However, the enemies found in the Devil gate trial caves can withstand and inflict more damage than their regular counterparts, and they also appear in much greater numbers than in regular Devil Gates or Demon Scrolls. Furthermore, the area will not be immediately cleared by a single battle; instead, each "trial" consists of ten successive gates, each with its own increasingly formidable set of opponents. Although Amaterasu can rest inside the cave after each gate battle, all ten gates must be cleared in the same visit; if she returns to the surface and comes back again, the gate sequence will start all over again from the first one.

The Devil gate trials are very challenging for the unprepared player, but the rewards make them worthwhile. The battles can be used for farming, as they yield a huge quantity Yen, Items, Demon Fangs, combat experience for Issun with the Thief's Glove, and so on. After clearing all ten gates in an area, a Stray Bead will be rewarded. Afterwards, Amaterasu may return again at any time to repeat all ten gates from the beginning for more treasure and experience; another Golden Peach will appear by itself (not in a chest) inside the combat arena after the end of the tenth round, but must be picked up before the arena dissolves. Should Amaterasu fails to get the Golden Peach, then if she returns to the cave, the Devil gate trial will have reset (Though she won't get an extra Stray Bead) and she will have the chance to collect the Golden Peach at the end of them again. This can be used as a way to gather a lot of Yen. The three Devil gate trial caves are found in the following locations. Note once again that though the Bandit Spiders can be defeated immediately after entering the cavern, the Devil Gates will notappear until a certain point in the story; if they do not appear at first, go back upstairs to progress the main story, then come back down every so often for a recheck.
* Ryoshima Coast: On the way to the cave leading to the Guardian Sapling, there is a hard-dig spot in an alcove to the left, near some cows. (The alcove is off-limits as a cursed area until the sapling is revived.) After fighting all of the "forced" fights in this region (where new demon types are introduced), the Devil gate trials will be open.
* North Ryoshima Coast: Located on the middle island of the three western ones. The Devil gate trials open up after clearing Oni Island.
* Kamui: - Found behind a frozen waterfall, destructible with Cherry Bomb, below the path to Wep'keer. The Devil gate trials will be open after defeating Lechku & Nechku in the Wawku Shrine.
