| Hellbound - Stage 8 (Iron Castle Gate) |
Tailor Buron in the Native Village will tell you that the Outpost Captain could help you break through the gate of the outer Enceinte of Beleth’s fortress.
Do not listen to him. If you attempt to politely speak with the Outpost Captain, he will first ask you to “step closer”. Then he will immediately paralyze you, examine you for a moment, and decide you are too weak to be of interest.
What follows is a devastating whirlwind combo with his dual swords, followed by ranged grenade attacks from his minions. Whether or not he respects you, he definitely sees you as suitable prey.
Better avoid conversation altogether — quietly observe, prepare, and engage the Enceinte in a traditional way.
Aside from the Outpost Captain, beware of the [Enceinte Defenders]: • Some can strike single targets from long distances — physically or magically • Others can wipe out entire groups at close range • A coordinated and disciplined party is strongly recommended
After the Outpost Captain is defeated, the gate will open and you may proceed deeper into Hellbound to liberate the slaves Beleth holds at the oasis behind the Enceinte.
