Run 1, Chapter IX: The Gates of Hell

The key device and its hidden fight, the ruin of many columns, the Glittering Passage, the broken stairs and their side path, and the great round area where the chapter's last two fights wait.

Forge the key at the device where the chapter opens, then follow Loki across broken platforms to a ruin of many columns, through a golden portal into the Glittering Passage, and up a broken stairway to a great round area where the chapter's last two fights wait. You arrive with Panther Within, Snake Within, Crow Within and every weapon from earlier chapters. One Muspelheim portal and two hidden fights sit just off the path, and the third and last piece of The Harmonious Blacksmith LP is here: its weapon is forged at the shop once the chapter is over. The Chapters VIII-IX Complete Tear fires when this chapter ends.

Muspelheim: behind the temple columnsCollectible
Location
Chapter IX · Verse 3 – Walk on round the columns toward the golden portal. Behind the second column on the right side, the Muspelheim glows. Inside you face a Malicious, a Hideous and one big demon. Kill the Malicious first: it is worth extra time and strengthens the Hideous while it lives (some players start with the Hideous instead). Bring your hardest-hitting weapon, such as Chernobog, and keep a full magic gauge for a Torture Attack on the big demon.
Requires
Summary
Verse 3, a Muspelheim portal where every kill adds time to the clock. Clearing it pays a Broken Witch Heart.

Broken Moon Pearl: restored resting place by the golden portalUpgrade
Location
Chapter IX · Ruin of many columns – Out of the Muspelheim, carry on to the golden portal Loki opens. The pale blue resting place stands just to the left of it. Walk up to it to start a timed hunt, gather every scattered piece before the clock runs out, then break the rebuilt chest. If time runs out, walk up to it again to retry.
Requires
Summary
Half a Moon Pearl, held in a faded blue resting place that must be rebuilt. Restoring it also counts toward the Liberator of Time Tear.

Glittering Passage fightQuest step
Location
Chapter IX · Verse 4 – Step through Loki's golden portal into the Glittering Passage and follow the path on down the wall.

Requires
Summary
Verse 4: an Allegiance and two Acceptances, then an Urbane with fists of ice, in the Glittering Passage.

Gates of Hell portal: return dropArea
Location
Chapter IX · Landing by Rodin's portal – The red portal stands right where you dropped out of Loki's portal. Step in to shop and step out to carry on.
Requires
Summary
Rodin's red portal into the Gates of Hell, his shop. Nothing on this walk has to be bought here, and the last LP piece of The Harmonious Blacksmith is still ahead, so its trade waits for the chapter's end.

Verse 5 comes after Verse 6

Verse numbers here don't follow the walk. Take the ambush on the stairs (Verse 6) first, then turn back for the side path with the LP piece and the Verse 5 platform. Some players do the side path first; either way every fight is reached.

Requires
Summary
The third and last piece of The Harmonious Blacksmith Golden LP, which completes it. With all three, Rodin forges the Takemikazuchi hammer.

Before the great round area

The fight in the great round area runs straight into the chapter's last fight, which ends the chapter. Take the LP piece and clear Verse 5 first. If you miss either, replay the chapter from Chapter Select after the story.

Golem in the great round areaBoss
Location
Chapter IX · Verse 7 – Hop back across the rubble to the stairs and keep following Loki up to a huge round area, where a Golem takes you on again. Dodge its attacks for Witch Time, and each time it falls apart into pieces for a moment, hit its exposed weak point as hard as you can.
Requires

The ProphetHidden spoiler – activate to revealBossMinor spoiler
Location
Chapter IX · Verse 8 – A scene follows the Golem, and the Prophet attacks straight after it. His giant blue arms punch, and their open palms fire wide lasers that also shove you back. The swings are fairly easy to read and slower than the Masked Lumen's, so dodge them for Witch Time; he keeps backing away, so shoot him with Love Is Blue whenever he is out of reach. Winning ends the chapter.
Requires
Summary
Verse 8: the chapter's boss, who fights with huge glowing blue arms.

TakemikazuchiWeapon
Location
Chapter IX · Gates of Hell – The only red portal in this chapter is back at the landing, behind you once the last piece is in hand, so trade at the chapter's end. Once Chapter IX's results are done the game has saved: quit to the title, choose Story, then Chapter Select, then Shop, and hand Rodin the complete Harmonious Blacksmith LP. Back out and choose Continue to start the next chapter. If Shop isn't on the menu yet, trade the LP at the next red portal on the walk, Chapter X's, beside the path just past the first centipede bridge.
Requires
Summary
A huge, slow hammer for the hands slot, forged by Rodin from the complete Harmonious Blacksmith LP at no cost in halos. Its blows break through shields and the guard of big enemies.
