Hell
From Disgaea Wiki
Hell (abbreviated as HL) is the currency in the Disgaea series. Hell is acquired by completing maps, opening treasure chests in Disgaea 2 and Disgaea 3 and selling items.
[edit] How to aquire
- Automatically by destroying enemies and clearing maps. Each and every enemy the player faces on a map gives a certain amount of experience and Hell, based on what level the enemies are. And the higher leveled they are, the more Hell they will offer.
- A player will not receive any Hell if they destroy an enemy in the Item World, then leave either via Mr. Gency's Exit, or through the red portal to the next world.
- A player will also not receive any Hell during a Promotion Exam, or in the Dark Assembly when persuading by force in Disgaea: Hour of Darkness and its remakes.
- Through the Bonus Gauge. Depending on the difficulty of the map, the hell bonus can be incredibly small, or incredibly large. (for example, The Tutorial Map of the first Disgaea could have a hell bonus of around 7 - 12 HL, while the fight against Baal could offer up to 350,000 HL as a bonus). It is possible for a player to receive multiple Hell bonuses in this way for completing just one map.
- By selling items and equipment. Usually, a player will receive only half of what an item is truly worth (Specialists, Rarity, and level of the item can all add to this worth).
- Though only a few times throughout the whole game, a player can receive Hell through storyline play.
- In Disgaea 1, a player receives 300 HL after clearing the Tutorial map in order to heal their characters at the Hospital. Also, a player recieves 5000 HL from Hoggmeiser when he joins the team at the end of Chapter 3.
- In Disgaea 2, a player recieves 300 HL after clearing the Tutorial map in order to heal their characters at the hospital. This only happens on the first playthrough, as the tutorial is skipped completely on each additional playthrough.
- By passing the bill 'Extort Money from Senators' ('Raise Military Funds' in Disgaea 1). However, this is a very useless way to get Hell, as you must often pass the bill by force, since all senators tend to hate it, and the cost of healing your characters afterwards is usually more than what you receive.
[edit] What is it used for
- Healing. By talking to the healers in any Disgaea game, a player must pay Hell in order to heal the team. The more damage the player's characters took, the more SP the characters used, and any destroyed characters will all add to the HL cost of healing the team.
- Buying items and equipment. By buying better equipment, a player's characters can become stronger, either offensively or defensively, and by buying items, a player can either heal a character, restore some SP, heal a status effect, or even steal items from enemies. Buying items and equipment can also help for bribery at the Dark Assembly.
[edit] Trivia
- In one non-plot-related cutscene in Disgaea 1, Etna and Jennifer are seen in an infomercial-style commercial, trying to sell the Super Robot Thursday (and a bonus branch chopping set) for "only 29,990 HL"
