The Hellfire Chasm is one of the four bonus dungeons added to the Dawn of Souls version of the original Final Fantasy and also included in the 20th Anniversary Version. It is longer than Earthgift Shrine with 10 floors, but shorter than Lifespring Grotto and Whisperwind Cove. The Archfiends from Final Fantasy IV appear here.
True to its name, the Hellfire Chasm contains many floors that are filled with lava. The party will need constant healing to reverse the HP-draining effects of the lava tiles, which even appear in a level reminiscent of the Sunken Shrine. Scarmiglione and Cagnazzo appear on floor 5, though the player may only battle one during each run through the dungeon. Likewise, either Barbariccia or Rubicante may be battled on floor 10.
