Got it as Emperor of Trebizond.

Closed it with exorcism but still went down in history as 'Despot Alexios the Cruel'.
 
I wonder if the Mystic trait has any use: does it unlock new events? Does it make the Occult rumour event chain more likely to happen?
 
I sacrificed my daughter :D
 
I just filled it with rocks myself and got big bonuses to opinion. Anyway it was really really nice and hopefully we'll see similar events in the future as well.
 
I seem to have a problem with this event. I have been pressing the options for two straight years now and can't seem to "close the gates of hell". I'm just losing prestige with nothing working. I have three options and I tried them all. None worked. For two years!!! I don't want to start over. :(
 
I got this playing Leon, and it fired and fired and fired and it was annoying by the end (several -15 prestige hits). Does it do that often? I tried every choice at least twice, no idea what ended it, my last responses were just "go to H*** yourself!"
 
I tried 20+ times to resolve it and no luck. Is there any way to finish this event so I can go on with my game? This is getting stupid - I will actually have to reload my game to pre-event (10 or 15 years ago) just because of the random number generator which is, to say the least, broken. (90% chance to suceed -> fails 20+ times in a row. C'mon who made the RNG? Trained squirell?)
 
i got it 2 times as count of ulster, then, i decided to give up after the loss of 150 prestige....

Nothing seem to work...
 
I (King of Lenister) was looking over my vassals and saw that my niece (Countess of Lenister) had the modifier "Closed Gates of Hell", which gives her a +5 Learning, +5 Church Vassal Opinion, and +3 General Opinion. Was very confused, so I looked it up here. Would seem that my brother's otherwise rather innocuous daughter stepped up when the universe presented her the opportunity.

God was bound to throw her a bone eventually, what with me covertly assassinating her husband and three children to keep the county from passing to the Kingdom of Wales when she dies and all.
