PDP Guide Part 16: Remains of Blazing Hell

Part 15 can be found here.

Welcome to the Remains of Blazing Hell. This is probably the most menacing area of the game, atmosphere-wise.

So, leave the Palace of the Earth Spirits through a dark, soundless hallway, and you'll be in a lava-filled area playing Hellfire Mantle. You can, of course, capture Utsuho here. Other Puppets include Kikuri and Konngara. [Thank you to Damian xi for letting me know Konngara can be found here]

Ok, so! Start by going straight! Also, this place is too confusing to go in-depth with right now, so let's go the simple route, shall we?

When you see a bridge, ignore it for now and instead go up, left, up, and head up the steps. There's a Zombie Fairy up there who will fight you with a level 41 Utsuho. Head back down the steps and go back to the bridge. Cross it and fight the Vengeful Spirit there with a level 41 Nue.

Head up past the Spirit and then down the steps. Head to the right and pick up the Yin Yang Orb containing a Rice Dumpling. Then head back and up. Fight the Vengeful Spirit with a level 41 Seija. Past him is a bridge. Cross it. You'll see a cat run away as you do. Head up the nearby steps, then down the next set. Fight the Vengeful Spirit with a level 41 Kikuri. From the spirit, head up, and down the ladder.

Fight the Vengeful Spirit with a level 41 Tojiko. Go right, and then up.  When you get to an area where you can turn, go right. You'll see the cat again. Follow it. Fight the Zombie Fairy with two level 39 Futos. Go down the steps near her, follow the path. Do not turn left, go up instead. Cross the bridge to the right and pick up the Yin Yang Orb containing a Prismatic Candy. Go back across the bridge and then up and left. Fight the Zombie Fairy with a level 41 Suika. Go to the left and down the ladder.

Go down and cross the bridge. Fight the Zombie Fairy with a level 39 Kisume and a level 39 Yamame. Go past her and turn left. Pick up the Yin Yang Orb that contains a Rice Dumpling, then go back and down. You'll see the cat again. Follow her downwards. Oh, and save. Now. Trust me.

Head up the steps and you will have to fight Utsuho herself.

She uses a level 42 Orin, level 42 Utsuho, and a level 46 Utsuho.

Ultimate battle, by the way.

Upon defeating her, go past Utsuho and take the steps up first. Go all the way to the end to pick up a Yin Yang Orb containing Burning Stones. Go back and down the steps, cross the bridge, and you can exit this area. Orin is over here too, but she won't fight you yet.

Go down the hallway. At the end, go through the top doorway first to heal in the bed there. Then take the bottom door.

Head down in this creepy area to be ambushed by Medicine, Wriggle, Mystia, Luna, and Sunny. Reimu will appear to help, and the rest will run off. Reimu will then leave too.

You can't go the way that she did, and there is nothing to the right, so your only choice is to go down.

Go right next and fight Luna Child and her team of level 40 Gyokuto, level 40 Kagerou, and level 40 Luna. Head down past her to face Sunny Milk and her team of level 40 Star, level 40 Luna, and level 40 Sunny. Head up and go up the nearby stairs to witness a fight between Reimu and Wriggle. Then head back down and fight Cirno and her team of level 41 Daiyousei and level 41 Cirno.

Next up is Rumia and her level 41 Sekibanki and level 41 Rumia.
After her, you will run into Reimu again. She will leave to the south. If you follow her, you will see her surrounded by fairies. You will then have to fight Medicine. Medicine uses a level 44 Rumia, level 44 Cirno, level 44 Sunny, and level 48 Medicine.
After defeating Medicine, I'm assuming Reimu is telling you to go on without her. While you could follow Medicine now, there's some other things to do here, so let's finish up here first, shall we?

Head down, and then keep going up until you see Mystia, and then turn left (you don't have to fight anyone over there because Reimu took care of it). Go past the steps and to the next platform, then go up and through the door. In here is a storage room of sorts with a bunch of Yin Yang Orbs. You can get a Paste of the Fog, Skill Card 25, Prismatic Candy, and Moriya Sinshu in here.

Now, head back to Reimu and go up.

In the next area, go left. Go up the steps, and then go left and up. On the next platform, it doesn't matter which way you go. Just go up. On the next platform, go right and up some steps. You will now have emerged near Mayohiga.

Now, you can either continue on here and walk to the little rest area near Mayohiga, or just Gap there. I'm going to walk for the extra Exp, but if you are in desperate need to healing, there is no shame in Gapping.

Head up the steps nearby and fight the nearby Sunflower Fairy with a level 32 Medicine and a level 32 Aya. Pick up the nearby Yin Yang Orb containing Skill Card 54. Head up and fight the Brown-Haired Fairy with a level 32 Kisume and a level 32 Yamame. Just past her is a Purple-Haired Fairy with a level 32 Sunny and a level 32 Star. Now head up the steps and get on your Inflatable Raft in the water. Head to the left and hop down the waterfall. Keep heading down waterfalls and to the left until you finally reach the end and can hop off (you'll see a road). You will be back near Mist Lake. Now, feel free to Gap wherever you like, or hop on down to Mist Lake and take it from there.

I'll see you in Part 17!
