The skill Su-ho used was called Enhance.

“...!”
Su-ho's eyes flew open wider than they had at any point since entering the Forge Gate.
Goosebumps swept across his skin.
A slow smile curled his lips.
"I knew it."
Most Gates contained their own clues for completion.
It was up to the player to sense and act on them.
The moment Su-ho saw that soldier’s body fly through the air, his instinct—honed from clearing thousands of Gates—had kicked in.
That instinct had delivered him the breakthrough.
The real problem with this Gate hadn’t been the monsters—it was the environment.
And now, he had found the key to overcoming it.
He raised his hammer again and went to work.

Each corpse yielded not one—but six fragments.
All with +5% fire resistance.

Su-ho carefully gathered the materials and opened the portal back out.
Outside, the Molten Dragon watched grimly, Ironclad Soldiers glancing around restlessly.
The hourglass was still frozen.
Su-ho gazed out at them, his expression warm—loving, almost.
