Purgatory

The Purgatory is the level the player goes when he dies. If the player approaches the Black Fountain and interact with it he will reespawn into the last activated Fire Cairn again.

If permadeath has been activated then when the player launches the game he will reespawn directly into the purgatory level. There are ways of going out of the permadeath state.

The purgatory also connects with the Icelands and The Descent. If you cross the big doors it will also lead you to the Twin Fountains.

Tips

 * Do not harvest the light on the purgatory. Instead, you can use it in the Light Pit on the Icelands.
 * If you have the long dash and the flashlight it is posible to get out of the purgatory straight into the descent. You will appear near The Sun, perfect if you need to harvest light. To unlock this path you will need four full harvesting fingers.
