The Valley of Fire is the first area of the Mountain Kingdom from both Gauntlet: Legends and Gauntlet: Dark Legacy. Despite having different iterations throughout the different versions of Gauntlet: Legends and Gauntlet: Dark Legacy, it has, for the most part, maintained the same with a very linear and short level design.
Appearances[]
Gauntlet: Legends[]
The Valley of Fire is the first area that the heroes travel through, and as it is very short, it acts as a bit of a tutorial for players.
Arcade[]
Unlike other versions of this area, the arcades' versions hold no significant items. It is necessary only to access the next area.

- This is the only area (of the games it appears in) to not have anklebiters.
