The Rings of Hell

The Rings of Hell in Monster Train refers to the the different sections of the game. There are 9 rings in total and each contains a number of Event Locations which provide beneficial effects. There is though a certain amount of randomness attached to what event will appear in a run. Check out our Rings of Hell guide to find out more about each ring.

After you complete the first ring in Monster Train subsequent ones will become available which will have two branching paths and you will only have access to the locations on one side. This means that once you have selected an event you will only be able to follow the events that appear on that branch, this causes the other side's events to become inaccessible. There are however some rings which have a central location at the bottom which can be accessed from either path.
