* [[Glechoma]] will tell you to find him in the forgotten library in the Desert Dungeon Cave under the Nahari desert south of [[Eschen]].

You will need [[Key 4009]] to open the door to the library. The hidden room entrance can be opened by placing the 5 different [[Books of Secrets]] on the stone pedestals inside the library. 
** Once opened it stays open until the next server save and the books are not consumed, so not every player has to collect the books.<br><br>
<div style="text-align:center">[[File:DemonicFaction17.png]]</div><br>

<div style="text-align:center"><h3><u>'''Hellgate Guardians'''</u></h3></div>
* Once you're done with Glechoma, you will need to defeat the guardians of the 5 lesser hellgates.
* You can do these bosses in any order. Only 10 people can access each of the hellgates at 1 time. A team of 6+ is recommended. You can repeat the bosses, but you cannot enter first if you've done it before, only after someone who hasnt done it has entered.
* The lowest recommended level for the blockers would be around 300, but 350 would be better. Equipment with elemental resistance is recommended (especially fire for the Belrekath and Qyreva seals). Two healers, or at least 1, would benefit the party greatly.
**One of the 5 bosses you need to have defeated for this mission is [[Thor'garak]], but this is done through the [[Grim Faction]] so you don't need to do that again here.
<br><br>
<div style="text-align:center"><h4><u>'''Velranos - Lucindel Orcs Hellgate'''</u></h4></div>
* Travel to the orc encampment west of [[Lucindel]] [{{OldMapperLink|y=2305|x=1947|z=7}} here] {{OldMapIcon|y=2305|x=1947|z=7|zoom=5}}, follow the path down to the hellgate.<br><br>
<div style="text-align:center">[[File:DemonicFaction18.png]]</div><br>
* In this seal you'll face a lot of [[Demorc]]s and [[Demorc Brute]]s. Just go slowly but be prepared to face 3-4 at a time. 
* Go into the tower, you'll need to go to the top of both of the towers and pull the 2 levers there. 
** You'll be facing several Demorcs and Brutes on each floor up so shooters should take care.
* Once you pull both levers, go downstairs to the bottom floor of the tower, once again you'll face some Demorcs and Brutes, but also a [[Demorc Warchief]] in the portal room who is quite a bit stronger.<br><br>
<div style="text-align:center">[[File:DemonicFaction19.png]]<br><br>[[File:DemonicFaction20.png]]</div><br>
* You can enter the boss room by right-clicking the black poison snake statue.
* You'll face the Typhon boss [[Velranos]] here, he does a lot of poison damage so [[Amulet of the Elements]] and any other elemental damage reduction options are a good call. Knights should do their best to avoid the wave and face the boss away from the shooters. Just shoot the boss down as quickly as possible using SDs.<br><br>

* The boss you'll face inside is [[Zarguth]], the Incidamus boss. This one isnt particularly strong so just keep it away from the shooters and shoot it down with SDs.<br><br>

* You need to throw fire fields on top of the 4 button tiles in the corners of the last room in the double demon spawn as shown below in order to open the hole at the north of the room. You can use a [[Fire Field Rune]] or use the fire elemental the demon summons to cast them under you onto the tiles.<br><br>
<div style="text-align:center">[[File:DemonicFaction25.png]]</div><br>
* You'll face [[Hellfire]]s and [[Cerberus]]es in this seal, go slowly but be prepared to face as many as 2-3 hellfires and a cerberus at once. The blockers should make sure to keep the cerberuses facing away from the shooters, mages may want to consider using [[Magic Shield]] even though they will lose mana from the on fire debuff. Everyone should use the [[Amulet of the Elements]] and get as much fire resistance as they can for this one.
* You will need to have 3 players step on button tiles in the castle for a fire wall to drop so you can pull a lever behind it that opens the path to the boss.
** 2 buttons are on top of the towers in the north-east and north-west parts of the castle and 1 is downstairs. There are hellfires in the towers and the downstairs area has a cerberus and several hellfires so take care!
* Once all buttons have been stepped on at the same time, the fire wall on +2 will drop, take care as it will release 2 cerberuses. Kill them and pull the lever behind the throne in the room behind the fire wall.
* Now go back down the stairs to the gate, enter the left side of the walls and go downstairs to make your way to the boss portal.
* The boss you'll face inside is [[Qyreva]], the Succubus boss. This one is one of the more dangerous ones. The boss keeps a distance, the main blocker should stand at the left or right side of the arena to keep the boss facing AWAY from the shooters. Shooters should be very attentive and make sure to avoid the announced fire bomb attack the boss uses. A large diamond shaped area of tiles will glow red about 2 seconds before the attack is executed as a warning, the attack deals 1200-2000+ fire damage even using the AmuletoE. <br><br>

* Travel to the Pits of Inferno dragon lord spawn in the desolated lands north-east of [[Arak]] [{{OldMapperLink|y=3228|x=2588|z=7}} here] {{OldMapIcon|y=3228|x=2588|z=7|zoom=5}}, follow the path down to the hellgate.
** You'll need a [[Heart of Fire]] to enter here.<br><br>
<div style="text-align:center">[[File:DemonicFaction30.png]]</div><br>
* You'll face [[Succubus]]es and [[Hellfire]]s in this seal, go slowly but be prepared to face as many as 3-4 hellfires and a succubus together. 
** Knights should take care to face the succubuses away from the shooters, and the shooters should be very attentive and avoid the announced fire bomb attack, same as with Qyreva in her seal (as shown in the gif below). Mages should use [[Magic Shield]] for this one. [[Amulet of the Elements]] and fire resistance is recommended for everyone in this seal.<br><br>

* You will need go to the hill in the east part of the seal and pull the lever there to open a hidden hole.
* Once you've pulled the lever, go back the same way to find the hole, you'll face more hellfires and succubuses inside, follow the one-way path to find your way to the portal.
<div style="text-align:center">[[File:DemonicFaction31.png]]</div><br>
* The boss you'll face inside is [[Belrekath]], the Flamebringer boss. This one is a bit more tricky and complex, and the boss has some special abilities. <br>The boss fight has 2 stages, the first stage takes place on a lower floor, and once the boss gets down to below 50% health it's teleported and the floor turns to lava. Mages should take care at this point and take off their [[Energy Ring]] and walk slowly over the lava as it does 200-300 damage per step.<br>The second stage can be reached by going over to the left side of the room and levitating up to the left, and then going up some stairs.<br><br>
<div style="text-align:center">[[File:DemonicFaction32.png]] [[File:DemonicFaction36.png]]<br><br>[[File:DemonicFaction33.png]]</div><br>
* A special ability he has is summoning [[Hellfire]]s, but this is announced and can be prevented by quickly stepping on the skull pattern that appears on the floor near the boss.<br><br>
<div style="text-align:center">[[File:DemonicFaction35.png]]</div><br>
* Belrekath sometimes casts an announced Ultimate Explosion type spell which can deal as much as 2000-3000 fire damage. He will yell 'BE ENGULFED IN MY FLAME!...' and 4 seconds later he will cast the spell, it cannot be avoided in melee range.<br><br>
