Summary A summary guide to the Inferno. I will start by setting up an outline which will be organized by the Circle of the inferno. The secrets links should contain things you have found and ideas of things that you think might be there but haven't figured out yet.

Italy Area

This area contains about 30 rooms and has several mobs you can interact with. One thing that I really want to know is if there are any helpful quests here. It seems like some of the mobs should be able to help you with the Inferno, especially the priest.

Key Questions?

Can you attend mass -- what happens?

Is the holy water important?

What's the deal with hermit who will preserve for you?

Before you go you need to get a battered coin from the ancient Etruscan wall. 'Dig wall' to get the coin to pop. You may have to dig several times.

Dark Wood of Error

You go invis to get by the aggressive mobs in the woods.

Circle 1:Limbo

Lots of shades to talk to here. If you ask them "who are you?" or "why are you here" they tell you about who they were in life. This is a theme throughout the inferno. Perhaps some of their answers offer clues. You can fish in the rivers here, but a sea-serpent comes and attacks you. The serpent has a lot of hp, and is not worth killing for the 90k xp. You have to give charon a battered coin to cross the acheron in order to go on. Once you go past Charon you can't go back. Across the Acheron are famous personalities from before Christ.

Circle 2:The Lustful

You have to fly to get around here once you go down the pit. The beautiful people are flying around here like Helen, Cleopatra, Paris, and Achilles. This sub-area ends at Minos.

Circle 5:The Styx

Use a flask of Greek fire oil and a tinderbox on the brazier to call the boatman. The boatman comes and picks you up and carries you to the other side.

Circle 7:The Violent

This is the one area in the inferno that is likely to kill you. If you are dex you can flee past all the violent shades which reside on a certain stretch of the river. The goal is to get to the burning trees to the east, and once you are there you are safe. The shades see invis and bash and are aggressive so if you get caught you will likely die if you are alone and there are more than two in the room. Shooting them in one at a time is the best way to go and any decent level 50 can solo a shade very easily and likely can even kill two at once.

This circle begins with the Minotaur who won't let you pass. Taunt him and he smashes his head against the wall allowing you time to get by. At the precipice, throw the girdle into the air. One of the fallen angels that was outside of the city of Dis, comes and carries you past the waterfall.

Circle 8:Malebolge

This is where the hellraker's are. There doesn't seem to be much to down here. You walk through the Bolges (ditches) until you get to the 10th where there is a hand of a giant. Sit on the hand and you are taken down to the 9th circle, treachery.

Circle 9:Treachery

This area is divided into 4 sub-areas: Caina, Antenor, Ptolomaea, Judecca. You walk over the chest of lucifer to get to the 'center of the earth' and follow the path until you get to a dead-end with an angel. Ask the angel return and you are transferred to a random Medieval church.
