'''Marbas the Demon''' is the boss fight at the end of the Magician's first-job training tour. The quest tells you to find a Dark Portal where the demon hides. That portal is the "Demon's Doorway", and the report was that it did nothing when clicked. It now takes you in, but only under two conditions.

== The route ==
# Follow the Magician's training tour. It ends at [[NPC:Dances with Balrog|Dances with Balrog]] in the Warriors' Sanctuary (Perion), who sends you back to Ellinia with [[Quest:Returning to Ellinia|Returning to Ellinia]] (1,800 EXP).
# Talk to [[NPC:Grendel the Really Old|Grendel the Really Old]] in the Magic Library, Ellinia. He explains that he sealed Marbas long ago and asks you to defeat him. Accept '''Marbas the Demon!''' and you receive Marbas' Emblem.
# Go to [[Map:The Tree That Grew III|The Tree That Grew III]] and click the [[NPC:Demon's Doorway|Demon's Doorway]]. While the quest is open and you carry the emblem, it offers to move you into the lair (Marbas' strolling path). The emblem is not used up, so you can re-enter after a defeat.
# Defeat Marbas and return to Grendel.

If the quest is not open, the doorway only says it is blocked by a strange force. If the quest is open but you have lost the emblem, it says the entrance is blocked by a force that only an emblem can lift.

== The same fight for the other classes ==
Every class has its own demon, doorway and emblem. Each reward is 17,000 EXP, a hat for that demon and a Devil Hunter's Necklace.

The Pirate version starts differently: the emblem is found in a treasure chest in the Nautilus basement during [[Quest:Searching for the Demon|Searching for the Demon]], not given by the quest. A fifth doorway in [[Map:Henesys Hunting Ground III|Henesys Hunting Ground III]] belongs to the Bowman version.

== Common problems ==
; "I am the right level but the Demon's Doorway does nothing."
: Fixed. The doorway had no warp at all. Make sure the quest is accepted (not just available) and Marbas' Emblem is in your bag.
; "I cannot find the doorway."
: It stands in the map The Tree That Grew III, in the [[Map:Ellinia|Ellinia]] region, not in the town itself.
