Accursed Ruins is the 14th level in the The Demon Realm and is based on the SNES game Demon's Crest.
Layout[]
This level takes place in a city being remodeled to look more like a medieval demon town instead of a modern city after Loki's demon army destroyed it in Zombie Firestorm, with towers with statues of gargoyles pouring clean water into the river and some catacomb caves underneath the city. In the original Demon's Crest game, the main character Firebrand escaped from the amphitheater and headed down to the mountains when he encountered the general demon Arma, who tried to execute him. After Arma was testing Firebrand to see if he was worthy of an opponent, he retreats as he drops the Crest of Earth, giving Firebrand to transform into G. Gargoyle form, and then he returns to the ghostly town to break a Fountain of Flames blocking the entrance to the Catacombs to fight the eyeball blob called Ovununu to get a piece of the fire crest called Buster as part of his quest to retrieve the other crest and get revenge on his rival demon Phalanx for ruining his life.
The first area is a small introduction to the city as the player deals with some Skeletons and Ghost Demons while crossing the bridge before entering the Catacombs.
The second area takes place inside the Catacombs, as the player will have to deal with more demon-like enemies, such as Corpse Demons, Cyclops Bats and Wall Spiders. There is also a key in one of the urns; after breaking it, the player needs to find a hidden wall for the keyhole to unlock Conduit of Carnage on the map.
The third area has the player ride on the floating platforms, avoiding the spikes attached to the wall and ground while dealing with the Living Flame, which can spread some Flames after it is killed, so be careful.
In the checkpoint room, there is a message block explaining that the player is almost at Hellfire Peak and the darkness in the depths of the catacombs.
In the fourth area, the player will need to use the Fire Rod to light up the candles to have a better view of the area while dealing with more demon enemies and avoiding the spikes and pits below. After the player finds an exit, they return to the city above.
The last area takes place on a dilapidated bridge above a large river in the city. The player will face Mermen and Skull Fish populating the river underneath, as well as a number of large Fountain of Flames. Crossing the bridges led the player to the flagpole to clear the level, as they now go to Loki's Dungeon Tower next.

Trivia[]
- This level is actually split from the original version of Ghostly Avenue, which was originally known as Ruined City.
- In Demon's Crest, Firebrand first crossed the dilapidated bridges full of green Mermen-like enemies before entering the catacombs but in Mushroom Kingdom Fusion, it is in reverse order
