	Ideally, you have high resistances to counteract each branch's element: rF+++ for Gehenna, rC+++ for Cocytus, rN+++ for Tartarus, and a little bit of everything for Dis.

	The portals out make [[stair dancing]] harder, but make escape easier. Should you take a nasty beating or realize you're under-prepared, simply take a portal back to the Vestibule, keeping whatever map knowledge you've had. Going back will make you experience more Hell effects, though.		The portals out make [[stair dancing]] harder, but make escape easier.

	*The Hells received a rework in [[0.28]]; introducing many new monsters and the unique branch-wide forces of each Hell. Prior to this version, Hell's Mystical Force was slower, but more varied, with miscasts and monster spawns. In addition, Hell's floors were normal sized, with 3 stairs in each direction.		*The Hells received a rework in [[0.28]]; introducing many new monsters and the unique branch-wide forces of each Hell.
