Tower of Remembrance - Ancient Gate is a stage featured in Soulcalibur IV, notably used by the bonus characters. It's a rocky area surrounded with lava, set outside Algol's tower, with clouds lurking over the stage. When characters fight Angol Fear, Kamikirimusi, Shura, Ashlotte, or Scheherazade in the third stage of Story Mode, they face the bonus character on this stage. If the player listens hard enough after ringing an opponent out, they can hear a hissing sound as the rung out character hits the lava. This is where Hilde and Ivy fight in the opening scene, and is similar to where the battle of Siegfried versus Nightmare, Yoda versus Astaroth, The Apprentice versus Taki, Darth Vader versus Mitsurugi and the Create-a-Soul character versus Cervantes take place in the opening scene.
