- This is a simple puzzle:

| The two braziers in front of the door power the magical barrier - you'll have to extinguish the fire to get to Maintenance Hall. North from the door are two cascades of lusty water. Bathe in on of them, and it will transform you into a form with a pink aura. In this form, will be able to interact with the braziers. Pour the lusty aura in the brazier to extinguish the fire, then repeat the process to put out the other brazier and the door will open. |
Subboss: Jesse
- Keep fighting the demons and get to the kitchen, where you'll find Jesse and Julius talking. Then Julius teleports away, leaving you alone with Jesse.
- Jesse uses Martial Arts and the Energy Tempest copies the appearance and abilities of the original mentors as his health depletes in the following order:
- When below 90%, Jesse transforms into a version of Batman, using Martial Arts weapon style. From time to time, he will summon one of the two types of Sin Energy.
- When below 60%, Jesse transforms into a version of Circe, using Hand Blast weapon style. From time to time, he will summon one Burning Sin Energy and one Frozen Sin Energy at once - the interval between each summoning is reduced.
- When below 25%, Jesse transforms into a version of Superman, using Brawling weapon style. From time to time, he will summon two Burning Sin Energy and two Frozen Sin Energy at once - the interval between each summoning is reduced.
- When below 10% Jesse returns to normal, and he will summon two Burning Sin Energy and two Frozen Sin Energy at once every few seconds.
- Burning Sin Energy spawns from the ovens on the north side, while Frozen Sin Energy spawns from the freezers on the south side. They appear to have 3 and 2 maximum, respectively. They can generate a firestorm/blizzard that hits you for 5% of your health rapidly if you come too close (multiple Sin Energy can stack their damage).

JuliusFinal Boss: Julius
- It's time to face Julius. From time to time, he will "feast" on the font in the room, becoming invulnerable himself. This is the only time when the font can be attacked. He remains with a shield afterwards that can be damaged and destroyed - this will repeat unless you destroy the font, but that's not necessary. He also uses the Brawling weapon style and has a Theft of Vigor ability that stuns you while stealing some of your health and power, and it can be interrupted if you resist it, or break out of the stun, or use a crowd control ability against him. His other abilities include Pulverize (stomping), Flightsnare (a dark beam that grounds and pulls the target towards him).
- The run will end when Julius is defeated and asks for the check.
