Story:
Astaroth once again faced the Grand Chase. But this time, a tragic incident happened. While they are confronting Astaroth, he suddenly unleashed an attack but Harpe blocked it for his master, Ronan, and it caused him to face his death. Astaroth, again, releases another attack but Grandiel, his old friend (found in Phantasmic Sector/Magic Labyrinth) blocked it for them. He explained that they must go towards the Dimension Door that leads to the Monster Train where all departed souls go in order for them to proceed to the Netherworld.

Gameplay

Monster Train 301 Gameplay (Hard Mode)
There are 4 stages (5 for Golden). Here are some information about the stages:

Stage 1
There are several Death Spectre, but do not mind them first, kill the 2 Death Conductress FIRST because it can heal herself and the other monsters around (it can set you to invisible, similar to what Nemophilia and Vulcanus did in Shrine of Ruin and Hell Furnace respectively)

Stage 2
In this stage, there are two parts, divided. There is also a way for you to kill the monsters easily! First, kill the 2 Cannons found above the train then kill the Conductress next and then you can proceed to the remaining type of monster which is the Death Conductor. Now, be aware that this monster can inflict you a status ailment (electrocution/shock) that can counter you whenever you use a skill.

Stage 3 [Mini Boss]
Only Death Prisoner and Death Conductor types of monsters are here in this stage. Take not that there are Death Conductors around Death Prisoner, so aim your skills properly~! Death Prisoner has 2 attacks that is shown in the dungeon. One is the attack similar to Blutus in Goblin Labor Camp and another attack that he hits the ground and you can be inflicted w/ Confusion if you are near enough. Also, there are chances that you must hit the level found near the end points of both sides of the dungeon in order for the barrels to hit Death Prisoner, not you.

Stage 4 [Boss--Deputy Jack]
There are at least 3~5 Death Conductors around Deputy Jack. Also, beware for the boss' attacks (most esp. the Mocking Blade-like attack and the steam-thingy.) He will use the Jeeves Powerbomb + Victor Punch-like attack or the Jeeves Etiquette-like attack first then he will randomly use his attacks. Keep on hammering him, until he runs low in life. Be cautious when hammering this guy, he'll eventually use the Mocking-Blade like attack and use the steam-like thingy that can make you slow and you'll die or in Fatal Mode. Note that when you hear the "choo-choo" sound of the train, be weary of the possible places you can stay for a while when the steam commences. When he runs low of life, he'll summon more Death Conductors and one Death Conductress found somewhere in the end points of the map. Again, kill her first so that you won't have a hard time killing the boss.

[Secret Stage--- Death Engine]
There are 2 engines ~~waiting for your souls~~ you might want to kill with a strategy.
First Part
The lower engine is the only available opponent to be killed for the meantime. Be alert when you hammer it down, you might want to avoid its sucking attack. You can gradually kill the engine by pet skills or simple skills or attacks (if you are semi-melee/range)
Second Part
While the lower engine is temporarily closed, you must kill the upper engine for the meantime. This engine has more attacks than the lower one. First, it has this mini bomb that can scatter traps; Second a bomb that will follow you; Third, a falling machine debris that will fall to the position you previously are; and fourth, the deadly fire projectiles that can lead you to fatal/death.
*If the upper engine scattered traps (a mini-bomb is always release before it will become a trap) run the end point of the map and wait for it to detonate then, hammer the upper engine
*If the bomb (the one following you was released) you can evade it by using a skill
*The falling machine debris is easy to dodge because you will see tiny things coming down. They drop the machine debris on the last spot where you are
*The fire projectiles can lead you to FATAL MODE or even DEATH, if you are caught within the deadly attack, run as fast as you can to escape the AoE
Third Part
You must kill both of the engines the same style like you did with the Storm Sisters in Forest of Life. Be wary of their attacks combined with additional attack:
*They will release large fireballs continuously. You can dodge this attack by simple pressing up and down keys.
ADDITIONAL NOTE
If you are a Geas/La Geas user, you can just use Canceler to block the thing/droid that is following you
