text version for reference if you get stuck.

@C-Star
Ah, many thanks. I'll give it a second go, thanks for the help!

Hey guys how do I get past the river of acid in hellfire, nun of the options work
pi4t Fri Jun 21 08:16:19 2013
Hellfire seems to have some bugs regarding fighting with maces: it's still possible to click on the link if you don't have one, and seems to destroy your sword!
pi4t Fri Jun 21 08:17:37 2013
Oops, I really should pay more attention to the rest of the paragraph before posting: I threw away the sword to replace with another. Still, it's possible to get to that point without a mace.
