• Russell examined the chamber’s layout and realized it looked more like an altar than a bedroom.

Russell and Van Helsing discovered that the hole beneath the Magic Circle was Hell's Gate, and Dracula revealed why he had built it and feared its destruction. After Dracula and Van Helsing fought, Van Helsing struck the gate with his holy sword, leaving Russell unsure whether he had sealed it or opened it.
