Through the gates of Hell with Elle and Izayoi

The gates of Hell have opened in camp. Beyond them lies a realm consumed by corruption, waiting to be purified one building at a time through Japanese.

JLPT: Journey Through Hell brings N2 and N1 trials to Lexicon Odyssey. The questions are hard, and battles leave very little room for error. You will almost never win your first fight. Keep trying, learn the points covered by each question, and make full use of Guard and Heal to defeat your enemies one by one!

Two layers of Hell, two complete stories

N2 tells the story of 『焦熱の代書屋』, while N1 tells 『万言録』. Elle and Izayoi accompany you throughout the journey and fight alongside you in boss battles. At the end awaits Enma, the King of Hell.

Explore 37 buildings, each dedicated to a question type. Every building also contains 12 investigation points: 444 in total, each with a passage of Japanese lore, a translation, and a learning card.

Answer questions to make your move

• Nearly 1,900 N2 and N1 questions across 20 question types, from kanji readings to integrated comprehension and listening.
  
• Attack, Guard, and Heal all require you to answer questions. Reading and listening use the Chant mechanic.
  
• Monsters learn new skills as Purification rises, becoming tougher as you progress.

Answering questions takes time, so battles can be long. Take your time reading, listening, and learning instead of rushing for a win.

Stories from the underworld

From the heavenly rock cave in the Kojiki to the Black Rope Hell in the Ōjōyōshū and Ryūnosuke Akutagawa’s The Spider’s Thread, stories drawn from Japanese mythology and Buddhist texts appear in the Hell Scrolls and exclusive accessories.

Rewards for purifying Hell

• 50 Purification levels, with rewards as you progress. Spend Pure Souls earned through purification to strengthen Attack, Defense, and HP. Accumulating them also unlocks additional effects.
  
• 5 weapons and 25 accessories, including 1 Mythic accessory.
  
• Thousands of gold, plus Elite Gear Tickets, small amounts of Star Marrow and Tamahagane, and other materials.
  
• 4 exclusive titles: Reader of the Hell Scrolls, Scorched Revenant, Avici Revenant, and Spotless Before the Mirror.
  
• Exclusive crest parts: 12 symbols, 6 primary colors, and 4 background patterns.
  
• A new JLPT Hell category in the Word Codex.
  
• 2 new music tracks.

Before you buy and play

• Requires the base game, Lexicon Odyssey. With the DLC installed, new events take place in camp. Complete the camp companions’ requests and have Izayoi join the camp to unlock the trials entrance.
  
• This DLC is designed for N2 and N1. Both the questions and the battles are very difficult. Please consider your Japanese level before buying. Do not be discouraged by a poor result; learning a language takes time.
  
• The trials’ questions and learning points are separate from your existing study progress and do not affect study progress in the base game.
  
• Character progression in Hell is partly independent of the base game, so you can take on Hell without first spending time on the base game’s progression.
  
• These are original practice questions in JLPT formats, not questions from past JLPT exams.
  
• Treat the trials as extra practice. Do not use them as a complete replacement for exam preparation or regular study! The JLPT is very demanding, so keep studying and reviewing!
