Description This dungeon is separate from the main game scenario of Valkyrie Profile. This means that there is no correspondence between it and the main game. To gain access to the Seraphic Gate, you will need to save your game at the final save point before the boss battle with Surt or Loki. After doing so, reset your system and a new option called the "Seraphic Gate" will show up on the main menu, choose it and you will be asked to load the game which you just saved. After you have done that access will be granted to the Seraphic Gate. |
Additional Information Welcome to the caves of the Seraphic Gate where the gods of the other wold live!! This is open only to those who have acquired 8 orbs during the main game. This is your last trial, and you will face the most vicious of enemies. How well have you trained your characters? Will they live up to the test? I pray that they fight bravely. |

While at this dungeon, when using eight Flame Jewels found throughout hard mode, you can acquire several powerful items. You can even add Lezard Valeth, Brahms, and Freya to your team. These are characters which you interacted with during the main game, but never joined you permanently. In order to unlock these characters you must play hard mode and find at least three of the eight Flame Jewels. But you really need all eight Flame Jewels, because the characters are rather useless without their ultimate weapons found behind the other five doors. The Flame Jewels are found within the following dungeons and on hard mode only: Salerno Academy, Dark Tower of Xervah, Citadel of Flame, Sunken Shrine, Tombs of Amenti, Celestial Castle and Arian Labyrinth. Each of these dungeons has one Flame Jewel each, only the Tombs of Amenti has two. Be sure you locate each Flame Jewel from their respective dungeons before you leave them. You won't be able to enjoy the Seraphic Gate to it's fullest if you don't. The ultimate bosses of the Seraphic Gate are Gabriel Celeste and Iseria Queen. These are angels that are also found in Star Ocean and Star Ocean: The Second Story. Unless your team has the best equipment and at a high level you will have a very tough time beating Gabriel, let alone Iseira. Both can dish out insane amounts of damage and have a great deal of life. The Seraphic Gate is the largest dungeon in Valkyrie Profile, so to get things started use an Eye of Heaven this will allow you get a handle of it's layout. After that walk into the save crystal, equip your best gear, and then save your game. But remember, if you use this save point to overwrite your original save, you won't be able to return to the main game scenario. With that in mind, I suggest you make a new save. Now walk into the next room on your right. You will soon notice these monsters move very fast and that Valkyire's crystals no longer have any effect, so you will need to run/slide/jump around them. The first room is a long hallway with two enemies on the ground and one in the air, run and jump over the first two and side under the other, then proceed to the next room to the right. In this room you will see three platforms, jump across the top two and head to the right to find a treasure chest with Spell Reinforce. Now move to the left and fall to the ground, on your right will be another treasure chest with a Golden Egg. After opening it, make your way to the next room by running left. This next room has three platforms as well, jump across the top two and head into the room on the left. Inside you will find another treasure chest and an enemy, try to avoid him and open the chest to find a Golden Egg. After leaving the the room, fall to the ground and head right to the next room. This room is another hallway, two enemies are in the air and one on the ground, so slide under the top two and jump over the other and move on to the next room. The next room has three platforms, fall in front of the first one and turn left, you will find a treasure chest with a Golden Egg. However, it has a trap so move away after you open it. Now run to the right and enter the door for next room. This room has three platforms and three doors, the door on the bottom right leads to a room with a treasure chest and one enemy, the top right door leads to three other rooms with treasures along the way but ends up being a dead end, and the bottom left leads to the next floor. First enter the bottom right room, inside you will find a enemy and a treasure chest containing Might Reinforce. Head back to the original room and then enter to the top right door. In the room use the platforms to make your way to the top left room. Once you have entered the next room, run straight across to find a treasure chest with Fire Lance, now use the platforms to enter the top left room. Inside you will find two treasure chest, first has the Gem of Creation and the second has Mighty Check. After getting both these items head back to the original main room and follow the door on the bottom left. This next room is a long hallway with two enemies on the ground, they like to stay close to together making it hard to jump over them, try to time the jump and head to the left for the next room. You will see three platforms jump on to the top left and you will see a locked green door, this is where you can use your first Flame Jewel. After using the jewel, enter the door and run through the next room, in the room after that, you will find a Razor Shaft and Eternal Garb. However, both chests have a trap, so be ready to jump soon after opening them. At this point head back to the main room and jump across using the two platforms, enter the door to the top right and you will see an orb, use it to enter the next level of the Seraphic Gate. After you use the orb you will be on level two, also known as the red floor. At this point head to the right, make sure to keep running as you enter the next room, because an enemy will fall from above you. After that, keep running right to the next room. In this room you will find another orb, enter it, and after you are teleported head to the left. Here you will find a room with three platforms and two doors, the bottom left door is another door where you can use another Flame Jewel. After using the jewel, run to the left for the next two rooms and enter into the orb. Once teleported, run to the right and you will meet up with Lezard Valeth. After defeating him, equip him with your old magaician's gear and set his spells up, then switch him into your party as he is one of the best magaicians in the game. Now return back to the original room, once there, use the platforms so you can enter the top left room. This next room has two doors and three platforms with a treasure chest on each, the first chest has a Golden Egg, the second has Poison Blow, and the thrid has Eternal Garb. After opening all three enter the top left room, inside you will find Sap Guard, Fire Storm, and a Golden Egg. At this point, head back to the previous room and use the platforms to jump across and enter the top right door. This next room has one enemy in the air and one on the ground, and if you didn't get a Dimension Slip during the normal game, here is your chance. Jump into the enemy found in the air, as you enter battle you will see two Unholy Terror, your goal here is to make one of them drop a treasure chest. You have a 50/50 chance of getting a Dimension Slip, but if you get a Lapis Lazuli insted or a chest doesn't drop all, just battke them again by leaving the room to the left and re-entering, do this until one of them drops it. Once you have one, equip it to Lenneth and you will no longer have to worry about enemies. Okay, so continue to the right and enter the door, the next room has three platforms and two treasure chests. The first chest contains a Golden Egg and the second has a Eternal Garb, after picking up both of those items head into the top left door. The next room is a long hallway so just keep running to the left. After entering the next room, you will find a sealed door on the top right of the room, so use your third Flame Jewel to open it. Inside you will find a Soul Sword "Kusangi" and the Wand "Mystic Sage". However, as before, both chests are trapped and you will need to jump soon after opening them. Return to the previous room and use the platforms to jump across to the next door on the top left. Be careful not to continue running as you enter this next room, if you do so you will fall back down to the second room of the Red Floor and will need to run back again. Alright, so, this room has four platforms with a treasure chest on each. Open them with caution, however, chest one, three and four have explosives, while chest two has confusion. Be sure to avoid these traps, if you're hit with any of these you could easily fall off and would then have to make your way back up. Oh, and if you jump in error, make sure to hold up so you can grab one of the chains. With all that out of the way, chest one has Frigid Damsel, two has Mighty Check, three has a Golden Egg, and four has another Golden Egg. After picking up each item jump left to enter the next room. As you enter, you will see a chain that is too high to reach, so make a level two crystal on the ground and jump on, then jump again to reach the chain. Hold up and work your way up to the door at the top left of the room. This next room has a treasure chest, open it to find a Scout Orb and then make your way to the next room on the left. As you enter, run off to the left, then off to the right, now enter the door on your right. You will an orb in this room, use it and you will be teleported to the Green Floor. Once you are have teleported enter the door to your left, in next room, use the platforms to jump across and enter the top left door. As enter you will see an orb, don't use it however, open the treasure chest to find Shield Critical then run back to the previous room. As you enter the main room run off the ledge, on your left you will find a treasure chest with a Golden Egg, after opening it, run to the right and enter the door. Continue running right into the next room, in the room after that, you will find your fourth sealed door in the top right of the room. Use your fourth Flame Jewel and enter the now open door, run straight through the next room, in the room after, fall off the ledge and continue to the right. In the next room you will see a treasure chest, within is a Golden Eggg, but before you are able to acquire it you will be forced into battle. After the battle, enter the door on your right, in the next room fall of the ledge and continue to the right and enter the door. In the room after that, fall off the ledge and enter the door on your left. This next room is a long hallway and at the other end you will find two treasure chests, the first has Holy Wand of Telos and the second has Ethereal Divide. Both have traps so be ready to jump soon after you open them. After you have picked up both items head back to the previous room, at that point fall off the ledge and enter the door on your right. In the next room you will see a platform, don't jump to it however, instead you need to run off the ledge while holding up. Since you held up, you'll grab ahold of a chain that is found in the below room. Jump left an open the treasure chest to pick up a Golden Egg, be careful however, it has an explosive trap that could knock you off the ledge. After picking up the item jump to your left, you find the fifth sealed door where you can use another Flame Jewel to make entry. Continue through the next room, in the room after that, you will find an Ethereal Garb on the bottom left and when the help of platforms will find Lightning Bolt to the top left. After picking up both use the platforms to enter the top left room, inside you will encounter the Vampire Lord, Brahms. After besting Brahms, head back four rooms and run off the ledge. You will fall past past one level and then reach the ground on the second, at that point run to the right where you will enter a door. In this room you will need to kneel and use Lenneth's sword to break through the glass on the far right. As you fall down to the next level you will see another sealed door, use your sixth Flame Jewel to gain access and then enter. Inside you will find a orb, use it, then after you are telaported run to the right and fall off the ledge that you find in the next room. When you reach the ground, enter the room on the right and you will encounter the goddess, Freya. After the battle, exit the room and use crystals to reach the first chain, then climb up and go back through the orb. After you are teleported head left, in the next room fall down one level where you can kneel to use Lenneth's sword to break through another glass panel. Fall down another level, then once you reach the ground run left for the next three rooms. In the third room you will find another orb, use it, after you are teleported run left out of the room and then fall off the ledge. You will fall for two levels, but be sure to hold up as you need to insure that grab the chain. Once you get ahold of the chain jump up to the right and enter the door, inside use the platforms to reach the seventh sealed door at the top right of the room. Use your jewel and enter, then run right for three rooms, when you enter the third use the platforms to reach a treasure chest found at the top left of the room, within you will find a Golden Egg. After picking up that item use the platforms to enter the top left door, then run left for two rooms. When you enter the the second room use platforms once again to reach a treasure chest that has the Demon Sword "Nefarious". But be warned, the chest has a confusion trap so don't stand up after opening it. The second treasure chest has the same trap as the one before, so be sure not to stand up. Anyway, within you will find a Bloody-Duster. At this point equip it, and your best gear to Brahms, then move him into your active party. Make your way back six rooms to where you originally unsealed this seventh door, then fall off the ledge and enter the door on your right. In the next room run of the ledge and enter the door on your left, continue left in the upcoming room, in the room after you will find a treasure chest with Icicle Edge. After you pick up the item put yourself in the center of the glass panel, now kneel and slash to break it (stay centered as you fall). When you have landed, enter the door on your right that is now open. Inside use the orb, after you are teleported, run left for the next two rooms. In the second room you will find a treasure chest on the ground that contains a Golden Egg. After you pick up the item make a level two crystal on the ground, Jump on it, then jump again to reach the chain, now just hold up and work your way to the top where you can enter the top right door. Run through the next room, in the room after you will encounter Seraphic Angel, Gabriel Celeste. After the battle run off the ledge and enter the door on your right, inside your will find an orb that will take you to the final level of the Seraphic Gate. Once teleported head left, in the next room use the platforms to enter the top right door, in the next room do the same, meaning use the platforms to enter the top right door. In the next room use the platforms to enter the top left door, in the room after that use the orb, after you are teleported run left for two rooms. At the end of the second room you will find the eighth sealed door, use your final Flame Jewel and enter the orb found within. After you are telaported run left, then in the next room use the platforms to enter the top left door. Within this room you will find two treasure chest, but both have confusion trap so don't stand up after opening them. The first chest has Dainslef and the second has Ether Laser. You now have a weapon for Freya, equip her with your best gear and move her into your active party. Head back seven rooms, at this point run off the ledge and enter the room on your right. Continue right for two rooms, in the second room use the platforms and you will find a treasure chest that has a Lapis Lazuli. Run off the ledge and you will find another treasure chest on your right, open it, but then back up some as it has a explosive trap, inside you will find a Golden Egg. After picking up both items use the door on your left to exit the room, run left for the next two rooms, the far end of the second room you will find two treasure chests, the first has Wand of Exchange and a Quartz Gem. That's 100% of the items, so all that is left is to run right for four rooms. As you enter the fourth room run off the ledge and enter the door on your left, run left for the next three rooms and you will encounter the Seraphic Angel, Iseria Queen. |

Telling Lenneth that she would not have him join her if she knew him well. He goes on to say that he has been called stalker, pervert and dirty old man criticized harshly by all during development. Lezard adds that she might be a goddess, but he shall prove to be more then a worthy opponent for her. When the battle stats you will see that Lezard is accompanied by a Hell Gaze (HP: 20,000 Experience: 21,700) and a Brutal Gaze (HP: 54,900 Experience: 21,700). During my tests I found that Lezard will most likely start off the battle using Fire Lance, which will do about 55,000 to one member of your team. There is also a chance he will use Frigid Damsel, which will do around 81,000 to one member of your team. The main goal here is to kill all three at once, because at the end of your turn both gaze's have the ability to resurrect Lezard or one another if they are killed. If this happens, the character resurrected will be at full life again. Out of the three characters you can add to your team in the Seraphic Gate, Lezard is the only one of that can attack every member of your team at once, so with that in mind you need to win this battle quickly. Start off with casting Spell Reinforce so your magician's spell damage will be maxed out, then, if you want, do half hearted attacks on Lezard and the Hell Gaze. Try not to kill anyone and then end your turn. Lezard and the Gaze's will attack with magic spells, but only Lezard's should do any major damage. Once it's your turn again, go all out on Lezard, make sure you chain your combo properly so you can cast Purify Weird Soul with your magician. If you have the Wand "Mystic Sage", that was found on this floor, and equipped it and your magician you should use Celestial Star or Meteor Swarm. With that wand, both of these spells should be able to kill Lezard and the both Gaze's at the same time. After the battle, Lezard says that it was just his luck to fall in love with a goddess. Lezard goes on to say enough of this, he wagers that there is some sort of fierce enemy here. But Lenneth won't be sent in there alone. They must go together and Lezard joins your party. |
Brahms |
HP: 172,000 Weakness: None Experience Points on Easy: N/A Experience Points on Normal: N/A Experience Points on Hard: 210,000 Items Dropped: Razor Shaft Attacks: Bloody Knuckle, Deadly Raid, Immortal Blow Purify Weird Soul: Bloody Curse Brahms will start off saying that while this game was being developed, he gleefully told another person on the team that once this game was finished, he was going to join another company that made him an offer. He goes on to say that he could tell that his words stung him deeply in his heart. Adding, the reason he is hear today is to show his gratitude and regret to that good man. Finally he says to forget everything! Brahms then tells Lenneth to try and fight him. I'm not sure if that was what was said in the original Japanese game or what. I could just be one of the English translators playing a joke. Like Freya, Brahms has high defense so the only ones that will be able to any amount of serious damage are Lenneth and Lezard or another magician. So just use your the other members of your party to build up your gauge. Brahms can do a lot of damage, but only to one member at a time, so unless you run out of union plumes you basically can never lose. Strategy here is simply, just keep doing as much damage as you can each round, until he falls. After the battle, Brahms tells Lenneth that it may be hard for her to believe, but although she thinks herself supremely mighty, there is much she does not know. He goes on to say that he will be sure to closely follow Lenneth's progress, then joins your team. |
Freya |
HP: 300,000 Weakness: None Experience Points on Easy: N/A Experience Points on Normal: N/A Experience Points on Hard: 0 Items Dropped: None Attacks: Critical Flare, Aerial Burst, Thunder Sword Purify Weird Soul: Ether Strike The Goddess Freya will start off offering apologies to those who thought she would join Lenneth during the game. Adding she could not, as it was determined from the beginning. Freya then asks Lenneth to demonstrate her skills, because there is no reason for her to follow someone weaker then herself!! When the battle starts, you will soon notice that Freya has very high defense. Only Lenneth, Lezard or another magican will be able to a good amount of damage to her. Oh, and you will also notice that she has a high chance to block your attacks. Because of her high damage, whoever she attacks will be killed. Like Brahms, she can only attack one person at time. So as long as your union plumes hold out you should be able to win, even if it takes awhile. Keep the damage up and she will eventually fall. After the battle she admits that Lenneth has long since surpassed her own strength. Freya agrees to join you, adding that they will need Lenneth's strength. Going on to say that it has been a long time since they fought side by side and it makes her yearn for the old days. |
Gabriel Celeste |
HP: 800,000 Weakness: None Experience Points on Easy: 900,000 Experience Points on Normal: 300,000 Experience Points on Hard: 210,000 Items Dropped: None Attacks: Crescent Touch, Celestial Blade Spells: Fire Lance, Fire Storm, Icicle Edge, Frigid Damsel Purify Weird Soul: Meteor Swarm, Empress Massacre Gabriel Celeste is an optional boss that has been in the all of tri-Ace's games and was included in Valkyrie Profile as a secret boss. Before you start this battle make sure you have Auto Item, Angel Curios, and Guts or you won't last long. When you enter her room she declares: "...A human? No, a frightening and might spirit body. And it is from another world... Hah! Perhaps humans who label all they cannot understand as "supernatural" would think you a god... To me, however, you are mundane... But I am interested in you. So, will you fight me, then? Though this will be a very short fight!!". Obviously, Gabriel Celeste thinks Lenneth won't be able to last long in a battle with her. She is right however, because the first time you fight Gabriel she is tough, very tough, and the battle can take a good fifteen minutes. As the battles starts, Gabriel greets you saying "Vulgar beings, you have not known true terror repent!". She then uses "Empress Massacre", a 28 hit attack that is very cool to watch and definitely gets the job done. After she is done showing off, start off by casting Might Reinforce, then have one of you other team members use a Charge Break on your magician. On your next turn have your magician cast Sap Guard on Gabriel. Your goal now is is to keep the damage up while reviving your team members quickly after they are killed, as long as you can keep this up you will win, even if it does take a fair amount of time. Keep in mind that every ten turns Gabriel will cast "Meteor Swarm", an attack that will do about 360,000 damage to everyone. When she reaches 0 life she will begin to fade away uttering: "I have been defeated well done heroes, I am sure we will meet again in another time and place...". Congratulations on besting Gabriel Celeste, but the true test of the Seraphic Gate is yet to come. |
Iseria Queen |
HP: 2,300,000 Weakness: None Experience Points on Easy: 3,000,000 Experience Points on Normal: 1,000,000 Experience Points on Hard: 700,000 Items Dropped: None Attacks: Extension Force, Crescent Touch, Celestial Blade Spells: Fire Lance, Fire Storm, Mystic Cross, Sacred Javelin Purify Weird Soul: Cosmic Spear, Empress Massacre The time has come to face the ultimate boss of the Seraphic Gate, Iseria Queen. She is surprised that the person who brought down Gabriel Celeste has come to challenge her, but is interested to take you on none-the-less. If this is your first time fighting Iseria you will need 99 Elixirs and Union Plumes or you have little chance of winning. Make sure you have auto item set to use Union Plumes before Elixirs, and equip Angel Curios on everyone. Don't even worry about trying to heal, or cast spells Might Reinforce, Spell Reinforce, or Gaurd Reinforce. This is because everyone on your team will die repeatedly. Also, every five turns Iseria will use the spell Cosmic Spear, which does well over 90,000 damage to everyone on your team. So hopefully Guts or Angel Curios activates or it's all over. Like with Gabriel, the main goal here is to keep doing damage while resurrecting your party members quickly as they are killed. Make sure you chain your combos correctly so you can do all four special attacks at once, this will make sure you can do as much damage as possible. The battle can take well over half an hour as she has 2,300,000 life. Once Iseria gets to about half of that she will transform shouting: "Now I shall end this!". An angel will now appear above her, and she will use Empress Massacre. You will notice that Iseri'a version is much stronger then Garbriel's. Just always remember to keep the pressure up until she falls. After the battle Iseria begins to fade away uttering: "What do you desire after you reach the ultimate rank? Heh, it's none of my business. I'm sure... you will... be able to...". Congratulations, you have bested Iseria Queen and cleared the Seraphic Gate! |
