Because of this its always helpful to know what kind of perk next room will provide before entering it. The difficulty of these encounters depend on how far Zagreus has progressed in the run. In Hades, character progression relies heavily on which gate player picks since clearing each room have their own perks. Within Erebus, Zagreus must partake in a Perfect Clear challenge. Granted, I've rarely taken Erebus rooms in Elysium, but even then I think taking an Erebus room in Tartarus that spawns Flame wheels is way more difficult. Infernal Gates are gateways into Erebus which must be unlocked through use of the Pact of Punishment. My main reason for entering a chaos gate is: 1 for the conversation, most of the time the chaos boons arent really helpful, taking damage and missing out on a room (especially if it it is something like a boon) just to get cursed and then get a mediocore boon is just not worth it. I think the difficulty varies more based on the enemy configuration than anything else, even the floor. Furies Pursued sinners on earth, but lived in the underworld Nemesis Goddess of retribution, sister to fates, divine arbiter of justice, giving out punishment as well as rewards Hecate Queen of the dead, haunted tombs of dead and crime on earth connected with goddess of the dark side of the moon Styx River of Oaths, nine loops, surrounded the underworld. Infernal Gates, or Erebus rooms, are pretty interesting.
